The principle of force feedback is to design a sensor as a feedback system where the action of the measured variable is compensated by a force generated by feedback. Force feedback has contributed significantly to improve the quality of sensors. A characteristic feature of MEMS devices is that they are subject to random disturbances, such as Brownian motion, Johnson-Nyquist noise, and tunneling no
The Scanian Economic-Demographic Database (SEDD) has been assembled by the Centre for Economic Demography (CED), Lund University. It contains information about the demographic and economic conditions of people that have lived in 5 parishes in Scania from the 17th century until the present. The SEDD database has been integrated with geographic data, which are digitized from four independent histori
A moral Historiography without Moralism. Critical views on modern Church History Efforts for realism without moral judgments have identified morals with present law. This leads to positivistic positions, where moral questions are being answered with references to historical legal situations only, without moral implications. With the political changes 1989–1990 a change in historiography followed.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det genomgående temat i avhandlingen är hur handeln mellan den Europeiska Unionen (EU) och utvecklingsländer kan öka. Två olika policyalternativ utvärderas: så kallade handelspreferenser samt förenklingar av handelsprocedurer. Handelspreferenser innebär i sin enklaste form att höginkomstländer kräver lägre tullar på importvaror somThe main theme of the thesis is how to increase trade between the European Union (EU) and developing countries. Two available policy options are assessed: trade preferences and trade facilitation. Chapter 1 offers a broad discussion of these policies, and concludes that while trade preferences, which once dominated North-South trade relations, are at a risk of becoming obsolete, trade facilitation
Execution trace graph analysis of dataflow programs has been demonstrated to be an effective way for exploring and optimizing the design space of many core applications. In this work a novel transformation from the execution trace graph to an event driven linear system is proposed. It is also illustrated how the trace space of can be effectively reduced and well known system control techniques can
Ov Cristian Norocels artikel diskuterar den svenska högerradikala populismenutifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. Han kartlägger Sverigedemokraternas omtolkningar av den nationella metaforen om ”det svenska folkhemmet” och analyserar konstruktionen av maskuliniteter inom svensk högerradikal populism. Norocel för fram en specifik tolkning av den begreppsliga metaforteorin, en tolkning som innefattar
A Dark Matter Science Project is being developed in the context of the ESCAPE project. The goal of this ESCAPE Science Project is to highlight the synergies between different communities and experiments searching for dark matter by producing new results and making the necessary data and software tools fully available, in particular focusing on data management, data analysis and computing. As part
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the emotional well-being of expecting mothers. Sweden's unique strategy for managing COVID-19 involved no national lockdown. Emphasis was instead placed on limiting crowding and asking citizens to practice social distancing measures.AIM: To gain a deeper understanding of how women not infected by SARS-CoV-2 experienced pregnancy during
Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease with a close association between incidence and mortality. First-line (FL) palliative chemotherapy prolongs survival and alleviates cancer-related symptoms. However, the survival benefit of second-line (SL) treatment is uncertain, as studies fail to consistently show prolonged survival for any given SL treatment, and in the absence of progn
The genetic basis of bird migration has been the focus of several studies. Two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) follow different migratory routes to wintering grounds in Africa. Their breeding populations overlap in contact areas or “migratory divides” located in central Scandinavia and in eastern Poland. Earlier analyses demonstrated
The year 2018 saw the rise of a new global youth movement, Fridays for Future. The organization underlines the importance of personal accountability for greenhouse gas emissions, specifically in the context of air travel. This position is in stark contrast to views associating aeromobility with status. Celebrities in particular maintain personal brands based on frequent flying. This paper assesses
Quantum annealing is a promising approach for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Folding a protein sequence into its minimum-energy structure represents such a problem. For testing new algorithms and technologies for this task, the minimal lattice-based [hydrophobic (H) or polar (P) beads] HP model is well suited, as it represents a considerable challenge desp
Prior research has shown that companies in various industrial contexts need to achieve both exploitation of current knowledge and technologies to make profits today, and exploration of new knowledge and technologies to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for tomorrow’s demands. The capacity to achieve both exploration and exploitation is especially problematic in project based organizations d
Popular Abstract in Swedish Brosk bekläder våra leder och förser dem med en slät yta vilket förhindrar en direkt ben mot ben kontakt. Det fungerar också som stötdämpare i belastade leder och ger glidytan mycket låg friktion. Vatten hålls kvar i broskets matrix på grund av den negativt laddade proteogykanen Aggrecan vilken i sin tur hålls kvar i ett nätverk av kollagenfibrer. När en led belastas prThe cartilage matrix is made up of a fibrillar meshwork comprising type II collagen and other associated proteins. One main function of this network is to retain the large aggregating proteoglycan, aggrecan, a vital component in the regulation of fluid flux in cartilage. In disease such as osteoarthritis, the breakdown of the collagen network appears to be the final step in destruction of cartilag
Trafikbullers inverkan på sömnen har undersökts medelst EEG-, EOG- och EMG-registreringar på sju unga män (21-27 år) och sex äldre män (63-74 år) i deras vanliga hemmiljö längs hårt trafikerade vägar (trafikintensitet cirka 450 fordonspassager med toppbullernivå överstigande 40 dB (A) per natt). Effekten av dämpning (cirka 10 dB (A)) av inomhusbullret genom montering av ljudisolerande plattor i fö
