Sammanfattning Denna rapport redovisar ett tillvägagångssätt att inventera, inmäta och kartera föreslagna cykelleder åt Torsby Sportcenter samt framställa ett dokument med adressuppgifter över berörda fastighetsägare. Inventering och inmätning utfördes med en enklare GPS-mottagare. Kartan framställdes i GIS-programmet ArcMap och som bakgrundskarta användes fastighetskartan ur vilken valda lager exporterades. För en del lager slogs vissa klasser ihop till en klass för att få en fungerande kartbild. Samtliga lager gavs egna manér. För att framställa fastighetsägaruppgifterna söktes först berörda fastigheter ut i fastighetskartan. Fastighetsbeteckningarna användes sedan i programmet TekisWebb TefatTorsby för att sedan sammanställas i en fastighetsägartabell. Cykelledernas redovisning i kartan gjordes med en symbol som fanns i ArcMap. Det konstaterades att noggrannheten för GPS-mottagaren är tillräcklig för den skala som kartan redovisas i. Sökningen av fastigheter gav önskat resultat och kunde redovisas fullständigt. Däremot är sökningen av fastighetsägare inte fullständig. Cykelledernas symbolisering anses uppfylla kravet att framträda extra tydligt kartans bakgrundsinformation. Inmätningen kan förbättras om inställningen för mätning av position är inställd på den tätaste positionsbestämningen. För sammanställande av fastigheter och fastighetsägare var det mycket manuell hantering. Detta borde gå att utveckla så att sökningarna sammanställs automatiskt. Förbättring av cykelledernas visualisering kan förslagsvis göras genom att en förstorad del kring Torsby sportcenter läggs in i kartan eller att kartan redovisas i större skala och format.Abstract This report describes an approach to measure positions and map proposed bicycle trails for Torsby Sports Center, and to produce a document with the address information of affected property owners. Inventory and measurement of positions was carried out with an ordinary handheld GPS receiver. The map was produced using GIS (ArcMap) with property maps from the National Land Survey as background, from which the selected layers were exported. For some layers classes were defined into one class, in order to obtain an appropriate map design. All layers were given their own type of symbols. Property ownership data was singled out for concerned properties in the property map. Property designation was made in the program TekisWebb TefatTorsby and then imported into a property owner table. The symbol for bicycle trails in the map was obtained from the ArcMap symbol library. It was found that the accuracy of the GPS receiver is high enough in relation to the map scale. The selection of properties gave desired results and was reported complete. The selection of the property owners was, however, not complete. The bicycle trail symbols was considered to meet the requirements of being extra clearly visible on the map’s background information. Measurement of positions can be improved if the setting is set to the highest positioning accuracy. The compiling of properties and property owners involved extensive manual handling work, and it would be possible to automate that process further. Improvement of bicycle trails visualization can be done by adding a larger scale map of the local area surrounding Torsby Sports Center and include in the map, or by increasing the map scale and format.

Full textAbstract:
L’un des défis majeurs pour la conception des capsules de rentrée concerne la modélisation des transferts convectifs et radiatifs à la surface du véhicule. A certains points des trajectoires de rentrée super-orbitale, jusqu’à 40% du flux radiatif total émane du domaine spectral VUV (vacuum ultraviolet), or c’est dans ce domaine que les incertitudes sont les plus fortes. Ce haut niveau d’incertitudes est dû en particulier à un manque de données expérimentales fiables. Le rayonnement VUV est en effet difficile à mesurer en raison de la forte absorption de l’air et des optiques utilisées pour sa mesure. Des difficultés d’analyse supplémentaires sont causées par le fort degré d’auto-absorption et par l’élargissement spectral des raies dans le VUV. L’objectif central de cette étude était d’obtenir des spectres d’émission expérimentaux calibrés dans le VUV afin d’étudier les processus physico-chimiques dans la couche de choc qui contrôlent le flux radiatif. Plus précisément, les objectifs étaient de comparer les spectres observés parallèlement et perpendiculairement à la couche de choc, d’étudier les effets sur l’intensité des raies spectrales émises dans le VUV de l’auto-absorption et de l’élargissement spectral en fonction de la profondeur de champ radiatif (épaisseur optique). Les mesures effectuées perpendiculairement et parallèlement à la surface d’une maquette placée dans l’écoulement représentent un premier jeu de données expérimentales calibrées dans le VUV qui seront utiles pour valider les codes de calcul destinés à prédire le flux radiatif incident. Les mesures obtenues pour différentes profondeurs de champ radiatif représentent quant à elles un ensemble de données expérimentales uniques pour la validation des modèles de transport radiatif et des coefficients d’élargissement des raies. Cette étude s’appuie également sur des simulations numériques afin d’évaluer les prédictions d’un solveur d’écoulement couplé à deux schémas cinétiques à travers la comparaison des spectres mesurés avec les spectres simulés par le code radiatif Specair. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, un banc optique a été conçu et mis en place pour mesurer l’intensité du rayonnement VUV produit autour d’une maquette bidimensionnelle émoussée, avec une résolution spatiale suffisante pour résoudre le profil d’émission dans la couche de choc. La résolution spatiale a été choisie de façon à pouvoir effectuer des mesures du rayonnement dans les zones d’équilibre et hors équilibre de la couche de choc. Un deuxième système a été conçu pour obtenir des mesures du rayonnement VUV incident sur la surface de la maquette. Ce système est constitué d’un hublot placé sur la surface de la maquette et d’un miroir logé à l’intérieur de la maquette pour transmettre le rayonnement vers le système de détection. La profondeur du champ radiatif peut être variée en modifiant la longueur de la maquette, ce qui change l’épaisseur de la couche de choc observée. Le tunnel à détente X2 a été utilisé pour créer les écoulements à haute enthalpie nécessaires pour produire les couches de choc émissives. Deux conditions d’écoulement ont été générées pour cette étude de façon à reproduire des vitesses équivalentes de vol de 10 et 12.2 km/s. Le système spectroscopique utilisé pour ces études comprend un spectromètre McPherson NOVA 225 sous vide couplé à une caméra ICCD Andor iStar de réponse renforcée dans le VUV. Un tube optique scellé par une fenêtre en fluorine a été installé pour prolonger le trajet optique sous vide jusqu’à la maquette de façon à éliminer l’absorption par l’oxygène moléculaire. Le système spectroscopique a été calibré in situ avec une lampe à deutérium placée à l’endroit de la couche de choc rayonnante. L’intensité spectrale incidente sur la surface de la maquette, intégrée entre 115 et 180 nm, est de 0,744 W/cm²sr pour une vitesse d’écoulement de 10 km/s et 12,3 W/cm²sr à 12.2 km/s. [...]A major design challenge for re-entry capsules lies in the modelling of convective and radiative heat transfer to the surface of the vehicle. At certain points on superorbital re-entry trajectories, up to 40% of the total radiative heat flux is contributed by the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) spectral range and it is in this spectral range that the largest uncertainties lie. The high level of uncertainty in the VUV is a result of a lack of published experimental data due to difficulties encountered in measuring radiation in the VUV, such as strong absorption by most optical materials and air. Additional complexities of the VUV spectral range include its strongly self-absorbing nature and spectral line broadening. The primary goal of this study was to obtain calibrated spectral measurements in the VUV that enable the investigation of physical processes occurring in the shock layer that influence the incident radiative heat flux. In particular, the issues to be investigated were the variation in spectral radiance observed across a shock layer compared to the spectral radiance measured through the surface, the effects of self-absorption on spectral line intensity and the broadening of spectral lines in the VUV as a function of depth of radiating flow field. The measurements made across and through the surface of a model provide the first set of calibrated experimental results for the validation of computational codes used to predict incident radiative heat flux. Measurements made with a varying depth of radiating flow field provide a unique set of experimental data for the validation of radiation transport models and broadening coefficients. This study also used computational simulations to investigate the accuracy of a flow field solver coupled with two reaction rate schemes and compared the spectra produced using Specair with experimentally measured values. To achieve these goals, an optical system was designed to measure the VUV radiative emission produced around a blunt two-dimensional model in a spatially resolved manner across the shock layer. Spatial resolution allowed for spectral measurements to be made in both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium parts of the shock layer. A second optical system was designed to obtain measurements of VUV radiation incident on the surface of the model. This system incorporated a window in the surface with a mirror housed within the model to deflect the radiation out of the test section and into the detection system. To effectively vary the depth of the radiating flow field, the length of a two-dimensional model was varied, changing the depth of the shock layer being observed. The X2 expansion tube was used to create the high enthalpy flows required to produce radiating shock layers. Two flow conditions were created for this study that represented flight equivalent velocities of 10.0 km/s and 12.2 km/s. The spectroscopy system utilized for this study consisted of an evacuated McPherson NOVA 225 spectrometer coupled to an Andor iStar VUV enhanced intensified charge coupled device. An evacuated light tube sealed with a magnesium fluoride window was required to extend the evacuated light path to the model and avoid any absorption by molecular oxygen. An in-situ calibration of the VUV spectroscopy system was conducted using a deuterium lamp located in the position of the radiating shock layer. The integrated incident spectral radiance measured through the surface of the model between 115 nm and 180 nm was 0.744 W/cm2 sr for the 10.0 km/s condition and 12.3 W/cm2sr for the faster 12.2km/s condition.

Det här examensarbetet är utfört på uppdrag av Kungälv Energi AB. Syftet med arbetet är att upprätta en nätplan för området M4 Torsby som kan användas som underlag till investeringar. Nätplanen innehåller en geografisk beskrivning som ger en överblick av markförhållanden, en tillståndskontroll av nätet vid normal- samt reservdrift, kontroll av nätets prestanda vid framtida lastökning samt åtgärdsförslag. M4 Torsby är ett landsbygdsnät bestående av fem linjer som matar totalt 1949 kunder. Beräkningar som utförts i Kungälv Energis beräkningsprogram dpPower visar att på linje L403 finns det en Cu 10 friledning som är överbelastad vid normaldrift. I nätet finns även överbelastade transformatorer. Reservdrift i området kan hanteras på alla linjer förutom på linje L401 vid det specifikt valda beräkningsfallet. Undersökning av nätets framtida prestanda har beräknats enligt Kungälv Energis och Kungälv Kommuns planer för området. Även extra last har adderats för att få en högre belastningsökning än de redan planerade. Resultaten visar att nätet klarar denna belastningsökning i normal- och reservdrift förutom då K406 reservmatar stor del av L401. En ACJJ50 kabel i Kärna centrum överbelastas. Arbetet resulterade i åtgärdsförslag för transformatorer samt placering av nya frånskiljare för bättre sektionering av nätet. Även ett åtgärdsförslag på den ACJJ50 kabel som kan bli överbelastad vid framtida reservdrift har framställts.This thesis is made on behalf of Kungälv Energi AB. The purpose of the thesis is to establish a network plan for the area M4 Torsby that can be used as a foundation for reconstruction and investments in the area. The network plan contains a geographical description that provides an overview of the area including ground conditions and nature reserves. It also procures condition monitoring of the power network to detect its strengths and weaknesses in normal and reserve operation. To detect if the network can handle future loads a simulated scenario has been made. M4 Torsby consists of five lines which supply 1949 customers. Calculations show that a specific part of line L403 and some transformers around the area are overloaded during normal operation. The area can be alternately supplied. Calculations on the simulated future show that the network can handle future loads in both normal and reserve operation if the overloaded part of L403 is upgraded.

Full textAbstract:
DYT1 dystonia (DYT1) is a disabling inherited neurological disorder with juvenile onset. The genetic mutation in DYT1 leads to the deletion of a glutamic acid (E) residue in the protein torsinA. The function of torsinA and how the mutation leads to DYT1 is poorly understood. We hypothesize that how efficiently the disease-linked mutant protein is cleared may be critical for DYT1 pathogenesis. Therefore we explored mechanisms of torsinA catabolism, employing biochemical, cellular, and animal-based approaches. We asked if torsinA(wt) and torsinA(DE) are degraded preferentially through different catabolic mechanisms, specifically the ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP) and autophagy. We determined that torsinA(wt) is cleared by autophagy while torsinA(DE) is efficiently degraded by the UPP suggesting degradation processes can modulate torsinA(DE) levels. Proteins implicated in recognizing motifs on torsinA(DE) for targeting to the UPP represent candidate proteins that may modify DYT1 pathogenesis. We examined how removal of the hydrophobic domain and mutation of glycosylated asparagine residues on torsinA altered stability and catabolic mechanism. We found the glycosylation sites on torsinA are important for stability modulate its degradation through the UPP. F-box G-domain protein 1 (FBG1) has been implicated in degradation of glycosylated ER proteins. We hypothesized that FBG1 would promote torsinA degradation and demonstrated that FBG1 modulates levels of torsinA in a non-canonical manner through the UPP and autophagy. We examined if lack of FBG1 in a torsinA(DE) mouse model altered motor phenotypes. We saw no effect which suggests FBG1 does not alter DYT1 pathogenesis despite its promotion of torsinA(DE) degradation. In addition, we explored a potential mechanism for the previously described role of torsinA in modulating cytoplasmic protein aggregation. We hypothesized this endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein would indirectly alter cytoplasmic protein aggregation through modulation of ER stress. We employed a poly-glutamine expanded repeat protein and pharmacological ER stressors to determine that torsinA does not alter poly-glutamine protein aggregation nor ER stress in a mammalian system. In summary, this thesis suggests proteins involved in the catabolism of torsinA(DE) may modify DYT1 pathogenesis and that torsinA and its DYT1-linked mutant are model proteins for investigating ER protein degradation by the UPP and autophagy.

Full textAbstract:
La mise en œuvre de missions spatiales demande à développer de nombreuses technologies clés afin de surmonter certaines étapes cruciales. L’une d’entre elle concerne la rentrée atmosphérique : lorsque le véhicule pénètre dans la couche d’atmosphère, sa vitesse relative très grande par rapport au sol va engendrer des frottements importants ainsi qu’une augmentation de pression. L’énergie cinétique de l’objet va donc être transformée en énergie thermique et chauffer le gaz en formant une onde de choc. Les températures dépendent de la vitesse initiale, de la composition de l’atmosphère et de sa pression. Le gaz ainsi chauffé va s’ioniser et devenir un plasma, il va donc transférer sa chaleur au corps de la sonde non seulement par convection mais aussi par rayonnement. Afin de se protéger, le véhicule dispose d’un bouclier thermique pouvant résister aux phénomènes extrêmes rencontrés lors de la descente. Les contraintes supplémentaires vont imposer une géométrie particulière et un lourd bouclier. Ainsi l’objectif est d’avoir les protections les plus légères et efficaces possibles afin de permettre à la sonde de maximiser son emport en équipement scientifique. Pour cela, un des paramètres clés est de connaître le comportement et le rayonnement du plasma produit lors de la rentrée dans l’atmosphère. Cette thèse se positionne dans ce domaine d’étude: les expériences montées et réalisées ont pour objectif d’observer par moyens spectroscopiques un plasma correspondant à celui rencontré par les sondes spatialesMany key technologies, to overcome some crucial steps, are needed for space missions. One of them concerns the re-entry: when the vehicle enters the atmosphere layer, its high velocity relative to the ground will generate significant friction and an increase in pressure. The kinetic energy of the object will be converted into heat energy and heat the gas forming a shock wave. Temperatures depend on the initial velocity, the atmosphere composition and its pressure. The gas is ionized and become plasma, it will therefore transfer its heat to the body of the probe not only by convection but also by radiation. To protect itself, the vehicle has a heat shield that can withstand extreme phenomena encountered during the descent. Additional constraints will impose a particular geometry and a heavy shield. So the goal is to have the lightest possible and effective protections to allow the probe to maximize its payload. For this, one of the key parameters is to know the behavior of the plasma and radiation produced during re-entry into the atmosphere. This thesis is positioned in this area of study: experiments to create a re-entry plasma are intended to be observed by a spectrometer

S/he moves freely across filling the gaps in her/his identity created by her/his cross-cultural background. The novel examines life on the fringe of contemporary Australian society. The Torch Collector's position appears to be voluntary, defined by his/her relationship to the torches. This vital relationship prevents the protagonist from fully engaging in conventional life. It is also a story of Sydney. A city which hides its cross-cultural spirituality underneath a highly urban and technological facade.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le contexte actuel de réchauffement climatique et d'épuisement des ressources énergétiques fossiles conventionnelles, la production d'énergie à partir de combustibles renouvelables (biomasse et déchets) présente un intérêt croissant. Cependant les brûleurs industriels conventionnels sont mal ou pas adaptés pour la valorisation énergétique de combustibles pauvres qui sont pourtant peu couteux et largement disponibles. Les électro-brûleurs, basés sur une assistance à la combustion par plasma thermique, sont alors une solution pour ce type de combustible. Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif le développement d'une torche à plasma triphasée d'une puissance de 100 kW, fonctionnant à l'air et facilement intégrable dans un électro-brûleur industriel. Le premier challenge consiste à rendre possible le fonctionnement à l'air en réduisant autant que possible l'érosion à l'air des électrodes en graphite. Pour cela, des solutions de gainage des électrodes à l'azote ou au méthane, de contrôle aérodynamique de l'écoulement de l'air et d'injection de particules de carbone ont été étudiées. Le deuxième challenge est l'optimisation des transferts de masse et de chaleur, ce qui a été réalisé en améliorant l'écoulement du gaz plasmagène et en choisissant les matériaux adéquats pour l'isolation thermique. Une double approche théorique et expérimentale a été adoptée. Au niveau théorique, un modèle d'écoulement turbulent de plasma a été développé avec une modélisation de l'arc électrique par une source stationnaire de chaleur et de quantité de mouvement. Un modèle de rayonnement à bandes du plasma ainsi qu'un modèle de cinétique chimique ont été intégrés. Les résultats de la simulation montrent le rôle important du rayonnement, la limitation du gainage à l'azote et le potentiel intéressant du gainage au méthane. La simulation a permis aussi de valider le design de la nouvelle torche avant les essais. Au niveau expérimental, une nouvelle conception de torche a été proposée et testée. Les essais réalisés montrent que la protection des électrodes par injection de particules de carbone ne suffit pas pour créer une atmosphère neutre autour des électrodes mais que le contrôle aérodynamique de l'écoulement de l'air permet un meilleur contrôle de l'érosion des électrodes. Des essais préliminaires de combustion assistée par plasma de biomasse solides ont été ensuite réalisés et analysésEnergy production from renewable combustibles like biomass and organic wastes presents an increasing interest with the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of conventional fossil energy resources. Meanwhile, standard industrial burners are not adequate for the energetic valorization of renewable poor LHV combustibles despite their low price and their abundance in nature. Electro-burners, with plasma assisted combustion technology, are a promising solution for this type of combustible. In this PhD dissertation is detailed the development of a 100 kW plasma torch working in air and embeddable in an industrial electro-burner. It consists firstly, in making possible an operation in oxidizing environment by reducing as much as possible the air erosion of the graphite electrodes. For this purpose, multiple solutions are tested such as sheathing with nitrogen and methane, aerodynamic control of air flow and injection of carbon black particles. The second challenge is the optimization of heat and mass transfers by improving the plasma flow and by choosing the appropriate materials for thermal insulation. Theoretically, a turbulent model of plasma flow is developed with the modeling of the electric arc column as a stationary source of heat and momentum. A multi-band radiation model and a reactional kinetic model are also integrated. The results show the important role of radiation, the limitation of the nitrogen sheathing and the potential of methane injection in reducing electrode erosion. They allowed also validating the design of the plasma torch before the tests. Experimentally, the new torch design is built and tested. It comes out that reducing the electrode erosion by carbon powder injection is not efficient to achieve a neutral environment around the electrodes whereas a control of the nearby air flow appears to be beneficial. Finally, tests of plasma assisted combustion of some biomasses are performed and analyzed

In this investigation, daily lessons, assignments, labs, lectures, and assessments were differentiated with regard to both gender and learning style preference to determine the effect on student in-class performance and classroom dynamics. Males and females were shown to prefer different learning modalities and in-class performance varied with the differentiation technique employed. Students who showed an equal preference for more than one learning style consistently out preformed their peers who only preferred one modality. Additionally, a subpopulation of students was identified based on their learning style preferences. Interestingly, these kinesthetic learners skewed the data and a kinesthetic trend was noted. Kinesthetic male learners on individualized education plans (IEPs) were also found to be underserved in the traditional classroom. Female intrapersonal learners and male kinesthetic learners were found to be at odds throughout the study. Overall, this investigation revealed little difference between the genders with regard to classroom dynamics and class appeal. In general, classroom dynamics and class appeal were improved as a result of the differentiation.

Fantuzzo, Christopher J. "Torah in servant-form : Torah, servant, and disciples in the Book of Isaiah." Thesis, University of Gloucestershire, 2012. http://eprints.glos.ac.uk/2401/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the concept of torah in final-Isaiah (FI) towards a construal of the intentio operis, understood as the model author’s aim to produce model readers who are servant-disciples (Isa 54:13, 17). It develops with attention to the contribution of Marvin A. Sweeney, and asks whether the prophetic book subserves Ezra’s reforms or has a separate program for the restoration and reform of Judah and Jerusalem. To surmise the intentio operis, linguistic, literary, and rhetorical approaches are used as appropriate to a holistic theological reading of the received text. Research focuses on passages where the term hrwt appears; its range of meaning is assessed within the broader lexical and conceptual framework of FI, and associated terms, concepts, and images are handled within properly defined units as parts within the larger whole. The investigation observes profound intra-textual connections signaling a bond between prophet and disciples, and a solidarity connecting the servant, herald, and servants, concluding that the conception and use of hrwt in FI is inextricably bound to servant-discipleship and the correlative theme of righteous-suffering. Though hrwt never has a technically precise sense in FI, it has legal, didactic, and sapiential connotations (analogous to the deuteronomic model of catechesis) and refers primarily to the words and acts of Isaiah and YHWH’s servant. Since hrwt does not refer to the giving or interpretation of a fixed (external) corpus, but corresponds to the Mosaic model, it is illegitimate to reduce/restrict FI to propaganda literature for Ezra’s Mosaic Torah-oriented reform measures. Instead, FI urges the community taught by God to accept God’s purpose and adopt God’s ways according to a distinct Isaianic ‘logic’. Independent of Ezra’s reforms and without subordination to Mosaic Torah (or wisdom torah), FI is a prophetic guide for life suitable for interpreting Israel’s traditions, fashioning its communal identity, and defining its vocation in the world. As torah in servant-form, FI summons and shapes disciples who humbly seek YHWH, abandon evil ways, and serve God in the hope of hastening the fulfillment of its programmatic vision for a day marked by international peace and cosmic order.

Full textAbstract:
Ordet attraktiv stad används dagligen, men själva begreppet är komplex och svårdefinierat. Å ena sidan den är stark kopplad till individens egen uppfattning och åt andra sidan rymmer den många olika faktorer. Utifrån litteratur som studerades så framkom det att ett fysiskt rum i detta fall en attraktiv stad är svår att planera om inte begreppet fastställs. Det finns många teoretiker som har försökt förklara begreppet och rymma in alla faktorer under en och samma definition. Trots detta allomfattande forskningen finns det idag ingen fastställd teori eller konkret definition på vad som utgör en attraktiv stad, varken i den nyare eller äldre litteratur.I examensarbetet undersöks begreppet attraktiv stad/ attraktiv småstad. Detta gjordes med hjälp av fyra teoretiker. De teoretiker som valdes är Gehl, Arnstberg och Bergström, Andersson. Dessa teoretiker har studerats, deras synpunkter har analyserats för att se hur kan man påverka fysisk planering med hjälp av olika faktorer. Det visade sig att teoretikerna har olika synpunkter om hur man bör hantera dessa faktorer, samt olika exempel gavs med vilka medel kan man åstadkomma en attraktiv stad.De valda teorierna har applicerats på en illustrationsplan som visar hur kan man göra en småstad attraktiv, i detta fall valdes Torsås som den mest lämpligaste område. Torsås valdes pga den stora utglesningen, människorörelsen i kommunen och saknad attraktivitet i centrumområdet. Dessutom saknar Torsås flera av faktorer som förespråkades av teoretikerna på hur en attraktiv stad skulle se ut. Teorierna har brutits ner och applicerats på det valda området och resulterat i en illustrationsplan för hur centrumområdet kan utvecklas till en del av en attraktiv småstad.

Full textAbstract:
The erosion of copper electrodes in a concentric cylinder geometry with magnetically driven arcs was studied at steady state for currents up to 250 A in a variety of gases and gas mixtures, magnetic field strengths and gas flow rates. The effects of arc velocity, gas composition, current density and heat transfer to the cathode on erosion rates were examined.The arc velocity varied with the magnetic field strength and arc current accordingly to a newly developed equation, V $ alpha$ B$ sp{0.60}$ I$ sp{0.56}$, when the cathode surface was slightly contaminated with C, Cl, O or N. The composition of the surfaces was found using Auger and ESCA spectroscopy. A surface drag force, a new force opposing to the arc motion was proposed. In the case of clean and heavily contaminated surfaces (contaminant layers thicker than 10 microns), the surface drag becomes the major force opposing the arc movement. Work function measurements showed that surface drag increased as electron emission became more difficult.
A novel technique was developed to determine the current distribution of the arc foot on the electrodes. A correlation between the arc foot current density and erosion rate was proposed. The effects of the surface composition, magnetic field and arc velocity on the arc current distribution were also examined.
A conceptual model was developed for electrode erosion; the model was supported by experimental results and by the results of simulations using macroscopic and microscopic heat transfer models.

Full textAbstract:
Miguel Torga (1907-1995) is a well established poet, novelist and dramatist in Portuguese literature. However, the present study demonstrates that Miguel Torga should be also considered as a major travel writer of the twentieth century, following the influences he had received from the early period of Portuguese Travel Literature, Modernism, Neo-Realism and Postmodernism in the European context. The classification of Torga as a travel writer is supported by a thoroughgoing analysis of his most representative works, such as the 'Künstlerroman' and the novel of Formation (Bildungsroman) 'The Creation of the World', the Guidebook 'Portugal', the autobiographical 'Diario, Traqo de Uniao' and the picaresque novel 'O Senhor Ventura'. By adopting a comparative study between Portuguese and Anglo-Saxon Travel Literature, this study also presents the argument that Miguel Torga is an international travel writer. Like other Anglo-Saxon travel writers mainly in the inter-war years, Torga is concerned with social and political issues. In the Portuguese setting, a similar attention to the social aspect of the journey is also reinforced in the works of Vergilio Ferreira, 'Manhã Submersa' and 'Vagão 'J'. Finally, Torga's writing proves that the Portuguese Travel Literature does not end in the late nineteenth century, but this genre survived and prospered also in the twentieth century due to innovative narrative structures and themes.

Oicherman, Ekaterina. "Binding autobiographies : Torah binders revisited." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2014. http://research.gold.ac.uk/10613/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis investigates contemporary textile practice and its links to traditional forms of textile art. It focuses on the 19th century German circumcision binders (“Jewishing cloths”), ceremonial Torah scroll wrappings, which documented male births. The case study examines images on the seams of a 1836 binder, showing that the seams acted as a transitional territory, where the embroiderer consciously played around with traditional images, transposing the concern with birth and fertility into a concern with a cultural identity formation during the Jewish emancipation in Germany. The contemporary museal staging of the binder is criticised as a nostalgic vision of Judaism, refusing to recognize the binder's contemporaneous position, ignoring its singularity as a contradictory repository of modern Jewish identity hi/stories. On this critique the practical part of the thesis is based, developing as an appropriation or a “re-actualisation” of a traditional textile format in the contemporary textile practice. Such “re-actualisation” is positioned in the relevant textile art context and reflected through my textile practice and an “autobiographical” account of it. Through its practice-based and written components the thesis reflects upon and makes way for creation of works, where my autobiographical female stories of Jewishness in Israel are staged as a fictional binder. The shifting position of cloth in between the historical and the contemporary accounts, in between autobiography, practice and research, is addressed through the concept of subjectile by J. Derrida. The practice investigated “hands on” the particularities of the 1836 binder, exploring its letters, images, materials and techniques, appropriating and reshaping them. This practical exploration modified the research, shifting its emphasis towards the embodied and performative reading of the binder and related rituals. The thesis proposes a general design for a research-based practice. Alongside its contribution to the history of Jewish textiles and contemporary textile practice, it unfolds interrelated “biographies” of research and textile practice.

Syftet med studien var att genom en litteraturstudie undersöka cigarettröknings påverkan på torra ögon och ögats främre delar. Har cigarettrökning en negativ inverkan på parametrarna för torra ögon? Litteraturstudien genomfördes utifrån sökningar via Web of Science och Pubmed på tidigare kliniska studier och vetenskapliga publikationer. Sökningarna utfördes mellan 2021-03-18 och 2021-03-26. För att specificera sökresultaten skulle artiklarna finnas i fulltext och vara publicerade från år 2016-2021. Sökorden som tillämpades var ”dry eye and smoking” och ”dry eye + smoking”. Studier med färre än 50 deltagare och litteraturstudier/reviews exkluderades. De fem mest relevanta artiklarna utifrån sökresultaten valdes ut för att ingå i studien. Totalt deltog 2692 personer i studierna. Mängden cigarettrökning varierade mellan studierna. Frågeformulären som utfördes var Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) och Mcmonnies Dry Eye Questionnaire (MDEQ), dessa visade en statistisk signifikant skillnad på symptompoäng mellan rökare och icke-rökare i två av fem studier. Det sågs en statistisk signifikant skillnad i Tear Break Up Time (TBUT) mellan testgrupperna i tre av fem studier. Studien visar att cigarettrökning påverkar torra ögon, torra ögonsymptom, ögats främre delar och meibomska körtlarna negativt. Dock ses stora variationer i vad som påverkas inom olika grupper, vilket gör det svårt att fastställa exakt vilken påverkan cigarettrökning har på torra ögon. Fler studier med fler deltagare, ett bestämt antal cigaretter per dag under en bestämd period samt tydliga riktlinjer för utvärdering av DED behövs för att fastställa cigarettröknings påverkan på torra ögon.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis takes a different approach to the contested topic of Jesus and the Torah in Matthew's Gospel. Rather than asking whether or not Jesus' radical teaching on the Torah (Matt 5:17-48) affirms the validity of the Torah, surpasses it, or if it situates the Matthean community within or outside the bounds of Judaism, this thesis examines the Matthean Jesus' radical teaching as an example of first-century Torah interpretation. Specifically, it examines Second Temple writing strategies used to present interpretations as an authoritative representation of the Torah and compares them with the way Matthew authorises Jesus' teaching on the Torah. This comparison shows that Matthew uses inherited writing strategies to participate in the Second Temple and late first-century Jewish phenomenon of innovating the Torah to meet the needs of a specific context. Chapter 1 examines the phenomenon of Torah interpretation in the Second Temple period, both the contexts that caused it and the logic behind it. Chapter 2 analyses Matthew's Gospel to see if it exhibits a similar context and logic as other Second Temple texts that interpret the Torah. Chapter 3 then uses Hindy Najman's concept of Mosaic Discourse as a lens to observe the writing strategies Matthew uses to present Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount as an authoritative representation of Sinaitic Revelation. Chapter 4 then considers how the genre of biography was used to legitimise a historical figure in a polemical context. Chapter 5 then examines how Matthew similarly used the opportunities of biographical writing to legitimise Jesus as an authority on the Torah in a polemical context and, therefore, authorise his teaching on the Torah as the correct way to follow God's commandments.

This essay discusses the import of cod (Gadus morhua) in Sweden during the Middle Ages through isotope analysis of cod vertebrae. The isotope analysis is used to trace the cods origin to either the Baltic Sea or the Atlantic Ocean. The bones were subjected to d13C, d15N and d34S analysis; 64 of the analyzed bones met the quality criteria. The isotop data showed that import of Atlantic cod was significant in medeval Sweden. The analysis suggests that there is no specific time or event that the sites start to import cod but this varies from site to site.

Full textAbstract:
The molecular chaperone Hspl04, in conjunction with two other chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp40, provides the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the necessary machinery to ensure that aggregated proteins that form in stressed cells can be remodelled back to a correctly folded and functio nal form. Hspl04 also plays an essential role in non-stressed cells in the propagation of yeast prions such as [PSt1, the prion form of the translation termination factor Sup3S. To date no functional mammalian orthologues of Hspl04 have been described although TorsinA, a 37 kOa ER located protein shows some degree of amino acid identity to Hspl04 predominantly through its conserved AAA+ ATPase domain. Earlier studies in mammalian cells had suggested that TorsinA may share more than sequence similarity with Hspl04 and function as a chaperone although this activity had not been formally demonstrated in vivo. This thesis describes a study of the chaperone function of mammalian TorsinA expressed in yeast. TorsinA was shown to partially rescue the ability of cells lacking Hspl04, to refold-heat denatured luciferase. This putative protein disaggregation function was impaired by mutations in the single ATPase domain of TorsinA and inhibited in cells grown in the presence of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCI), an inhibitor of the ATP-dependent function of Hspl04. These findings are consistent with Torsin A acting as an ATP-driven chaperone. However, mutating t he non-canonical Walker A motif of Torsin A nucleotide binding domain into a canonical sequence did not affect the ability of Torsin A to reactivate misfolded luciferase. Several variants of the [PSf1 prion were identified that were destabilised in cells exp ressing TorsinA, and when endogenous Hspl04 levels were elevated. Constitutive expression of Torsin A also protected yeast cells against various forms of stress in absence of Hspl04 demonstrating that TorsinA recapitulates a number of the important chaperone-related properties of Hspl04. A glutamic acid deletion in the (-terminus of Torsin A (associated with a movement disorder called torsion dystonia) reduced the ability of Torsin A to protect cells against stress and to eliminate [PSt] variants but did not affect its ability to reactivate heat-denatured luciferase. Torsin B belongs to the same gene family and shares a high sequence similarity (89.4% similarity) with TOrsin A but the chaperone function of Torsin B had not been established. Consequently its possible chaperone function was examined in yeast but was found not to protect cells against stress or protein aggregation and was not able to eliminate [PSf] but it inh ibited the growth of both yeast and mammalian cells. The ER targeting signal sequence ofTorsin A was recognized in yeast since a significant proportion of Torsin A was detected in the ER. Mutations in Torsin A that would be expected to impair ATP binding and hydrolysis did not affect its localisation although deletion of the N-terminal ER signal sequence resulted in its accumulation in the cytoplasm. 6N Torsin A mutant maintained the protective functions in yeast but exhibited reduced chaperone abilities. Under heat shock conditions Torsin A was translocated to the cytoplasm where it could process substrates, such as luciferase. Identification of a mammalian orthologue of Hspl04 is important for developing therapeutic strategies for protein aggregation-related disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, and improving recombinant protein production. The data in this thesis paint to Torsin A as a potential target.

Early-onset dystonia (EOTD, also known as DYT1 or Oppenheim’s dystonia is the most severe and common form of hereditary dystonia, a neurological disorder characterized by abnormalities in the control of movement. It is linked to the deletion of a single GAG codon in the gene DYT1 that leads to the loss of a single glutamic acid residue in the C-terminal region of the protein torsinA (ΔE-torsinA). It is not known how the GAG deletion alters the torsinA structure and function. In this thesis, the expression and purification of recombinant torsinA variants from E. coli is reported. Wild type torsinA is not soluble after its expression in E. coli, possibly due to misfolding caused by cysteine. We produced Cys-less torsinA, and established a purification procedure to produce this mutant torsinA. Furthermore, because of the critical role likely to be played by the C-terminal domain of torsinA that contains the glutamate deletion, we produced fragments encoding the C-terminal domain of torsinA, and attempted to purify it. However, we failed to obtain appreciable amount of active proteins by both of the strategies. A novel SUMO fusion technology was also used in this study. We demonstrated that SUMO, when fused with torsinA variants, was able to enhance its expression and solubility in E. coli. A satisfactory yield of the fusion protein was successfully purified. Once we get appreciable quantities of folded torsinA variants, it is our future goal to study their function by using biochemical and high-resolution structural approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Crises can affect organizations as well as individuals and in today's digitized society news about such events is easily shared. Therefore crisis management becomes important. This study aims to examine how the Swedish entrepreneur Paolo Roberto acted after being arrested for buying sex. To do this eight of Robertos statements will be analyzed. The theoretical framework is based on public apologies, Benoit's image repair theory, and Goffman's theory of impression management. The method used for the study is a combined qualitative text analysis and critical rhetorical analysis. The results show that Roberto apologized only in one of his statements. It also becomes clear that he used five of the 14 image repair strategies, of which the most frequently used are mortification and provocation. He admits to the incident but does not express that he committed a crime, but that he committed a mistake. The results also imply that Roberto presents himself as a victim in the situation by focusing on his own feelings in his statements and not on prostitution or the victim.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of Protestant mission in the nineteenth century raised questions about the role of culture in appropriating the Christian gospel, questions that remain to this day. As the Bible was translated, and as congregations formalised their understanding of the faith, the hermeneutical problem of the gap between biblical and modern cultures expanded to include a third culture, that of the non-Western local church. Be- tween translation and theology lies the task of interpreting the Bible, where the same issues apply. This project seeks to provide an account of the Bible as a hermeneutical object that provides both for a constant identity, namely the gospel of God’s saving action in Christ, and for its varied appropriation in local contexts. Since the project is non-foundationalist, this is developed not in the abstract, but in conversation with a particular Protestant Christian tradition, as expressed in Kevin Vanhoozer’s theo- dramatic account of Scripture, and a particular traditional culture, that of the Toraja in the highlands of South Sulawesi, whose local Protestant church was begun by a Dutch mission just over a hundred years ago. Contextual interpretation has received little attention until recently because of the modernist assumption that exegesis is objective, with application a further step of appropriation. The obvious problem with this is that the issues of greatest priority — remembering that the cognitive capacity of any culture is nite—are not necessarily the same between di erent contexts. More subtly, di erent styles of cognition a ect how the Bible is understood, and di erent values a ect how it is lived out. Exegesis that makes sense of a passage for the Western reader does not necessarily work in another context. The project broadly follows a pattern of observation and analysis in Parts I-II, followed by theory (Part III) and application (Part IV). Observation and analysis concerns both culture and the Bible. For culture, the goal is to understand relevant differences between the West and Toraja. The key distinction that develops is between sincerity and ritual cultures or orientations. This is connected with orality, individualism and re- lationalism, honour-shame, differences in cognition between North Americans and East Asians, and ritual theory. It is given historical and phenomenological depth in Charles Taylor’s account of secularisation. The differences raised by these frameworks are illustrated from anthropological research in Toraja and similar areas. The significance of these differences for Westerners bringing the gospel in a genuinely local way to an oral ritual culture is analysed through a detailed examination of A. Kruyt’s reflections on ministry in Poso (just north of Toraja in Central Sulawesi). The key points that emerge for our purposes are summarised in the concept of the Protestant Semiotic ideology, which connected meaning and agency for Kruyt in a way that obscured the gospel for the Poso. Part III provides an alternative account of the Bible to that which emerges from the Protestant Semiotic ideology. We adapt a Christocentric pragmatic realist account of theological language to our purposes, including giving an account of non-discursive theological representations. A dialogue between Hans-Georg Gadamer and Kevin Vanhoozer’s theo-dramatic account of the Bible provides an account of the Bible in a ritual culture as mythos and ethos. This provides a stable identity for the Bible in the mythos, and appropriate exibility of use with respect to the ethos. Part IV applies and operationalises this account with respect to the letter to the Hebrews. The relating of mythos and ethos in the text is operationalised through an appropriation of thick description. This is applied using local Toraja leadership structures as local metaphors for Christ’s divine sonship and high priesthood, and local honour-shame and ecological harmony ethical systems drawn from Toraja rituals. Having suggested these as appropriate prejudgments for understanding Hebrews within a Toraja context, an interpretation of the letter is offered. This points the way to what a genuinely local appropriation of the letter might look like. This project therefore establishes the possibility of local interpretation by tracing a path towards a plausible example. The missiological importance of doing so is demonstrated, and an alternative to the Protestant Semiotic ideology is offered which preserves a realist understanding of theological truth while allowing for genuine contextual appropriation. It turns out that Hebrews witnesses to Jesus the Community Founder, who provides for the community of those who join with him, and whose sacrifice promises a harmony encompassing God, the community, and the world to come.

Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att undersöka patienters upplevelser av att ha torra ögon. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med en induktiv ansats. Databearbetningen genomfördes med hjälp av en manifest innehållsanalys. Följande kategorier framkom: fysisk påverkan, begränsningar, att bli tagen på allvar, utvecklat ett förhållningssätt till sin situation samt stöd och social gemenskap. Patienter med torra ögon upplever att de påverkas fysiskt genom att ögonen till exempel skaver, kliar och smärtar. Vissa miljöer och aktiviteter påverkar symtomen i negativ riktning. Patienterna påverkas i sin vardag på så sätt att de har svårigheter att se på tv, att köra bil under längre tid eller att läsa. Vissa miljöer kan vara ansträngande att arbeta i. Bemötande och information från ögonsjukvården upplevs ibland som bristfällig. Patienterna verkar ändå acceptera sin situation, prövar sig fram och försöker hitta lösningar. Att kunna träffa och diskutera sin situation och sina behandlingar kring torra ögon med andra patienter i samma situation upplevs som positivt, då detta bidrar till social gemenskap och utveckling av egenvården. Ökad förståelse för hur patienter med torra ögon påverkas och upplever sin situation är viktigt för att kunna tillgodose patienternas egenvårdsbehov och för att ge sjukvårdspersonal evidensbaserad kunskap. Mer forskning, såväl flera som mer omfattande studier behövs för att öka kunskapen om patienter med torra ögon.Dry eyes are due to a tear film defect, give symptoms such as chafing, eye irritation and blurred vision. The symptoms may be caused by, diseases, medication side effects or environmental factors. The aim of this pilot study was to examine patients ' experiences of having dry eyes. The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study with an inductive approach. Data processing was performed using a manifest content analysis. The following categories emerged; physical impact, limitations, to be taken seriously, developed an approach to his/her situation, and support and social community. Patients with dry eyes feel they are physically affected by chafing, itching and pain. Some environments and activities affect the symptoms in a negative direction. The patients are affected in daily life, such as difficulties watching television, to drive a car for longer periods of time, or to read. The personal treatment and information from staff in an eye department are sometimes seen as failing. Patients seem to accept their situation, they are testing their own ways trying to find solutions. To be able to meet and discuss their situation and their treatments of dry eye with other patients in the same situation is perceived as positive, as this contributes to a sense of social relationship and a development of patient self-care. Better understanding of how patients with dry eye are affected by and experiences their situation is important in order to meet patients ' self-care needs and to provide the medical staff evidence-based knowledge. There is a need to increase the knowledge about patients with dry eyes and their experiences to this problem. More extensive studies in this area need to be accomplished.

Vad gör en fiskmarknad i Stockholm? Projektet, som utgår från idén om en fiskmarknad på Skeppsbron i Gamla stan, har fokuserats på en alternativ lösning där fisk och grönsaker odlas i ett slutet system – akvaponi. Anledning till den alternativa ingången är Östersjöns dåliga hälsotillstånd, som är en följd av en lång tids ogenerade föroreningar. Östersjöfisken är i dag förbjuden att sälja som matfisk inom EU, men svenska politiker har aktivt sökt, och fått, dispens för en inhemsk försäljning av den förgiftade fisken. Kvinnor och barn avråds i dag från att äta östersjöfisk mer än tre gånger per år. Är det då hållbart att viga en så central plats som Skeppsbron åt en romantiserad fiskhall som bär färre än hundra ”lokala” fiskare under armarna, och som riktar sig till ett smalt, i huvudsak manligt kundsegment? En strategi formas för att kunna tillgodose en fiskmarknad med enbart fisk odlad på plats, samtidigt som den inre organisation och stadsrummet tas i beaktan.What is a fish market doing in Stockholm? The project, based on the idea of a fish market on Skeppsbron in the old town of Stockholm (Gamla stan), has its focus on an alternative solution where fish and vegetables are grown in a closed system – aquaponics. The reason for the alternative solution is the bad health situation for the Baltic sea, which is the outcome of a long period of unashamed polluting. The fish from the Baltic sea is illegal to sell as food within the EU, but Swedish politicians have actively sought, and received, exemption for a regional trade with the poisoned fish. Women and children are advised to refrain from eating fish from the Baltic sea more than three times per year. Is it then sustainable to use such a central place as Skeppsbron for a romanticized fish market that pays for less than a hundred “local” fishermen, and that addresses a narrow, mainly male segment? A strategy is formed to provide for a fish market with only fish bred on location, at the same time taking in consideration the inner organization and the cityscape.

Full textAbstract:
The manner in which Torah is understood alters the manner in which the use of it is determined. This biblical „law‟ has traditionally been understood to prescribe legal remedies and obligations for the cases it treats. However, this prescriptive understanding is increasingly seen as an anachronistic caricature in need of revision. Current alternative proposals based upon an indicative model are still fundamentally legal in nature. Considering the implications derived from the relational character of narrative and covenant this thesis postulates that a similar underpinning of Torah would be feasible. It is in this context that the thesis attempts to examine an example of use to determine the nature of Torah. As a snapshot of a particular time and context the Yehud example of Ezra-Nehemiah was chosen on the basis of the prescriptive association and the consequential difficulties the texts offer. Indeed, the complications derived from adopting the more legalistic approach usually results in questions being raised over the reliability of the text. In particular, the conflict in matching Ezra 9-10 and the genuine use of a legalistic Torah has given rise to much scholarship intent on identifying the alternative events behind the text. Assumptions on the required manipulation of the material and the genuine reasons motivating the religious leader are variously offered at the expense of the consequently unreliable text. In contrast, the relational approach allows for a genuine Torah basis to the text, which effectively removes the need for creative explanations. In addition, the relational approach also provides a greater correlation between the Ezra and Nehemiah text with an emphasis on the empowerment of a community with direct access to the Torah. It is on this basis that this thesis concludes that the use of the Torah in Ezra-Nehemiah indicates that the text should be understood as relational.
