Amphibian Architecture: Dwelling in a Wetland

A case study house for a regenerative architecture. What would a regenerative architecture look like, in the context of a wetland landscape? With climate catastrophes becoming the new reality for an increasing amount of communities, floods among them, how would we live in a landscape, and with what materials would we build, in order to mitigate these issues? How do we live with a landscape, inste

Impact of probiotic dairy- and plant-based yogurt on gut health in healthy individuals

Kan växtbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier gynna tarmfloran? Tarmfloran har kopplats till både hälsa och sjukdom, och genom att äta probiotiska bakterier hoppas man kunna gynna de goda bakterierna i tarmen, som får oss att må bättre. I den här undersökningen har en växtbaserad och en mjölkbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier ätits i 4 veckor och deras effekt på taIn recent years, the development of meat-and dairy analogues has increased to meet demands from consumers, as well as serving as environmentally beneficial alternatives to meat and dairy. While traditional plant-based diets based on whole-foods have been shown to lead to beneficial health effects, the new analogues differ vastly from the ingredients of a whole foods, plant-based diet and the effec

Sediment Transport in the Piura River. Piura, Peru. An application with the HEC-RAS model.

This thesis is an investigation of sediment transport in the Piura River in Peru. Years of anthropogenic changes have redirected the river towards the south and have caused changes in the flow regimen (Alvarado Ancieta & Ettmer, 2007). It is suspected that the redirection towards the south has resulted in deposition of sediments which has reduced the capacity of the river in the lower reaches

Disentangling Regional Diversification : Identifying Theoretical and Empirical Challenges Through Complex Networks

Regional diversification has been positioned as a topic of great interest among researchers of economic geography, however, there remain some research gaps that must be attended to. Through the use of complex networks analysis from this literature in a period from 1975 to 2022, we identify some methodological and theoretical issues related to its measurement methods, the lack of an integrative fra

Effects of secular growth and mergers on the evolution of metallicity gradients and azimuthal variations in a Milky Way-like galaxy

We analyzed the evolution of the radial profiles and the azimuthal variations of the stellar metallicities from the VINTERGATAN simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy. We find that negative gradients exist as soon as the disk settles at high redshift, and are maintained throughout the long-term evolution of the galaxy, including during major merger events. The inside-out growth of the disk and an o

A new specimen of Plesiopterys wildi reveals the diversification of cryptoclidian precursors and possible endemism within European Early Jurassic plesiosaur assemblages

A virtually complete and articulated plesiosaur skeleton (MH 7) is described from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) Posidonienschiefer Formation near Holzmaden in southern Germany. Plesiosaur remains are rare in this rock unit compared to those of other marine reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs and thalattosuchian crocodylomorphs. The new specimen offers an opportunity to assess the biodiversity of Early

ANN Based Fault Detection Classification in Power System Transmission line

The development of an artificial neural network to analyze power system faults is currently under way. However, the produced system is unsatisfactory because it is prone to failure and takes longer to detect faults. The ultimate goal of this project is to create an artificial neural network system that can identify and classify all forms of faults in power grid lines soon after they occur. In prin

Analysis of tool wear in micromilling Ti6Al4V and its impact on generated surface integrity

Tool wear is one of the dominant factors that impacts the surface integrity of machined materials. Understanding the impact of tool wear on surface integrity is crucial in micromilling, due to the size of the features being machined and the cutting tools. Therefore, this work aims to analyse the impact of tool wear on surface integrity during the micromilling of Ti6Al4V. In this context, microslot

High-throughput acoustofluidic device driven by an ElLIPtical Reflector Focusing Ultrasonic TranSducer (ELIPS)

Acoustofluidics is a promising technique for microparticle manipulation and has potential applications across various fields. However, its relatively low throughput limits wider applications. To overcome this challenge, we propose an ElLIPtical reflector focusing ultrasonic tranSducer (ELIPS) to drive bulk-wave-acoustofluidic devices, enabling high throughput. The ELIPS focuses transverse waves co

Role of digitalized sustainable manufacturing in SME’S : a bibliometric analysis

The evolution of digital manufacturing is inherently linked with Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) since 1980. CIM triggers the partial or fully automation in the industrial sector. Due to the global competitiveness and mandatory requirement of triple bottom line sustainability approach, the industries are on the verge of adapting digitalized sustainable manufacturing. The Digital manufactur

Real-time data collection to improve energy efficiency : a case study of food manufacturer

The rising price and demand for energy are significant issues for the food sector, which consumes a substantial amount of energy throughout the supply chain. Hence, improving energy efficiency has become an essential priority for the food sector. However, most food businesses have limited awareness of the recent technological advancements in real-time energy monitoring. Thus, the concept of “Inter

The digitisation of food manufacturing to reduce waste : case study of a ready meal factory

Generation of food waste (FW) continues to be a global challenge and high on the political agenda. One of the main reasons for its generation is the absence of detailed data on the amount, timing and reasons for created waste. This paper discusses the design, the application and investigates the Internet of Things (IoT) based FW monitoring system to capture waste data during manufacturing in real-

Energy Efficiency Potential of Second Homes Heated by Direct Electric Heating Located in Four Regions in Sweden

EU countries have committed to taking national measures to reduce the average energy use of residential buildings by 16% by 2030 and 20–22% by 2035. Each country has decided how to achieve this and which buildings to focus on. However, certain categories of residential buildings, including historical buildings but also second homes, may be exempt from these obligations. In Sweden, second homes con

‘Is it all right if I make a suggestion?’: permission requests in social services’ online chat counselling

In this paper, we explore permission requests to provide guidance in the specific context of social services’ online chat counselling. Asking permission to communicate information or advice as a conversational practice is commonly associated with motivational interviewing (MI), which has become increasingly popular in various social work contexts. The MI literature is ambiguous regarding how and i

Use of nanotechnology for safe agriculture and food production : Challenges and limitations

Nanotechnology offers promising perspectives for revolutionizing agriculture by enhancing productivity and sustainability. Although the global agricultural nanotechnology market was valued at US$ 352.4 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 868.9 billion by 2031, concerns about adverse environmental effects persist. This review summarizes the latest developments and perspectives of nanotech

Microplastics as carriers of antibiotic resistance genes in agricultural soils : A call for research

Plastic contamination has become a major environmental concern and impacts human health, and yet this is still a topic that remains largely understudied. Effects of macro- and microplastics on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties, including soil biota, are considered adverse for soils. Due to their small size and porous surface, microplastics can also be a new environmental concern b
