The inverse problem of estimating the impulse response from source and measurement signals is often of interest in various audio applications, but can become ill-posed if there is not enough information. Using regularization, one can impose prior physicality assumptions to the estimator

Popular Abstract in English Concrete is one of our most common building materials and is used both for buildings, bridges and other heavy structures. Typically, concrete structures are very durable, but sometimes they need to be strengthened. The reason may be cracking due to environmental effects, that a bridge is to be used for heavier traffic, new building codes, or damage resulting from earthqA 3D nonlinear finite element analysis modelling framework was developed for simulating the behaviour of beams retrofitted with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). The ABAQUS program was used for this purpose. Concrete was modelled using a plastic damage model. Steel bars were modelled as an elastic perfectly plastic material, with perfect bond between concrete and steel. A cohesive model was used for

Though much research in entrepreneurship has evaluated the role of personality traits in entrepreneurs, few studies have addressed the personality traits of entrepreneurship students. In this study we measure five key entrepreneurial personality traits; the need for achievement, perception of risk, locus of control, independence, and self-efficacy. This is accomplished using survey data from 31 en

In the past century, Sweden has seen vast developments in narrowing the gender earnings gap between men and women. Nevertheless the gap still remains, and has revealed patterns of stagnation in the recent decade. In the presence of a gender earnings gap there is an unequal distribution of economic power between men and women, which may lead to an inefficient resource allocation. Today there is a l

As a result of a scandal during the fall of 2017, where a famous producer was accused of having committed sex crimes, women who had been sexually harassed were asked to use #metoo in social medias with the purpose of highlighting the widespread occurrence of sexual harassment. The campaign grew into a modern popular movement, which in Sweden evolved into an appeal against sexual harassment at work

We investigate their creative processes, their thoughts on creativity and songwriting and the methods they use when composing. The informants share some of the challenges they face during the process and how to overcome them. Furthermore, we learn about factors enhancing the songwriting a
