The performance of traditional continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is limited by their large sensitivity to feedback pulse-width variations caused by clock jitter in their feedback digital-to-analog converters (DACs). To mitigate that effect, we propose a modified switched-capacitor (SC) feedback DAC technique, with a variable switched series resistor (SR). The arc
The neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), which is found in a population of cholinergic parasympathetic neurons in the airways, has no effects per se on mucociliary activity. In order to test the hypothesis that VIP may modulate cholinergic regulation of the mucociliary system, VIP was infused intraarterially (8.4 pmol/kg/min), and the response to challenges with methacholine in th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling utforskar och analyserar segregation och självsortering i utbildning. Den syftar till att diskutera hur detta relateras till genus, individualisering och unga mäns och kvinnors positioneringar i lokala praktiker, genom val av gymnasieutbildning. Den fokuserar hur unga män och kvinnor hanterar och anpssar sig till det förändrade senmoderna samhället. AvThis thesis explores and analyzes segregation and self-sorting in education. It aims at discussing how this relates to gender, individualization and young men and women's positionings in local practices, through choices of upper secondary school education. It focuses on how young men and women cope with and adapt to the changing society in late modernity. The thesis is based on three empirical st
Sweden has experienced many geomagnetically induced current (GIC) events in the past, which is obviously due to the high-latitude location of the country. The largest GIC, almost 300 A, was measured in southern Sweden in the earthing lead of a 400 kV transformer neutral during the magnetic storm on 6 April 2000. On 30 October 2003, the city of Malmo at the southern coast suffered from a power blac
Cystatin F is a recently discovered type II cystatin expressed almost exclusively in immune cells. It is present intracellularly in lysosome-like vesicles, which suggests a potential role in regulating papain-like cathepsins involved in antigen presentation. Therefore, interactions of cystatin F with several of its potential targets, cathepsins F, K, V, S, H, X and C, were studied in vitro. Cystat
Abstract in Norwegian Bakgrunn. Fallulykker er et viktig helseproblem hos eldre. Både balansetesting og registrering av egenrapportert funksjon kan være måter å forutse fremtidige ulykker på. Materiale og metode. I en kohortstudie ble egenrapportert gangfunksjon kartlagt hos 307 tilfeldig utvalgte hjemmeboende kvinner 75 år og eldre. Kvinnene gjennomgikk også testing av balanse og gangfunksjon, oBACKGROUND: Falls represent an important health problem among the elderly. Balance testing as well as registration of self-reported balance problems may be appropriate in order to predict the risk of future falls. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Self-reported walking was assessed in 307 randomly selected women 75 years or older living at home. The women underwent testing of gait and balance and were follow
The long-acting beta 2-agonist salmeterol has been shown in several in vitro studies to produce non-beta-mediated relaxant effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether these effects have any relevance in humans in vivo. Thirteen healthy individuals were studied in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study on five separate days. The subjects were pre-treated orally with eithe
The transition towards low-carbon energy systems undeniably requires a strong scale-up in the diffusion of renewable energy technologies globally. Given its theoretical and techno-economic potential, solar photovoltaics (PV) is considered an important option. The envisioned scale-up of the use of solar PV, however, requires an in-depth and system-oriented perspective on structures and processes re
The effect of electron-beam patterning on the water uptake and ionic conductivity of Nafion films using a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance studies, neutron reflectometry, and impedance spectroscopy is reported. The aim is to further characterize the nanoscale patterned Nafion structures recently used as a key element in novel ion-to-electron transducers
Interim medication-only treatment has been suggested for the initiation of opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) in opioid-dependent subjects, but this rarely has been studied using buprenorphine instead of methadone. Following a pilot trial assessing interim buprenorphine-naloxone treatment in order to facilitate transfer into OMT, we here aimed to study retention, and potential correlates of retent
Abstract Background: The incidence of peptic ulcer disease was expected to decrease following the introduction of acid inhibitors and H. pylori eradication. Aim: This study analyses possible changes in the incidence of bleeding peptic ulcer, treatment and mortality over time. Methods: Residents of Malmö hospitalised for bleeding gastric or duodenal ulcer disease1987-2004 were identified in hospita
A comprehensive study was conducted to monitor the emission potential from solid waste landfilled in Jordan over a period of 292 days using an anaerobic lysimeter. A 30 kg waste sample reflecting the typical municipal solid waste (MSW) streams generated in Jordan was used to simulate the influence of climate on the emission potential of landfills located in semi-arid areas. The experimental result
BACKGROUND: In order to determine myocardial salvage, accurate quantification of myocardium at risk (MaR) is necessary. We present a validated novel automatic segmentation algorithm for quantification of MaR by myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) in patients with acute coronary occlusion. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients with coronary occlusion were injected with a perfusion tracer before re
Research has been pointing out that productivity in the building industry is stagnant and in some cases declining. Poor productivity of craftsmen is one of the causes of cost and time overruns on building projects. Productivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. The objective of this research
After the “Venus Transit Conference” that took place at the University of Tromsø from June 2 to June 3, 2012, participants were given the opportunity to either stay in Tromsø until the night of June 5–6, or to participate in a voyage to Finnmark, where the historical sites Vardø, Hammerfest, and the North Cape were to be visited. This voyage culminated in the observation of the 2012 transit of Ven

Title of paper 1 INTRODUCTION Critical infrastructures and societal functions, such as transportation, telecommunications, health care and energy distribution, constitute the backbone of a modern society. These systems are also heavily in- terdependent, meaning that failures in a system does not stay isolated but can cascade to other systems Hence societal resources must be devoted to safe- guard
