BACKGROUND: – The arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) risk calculator estimates the risk of incident sustained ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and performs well in ARVC populations meeting 2010 Task Force Criteria. However, the calculator includes no measure of left ventricular (LV) structure and function, while late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance shows p
Detection of toxic hexavalent chromium in soil, groundwater, industrial effluent, etc., is of significant interest. We demonstrate the electrochemical detection of Cr(VI) using a surface-engineered mesoporous carbon-based material. The mesoporous carbon-based material is obtained by the controlled pyrolysis of a homogenous mixture of Fe and Co complexes of hydrolyzed collagen. The as-synthesized m
BackgroundTo enable immunotherapy for ovarian cancers, precision targets for immune priming as well as patient stratification approaches are required. The tumor microenvironment in particularly the rare subtypes of low-grade serous, mucinous, clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancer, remains poorly characterized, and these tumors have been largely ignored in the immuno-oncology setting.MethodsWe
This study evaluates the performance and biofilm-mediated flux stabilization of a coupled up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and gravity-driven membrane (GDM) system equipped with electrospun nanofiber membranes (ESN) for decentralized wastewater treatment. The system was operated under fully anaerobic conditions at 37 °C over three different hydraulic retention times (HRTs: 24, 16, a
Titel: Har graden av informationsasymmetri inom ett bolag betydelse för analytikers pricksäkerhet? Slutseminarie: 03/06/2019 Kurs: Examensarbete i finansiering på kandidatnivå, 15 hp Författare: Sebastian Petersson, Fred Berntson och Erik Norman Handledare: Håkan Jankensgård Nyckelord: Aktieanalytiker, riktkurs, informationsasymmetri, felprognos, rekommendation Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka om
The phenomenon of global warming has become a fact, however; the uncertainty is about the magnitude and acceleration of its manifestations. Global mean sea level rise is one of the results induced by global warming and is happening with an undetectable accelerated pace. The world international organizations and governments are devoting efforts and initiatives in a trial to manage global warming in
Den här uppsatsen undersöker den nya Spellagen (2018:1138) och dess tillämpning på loot boxes i dataspel. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka till vilken mån som den svenska lagstiftningen idag tillhandahåller ett effektivt konsumentskydd vid användningen av loot boxes. Detta kommer att göras genom en rättsdogmatisk utredning av den svenska lagstiftningen idag samt en komparativ jämförelse med aThis essay examines the new swedish gambling law (2018:1138) and its application on loot boxes within videogames. The purpose of the essay is to examine to what degree the swedish laws gives an effective consumer protection. This will be done through a study of the swedish law and its application today, aswell as a comparative part with other countries. The first part of the essay examines what ru
In contemporary Sweden, welfare professionals are mobilising to signal that they lack the preconditions to carry out their work in line with the politically stated mission and professional ethics. Following a seminar in which welfare professionals shared their views on the working conditions, this study explores action strategies for welfare professionals who seek to influence the policy agenda. T
This thesis studies the use of GIS applications to derive adjustment figures for the terrain factor in property valuation tasks. It aims at suggesting a quantitative approach alternative to evaluate the terrain factor as opposed to traditional methods and current industry practices where terrain is qualitatively judged based on visual observation at site and subjected to individual opinion. In th
Due to expanding cities and increasing population infrastructure needs to expand in a safe and sustainable way with little effect on the environment and economy. Years of urbanization doesn’t make it easy, no free spaces are available and culture marked buildings are protected. The only alternative left is to construct in layers. Roads and other kinds of infrastructure beneath ground level is ther
The soot emissions from diesel engines are much higher in transient operation than during steady state operation. In this thesis, a method for estimating the soot mass flow emission in transient drive cycles is presented. The proposed method uses stationary emission maps in combination with step responses. Bandpass filters are used to filter the engine torque/power to provide transient detection a
This thesis evaluates whether it is possible to use conjunctural indices from Statistics Sweden (Statistiska Centralbyrån) in order to improve the sales predictions at a Swedish gas company. For this purpose sales data for three of the main gases are gathered from the year 1995 and forth. In the first step, this data is used to create ARX and State Space models. Sales predictions are made from the
Friction is present in all mechanical systems and causes a wide range of problems for control. The development of friction models and methods to account for friction in control has been an active research area for many years. A promising friction model that is capable of describing a wide array of observed friction phenomena is the LuGre model. This thesis deals with the application of friction co
In a wireless communication system, the channel is ever changing due to multipath properties such as excess delays and constructive and destructive interference. In a step to optimize system performance, it would be beneficial to have access to channel state information of both present subchannels' future development and subchannels outside the currently used frequency interval. In this thesis
The demand of today for advanced manufactured parts with high precision is due to the increasing complexity of technologies. The parts are typically made by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, which are expensive and comparably big. By using industrial robots that are significantly cheaper, reduced costs can be achieved, which is particularly beneficial for small and medium enterprises. Rob
Bakgrund: Tilliten för livsmedelsbranschen och således köttbranschen har blivit ifrågasatt av konsumenter de senaste årtiondena på grund av olika redlighetsfusk, sjukdomsutbrott och misskötta djur. Konsumenter värderar kvalitetsattribut som säkerhet och etiska aspekter allt mer. Bevis som stödjer dessa värderingar kallas tillitsattribut, dessa går inte att utvärdera ens efter konsumtion. För köttb
