Swedish art and music schools (SAMS), established in the 1940s, aim to provide affordable extra-curricular instrumental and singing education for all children, regardless of their parents’ economic situation. The tuition is highly subsidized, with families contributing only about 7% of the tuition costs. While traditionally focusing on one-to-one instruction, a recent governmental report (2016) ha
This paper proposes a D-band patch antenna featuring four parasitic elements and a loaded superstrate layer. Inspired by a previous parasitic patch antenna design, the new structure is synthesized from scratch using characteristic mode analysis. The new design features different operating principles that enable low-cost single-layer fabrication on PCB HDI technology, while retaining wideband opera
Background: Measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in dialysis patients is essential for clinical assessment and economic evaluation. Despite the emergence and increasing use of updated instruments, evidence comparing their performance in Chinese dialysis patients remains limited. The aim of this study was to compare the measurement properties of the EQ-5D-5L and the SF-6Dv2 instruments
The remarkable advances in AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled machines to write code, accelerating the growth of software systems. However, the bottleneck in software development is not writing code but understanding it; program understanding is the dominant activity, consuming approximately 70% of developers' time. This implies that improving existing code to make it easier to under
This letter proposes a novel wideband, single-layer monopolar antenna with high selectivity and enhanced pattern stability across the operating band. Building upon a conventional circular patch antenna, the rejection levels of the upper and lower sidebands are carefully analyzed, designed, and optimized to achieve the desired performance. To further improve performance, a shorting-via-loaded ring
5G antennas for vehicular connectivity are often mounted on the car roof to optimize signal reception. The trend of replacing metal roof with glass in modern cars opens an opportunity for embedding the 5G antennas inside the glass roof. In this work, we compare the channel gains of reference dipole, and loop antennas positioned at the roof center. Then, by considering the requirements of glass int
Eye tracking has been used as part of software engineering and computer science research for a long time, and during this time new techniques for machine learning (ML) have emerged. Some of those techniques are applicable to the analysis of eye-tracking data, and to some extent have been applied. However, there is no structured summary available on which ML techniques are used for analysis in diff
This paper presents a novel low-profile, single-layer, differentially-fed microstrip antenna with a flat-top beam (FTB). By incorporating a central hexagonal slot together with four elongated slots and two short slots, the proposed antenna tailors high-order modes to achieve the desired radiation characteristics. By analyzing the electric field, the distribution in various regions is decomposed an
Darknet framställs ofta som en digital värld präglad av avvikelse och kriminalitet – en plats där ”allt är tillåtet” och som därför anses kräva övervakning och kontroll. Trots detta är kryptoforum fortfarande relativt understuderade. Med utgångspunkt i tre års etnografiskt fältarbete ger denna avhandling nya insikter i de interna dynamikerna i en till stor del dold onlinegemenskap. Genom att kombiThe Darknet is often portrayed as an online realm marked by deviance and criminality – a space where “anything goes” and therefore requires policing. Yet its cryptoforums remain comparatively understudied. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, this dissertation provides new insights into the internal dynamics of a largely hidden online community. Combining digital observations with 19
Disclosed is a method (310) for providing operational feedback during power transfer in a wireless power transfer system. The wireless power transfer system comprises a power transmit device arranged to transfer power over an inductive wireless power transfer interface operating at a transmit frequency to a power receive device. The wireless power transfer system is adapted to transfer information
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence and describe characteristics of preventable adverse drug events (pADEs) in ambulatory care. DATA SOURCES: Studies were searched in PubMed (1966-March 2007), International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1970-December 2006), the Cochrane database of systematic reviews (1993-March 2007), EMBASE (1980-February 2007), and Web of Science (1945-March 2007). Key words inclu
Evidence of a protective effect of several antioxidants and other nutrients on pancreatic cancer risk is inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate the association for prediagnostic plasma levels of carotenoids, vitamin C, retinol and tocopherols with risk of pancreatic cancer in a case-control study nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).
Moraxella IgD binding protein (MID) is a novel bacterial outer membrane protein with IgD-binding properties. MID was purified from the respiratory pathogen Moraxella catarrhalis and is here shown to have B cell stimulatory properties. Purified MID in the range of 0.01-0.1 microg/ml was optimal to induce a proliferative response in human PBL. MID coupled to Sepharose and formalin-fixed M. catarrhal
The study accounts for recent developments in corporate voluntarism and assesses the evolving corporate social responsibility (CSR) regime. CSR proposes a new norm for how large businesses should approach complexity in a modern economy. The first chapter anchors the CSR discussion in a company law and corporate governance context. Emphasis is placed on managerial duties and the British Review of C
Popular Abstract in Swedish Organiska syraanhydrider (OSA) är reaktiva kemikalier med låg molekylvikt som används industriellt vid produktion av olika plaster, främst så kallade polyestrar och epoxiplaster. Där används de bland annat för att tvärbinda polymerer, det vill säga molekyler bestående av långa kedjor där små enheter av samma struktur upprepas. Det har visat sig att personer som exponeraOrganic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are low molecular weight chemicals used in the industry for manufacturing of plastics such as epoxy resins. Exposure to these chemicals may lead to symptoms from the eyes and the respiratory tract in form of conjunctivitis, rhinitis and asthma. In many workers production of specific IgE antibodies are induced suggesting that a type-1 allergy mediated mechanism is inv
Denna biografi om Bob Marley är berättelsen om en liten stor man. Boken riktar sig till den som vill veta mer om Marley och hans sånger och skildrar också det samhälle och den kultur som formade Marley och reggaemusiken. Marleys dramatiska liv skildras mot bakgrund av det politiska och sociala våldet på Jamaica: hur han från att ha varit en ligist och slagskämpe i Kingston blev en symbol för kamp
In 1637 the Swedish Crown, encouraged by Dutch merchants, developed a plan to establish a colonial outpost in America to tap into profitable tobacco and beaver pelt trade. The same year the first cargo ships left Sweden and sailed westwards to claim their piece of America along the Delaware River. Although in many ways unsuccessful and short-lived (the colony collapsed in 1656), New Sweden became
