The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on society has been suspected to affect gambling behaviors. Potentially, the pandemic crisis may result in increased problem gambling, for example, due to COVID-19-related psychological distress, unemployment, and financial difficulties. In ad-dition, the cancellation of sports in early parts of the crisis has been suspected to alter gambling behaviors. Policy

In 2005 the Swedish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry (LIF) initiated a national environmental classification and information system for pharmaceuticals. This investigation reports the results from a survey, conducted among the persons involved in the start-up process. The aim of this study is to generate knowledge contributing to the clarification of the motivations, expectations, and in

For model verification which is mainly focused on the control of discretization errors of numerical results, a posteriori error estimation plays an important role in various numerical tools such as the finite element method. The outputs of interest are usually converted into integral functionals over the problem domain for a posteriori error analysis. Among the available techniques for goal-orient

X-ray phase-contrast imaging by grating interferometry has in the past decades been established both at synchrotron radiation sources and at conventional x-ray tubes. Due to the sensitivity to x-ray phase shifting, contrast in soft tissue has been improved significantly and the possibilities to do virtual histology of tissue biopsies are being pioneered. Constraints in the design of a grating inte

This paper focuses on the intersection of social dynamics, knowledge production, and the implementation of identity features in robotic platforms. Concentrating on the concept of epistemic injustice, particularly in the context of trust, the study highlights the potential for justified distrust based on experienced injustice. The incorporation of social identity features, such as gender, signals g

Microbicides in the leather industries are employed to avoid the biodeterioration of the hides by microorganisms. This problem may lead to harmful characteristics to the end product such as stains, roughness and decrease mechanical properties of leather. Therefore, microbicides like the 2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TMCTB) are applied in distinct steps of the tanning process as alternativ

The problem of planning a trajectory for robots starting in an initial state and reaching a final state in a desired interval of time is tackled. We consider Model Predictive Control as an approach to the problem of point-to-point trajectory generation. We use the developed strategy to generate trajectories for transferring the state of the robot, fulfilling computational real-time requirements. E

I kapitlet problematiseras den sociala rättigheten till skolutbildning på gymnasial nivå i Sverige med fokus på yrkes- och lärlingsutbildning utifrån ett medborgarskapsperspektiv. Syftet är att analysera hur ungdomarnas sociala rättighet till gymnasial utbildning förverkligas av statliga och kommunala aktörer. Jag avgränsar mig till att studera hur skolrepresentanter och tjänstemän på lokal nivå,
