In this chapter, the authors highlight that the challenges related to managing modern projects are that the management problems have changed since traditional project management methods were developed. This calls for new project management methods, adapted to situations of rapid technological change and flexibility. The authors identify and highlight the limitations of both traditional and agile m

In B tailbiting trellis encoder, the starting state of the encoder is set to the state at which the machine will be at the end of the encoded frame. By this means the probability of decoding error at the end of the frame can be kept low without the addition of termination bits and the consequent rate loss. We report on an extensive search for short and moderatelength convoluticinal encoders for ta

gussenhoven Languages with and without word stress Carlos Gussenhoven, Radboud University A language has word stress if a syllable-based culminative and obligatory prominence feature is part of the phonology of words (Hyman 2006). This definition excludes languages with a mora-based obligatory tone, like Kinga, languages with an obligatory phrase-based syllabic pitch accent, like French, and langu

Purpose: To assess whether grating-based X-ray dark-field imaging can increase the sensitivity of X-ray projection images in the diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema and allow for a more accurate assessment of emphysema distribution. Materials and Methods: Lungs from three mice with pulmonary emphysema and three healthy mice were imaged ex vivo using a laser-driven compact synchrotron X-ray source. Me

Objectives To determine the accuracy of established ultrasound dating formulae when used at 12-14 weeks of gestation. Methods One-hundred and sixty-seven singleton pregnancies conceived after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) underwent a dating scan at 12-14 weeks of gestation. Gestational age at the dating scan was calculated by adding 14 days to the number of days between the date of oocyte retrieva

Around the world there are people who are on the run, among these people there is a large number of unaccompanied refugee children who for various reasons have been displaced and separated from their parents. When an unaccompanied refugee child is arriving to Sweden, one of the first questions is where the child will live. In Sweden, these unaccompanied children first arrive to a municipality. In

Evidence-based practice is steadily gaining popularity as the preferred choice of practice within Swedish libraries and the implementation of this practice has been the focal point for several prominent conferences organized and held in Sweden the last couple of years. There seems to be an increasing consensus within the library sphere in Sweden that this is something positive and desirable. Rarel

The purpose of this report is to compare different heating devices for future apartment blocks. The compared heating devices were district heating, geothermal heating, pellets heating and pellets heating combined with solar heating. The two main elements in the report compare the different alternatives with regards to their environmental impact and their lifecycle cost. The heating devices are als

Background: Block-sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM), commercially Q. Clear (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA), is a reconstruction algorithm that allows for a fully convergent iterative reconstruction leading to higher image contrast compared to conventional reconstruction algorithms, while also limiting noise. The noise penalization factor β controls the trade-off between n

Background: A pattern of major and minor congenital anomalies, facial dysmorphic features, and neurodevelopmental difficulties, including cognitive and social impairments has been reported in some children exposed to sodium valproate (VPA) during pregnancy. Recognition of the increased risks of in utero exposure to VPA for congenital malformations, and for the neurodevelopmental effects in particu

Background: Currently, hand-held gamma cameras are being developed for 99mTc imaging, mainly for sentinel lymph node detection. These cameras offer advantages, such as mobility and ease of access, and may be useful also for other applications such as biokinetic studies in animals or for imaging of small, superficial structures in patients. In this work, the suitability of a CZT-based hand-held cam

Objective: The authors aimed to clarify the sources of parent-child transmission for suicide attempt and death by suicide. Methods: Three sources of parent-child resemblance (genes plus rearing, genes only, and rearing only) were examined in parents and offspring from four family types from Swedish national samples: intact nuclear families, families with a not-lived-with biological father, familie

Objectives: To validate the performance of the most commonly used formulas for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) against measured GFR during the index hospitalisation for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Setting: Single centre, methodological study. Participants: 40 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention-treated STEMI were included between November 2011 and Februa

This master thesis addresses the electrically powered assisted bicycle (EPAC) as a future low-carbon commuting option and its market. The purpose of the report is to evaluate whether the EPAC can be used to improve the climate performance of the transport sector and to assess the outlook for the Swedish EPAC market. The EPAC is compared to the bicycle, car, bus and train and assessed thereafter. T

Introduction: PARP15 belongs to the PARP family, which carries out ADP-ribosylation, a post- translational modification involved in DNA repair. Finding selective inhibitors can help discover more of the role PARP15 plays in our body. Background: Inhibitors of other PARP family members, such as PARP1, have been studied because of their role in cancer processes. However, PARP15 remains poorly charac

The urgency of global climate change and other geological-scale anthropogenic impacts also suggests new perspectives on economic history. This thesis argues for the inclusion into economic history of more Earth-system centred feedbacks, both in terms of environmental and climatic consequences and environmental and climatic causes, where consequences in one realm may again become causal in the othe
