Neo-liberal policy as a means for development has been present in our society since the first experiment in Chile during the 1970s. This experience came to be known as an economic ?miracle? and the model was soon imitated by surrounding countries. In these countries income inequality has been a well-known feature and the Gini Coefficient in all Latin American countries exceeds the world average. T
The aim of the study has been to see if there are cultural differences in the perception of health and, if so, analyze if this is something needed to be taken in consideration in Swedish healthcare, schools and so forth. The participants were children aged between nine and nineteen. The study was performed at Islamic center's Islamic free school in Rosengård, Malmö. We have used a phenomenolo
Title: Alexander Technique - Different thoughts on the Alexander Technique and its effect on the singing voice. Does singing lessons cause tension in the student? What should you as a teacher consider to avoid situations that cause tension? This examination is based on interviews. The persons who have been interviewed are singing students, singing teachers and teachers in the Alexander Technique.
This thesis treats the problem of positioning in WiFi networks and proposes a solution using hidden Markov models and particle lters based on sequential importance sampling with resampling. Hidden Markov models prove to be a powerful framework for this type of problem exhibiting both an intuitive and adaptive model structure. One of the diculties encountered when ltering this model is that it is i
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) permits the visualization of anatomical structures not appreciated by conventional radiographic imaging, and may assess inflammatory disease and its progression with greater sensitivity than conventional radiography. In this study of 30 patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which could be considered as a pilot study because of the relatively small number o
Introduction and aim: In SPECT imaging, the finite spatial resolution of the imaging system leads to a blurring of the reconstructed image. Consequently, counts originating from each point in the source distribution will be spread out over a volume in the reconstructed image, leading to spill-over of counts between different structures and distortion of the apparent activity concentration. This pr
A MeV proton beam with a current in the range of fA-nA is usually measured using a secondary beam signal that is dependent on a sample or requires noise-free accurate charge integration in a Faraday cup. We propose a simple on-line beam current measurement setup that can be used to directly measure beam current during ion beam analysis. A fast beam blanker is used to modulate the beam position aft
Using a penetration-field threshold photoelectron (TPE) analyzer and efficient photon detectors X-ray-emission-threshold-electron coincidence (XETECO) spectroscopy has been developed to a point where peak shape analysis becomes meaningful. The spectra can, on the present level of accuracy, be interpreted as conventional TPE spectra free from post collision interaction effects. For the neon atom an
A diffusion process on complex networks is introduced in order to uncover their large-scale topological structures. This is achieved by focusing on the slowest decaying diffusive modes of the network. The proposed procedure is applied to real-world networks like a friendship network of known modular structure, and an Internet routing network. For the friendship network, its known structure is well
Redox hydrogel-based micropatterned complex biosensor architectures, used as sensing chemistries in amperometric ethanol or glucose biosensors, were deposited on gold, graphite or glass. Well-localized immobilization of active hydrogels with variable compositions was achieved by dispensing 100 pl droplets of cocktails containing alcohol or glucose dehydrogenase, redox polymer (PVI(13)dmeOs) and cr
Combination of right EGR rates with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark-ignited natural gas engines. With stoichiometric conditions a three way catalyst can be used which means that regulated emissions can be kept at very low levels. However dilution limit is limited in these types of engines because of the lower burnCombination of right EGR rates with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark-ignited natural gas engines.

This work presented the working scheme developed and used in order to conduct multiple daylight simulations for distinct rooms in a wide range of apartment buildings within the urban grid. The objective was to generate 3D models of the rooms under study and their urban surroundings, and to obtain the corresponding illuminance files and geometry information in a time-efficient, automated manner. Th
Dry, wet, dense, and dilute granular flows have been previously considered fundamentally different and thus described by distinct, and in many cases incompatible, rheologies. We carry out extensive simulations of granular flows, including wet and dry conditions, various geometries and driving mechanisms (boundary driven, fluid driven, and gravity driven), many of which are not captured by standard
A large number of experiments have found a moderate degree of dependence between subsequent tests of recognition and cued recall as described by the TW-function. This paper investigates the dependence in word pair recognition. Tests of word pair recognition are conducted with the subsequent test being free recall, cued recall, recognition, and cued recognition. The dependence is compared to subseq
Label-free LC-MS analysis allows determining the differential expression level of proteins in multiple samples, without the use of stable isotopes. This technique is based on the direct comparison of multiple runs, obtained by continuous detection in MS mode. Only differentially expressed peptides are selected for further fragmentation, thus avoiding the bias toward abundant peptides typical of da
Nanowires are widely considered to be key elements in future disruptive electronics and photonics. This paper presents the first detailed study of transport mechanisms in single-crystalline InAs nanowires synthesized by a cheap solvothermal wet chemical method. From detailed analyses of temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics, it was observed that contacted nanowires operate in a lin
Lactose plays a significant role in daily lives as a constituent of various food and pharmaceutical products. Yet, lactose intolerance conditions demand low-lactose and lactose-free products in the market. These increasing nutritional claims and labels on food products entail simple and reliable methods of analysis that can be used for meeting quality standards, nutritional claims and legal requir
It is not acceptable that a judge because of ‘fear’ hands down a wrongful judgment. This was mentioned already by Isidore of Seville in his Sententiae and is part of the oaths of judges in many jurisdictions, from the 1230s onwards until this day. The ‘fear’ that is relevant could relate to one of the parties but also other persons in power. Thus, it relates not only to impartiality but – above alIt is not acceptable that a judge because of ‘fear’ hands down a wrongful judgment.
