Neoliberalism, Nordic welfare states and social work: current and future challenges. London: Routledge [online], chapter 6. Available from: https://www.routledge.com/9780367152154

This article seeks to draw upon the changes and consequences which have been experienced as a result of global neoliberal policy implementation. The use of privatisation and market in the delivery of social welfare services has implications for the t... Read More about Neoliberalism, welfare state and social work practice in Finland..

Improved harmonic loss: history gated unit recycling for online state of charge and state of energy co-estimation of lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage stations. (2025)
Journal Article
WANG, S., WEI, J., ZHANG, L., LI, H., FERNANDEZ, C. and BLAABJERG, F. [2025]. Improved harmonic loss: history gated unit recycling for online state of charge and state of energy co-estimation of lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage stations. Energy [online], In Press, article number 139225. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2025.139225

Accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) and state of energy (SOE) of a battery is critical for battery system management to improve the reliability and safety of battery operation. Since both SOC and SOE are cumulative quantities of time, hi...

Semirenewable polyamides containing disulfide bonds: synthesis, degradation, self-healing, and triboelectric properties. (2025)
Journal Article
KULYABIN, P.S., LOZANO-PÉREZ, A.S., XU, T., MORE, Y.D., SAMPATHKUMAR, H., PANCHOLI, K., PAGE, O., RENNIE, C., HÄMMERLING, L., LIMA, K., ZYSMAN-COLMAN, E., TAN, J.-C. and KUMAR, A. [2025]. Semirenewable polyamides containing disulfide bonds: synthesis, degradation, self-healing, and triboelectric properties. Macromolecules [online], ASAP articles. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.5c02730

We report here the synthesis, degradation, and properties of polyamides containing disulfide bonds. The polyamides have been prepared using a two-step melt polycondensation process from 4,4'-dithiodibutyric acid and bioderived Priamine. The degradati...
