Hjärnans informationsbearbetning efter stroke Du drar ditt finger över mobilskärmen, lägger kort märke till glasytans känsla och sedan förflyttas ditt fokus till skärmen. Men hur möjliggör hjärnan denna känselupplevelse? Och vad händer när hjärnan inte längre fungerar som den ska? Hur hjärnan bearbetar den stora mängd information den konstant mottar är fortfarande till stora delar okänt. Att veta How the brain processes all the incoming information it receives is still an unanswered question, and many different theories about how it is done exist. This thesis expands on one of these theories which views the brain's information processing as a widely distributed network phenomena, which contradicts the currently most popular hierarchical theory consisting of areas dedicated to processin

This Master Thesis is an evaluation of the certification on ISO 14001 in Skanska Väg, region syd. The purpose is to answer if Skanska Väg has succeeded to carry the understanding and the engagement into effect through the hole company. The study gives some suggestions to improvements or redistribution of resources when introducing Environmental Management Systems (EMS), but also illuminates the pr

Business rules approach is often defined as a way of managing and automating business rules where a business rule is a statement influencing business behavior. The literature is mainly focusing on the development and implementation of business rules and only partially discusses the strategic management of them. The academic research acknowledges the importance of rule management and handling strat

The typical catalyst layers (CLs) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are fabricated as random heterogeneous composites to meet the multifunctional requirements of transport phenomena and electrochemical activity. The employment of Pt nano-particles, carbonaceous substrates and Nafion ionomers in CLs allows effective diffusion of hydrogen and oxygen, transport and phase change of water

A fundamental building block of any Grid infrastructures is the Grid information service and the information model. The information model describes the entities and relationships between entities within the infrastructure along with their semantics. The realization into a concrete data model defines the syntax by which these concepts can be exchanged. This data model enables consumers of informati

We describe our contribution to the SemEval task on Frame-Semantic Structure Extraction. Unlike most previous systems described in literature, ours is based on dependency syntax. We also describe a fully automatic method to add words to the FrameNet lexical database, which gives an improvement in the recall of frame detection.

This paper presents a design study aiming to compare a PMSM, EMSM and an SMSM solution in order to rind the most competitive one for the BAS application. The study is mainly based on FE calculations, which are contrasted with the results obtained from a common car alternator. The highlights are efficiency and torque characteristics, and the way they contribute to improve the most important feature

This report contains a verification method that could be applied when evaluating trail fire safety design in a performance-based code environment. The report is focused on design alternatives (i.e. design alternatives) where fire sprinkler systems have an important role. Three possible verification methods are proposed together with the procedure on how they could be applied in design. The covered

This report is dealing with row house fires and the variables that causes these fires. Statistics show that fires in row houses tend to have a greater risk of killing people and to spread across their homes compared to other kinds of residents. Several variables are examined through statistic analysis and case studies to get a picture of the most common causes of fires in row houses and what could

Currently many Swedish municipalities have big problems with increasing damage costs and difficulties in getting good insurance solutions. Therefore the purpose of this report is to give a proposal of a model for municipal safety management in Gothenburg. This has been achieved by studying statistics and by doing interviews concerning the safety culture in different municipal activities. The most

Investments in risk reduction are very complex with many factors that affect the overall profitability of the investment. Therefore, different models and approaches are used in the decision making process. An analysis of the problem is then made according to certain basic rules. When the risk situation is evaluated in this manner the decisions that are made are rational and consistent. By using th

Problem Until recent years, not enough focus has been placed on assuring the strategic fit of launched projects and multi-project management. Even though the situation is getting better, many companies still do not seem to get their project portfolio management right. At the same time research has shown that businesses that feature a systematic portfolio management process outperform the rest. To

During the last decades, market-oriented policies have entailed significant changes within the Swedish public sector. In Västra Götalandsregionen, primary care clinics for physiotherapy since 2014 get funding based on collected contact points. The points are generated by patients visiting the clinics. Furthermore, the physiotherapists working at the clinics are assigned a daily target number. The
