This Master thesis work was performed in Ericsson AB, Lund. It studies and validates two classes of algorithms to be used in mm-wave massive MIMO antenna arrays, for their use in the future 5G mobile communication systems. The first class of algorithms relates to the calibration of the transceiver (TRX) chains responses of the antenna array and makes use of the antenna array mutual coupling, which
Asylärendena kännetecknas av vissa unika särdrag. Till dessa kan räknas den enskildes ofta prekära situation, och att beslutsfattaren ska ta ställning till huruvida den sökande befinner sig i en situation i vilken denne är berättigad internationellt skydd undan förföljelser eller inte. Även maktförhållandet parterna emellan stärker behovet av försiktighet från beslutsfattarens sida. För att hanterThe asylum process is characterised by certain unique features. Amongst these are the precarious situation of the applicant, and the fact that the decision maker is to decide whether or not the applicant is in a situation that entitles him or her to international protection. The balance of power between the two parties is also a key feature that strengthens the need of caution by the decision make
År 2020 anger 212 av 286 kommuner i Sverige att de har ett underskott på bostäder i kommunen som helhet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och bostadsbeståndet hänger inte med. I studien syftar bostadsbristen till definitionen som är skillnaden mellan vad som kollektivt uppfattas som en godtagbar bostadssituation och det faktiska läget på marknaden. Situationer som inte kollektivt anses vara godtagbara bosThe housing responsibility in Sweden is primarily controlled by the municipalities. The municipalities in Sweden have a monopoly on controlling land use with detailed development plans. The population rises every day and the majority of the Swedish municipalities confirms having lack of housing. This study has been made in order to investigate how five municipalities work with their housing respon
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur fem körledare arbetar med pojkar i kör och hur de väcker deras intresse för körsång. Hur körledarna hanterar pojkars röster när de kommer i målbrottet, hur de ser på vår framtid med pojkar i kör och om det har betydelse om det är en kvinnlig eller manlig körledare. Som metod har jag använt kvalitativa och strukturerade intervjuer med körledare som har Title: ”Let’s sing it boys!”: A study of the choir leaders’ methods in arousing and keeping boys’ interest in choir singing. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how five different choir leaders work with boys in choirs and how they arouse the boys’ interest in choir singing. Furthermore, how they cope with the young male voice when reached adolescence and how the leaders view the future o
DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is
The autonomic nerve supply of the guinea-pig ovary was investigated by a combination of light- and electron microscopy. At the light-microscopic level, adrenergic fibres were identified due to their formaldehyde-induced fluorescence. In addition, the ovary contained acetylcholinesterase-positive fibres. In all parts of the ovary, the adrenergic fibres were most numerous. At the ultrastructural lev
The capacity of pathogenic microorganisms to adhere to host cells and avoid clearance by the host immune system is the initial and most decisive step leading to infections. Bacteria have developed different strategies to attach to diverse host surface structures. One important strategy is the adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (e.g., collagen, fibronectin, laminin) that are highly abu
This Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) on Innovation-related Procurement was conducted under the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility run by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation. The 15 countries that participated were: Austria, Belgium - Brussels Region, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden an
In this study, the processes behind observed new particle formation (NPF) events and subsequent organic-dominated particle growth at the Pallas Atmosphere-Ecosystem Supersite in Northern Finland are explored with the one-dimensional column trajectory model ADCHEM. The modeled sub-micron particle mass is up to ∼75 % composed of SOA formed from highly oxidized multifunctional organic molecules (HOMs
Introduction Childhood allergic diseases may prevent affected children from achieving their academic potential. Potential mechanisms include absence from school due to illness and medical appointments. Experience of symptoms in classes or leisure time, and stigma associated with visible signs and symptoms, including skin disease, requirements for medication during school time or the need for speci
Purpose of review To review the findings and methodological strengths and limitations of studies of breathlessness using population-based or routinely collected data, including the novel methodology of the registry-based randomized controlled trial (R-RCT). Recent findings Breathlessness severe enough to restrict activity is common and increases in the last months of life both among elderly in the
The web of relationships between wellbeing and the environments in which people live has long been recognized. However, relatively little research has been conducted about end-of-life surroundings from the perspective of the dying person. In this study, we investigate which aspects of their surroundings are particularly meaningful for the people inhabiting them in the last phases of life, based on
BACKGROUND While there is ample evidence for health risks associated with heat and other extreme weather events today, little is known about the impact of weather patterns on population health in preindustrial societies.OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of weather patterns on population health in Sweden before and during industrialization.METHODSWe obtained records of monthly mortality and of mon
Purpose. Testing a newly developed Swedish version of the Body Image and Relationship Scale (BIRS) for test-retest reliability, convergent validity and inter-item analysis in a Swedish context for breast cancer survivors. Methods. A Swedish BIRS version, translation involving the input of experts and breast cancer survivors, with 41 items (BIRS-S) and the Short Form 36 (SF-36) were sent to a sampl
Crystals of [Pt{(CH3)2S}4](CF3SO3)2, M(r) = 741.76, and [Pt(C4H8OS)4](CF3SO3)2.H2O, M(r) = 927.93, were prepared by dissolution of platinum(II) hydroxide in solutions of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in dimethyl sulfide and 1,4-thioxane, respectively. The structures were determined from X-ray intensity data (Mo K-alpha, lambda = 0.7107 angstrom) collected at room temperature with a CAD-4 diffracto
