Området industribränder kan som det redovisats i denna rapport sammanfattas i bl.a. följande punkter: Det existerar ett antal principiellt skilda beräkningsmetoder och dessa inkluderar okomplicerade beräkningsuttryck, zon-modeller och fältmodeller. Val av metod maste bero på ändamalet med beräkningen, någon universalmetod eller universaldatorprogram existerar inte och kan inte ens skönjas. En val

This paper describes the development of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for emulating an analog joystick using an inductive tongue-computer interface. The principle of operation of the interface and the inductive sensors signals are described. The FIS receives sensor signals and output the Cartesian position of the virtual joystick, which can be used to control the mouse pointer in a personal compu

The standard pharmacological treatment for Parkinson's disease using the dopamine precursor levodopa is unfortunately limited by gradual development of disabling involuntary movements for which the underlying causes are poorly understood. Here we show that levodopa-induced dyskinesia in hemiparkinsonian rats is strongly associated with pronounced 80 Hz local field potential oscillations in the pri

Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån mitt empiriska material kartlägga och beskriva hur de anställda på de särskilda ungdomshemmen tolkar, definierar, och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de anställda samordnarna uppfattades och kategoriserades. I institutionspersonalens framställning är samordnarens The aim of this study is to map out and describe the way employees in Swedish juvenile homes interpret, define and perceive, on the one hand, the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” meaning “Counteract Violence and Gangs”, and on the other hand the role of the Coordinators employed in this project. The role of the Coordinator is formally clear and unproblematic. The project management directives sta

Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. A complementary test to discriminate between symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) and ABU is needed, as diagnostic uncertainty is likely to generate significant antibiotic overtreatment. Previous studies indicate that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in

Calibration of network nodes using only time differences of arrival (TDOA) measurements opens up for interesting applications in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks, e.g. finding the positions of cell phones by only ambient sounds or radio. We present two novel approaches for the problem of self-calibration of network nodes using only TDOA when both receivers and transmitters are unsynchronized. We co

This co-authored article develops Border Work (BW) as a methodological approach which is under explored in socio-legal scholar-activism, through analysing two distinct examples.

The thesis examines the new media landscape were politics and social media play central parts. In Sweden Piratpartiet, or the Pirate Party has grown in popularity and much of the success is earned thanks to the party’s political strategy in social media. Since the phenomena of social media is new and therefore not examined in academic studies, the essay’s purpose is to map out how social media is

Objective. Lack of adherence with pharmacological therapy is a public health concern that compels tremendous costs for the health care system and the community. To analyse the association between socioeconomic disadvantage and primary nonadherence with medication, and to explore possible mediating effects of trust in health care and lifestyle profile. Design. Cross-sectional population-based study

Popular Abstract in Swedish From an economic viewpoint, derivatives and credit-extension instruments are the basic building blocks of all financial instruments. By structuring these building blocks in various combinations, it is possible to attain the economic substance of any conventional financial instrument – regular shares or bonds, as well as more complex financial instruments such as contingThe aim of this book is to examine the Swedish income tax treatment of derivatives, to ascertain the extent to which this treatment provides tax arbitrage opportunities, and to present possible solution that may prevent existing arbitrage opportunities. This study establishes that there are two types of financial instruments that constitute the greatest challenges regarding tax arbitrage opportuni

Anomi är ett centralt rättssociologiskt begrepp introducerat av Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) som beskriver ett tillstånd av oklarhet och normlöshet som överförs på individen vilket får denne att känna otillfredsställelse. Identifieringen av anomi indikerar rättsliga förändringsprocesser och tydliggör samtidens rättskultur när mönster bryts. Kränkningsersättning, s.k. rent ideellt skadestånd, som akt

In this paper we present a novel method for predictive coding with application to transmission of speech over packet-switched networks. Our method uses multiplexing to distribute a part of the information about a segment of each speech signal in several data packets while keeping the data packet rate and payload for that part of the information unchanged. We investigate three multiplexing schemes:

Objectives. To assess waiting times for three groups of orthopaedic patients in Sweden and to identify factors explaining variations in waiting time. Also examined were factors associated with patients' perceptions that waiting times were too long. Design. Retrospective study. Setting and study participants. Patients from orthopaedic units at 10 Swedish hospitals participated in the study. A quest

The main concern of this paper is the joint utilization of new methods of research and analysis in the study of value. 40 persons, varying from age 20 to 70 and from different professional domains were studies by the use of a three-images technique inspired by Murray´s TAT. The aim was to unveil the implicit dimensions of work related values. Three analytical methods (content analysis, lexical ana

Projektet har haft sitt största fokus vid att göra en djuplodande rättsutredning för att därmed kunna ange konkreta förslag på praktiskt användbara rättsliga lösningar för tillgängliggörande av öppna datakällor. Två tydliga förslag förs fram: 1. Riktlinjer för vidareutnyttjande av handlingar som finns hos myndigheten (datapolicy); och 2. En öppen licens för vidareutnyttjande av information från

In 1975 Mozambique attained its independence from Portugal, but it was only in 1992 with the establishment of a peace agreement after the extended civil war that the country was able to initiate its development process including the undertaking of research and development (R & D) efforts. Government and international cooperation provided the support for the R & D programmes and projects, m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vilket lands domstolar är behöriga att lösa tvister som kan uppkomma till följd av elektroniska avtal där parterna hör hemma i olika länder? Vilket lands lag skall domstolen använda? Även om en svensk domstol är behörig är det inte säkert att den skall använda svensk lag. Dessa frågor sorterar inom ett ämnesområde som heter interationell privat- och processrätt. I avhanThis study addresses some of the private international law perspectives on electronic commerce, namely the matters of jurisdiction and choice of law. Electronic commerce is based on the formation of contracts, and when there are contracts, questions regarding legal issues arise. A distinctive trait of electronic business is that its activities are not bound by geographic borders in a traditional s
