Regelverket rörande myndigheters handläggningstider är, där det ens existerar, fragmenterat och spritt över ett stort antal lagar. De generella reglerna i 7 § förvaltningslagen har mer av en målsättningskaraktär. Den stora spridningen av reglerna får till resultat att övergripande förändringar, exempelvis ett införande av dröjsmålstalan, får svåröverskådliga effekter. Om en samlad översyn gör i sa
This thesis consists of five papers concerned with the modeling of stochastic signals, as well as deterministic signals in stochastic noise, exhibiting different kinds of structure. This structure is manifested as the existence of finite-dimensional parameterizations, and/or in the geometry of the signals' spectral representations. The two first papers of the thesis, Papers A and B, consider the m
Background: Limited scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in elderly with comorbidities. Aim: To explore patient-related factors and outcomes in patients ≥75 years with diabetes and a foot ulcer. Method: Sub-analysis of consecutively presenting patients ≥75 years (N = 1008) from a previous study on 2,480 patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated in a multidiscipl
We present a mathematical model for the simulation of the development of an outbreak of COVID-19 in a slum area under different interventions. Instead of representing interventions as modulations of the parameters of a free running epidemic we introduce a model structure that accounts for the actions but does not assume the results. The disease is modelled in terms of the progression of viremia re
The chapter examines the flourishing hagiographical production during the Macedonian age, a period marked by intense rewriting of earlier Greek hagiography. This rewriting culminated in the Metaphrastic menologion, compiled by Symeon Metaphrastes in the late tenth century. Following the end of the iconoclastic controversy until Symeon, a clear progression is attested from an initial monastic inter
Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a promising service for the Internet of Things (IoT), providing a cost-effective and sustainable solution to deploy so-called energy-neutral devices on a massive scale. The power received at the device side from a conventional transmit antenna with a physically small aperture decays rapidly with the distance. New opportunities arise from the transition from convent
The unquenchable thirst for bandwidth to support next-generation wireless systems is increasingly bringing D-band into the spotlight. This work proposes a scalable D-band patch antenna that features both coplanar and stacked parasitic patch structures. By leveraging inter-patch coupling, different coplanar parasitic elements are excited across different frequency bands, enabling multi-mode operati
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, are major contributors to maternal morbidity. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of metabolomics to predict preeclampsia and gestational hypertension from urine and serum samples in early pregnancy, and elucidate the metabolic changes related to the diseases. Metabolic profiles were obtained by nuclear magnetic resonanc
This study attempts to test the hypothesis that there existed a peculiar variety of Greek which was used for certain purposes by Jewish and Christian writers in the context of the synagogue. It is argued that the origin of this variety was the translation Greek of the Pentateuch, and the background for the hypothesis is the polyglossic nature of the Greek language, i.e., several varieties were use
Experiments were performed to define quantitatively the substrate (K(+) and Cl(-)) dependence of the transport function (production of equally large and oppositely directed K(+)and Cl(-) flows/currents) of an earlier (Theander et al., 1999) identified electroneutral K-Cl cotransporter in the slowly adapting stretch receptor neurone of the European lobster. The experiments were based on microelectr
This thesis deals with the development of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) in order to improve the economy of the softwood-to-ethanol process. The effect of process stream recirculation on ethanol production from steam-pretreated softwood based on SSF was investigated for two process cases. In the first case, part of the stillage stream after distillation was recycled and in th
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the distribution of suicide during the months of the year and the days of the week in severe depression. A total of 1206 in-patients rated at discharge from the Department of Psychiatry, Lund, Sweden, on a multiaxial diagnostic schedule received the diagnosis severe depression/melancholia between 1956 to 1969. When followed up to 1998, a total of
Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and a synchronizer of many physiological processes. Alteration in melatonin signaling has been reported in a broad range of diseases, but little is known about the genetic variability of this pathway in humans. Here, we sequenced all the genes of the melatonin pathway -AA-NAT, ASMT, MTNR1A, MTNR1B and GPR50 - in 321 individuals from Sweden including 101 patients
X-ray examinations of the pelvis and the urinary tract are frequent examinations of children, in which a large part of the trunk is irradiated. The irradiated volume contains many of the most radiation sensitive organs and tissues. The absorbed dose to children during the examination was estimated from measurements with a dose-area product meter and thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLDs). Entrance su
A low-latency and area-efficient FFT/IFFT scheme is presented. The main idea is to utilize OFDM guard bands to reduce the operation counts and processing time, which results in 42% latency reduction compared to the reported pipelined schemes. To realize this idea, a modified pipelined architecture and an efficient data scheduling scheme are proposed. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is scala
We built machine learning and image analysis tools in order to forecast winter wheat yield based on a rich multi dimensional tensor of agricultural information spanning different scales. This information consists of satellite multi-band images, local soil samples obtained from national databases, local weather as well as field data from 23 farms cultivating winter wheat in southern Sweden. This is
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology holds the potential to revolutionize head-mounted displays (HMDs) by enabling high-speed wireless communication with nearby processing nodes, where complex video rendering can take place. However, the sparse angular profile of mmWave channels, coupled with the narrow field of view (FoV) of patch-antenna arrays and frequent HMD rotation, can lead to poor performa
