In numerical combustion research, accurate chemical reaction mechanisms for heavy hydrocarbons are essential to investigate the flame dynamics of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) relative to conventional jet fuels. However, accounting for hundreds or thousands of reactions makes Finite-Rate Chemistry (FRC) Large Eddy Simulations (LES) impractical for realistic engineering scenarios. In the present

Kommuners tillsyn av rökfria skolgårdar Rökning kostar det svenska samhället uppskattat 30 miljarder kronor per år i kostnaden för sjukvård, produktionsförluster och sjukskrivning. Rökning bland ungdomar har minskat de senaste åren, men det är fortfarande nästan en fjärdedel av alla elever i årskurs 2 på gymnasiet, ser sig själv som rökare. För att stoppa ungdomar från att röka genomför kommunen The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is t

The world of games is no longer a males-only field of cultural leisure and labor practices. Many women and girls, and other marginalized groups, have taken console controls to heart and hands, embraced a variety of computer games and player modes, design games and participate in e-sports. The industry and academy and governmental policies have attempted to help balance the gender equality of the f

Semiconductors use on-chip components, referred to as instruments, for test, debugging, firmware programming, configuration and other important functions. The instruments are needed to ensure proper device operation, however, they may be exploited by an adversary in an attack. With many different actors involved in semiconductor development and manufacturing, it becomes important to restrict acces

Recording and analysing groundwater level data can reveal the nature and extension of groundwater processes like flow direction and recharge magnitude. The analyses can even indicate the influence of precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff on the subsurface processes. However, such analyses are only possible when the recorded data cover relatively large periods of time at a suitable frequency

Pseudo-Random Injections (PRIs) have been used in several applications in symmetric-key cryptography, such as in the idealization of Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) schemes, building robust AEAD, and, recently, in converting a committing AEAD scheme into a succinctly committing AEAD scheme. In Crypto 2024, Bellare and Hoang showed that if an AEAD scheme is already committing,

The paper presents novel studies on the electrical-to-thermal energy deposition to gas at different phases of a spark. The experiments utilized a 10.9 milliliter custom-built spark calorimeter. The energy transfer efficiencies across spark phases—breakdown+arc, and glow are quantified, emphasizing their importance in ensuring robust ignition. An AC capacitive ignition system was considered in the

Large intelligent surface (LIS) has gained momentum as a potential 6G-enabling technology that expands the benefits of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). On the other hand, orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM) may give a promising direction for efficient exploitation of the spatial resources, analogous as what is achieved with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)

Critical reflection and self-reflection are two interrelated abilities universally perceived as fundamental for teachers’ professional practice. In European policy documents, these are also linked to the goal of building and consolidating education for democracy (Lenz et al., 2021, p. 9). Moreover, in the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance, they are mentioned in the second competence-and-skills ou

In this paper, I draw on my background as an educational scientist with roots in sociology and gender studies to explore how public debate, political reforms, and policy documents shape Swedish teacher education with the aim of reforming not only the school system but also Swedish society. Historically, teacher education in Sweden has been influenced by visionary ideals, particularly with the intr

In this paper we propose a technique to enhance the performance of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)-based control structure for Depth-of-Hypnosis control in total intravenous anesthesia when set-point changes are required during the maintenance phase. In particular, the PID controller, tuned for disturbance rejection, is integrated with a feedforward action based on Model Predictive Contro

Den här studien tar sin utgångspunkt i Kazuo Ishiguros dystopiska roman Never Let Me Go. Med teoretiskt stöd från Gert Biestas (2011) tre utbildningsdimensioner – kvalificering, socialisering och subjektifiering – samt barndomssociologins dikotomi being och becoming (Jenks 1982; James, Jenks & Prout 1998), analyseras hur romanen förhåller sig till och problematiserar relationen mellan barndom,

Bakgrund och syfte Arbetsmiljön för veterinärer i Sverige har på senare tid uppmärksammats i media med larm om hög arbetsbelastning, höga sjukskrivningstal och bristfälliga arbetsförhållanden. En studie i Norge har visat att 30 % av veterinärerna har psykiska problem och att självmordstankar är vanliga. Övrig internationell forskning har visat hur etiska konflikter och moralisk stress i allt högre

The last couple of years’ child/youth-led climate cases like Juliana v. US, Sacchi et al. v. Argentina et al. and the Duarte Agostinho case at the European Court of Human Rights have sparked the beginnings of a new sub-field of socio-legal child rights studies. The present paper systematically and critically reviews this emerging body of literature on rights-based climate litigation with children
