SimSWE is a library of components for modeling and simulation of software engineering processes. It consists of a generic, implementation independent description of the components and a reference implementation using the MATLAB® / Simulink® environment. By providing ready-to-use building blocks for typical functionality, the library should facilitate and ease the use of simulation to analyze softw
Today, innovation is a key word for many universities, as it constitutes an important part of most universities’ public and scientific interaction with society. Many universities are striving to increase the number of innovations spun out. At many universities, innovations are thought of as being sprung from research projects and generated by researchers. However, Sandström (2014) claims that whil
Aviation fuel is a petroleum product that fulfills the Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels. Crude oil has been the raw material for production of aviation fuels for many years. Since the availability of crude oil is predicted to be limited in the future, alternative raw materials for aviation fuels are highly desirable. A Swedish company, Oroboros AB, has developed a novel clean synt
In this paper, we investigate the importance of taking frequency-dependent temporal phenomena into account in audio coding. We do this in the context of sinusoidal modeling of audio signals by applying amplitude modulation to the sinusoidal components. Traditionally, audio coders use a fixed time-segmentation for all frequencies despite that it is well-known that the time-frequency resolution of t
If we admit that, with the exception of language, human perception is predominantly visual, it is reasonable to think that all phenomena conveyed by the visual senses have something in common, but then visual semiotics/visual culture will comprehend much more than painting, sculpture, and architecture. The double coding hypotheses of cognitive psychology, as well as Lessing’s classical opposition
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
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and changes in GABAergic neurotransmission affect the overall activity of neuronal networks. The uptake of GABA into synaptic vesicles is mediated by the vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT), and changes in the expression of the transporter directly regulate neurotransmitter release. In this work we investigated the changes in VGAT protein leve
Mucosal surfaces of the reproductive tract as well as their secretions have important roles in preventing sexual transmission of HIV-1. In the current study, the majority of the intrinsic anti-HIV-1 activity of human seminal plasma (SP) was determined to reside in the cationic polypeptide fraction. Antiviral assays utilizing luciferase reporter cells and lymphocytic cells revealed the ability of w
The lack of human resources is one of the main bottlenecks to achieving the Millennium Development Goals on maternal and child health. A coherent national policy, recognized across government, needs to be in place to overcome this especially in countries severely affected by HIV/AIDS. Such a policy should cover selection of pre-service students, the qualifications of trainers and training sites, s
Aim: Does metabolic control improve in children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), when modifying the quality of carbohydrates by introducing low glycaemic index (GI) foods? Methods: The inclusion criteria for the study was children with diabetes mellitus type 1, age from 7 to 11 years old, they should have a moderate glucose control with HbA1c between 7,5 to 8,5 and no allergy to ce
Objective: Assessing psychological pain is crucial for evaluating suicide risk. This study examined differences in psychological pain between patients with suicide attempts, those with suicidal ideation, clinical, and non-clinical controls using a newly translated German version of the Mee-Bunney Psychological Pain Assessment Scale (MBPPAS). Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with two i
Lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS) genomgick år 2022 en reform som bland annat innebar en förändring av regleringen för uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl i 7 § LAS. Syftet var att öka förutsebarheten för både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare vid uppsägningar. Med hjälp av rättsdogmatisk metod syftar uppsatsen till att analysera och kartlägga reformen i förhållande till uppsägning på gruThe Employment Protection Act (LAS) underwent a reform in 2022 which, among other things, involved a change in the regulation regarding dismissals on personal grounds in Section 7. The purpose of the reform was to increase predictability for both employers and employees in cases of dismissals. Using a legal dogmatic method, the thesis aims to analyse and map the reform in relation to dismissal on
The ESS linac is under construction by the ESS partner institutes (socalled In-Kind Contributors - IKC) and will operate the most powerful proton beam ever for neutron spallation source. The linac delivers 5 MW via 2 GeV protons at a repetition rate of 14 Hz at the He-cooled solid tungsten target. The pulsed neutrons, result of the spallation, will reach the science instruments after having been m
I uppsatsen analyseras valutaspekulationsstrategin carry trading och huruvida den kan generera positiv avkastning och överavkastning. Perioden som studeras är 1990 till och med första kvartalet 2012. Vidare undersöks om skillnader förekommer i överavkastningar från carry trades innan och under den nuvarande finanskrisen som startade kring 2008. Teorierna kurssäkrad- och icke kurssäkrad ränteparite
