In this report slow frequency-hopping systems are analyzed with respect to the probability of successful transmission of packets, and with respect to the throughput. It is assumed that collisions result in a loss of all information contained in the colliding packets, irrespective of the distance between the units of the system. Units transmit packets of different types with a certain probability,
We present a method for performing quantum state holography, with which we completely characterize the amplitude and phase of an attosecond electron wave packet. Our approach is an extension of a recent publication [J. Mauritsson et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 053001 (2010)] in which we demonstrated experimentally that the energies and amplitudes of an attosecond electron wave packet can be charact
Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är ett tillstånd som definieras av låg benmassa och ett tillstånd som ökar med stigande ålder. Sjukdomen i sig är symptomfri men ökar risken för frakturer. Frakturer i kota, axel, handled, bäcken, och höft efter 50 års ålder är ofta förknippade med osteoporos och ca 70 000 sådana frakturer inträffar årligen i Sverige. Även artros (ledsvikt) i höfPartly due to an ageing population, the number of osteoporosis-related fractures and osteoarthritis (OA)-related hip and knee arthroplasty procedures is increasing. The individual suffering and the burden on society for these conditions is immense. Genetic contribution for the variance in bone mineral density (BMD) is estimated at around 60–80%, and for OA 50%, leaving a considerable proportion to
We present a method for determining a temperature differential across a quantum dot. If the device has a transmission function with sufficiently spaced resonant energies, then one can distinguish electrons which have tunneled from the hot lead, and those which have tunneled from the cold lead. By measuring the thermocurrent as the electrochemical potential is swept through a resonant energy level,
The 17th September 2001 the distributor Schenker started to cooperate with the computer systems manufacturer Dell to deliver Dell's products to the Nordic market. In the beginning of a new cooperation new processes are formed and they are often developed to solve the local, immediate problems without considering the overall picture. In the distribution network from Dell's plants in Ire
Straffrätten har tidigare varit inriktad huvudsakligen på vedergällning efter förtjänst. Numera är dock prevention ett alltmer dominerande inslag som genomsyrar hela rättsapparaten. Brott och skada ska i största möjliga utsträckning förebyggas, både på polisiär nivå och lagstiftningsnivå. Uppsatsen tar sikte på självständiga kriminaliseringar av gärningar som i sig själva inte innebär någon skada,The Swedish Criminal Law has traditionally been based on retribution. In modern times, however, it seems that prevention has been given a much larger role in the Criminal Justice System. This essay discusses crimes that do not cause any harm themselves, but where the criminalization aims at preventing that serious harm occurs at a later stage. Three Swedish crimes have been selected as examples: c
A dynamical model for traffic networks is proposed and analyzed. In the traffic network, the transportation demands are considered as multi-commodity flows where each commodity has a unique destination. The network is modeled by a multigraph where at each node each commodity splits among the outgoing links in a way such that the drivers are more likely to avoid a road when the density on it increa
Ett språk är i ständig förändring, nya verb och uttryck myntas hela tiden. Ett språk lånar även ord från andra språk, anledningarna kan vara olika. I denna uppsats undersöks fyra engelska ord (appeal, competitor, design, target) som numera även finns i italienarnas vokabulär. Frågan är: hur används dessa ord i italienskan? Undersökningen har gjorts via ett italienskt corpus och det framgår att des
Trots tydlig rättspraxis och en stark politisk vilja att säkra rätten för varje enskild eller företag som lidit skada vid brott mot EU:s konkurrensregler – i synnerhet artiklarna 101 och 102 Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt (EUF) - att kunna söka kompensation, så har det konkurrensrättsliga skadeståndet inte fått något större genomslag. Europakommissionen (”Kommissionen”) har med andDespite the clear view of the European Commission (“the Commission”) and the European Court of Justice (“the ECJ”) that any citizen or business suffering harm following a breach of the EU competition rules - in particular Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Market (TFEU) - should be able to obtain damages from the infringing party, to this date, damages have only

The purpose was to se how counceller work with the children in special programs for pupils with intellectual disibilities.
The purpose of this study was to examine the collaboration between organizations that care for mentally retarded persons with added psychiatric problems when they have the need of institutional care in the psychiatry. I have both looked at which kinds of collaboration there are and then looked closer on the coordinated care plan. I’ve also looked at how the organizations adjust themselves after th
Problem definition Since 1995, the vehicle-gas market has been growing at a rapid pace. One segment that has not kept up with this development is the heavy gas-powered trucks. One explanation is that the existing gas-powered trucks cannot compete against the traditional diesel trucks. Some examples of attributes that makes the gas alternative less attractive are engine power, efficiency, driving d
In this review holographic interferometry and electron speckle pattern interferometry are discussed as efficient techniques for diffusion measurements in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications. Transport phenomena can be studied, quantitatively and qualitatively, in gels, liquids and membranes. Detailed information on these phenomena is required to design effective chromatography bioseparatio
This thesis reviews the literature on indigenous place-based environmental education in Canada. The concept of place is considered a starting point to localize, decolonize and integrate indigenous and non-indigenous knowledges (the culturally-situated subjective and intersubjective ways of knowing and meaning-making) in mainstream environmental education. Following a discussion of how a critical p
Miljörätten är en väldigt speciell del i den svenska rätten, och när det gäller miljöstraffrätten och miljöbrott är detta ett väldigt komplext område. Från att tidigare ha varit en uppdelad miljölagstiftning på inte mindre än 16 lagar, till att efter reformationen 1999 samla alla dessa i en ny miljöbalk som från och med då skulle bli den centrala delen i Sveriges arbete mot en hållbar utveckling. Environmental law is a very special part of Swedish law, and in terms of environmental law and environmental crime, this is a very complex area. From having previously been a divided environmental legislation of no less than 16 laws, until after the 1999 reform, all of them gathered in a new environmental bar that would then become the central part of Sweden's work towards sustainable developm
Enligt den så kallade korrigeringsregeln i 14 kap. 19 § IL följer att när ett re-sultat av en näringsverksamhet blir lägre, till följd av att villkor som avtalats avviker från vad som skulle ha avtalats mellan sinsemellan oberoende nä-ringsidkare, ska resultatet beräknas till det belopp som det skulle uppgått till om sådana villkor inte funnits. Bestämmelsen är ett uttryck för en internation-ellt Chapter 14 § 19 of the Swedish income taxation act, also known as the “cor-rection rule”, states that when the result of a business is lower than it should be because a contractual term deviates from what would be the contractual terms between independent businesses, the result shall be calculated as if such contractual terms did not exist. The rule is a manifestation of the international-ly recog
The present study seeks to understand the impacts of mining on Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the Brazilian Amazon. For this purpose, after an introduction of the context of mining historically, socially, and geographically in Brazil, a framework of Indigenous Peoples’ rights is described, and each right analyzed separately. All rights are interconnected and interdependent, but it becomes evident t
BACKGROUND: Preterm infants are susceptible to hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, conditions which may lead to adverse neurodevelopment. The use of continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGM) might help keeping glucose levels in the normal range, and reduce the need for blood sampling. However, the use of CGM might be associated with harms in the preterm infant. OBJECTIVES: Objective one: to assess t
