Vid företagsförvärv kan det finnas en önskan hos köparen att låta målbolaget medverka till finansieringen av aktieförvärvet. Möjligheterna till sådan medverkan begränsas emellertid genom det s.k. förvärvslåneförbudet i 21 kap. 5 § aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) enligt vilket aktiebolag inte får ge förskott, lämna lån eller ställa säkerhet (”lån m.m.) i syfte att gäldenären ska förvärva aktier i bolagWhen acquiring shares in a company the buyer may want the target company to contribute to the financing of the acquisition. The means of such contribution is however limited through a prohibition in Chapter 21 Section 5 of the Companies Act (2005:551) according to which a company may not grant advance, provide loans or provide security for loans (“loans etc.”) in order that the debtor or any natur

This paper presents an iterative decoder for faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) and orthogonal signaling multi-carrier systems. FTN signaling is a method of improving bandwidth efficiency at the expense of higher processing complexity in the transceiver. The decoder can switch between orthogonal and FTN signaling modes and exploits channel properties to improve bandwidth efficiency. The decoder is fabricat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en snabbt växande folksjukdom som redan har drabbat 200 miljoner världen runt. Det finns två typer av sjukdomen: typ I samt typ II diabetes. Den förstnämnda drabbar vanligtvis de unga och beror på en s.k. autoimmun reaktion där kroppens egna immunförsvar av okänd anledning plötsligt inte känner igen insulincellerna och börjar attackera dem. Typ II diabetes uDiabetes affects around 200 million people worldwide. Curing diabetes would require the prevention of autoimmune destruction of beta cells and restoration of the beta cell mass restored either through regeneration or transplantation of the insulin producing cells. Islet transplantation according to the Edmonton protocol have been the most promising therapeutic option for Diabetes type I patients,

Föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § stadgar att barnets bästa skall vara avgörande för alla beslut i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Barnets bästa är en princip som går att finna i såväl internationella dokument som i nationell lagstiftning. Begreppet barnets bästas innebörd är ej uttryckligen definierad i varken de internationella dokumenten, såsom barnkonventionen, eller i svensk nationell lagstAccording to the Swedish parental code 6 chapter 2 a §, the best interest of the child shall be conclusive for all decisions in matters of custody, residency and right to access. The best interest of the child is a principle which can be found in both international documents and in national legislation. The concept of the principle of the best interest of the child is not expressly defined in neit

Over-the-air multi-probe setups provide an efficient way to characterize the performance of today’s advanced wireless communication systems. In this paper the measurement uncertainty of such a setup using a car as a test object is characterized through three experiments: measurement system analysis, channel sounder measurements, and probe coupling measurements. Four issues were in focus for the an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Malaria och tuberkulos är två av de mest dödliga infektionssjukdomarna i världen. Biologiskt är de två infektionerna mycket olika; malaria orsakas av en encellig parasit, en plasmodium, som sprids mellan personer med hjälp av myggbett, och tuberkulos av en bakterie som sprids via upphostade bakterier. Vidare drabbar malaria vanligtvis blodomloppet medan tuberkulos oftasMalaria and tuberculosis are two of the most deadly infectious diseases that exist. Both diseases predominantly affect the most vunerable parts of society. Additionally the treatment of both diseases are complicated by growing and spreading resistance against the drugs used to treat them. Chloroquine was once described as a wonder drug for its combination of efficacy, low price and tolerable side

We present a simple key-recovery attack on the LCMQ Authentication Protocol, an RFID authentication protocol proposed by Li, Gong, and Qin in 2013. We show that a successful attack is performed by solving a Learning Parity with Noise instance in a not-too-large dimension. For the proposed LCMQ parameters, the attack requires only a few invocations with the tag under attack. When there is no restri

The potential of additional steering possibilities (like rear-wheel or all-wheel steering) is analyzed for critical situations to investigate possible safety improvements. For this purpose, a dynamic optimization problem is formulated to find the best possible maneuver. The optimization criterion is to maximize the entry speed into a constant radius 90°-curve. The optimization problem is solved fo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteopetros är ett samlingsnamn för en grupp av sjukdomar som påverkar benombildningen i vår kropp. Denna term kan lätt förväxlas med den betydligt vanligare sjukdomen osteoporos (benskörhet). Trots ordens snarlikhet skiljer sig dessa sjukdomar sig avsevärt från varandra. Osteo är latin för ben och medan poros kan översättas med porös betyder petros sten. Även om de oliThe goal in this thesis is development of gene therapy for malignant infantile osteopetrosis (IMO), a rare but severe genetic bone disease. The concept of osteopetrosis implies dysfunction or lack of osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells in our body, resulting in failure of normal bone breakdown. Although involved in bone remodeling, osteoclasts are of hematopoietic origin and may potentially be t

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent lymphoma subtype. In Sweden 450 new cases are diagnosed annually. With modern anthracycline-containing chemotherapy DLBCL is potentially curable, with an estimated overall cure rate of approximately 50% for patients with advanced stage disease. Through molecular profiling of DLBCL the ?cell-of-origin concept? has been established: patients

In this paper we establish a geometry-based stochastic ultra-wideband channel model for outdoor infostations scenarios. We statistically describe the location and strength of clusters of scatterers, as well as the shape and width of visibility and shadowing regions. We also separately model diffuse radiation (which cannot be explained by the scatterer components), and show that its fading statisti

Predicting the probable survival for a patient can be very challenging for many diseases. In many forms of cancer, the choice of treatment can be directly impacted by the estimated risk for the patient. This thesis explores different methods to predict the patient's survival chances using artificial neural networks (ANN). ANN is a machine learning technique inspired by how neurons in the brain fu

We implement the Grain-128AEAD stream cipher in hardware, using a 65 nm library. By exploring different optimization techniques, both at RTL level but also during synthesis, we first target high throughput, then low power. We reach over 33 GB/s targeting a high-speed design, at expense of power and area. We also show that, when targeting low power, the design only requires 0.23 $${\upmu }$$W runni

The purpose of this paper is to analyse transient dynamics in adaptive control using statistical concentration bounds. For maximal clarity, the study is limited to a linear first order system with a single uncertain parameter. Two types of bounds are given: First we prove probabilistic bounds on the parameter estimation error as a function of time. In particular, we prove that the estimation error

The nature of the Neolithic Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) has been debated in Scandinavian archaeology since the beginning of the 20th century. This material culture post-dates the inception of an agro-pastoral Neolithic economy in the region (TRB) but demonstrate a semi-foraging lifeway. The PWC is considered elusive in the sense that the economy has been interpreted as either based on maritime forag

We study an optimal targeting problem for super-modular games with binary actions and finitely many players. The considered problem consists in the selection of a subset of players of minimum size such that, when the actions of these players are forced to a controlled value while the others are left to repeatedly play a best response action, the system will converge to the greatest Nash equilibriu

In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign in a suburban scenario for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Air-to-Ground (A2G) radio channel is introduced.The downlink signals in an in-service Long Term Evolution (LTE) network were collected and utilized to extract the Channel Impulse Responses (CIRs). A high-resolution parameter estimation algorithm derived based on the Space-Al

Utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens har tagit massiva kliv det senaste årtiondet och tekniken har stor potential att utveckla många områden i samhället. Ett av dessa områden är behandling av cancer i sjukvården. Detta examensarbete introducerar en ny metod för att träna AI-algoritmer att automatiskt dela upp och klassificera olika områden i en bild. Denna metod testas sedan för att markera ut The last decades of research in machine learning and deep learning have lead to enormous advancements in the field. One of the areas that stand to gain the most from this is the medical sector. However, the majority of deep learning models today rely on supervised learning and one considerable bottleneck in the sector's ability to adapt the technology is the need of large labeled datasets.
