When designing a new basic course in statistics for students in Environmental Engineering at Lund University, our aim was that assessment should be an integral part of the course. We found that there were several factors to be considered, such as how the assessment should be in line with the goals of the course and with the teaching method. One piece of the assessment is a major project and we dis

Antibody-based microarrays are among the new, rapidly emerging technologies within the field of proteomics that has the potential to evolve into a key proteomic research tool, providing novel means to perform early diagnostics, identify biomarkers and gain insights into disease biology. The aim of this thesis, based on five original papers, was to develop antibody microarrays based on human recom

This study investigates the relationship between prosody and information/discourse structure in spon- taneous spoken folk tales in the tonal Mon-Khmer language Northern Kammu, a language that behaves as a typical phrase language where available boun- dary tones are enhanced to mark information struc- turing. Topic is always placed before Comment by syntactic movement if necessary. There is a proso

Using the concepts of social norms and social reality, this chapter explores why legal reforms that aimed to facilitate the formalization of informal workers have largely failed to influence vulnerable groups in developing countries. It explores the use of legal reforms in order to achieve development and poverty reduction. Using empirical material from a qualitative study conducted in Colombia am

This paper presents theory and algorithms for covariance analysis and stochastic realization without any minimality condition imposed. Also without any minimality conditions, we show that several properties of covariance factorization and positive realness hold. The results are significant for validation in system identification of state-space models from finite input-output sequences. Using the R

This paper describes the development of two test formats, COLLEX and COLLMATCH, measuring receptive recognition knowledge of English verb +NP collocations, and reports findings from pilots and initial test administrations involving Swedish upper-secondaryschool and university level learners. Administrations of the test formats produced highly reliable scores and the performance of native speakers

A 12-bit 125-MHz digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for communication application is designed. It is based on current-steering segmented architecture and modified Q2 random walk switching scheme to obtain 12-bit accuracy. A new voltage swing reduced driver (VSRD) is implemented to promote the dynamic performance. The DAC uses 0.18 µm 1.8 V standard digital CMOS technology. The die area (core) is 2.

A subgroup of patients suffering from primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) display unexplained low levels of complement components C3 and/or C4 which is associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a major fluid-phase complement inhibitor which can influence C4 and C3 levels. Therefore we analysed C4BP levels in the sera of patients with pSS to better underst

All Swedish new-born infants were screened for alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency in 1972-74. The cohort of 127 PiZZ and 54 PiSZ individuals has been followed-up regularly.
