Abstract in UndeterminedContextThe key for effective problem prevention is detecting the causes of a problem that has occurred. Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured investigation of the problem to identify which underlying causes need to be fixed. The RCA method consists of three steps: target problem detection, root cause detection, and corrective action innovation. Its results can help with

The combination of features from the public and private sectors in jointly owned companies imposes challenges to the governance and control mechanisms of these organisations, which have been criticised for lacking accountability. Where there is fragmented ownership, the interests of different owners need to be coordinated. The aim of this article is to consider how such companies can be governed i

Från förbränning av industri- och hushållsavfall erhålls bland annat restprodukten slagg, vilket är bottenaskan från förbränningen. Varje år skapas stora volymer både i Sverige och i övriga Europa. Den naturliga processen karbonatisering, vilken involverar en reaktion mellan luftens koldioxid och kalcium i materialet, startar då slagg efter förbränning kommer i kontakt med luft. Karbonatiseringen From incineration of industrial- and household waste bottom ash is generated. A large volume of bottom ash is generated yearly in both Sweden and Europe. The natural carbonation process, which involves a reaction between carbon dioxide and calcium in the material, is initiated when the bottom ash reaches contact with air. The carbonation binds carbon dioxide to the bottom ash, decreases the pH and

Från avfall till bioetanol - en undersökning av bioetanolproduktion från djupströ Under de senaste 50 åren har befolkningen på vår planet fördubblats, vilket har lett till att energiförbrukningen har ökat drastiskt. En av de främsta bovarna är transportsektorn, som dessutom medför stora utsläpp av växthusgaser. Ett sätt att minimera dessa utsläpp är att använda sig av miljövänliga transportmedel For the year 2020, the European Union has set common goals to aim for regarding the environment. One of them being to reduce the green house gas (GHG) emissions by 20 percent. The world population is increasing, consequently increasing the demand for energy and food. Since the use of fossil sources is neither sustainable nor environmentally friendly, new techniques of meeting the energy demand nee

Den ökande globala temperaturen och dess förödande irreversibla effekter på jordens ekosystem är en av mänsklighetens största utmaningar. Den största bidragande faktorn till temperaturökningen är våra ökande utsläpp av växthusgaser, såsom koldioxid, och andra föroreningar. Metrologiska världsorganisationen har estimerat att vi kommer accelerera förbi en temperaturökning på 3 °C år 2100, om vi fortGlobal levels of carbon emissions are constantly rising causing irreversible damages to ecosystems. The heavy transport sector and the industrial sector are responsible for large amounts of the emissions on a yearly basis. Therefore, Power-to-X is presented as an alternative pathway for the production of industry standard chemical, in view of a green transition towards decarbonising emission-heavy

The proposed algorithm aims at helping diabetic patients which use multi-dose injection (MDI) therapy to determine the dose and time of insulin and glucose intakes to stabilize their blood glucose (BG) concentration. The objective is to spend most of the time in normal BG range (70-180 mg/dl). The control was done by minimizing the risk of hypo- and hyperglycemia over the doses and times of insuli

In recent years, researchers worldwide have become increasingly interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in the multilingual classroom. The paper aims to try to understand when and why teachers in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) schools code-switch in their classrooms. It analyses the methods and reasons for teachers’ code-switching in the SFI classroom. A case study was conducted by means of a

Surface physics play an outsized role in nanostructured electronic devices such as solar cells. Semiconductor nanowires are perfect candidates for advanced solar cells due to their outstanding light absorption properties and their flexibility in axially stacking materials of different doping and band gap. Due to nanowire geometry, however, their surfaces dominate device performance and at the same

In this paper we revisit positioning from Doppler measurements, using techniques from algebraic geometry to produce new theoretical insights and efficient localization algorithms. First, we give a full characterization of the problem, identifying for each problem their minimal configurations, that is the minimum number of receivers and transmitters to have a finite number of solutions. We also stu

I jordbrukslandskapet produceras en mängd ekosystemtjänster, där mat, foder och fiber kanske är de mest uppenbara. För att dessa försörjande tjänster skall kunna produceras på ett långsiktigt hållbart sätt krävs även en rad så kallade intermediära ekosystemtjänster, som kretslopp av näringsämnen, pollinering, naturlig kontroll av skadeinsekter och reglering av vattenflöden. Även om dessa ekosystem

This chapter aims to discuss the meaning and implication, in terms of international law, of the concept of permanence with accountability in the framework of the tenth Review Conference of the States party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and in the interval between this and the next Review Conference. After contextualizing the concept of permanence with accountabili

Bosonic strings can be discretized in terms of dynamically triangulatedrandom surfaces. We investigate the possibility of introducing fermionicdegrees of freedom on the surface in terms of Ising spins, which in twodimensions correspond to Majorana fermions. Critical properties of themodel are estimated using finite-size scaling methods.

How well can people identify semantic incongruities, which are often used in linguistic research and experimental psychology (e.g., Clifton, Staub, & Rayner, 2007)? Acceptability judgment tasks measure how natural a sentence sounds (e.g., Dąbrowska, 2010), and are often used with sentences with or without incongruities, but can these judgments be affected by expectation and bias? Two experimen

In comparison to other human cancer types, malignant melanoma exhibits the greatest amount of heterogeneity. After DNA-based detection of the BRAF V600E mutation in melanoma patients, targeted inhibitor treatment is the current recommendation. This approach, however, does not take the abundance of the therapeutic target, i.e., the B-raf V600E protein, into consideration. As shown by immunohistoche

Early detection of breast cancer is important to reduce morbidity and mortality. Access to breast imaging is limited in low- and middle-income countries compared to high-income countries. This contributes to advance-stage breast cancer presentation with poor survival. Pocket-sized portable ultrasound device, also known as point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), aided by decision support using deep learn

Self-adaptation provides a principled way to deal with change during operation. As more systems with strict goals require self-adaptation, the need for guarantees in self-adaptive systems is becoming a high-priority concern. Designing adaptive software using principles from control theory has been identified as one of the approaches to provide guarantees. However, current solutions can only handle
