Abstract in UndeterminedCash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) is the cash flow equivalent of Value-at-Risk (VaR), a measure widely used as the basis for risk management in financial institutions. Whereas VaR-based systems specify the maximum amount of total value a firm is expected to lose under most foreseeable conditions (for example, with a 99% confidence level), CFaR-based systems determine the maximum sho
A method has been developed that automatically constructs a crystallographic refinement force field (topology and parameter files) for any molecule from a theoretical frequency calculation. The approach has been tested on five proteins containing metal sites or non-standard inhibitors or coenzymes and it is shown that the structures are improved in various aspects.
Background: 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) has been proposed to improve preoperative staging in patients with bladder cancer subjected to radical cystectomy (RC). Objective: Our aim was to assess the accuracy of FDG-PET/CT for lymph node staging ascertained at the multidisciplinary tumour board compared to lymph node status in the surgical l

Chapter 1, ‘Introduction to A Research Agenda for Sustainable Consumption Governance’ by Oksana Mont sets the scene for the book by discussing sustainable consumption as a grand challenge. It identifies unsustainable consumption and production patterns and levels as one of the main contributing factors to the grand sustainability challenges. Reasons for failure to address unsustainable consumption
Semiconductor nanowires provide a versatile platform for fluorescence-based detection enabled by their high refractive index and waveguiding properties, which amplify excitation and emission from surface-bound fluorophores. Together with their large surface-to-volume ratio, these features enable enhanced and even single-molecule sensitivity.This thesis explores the use of gallium phosphide (GaP) a

Bioenergy derived from agricultural biomass can contribute to meeting the rising demand for renewable energy. To estimate the agricultural sector's potential to contribute to bioenergy, it is crucial to understand what motivates farmers to increase agricultural feedstock production sustainably. Through eight semi-structured interviews and online surveys with 174 farmers in southern Sweden, we expl
This article highlights the potential of degrowth as a transformative approach that can expand capacities necessary for socio-ecological sustainability. By addressing economic growth as a fundamental driver of unsustainability, degrowth offers a concrete pathway towards achieving sustainable outcomes. It calls for sustainability scientists to explicitly consider the role of economic growth, aligni
Java has proven to he a powerful language for software development. In this paper we show that it is also suitable for hardware compilation, making it an attractive language for embedded system development. Our compilation technique, which is presented here, is based on separating different aspects of the program and use dedicated and specialised optimisations and code generators for each aspect.
This thesis presents models and methods for feedback-based resource management for cyber-physical systems. Common for the scenarios considered are severe resource constraints, uncertain and time-varying conditions and the goal of enabling flexibility in systems design rather than restricting it. A brief survey on reservation-based scheduling, an important enabling technology for this thesis, is pr
Exploring emotional relationships between user and product is an important issue to adress in the design of t non-discriminating everyday products. Universal design is one approach among several, which the industrial designer can use when designing on the basis of on a non-discriminating philosophy. One way to achieve an integration of the user product relationship into the concept of universal de
