  1. 1. Bridging Nature and Care : nurturing Individuals with Dementia in a Residential Care Facility in Denmark

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and Society

    Author : Mia Therese Trnka; [2024]
    Keywords : quality Evaluation Tool; nature-based care culture; principal Model of Four Zones of Contact with the Outdoors; nature-based dementia care; key-players in nature-based care cultures; healthcare professionals; supporting environments in residential care facilities; nature-based interventions;

    Abstract : The global demographic shift towards an aging population, with a projected 22% of the world over 60 by 2050, presents a significant challenge because of the soaring rates of dementia, carrying profound economic, political, and social consequences. Research emphasizes the potential of naturebased interventions in improving the well-being of individuals with dementia. READ MORE

  3. 2. Impact of Frame Stiffness on Tribological Behaviour of Sliding Interfaces

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Nisha Singh; [2023]
    Keywords : coefficient of friction; friction-vibration interaction; stiffness; tribometer; vibrations; friktionskoefficient; friktion-vibrationsinteraktion; styvhet; tribometer; vibrationer;

    Abstract : Friction and wear have been concerns to industrialists, scientists and environmentalist for several decades. Many robust models have been developed to address friction and wear and their dependency on various parameters. Numerous experiments have been conducted in the past to model friction and wear.

  4. 3. Electron-skyrmion systems, in and out of equilibrium, and isolated or contacted to reservoirs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Emil Adam Jonatan Östberg; [2023]
    Keywords : skyrmion; skyrmions; NEGF; freen s function; quantum transport; non-equlibrium; topology; topological charge; skyrmionics; current induced; open system; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A Kondo lattice skyrmion model in contact with a macroscopic environment is simulated to explore skyrmion dynamics, which is an extension of previous work. The system is simulated using non-equilibrium Green's functions within the generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz and the wide band limit. READ MORE

  5. 4. CFD investigation of a unit cell inside a Plate Heat Exchanger

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Mattias Ly; [2023]
    Keywords : Plate Heat Exchanger; CFD; Computational Fluid Dynamics; LES; Large Eddy Simulation; Periodic; Unit Cell; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Mediating Role of Social Trust. A Quantitative Study of Frequent Social Interaction and Attitudes toward Immigrants.

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för globala politiska studier (GPS)

    Author : Fatima Fridh; [2023]
    Keywords : attitudes toward immigrants; social trust; immigrants; contact theory; frequent social interaction.;

    Abstract : One of the pillars of a democratic society is social trust. It strengthens the perception of group values and creates a social environment that may influence attitudes toward immigrants. This paper delves into the dynamics of frequent social interaction (FSI), attitudes towards immigrants (ATI), and the mediating role of social trust (ST). READ MORE
