Although the research on the design of heterogeneous concurrent systems has a long and rich history, a unified design methodology and tool support have not emerged so far. Therefore, the creation of such systems remains a difficult, time-consuming and error-prone process. The absence of principled support for system evaluation and optimization at high level of abstraction makes the quality of the

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with inflammatory lesions in the brain and spinal cord. The detection of such inflammatory lesions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important in the consideration of the diagnosis and differential diagnoses of MS, as well as in the monitoring of disease activity and predicting treatment efficacy. Although there is strong evidence supporting the use of

Skiftande vårdkvalité hotar patientsäkerheten inom ambulanssjukvården. Nu måste regeringen och Socialstyrelsen skapa nationella riktlinjer, skriver Nätverket för utbildning av ambulanssjuksköterskor .

Objective To estimate the additional societal costs for people living with dementia (PwD) with agitation in home care (HC) and institutional long-term care (ILTC) settings in 8 European countries. Design Cross-sectional data from the RightTimePlaceCare cohort. Setting HC and ILTC settings from 8 European countries (Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and England). Partic

Background: People with psychosis have a reduced life expectancy of 10-20years, largely due to cardiovascular disease. This trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of a modular health promotion intervention (IMPaCT Therapy) in improving health and reducing cardiovascular risk in psychosis. Methods: A multicentre, two arm, parallel cluster RCT was conducted across five UK mental health NHS trust

Ov Cristian Norocels artikel diskuterar den svenska högerradikala populismenutifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. Han kartlägger Sverigedemokraternas omtolkningar av den nationella metaforen om ”det svenska folkhemmet” och analyserar konstruktionen av maskuliniteter inom svensk högerradikal populism. Norocel för fram en specifik tolkning av den begreppsliga metaforteorin, en tolkning som innefattar

The genetic basis of bird migration has been the focus of several studies. Two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) follow different migratory routes to wintering grounds in Africa. Their breeding populations overlap in contact areas or “migratory divides” located in central Scandinavia and in eastern Poland. Earlier analyses demonstrated

The Scanian Economic-Demographic Database (SEDD) has been assembled by the Centre for Economic Demography (CED), Lund University. It contains information about the demographic and economic conditions of people that have lived in 5 parishes in Scania from the 17th century until the present. The SEDD database has been integrated with geographic data, which are digitized from four independent histori

The principle of force feedback is to design a sensor as a feedback system where the action of the measured variable is compensated by a force generated by feedback. Force feedback has contributed significantly to improve the quality of sensors. A characteristic feature of MEMS devices is that they are subject to random disturbances, such as Brownian motion, Johnson-Nyquist noise, and tunneling no

To provide for a high QoS in a cellular network, each call should be assigned to its preferred cell and priority given to already ongoing calls. Herein, a combined speed-sensitive layer selection method and dynamic guard channel scheme, called CLARR, for use in hierarchical networks, is introduced. To reduce the complexity, partially the same speed estimation and measurement procedures are applied

The Earthshine telescope project is a collaborative effort between Lund Observatory (LO) in Sweden and The Institute of Meteorology in Demark (DMI) with the purpose of constructing one or more robotic telescopes to record the albedo of the Earth over a long time. The objective is to measure long-term development of the global cloud coverage and reflectivity for climate modeling. A 1% change in the

Execution trace graph analysis of dataflow programs has been demonstrated to be an effective way for exploring and optimizing the design space of many core applications. In this work a novel transformation from the execution trace graph to an event driven linear system is proposed. It is also illustrated how the trace space of can be effectively reduced and well known system control techniques can

Brandskum som innehåller per- och polyfluorerade ämnen (PFAS), på engelska Aqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), är en av de främsta källorna till föroreningarna i Sverige. Grundvattenförorening orsakat av användandet av AFFF under brandövningar har undersökts i Kallinge, Blekinge. I området har grundvattnet använts som råvatten vilket resulterat i förhöjda halter av PFAS i dricksvattnet. Liknande faAqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) containing Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) is one of the major sources of groundwater contamination in Sweden. Groundwater contamination caused by the use of AFFF in correlation to fire training events was investigated in Kallinge, Sweden. At the site groundwater was previously used as a drinking water source consequently affecting the inhabit
