This is an undeniable fact now that wireless systems pervade all aspects of our lives. These systems are evolving at a rapid clip, connecting more people and devices every single day that goes by. This growth is further fueled by the users’ insatiable appetite for more traffic, be it for online gaming, watching high-fidelity video, downloading huge files, live- streaming and many more uses. With t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Automatisk analys av programkod är ett kärnområde inom datavetenskap. Det mest typiska verktyget inom detta område är en kompilator som översätter källkod till maskinkod, men det finns många likartade verktyg, exempelvis översättning mellan språkdialekter, kontroll av kodkonventioner samt automatisk omstrukturering av kod. Eftersom dessa verktyg gör liknande analyser fiProcessing of programs is a core area in computer science. A compiler that translates source text to machine language is the most well-known kind of tool in this area, but there are numerous other kinds of related applications: source-to-source translators, refactoring tools, reengineering tools, metrics tools, consistency checkers, etc. These tools perform similar analyses and can therefore benef
This report contains papers presented at a Research Seminar , or rather "workshop", organised by our Department. It is the third in a series. The previous seminars were held in 1993 and 19961• The seminar is "Nordic", by which is meant that the speakers came from the Scandinavian countries -Demnark, Norway, Sweden- and Finland. Certainly there are other Nordic countries in which frost is a real pr
For people with learning disabilities care in institutions has been replaced by a life in community settings e.g. group homes, where a number of persons (4-5) are living with staff support. My case-studies cover three elderly and three more lately produced such units as well as a ward in a nursing home. Data were gathered through participant observations and semistructured interviews with staff an
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, accounting. Recent findings highlight the need for better characterisation of the arrhythmia in each patient, in order to improve patient treatment. The main objective of this work was to characterise atrial electrophysiology with respect to AF by means of non-invasively obtained data. Spectra
BACKGROUND. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a prostate carcinoma screening program in which serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were measured. METHODS. From a group of 20,000 men born between January 1, 1930, and December 31, 1944, 10,000 men were randomized into a screening group and 10,000 were randomized into a control group. Patients in the screen
We discuss the climatic and environmental changes during the last millennium in NE Europe based on a ca. 8-m long high-resolved and well-dated marine sediment record from the deepest basin of Gullmar Fjord (SW Sweden). According to the Pb-210- and C-14-datings, the record includes the period of the late Holocene characterised by anomalously cold summers and well-known as the Little Ice Age (LIA).
The authors introduce a comprehensive revision of the Divisia monetary aggregates for the United States published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, referred to as the Monetary Services Indexes (MSI). These revised MSI are available at five levels of aggregation, including a new broad level of aggregation that includes all of the assets currently reported on the Federal Reserve's H.6 statis
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att balansera. Cancer från ett primärvårdsperspektiv. Diagnostik, posttraumatisk stress och vård vid livets slut Denna avhandling belyser cancer från en utgångspunkt som kanske inte handlar om vad man först kommer att tänka på när man hör ordet cancerforskning. Det handlar inte om att “lösa cancerns gåta” eller att hitta nya metoder för behandling eller diagnos. UtgångThis thesis explores cancer from a primary care perspective covering three areas: diagnosis, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and end-of-life care. We analyzed patient records of every child diagnosed with a malignancy in a defined area. During 12 years 68 children were diagnosed (incidence 14/100,000). For 68% the diagnosis was initiated in primary care. There were 25 children with leukemia
When exploring possible energy saving measures for existing buildings different technical solutions should be investigated. In Malmö, Sweden, a 1930s hospital in a park setting has been refurbished with a general sustainability goal. For one of the buildings a glass-façade has been added to an existing 80-year old brick building. Measurements of relevant temperatures have been made including meas
Oxygen (delta O-18) and carbon (delta C-13) isotope records of calcitic carbonate components (Chara sp. algal encrustations and Bithynia tentaculata gastropod opercula) from a lake-sediment succession on the Baltic Sea island of Gotland, south-eastern Sweden, have been obtained to investigate regional climate dynamics during the Holocene. The hydrological sensitivity of the small lake, particularl
Purpose - In order to improve cooperation and collaboration between units, clinics and departments, many health care organizations (HCOs) have introduced process orientation. Several studies indicate problems in realizing these ambitions. The purpose of this paper is to explain and understand the success and failure of process orientation in HCOs. Design/methodology/approach - The authors conducte
Occupational engagement is a vital factor in people's lives since it has been shown to be important for health and well-being. Community-based day centers (DCs), both meeting place-oriented and work-oriented ones, are common service alternatives in many western countries for enabling engagement in productive and leisure occupations among people with psychiatric disabilities. Little is, however, kn
Continuously indexed Gaussian fields (GFs) is the most important ingredient in spatial statistical modelling and geo-statistics. The specification through the covariance function gives an intuitive interpretation of its properties. On the computational side, GFs are hampered with the "big-n" problem, since the cost of factorising dense matrices is cubic in the dimension. Although the computational
The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate nature of adsorption of amphiphiles to the solid–liquid interface. The surface aggregate structures of the zwitterionic surfactant dodecyldimethylammoniopropanesulfonate, (DDAPS) and a series of nonionic polyoxyethlylene glycol alkyl ethers (C10E5, C12E5, C12E8, C10E6, C14E6 and C16E6) have been determined by Atomic Force Microscopy o
Myndighetschefer anställs av regeringen som en del av den så kallade utnäm-ningsmakten. Anställningen av myndighetschefer är emellertid inte helt dis-kretionär, den centrala regleringen på området, 12 kap. 5 § regeringsformen, stadgar att vid tillsättningen av dylika tjänster ska avseende endast fästas vid sakliga grunder. Uppsatsen utreder bakgrunden, intentionen och innebörden av denna regel. ViTop level-management in the Swedish civil service is appointed directly by the government. In this the government is not granted full discretion on whom to appoint. Chapter 12 § 5 of the Instrument of Government of the Swedish con-stitution states that in the appointment of civil servants, only objective criteria may be taken into regard. This essay seeks to explain the background, inten-tion and
Recent reports have demonstrated that hypoxia is widespread in the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea. Here we evaluate the long-term trends of dissolved oxygen in bottom waters and of the drivers of coastal hypoxia. Eleven of the 33 sites evaluated had increasing trends of bottom water dissolved oxygen, but only the Stockholm Archipelago presents a consistent positive increasing trend in time. The va
Video conferencing is a very bandwidth sensitive application, if the available bandwidth is to low to handle the send rate of the media, packages will be lost in the network and thus the conference will be disrupted. Axis Communications would like to know which techniques are used today to ensure optimized bandwidth usage and as good quality as possible during a video conference even if the networ
Introduction: In recent years omni-channel retailing has been accepted and used by both physical and e-commerce retailers. In omni-channel retailing different channels are integrated. An effective and efficient distribution system is becoming more crucial. The core of the distribution system is warehousing that affects lead time and logistics cost. The main challenge is to handle large store reple
In today’s world, where viewing television is one of the most prominent leisure activities, it is only natural that the scenes seen on the screen can have an impact on the image that people have of certain destinations. While film tourism is not a new phenomenon, it is relatively young in academic research and many aspects and perspectives are yet to be examined. This paper makes use of the stakeh
