We present a new type of wireless access infrastructure consisting of a fabric of dispersed electronic circuits and antennas that collectively function as a massive, distributed antenna array. We have chosen to name this new wireless infrastructure 'RadioWeaves' and anticipate they can be integrated into indoor and outdoor walls, furniture, and other objects, rendering them a natural part of the e
As an attitude characterized by frustration, hopelessness, betrayal and disillusionment (Andersson, 1996; Wanous et al. 1994) employee cynicism or organizational cynicism could be considered a specific attitude of interest to the research of information system (IS) implementations. Today a broad literature body has emerged within the IS research community investigating the organizational consequen
BACKGROUND: Physical function constitutes a key component of outcome assessment for almost all osteoarthritis interventions. The aim was to compare physical function measured using a self-assessed performance-based test versus self-reported function using questionnaires among individuals with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) participating in a digital exercise and education therapy.METHODS: We anal
Introduction: Medical treatment of women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss is controversial. The objective was to assess the effects of different treatments on live birth rates and complications in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. Material and methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library, and identified 1415 publications. This systematic review included 21 r
This study contains a series of laboratory experiments designed to describe the lateral movement and spatial variability of an infiltrated dye tracer across the capillary fringe of homogenous sand in an aquarium. A combination of image analysis and geoelectrical monitoring was used to track the flow paths of the dye with different hydraulic gradients and infiltration rates. Photographs were taken
Introduction and hypothesis Urinary incontinence (UI) is common among the elderly, but the literature is sparse on the surgical treatment of UI among the elderly. This systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of surgical interventions as treatment for urinary incontinence in the elderly population >= 65 years of age. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCT) and prospective nonrandomize
Reduced fibrinolytic capacity due to increased plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity in plasma is a common finding in patients with coronary heart disease or venous thromboembolism, although its clinical significance is debated. Recently, a dimorphism in the PAI-1 promoter (4G-5G) has been reported and homozygosity for the 4G allele is associated with increased transcription and highe
Improvement in motor function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is achieved by appropriate rehabilitation. However, it has been questioned whether training after injury can lead to sensory improvement. We hypothesized that motor function can be restored after unilateral non-reconstructed ACL injury, whereas the sensory function cannot, i.e., there would be no difference in functional p
The construction industry accounts for a large proportion of the world’s total anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, CO2 among others. As a part of the effort to combat this are environmental certifications which have become increasingly more numerous and more frequent in use. This is partly because consumers have become more environmentally aware and motivated to pay more for products and
Background: Similar to other innovative technologies, wearable technology has started to make its way into mainstream and is expected to grow rapidly within the next few years. These technologies raise a variety of effects on consumers’ lived experiences due to the close interaction between body and machines. One growing field that heavily relies on the proactive interplay between technology and t
The aim of this study was to understand and explain which social and structural risk factors are behind young people choosing to commit criminal acts, in order to increase awareness of the problem. The method that was selected in this study was a qualitative method based on autobiographies and biographies. Four different autobiographies were used as empirical evidence and the analysis of the autob
Large capital inflows have always been a cause of concern for policy makers. While most countries experience episodes of large capital inflows, Advanced Economies tend to fare slightly better, while Emerging Economies experience more adverse effects. This study identifies 228 such episodes of large capital inflows in 1980-2019, in 38 countries. Further, an attempt is made to analyse the aftermath
There is an interest among users for customization of mobile phones, as is indicated by several companies and websites which offer themes, ringtones, backgrounds and games. However, unless the users possess programming experience, this customization rarely goes beyond simple look-and-feel and into the actual functionality. In the other end of this spectrum, lies End User Development (EUD), where e
Sweden’s grocery distribution is routed through a limited number of upstream hubs and relies on corridors and ferry links. When disruptions affect a hub or a critical link, reallocations propagate fast and travel times increase, with some areas losing coverage temporarily. Decentralising the whole system is costly, so targeted resilience options must be evaluated. The purpose of this thesis is to
