We investigated whether sign-naïve learners can infer and learn the meaning of signs after minimal exposure to continuous, naturalistic input in the form of a weather forecast in Swedish Sign Language. Participants were L1-English adults. Two experimental groups watched the forecast once (N=40) or twice (N=42); a control group did not (N=42). Participants were then asked to assign meaning to 22 ta
Background: Studies on risk factors for severe COVID-19 in people of working age have generally not included non-working persons or established population attributable fractions (PAFs) for occupational and other factors. Objectives: We describe the effect of job-related, sociodemographic, and other exposures on the incidence, relative risks and PAFs of severe COVID-19 in individuals aged 18–64. Me
Introduction: Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) are severe complications to vaginal births with potentially serious long-term consequences and large impact on quality of life. The aim was to determine risk and protective factors for OASIS. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective register-based observational study. A cohort of 988 988 singleton term deliveries 2005–2016 in Sweden
Background: Exposure to many contacts is the main risk factor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, while risk of serious disease and death is chiefly determined by old age and comorbidities. Relative and population-attributable fractions (PAFs) of multiple medical and social exposures for COVID-19 outcomes have not been evaluated among older adults. Objective
Aim: Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long-lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from movements of six sea turtle species reveals marine connectivity and can help prioritize conservation efforts. Location: Global. Methods: We collated telemetry data from 1235 individuals and reviewed the literature to determine ou
Background: Selection and selection bias are terms that lack consistent definitions and have varying meaning and usage across disciplines. There is also confusion in current definitions between underlying mechanisms that lead to selection and their consequences. Consequences of selection on study validity must be judged on a case-by-case basis depending on research question, study design and analy
Jokkmokks kommun har ända sedan 1960-talet haft en negativ befolkningsutveckling. Nu finns det i kommunen planer på att etablera en gruvverksamhet. Detta skulle kunna innebära nya möjligheter för kommunen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur Jokkmokks kommun på bästa sätt ska tillgodogöra sig de möjliga positiva samhällseffekter som en gruvetablering kan medföra. De frågor som ställs är: Vad k
Uppsatsen undersöker #MeToo som social rörelse med betoning på den deliberativa processen och hur medborgarengagemang skapas genom mobilisering och användning av hashtagen #MeToo. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur sociala medier kan vara ett verktyg för politisk kommunikation och hur politisk mobilisering sker i och med den medieteknologiska utvecklingen. Uppsatsen bygger på en fallstu
I denna uppsats undersöks svensk rätts förståelse av prostitution och surrogatmödraskap ur ett radikalfeministiskt perspektiv. Mot bakgrund av den radikalfeministiska utgångspunkten att prostitution och surrogatmödraskap är jämförbara med varandra, granskar uppsatsen hur en radikalfeministisk diskurs tar sig uttryck i SOU 1995:15 och SOU 2016:11. Genom viss rättsdogmatik, men framför allt genom atThis essay examines the understanding of prostitution and surrogacy within Swedish law, from a radical feminist perspective. Given the radical feminist standpoint that prostitution and surrogacy are phenomena comparable with each other, the essay analyzes how a radical feminist discourse is conveyed within two official reports of the Swedish government: SOU 1995:15 and SOU 2016:11. By not primaril
Rätten till domstolsprövning är en grundläggande rättighet som enligt art. 6.1 EKMR ska gälla samtliga mål som rör den enskildes civila rättigheter. I Sverige är detta gällande rätt sedan EKMR:s inkorporerande i svensk lag i och med en lagändring av 2 kap. RF. Det framgår i dagsläget genom 2 kap. 19 § RF att ingen författning får stiftas i strid mot EKMR. I FL finns även en allmän bestämmelse om öThe right to judicial review is a fundamental right which according to art. 6.1 ECHR shall apply to all cases concerning an individual's civil rights. In Sweden, this is established law since the ECHR's incorporation into Swedish law with a change of the chapter two in The Instrument of Government. It states that no law may be enacted in violation of the ECHR. In The Administrative Procedu
E.ON har utkontrakterat en stor del av deras dagliga verksamhet till solcellsinstallatörer. Denna outsourcing-strategi har lett till brist på kunskap över hur hela solcellsinstallationen utförs och vad det finns för förbättringsområden i den. Detta examensarbete har kartlagt hela processen i detalj för att samla in kunskap och förståelse. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla ett förslagProcess improvement work is commonly used in most businesses. Much of the current theory in process improvement work is based on the typical manufacturing processes where each and every second matters. What do you do if you don’t work at a manufacturing company or if you don’t have well measured processes? Turns out there’s still a lot that your company can start to improve.
I denna avhandling undersöks opinionsundersökningens introduktion i Sverige under mitten av 1900-talet. Fokus ligger på Svenska Gallupinstitutet AB, som 1941 etablerades som landets första opinionsinstitut och som introducerade den urvalsbaserade enkätundersökningen som ett nytt medium genom vilket den allmänna opinionen kunde representeras. De hade i princip monopol på området till 1950-talets miThis thesis examines the introduction and impact of opinion polling in Sweden during the mid-twentieth century, focusing on the activities of the Swedish Gallup Institute (Svenska Gallupinstitutet). Established in 1941 as the country’s first polling organization, the institute introduced sample surveys as a new means of representing public opinion and had a near-monopoly on polling until its decli
In this chapter, we explore mathematical tools for assessing the stability, convergence, and boundedness of trajectories in generally nonlinear dynamical systems. We delve into the seminal theorems introduced by A. Lyapunov which are primarily concerned with the stability of equilibrium points. The chapter progresses to discuss the extension of Lyapunov's Theory, due to LaSalle, aimed at assessing

A decentralized strategy for object transportation is presented, assuming that the object is grasped by a team of N cooperative manipulators. The proposed strategy consists of two steps. First, each robot estimates the wrenches applied to the object by all the others robots, even without all-to-all communication. Second, an admittance control scheme is used to limit internal wrenches, preventing e
This paper presents a method for online estimation of contact properties during in-hand sliding manipulation with a parallel gripper. We estimate the static and Coulomb friction as well as the contact radius from tactile measurements of contact forces and sliding velocities. The method is validated in both simulation and real-world experiments. Furthermore, we propose a heuristic to deal with fast
