The most widely used positioning system is Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which uses traditional positioning techniques and cannot achieve satisfactory positioning performance in indoor scenarios due to Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) transmission. Fingerprinting is a non-traditional positioning technique that is robust to NLoS transmission in indoor scenarios. Moreover, Applying Machine Lear

After the General Court’s (GC) decision in case T-472/13 H. Lundbeck A/S and Lundbeck Ltd v Commission it seems the concept of potential competition in the context of so-called ‘pay-for-delay’ agreements, or reverse patent settlements, might have been altered; that the bar in order for an undertaking to qualify as a potential competitor might have been lowered. This thesis aims to examine whether
I Sverige finns en åldersgräns på 18 år för att ingå äktenskap men det finns ändå barn under 18 år i Sverige som är gifta. De gifta barnen har ingått barnäktenskap utomlands. Äktenskapen har erkänts som giltiga i Sverige om makarna saknade anknytning till Sverige när äktenskapen ingicks. Diskussioner har förts om att regleringen av erkännande av utländska barnäktenskap måste ändras för att skyddetThe age limit for getting married in Sweden is 18 years. Yet there are children under the age of 18 in Sweden who are married. The children have gotten married abroad. The marriages have been recognized as valid in Sweden if the spouses had no connection to Sweden when the marriages were entered. Discussions have been held about that the regulation of recognition of foreign child marriages needs t
The technology has advanced but the vehicle industry has not evolved at the same pace. Mechanical constructions with a steering wheel are still being used to control the steering of cars. The mechanical construction makes it harder to implement autonomous features, it adds weight and takes up space. It is commonly known that the steering wheel has been along since the early days of the car but is
Undersökning av näthinneceller odlade på ljuskänsliga nanotrådar Människans sinnen bombarderas ständigt med nya intryck. En stor del av dessa förmedlas via vår syn. Ljus kommer in i ögat och absorberas av ljuskänsliga fotopigment som finns i de yttre segmenten av näthinnans fotoreceptorer. Näthinnan är uppbyggd av flera olika skikt och av flera olika celltyper, både nervceller och stödjande gliacWorldwide, millions of people suffer from retinal degenerative diseases leading to cell death of light absorbing photoreceptors. This results in vision impairment and, in many cases, eventually blindness. A possible solution for patients gone legally blind due to retinal degeneration, is the use of retinal implants. The best performing retinal implants of today, regarding vision acuity, still give
Background: We have previously reported that expression of the RNA-and DNA-binding protein RBM3 is associated with a good prognosis in breast cancer and ovarian cancer. In this study, the prognostic value of immunohistochemical RBM3 expression was assessed in incident cases of malignant melanoma from a prospective population-based cohort study. Methods: Until Dec 31(st) 2008, 264 incident cases of
CK2 is an extremely pleiotropic Ser/Thr protein kinase, responsible for the generation of a large proportion of the human phosphoproteome and implicated in a wide variety of biological functions. CK2 plays a global role as an anti-apoptotic agent, a property which is believed to partially account for the addiction of many cancer cells to high CK2 levels. To gain information about the CK2 targets w
Long term effects after peptic ulcer surgery still exert an influence on some patient groups. Partial gastrectomy increases the risk of gastric carcinoma more than 20 years after surgery and enterogastric reflux is regarded as the main ethiological factor. Partial gastrectomy also gives increased risk of other malignancies as well as smoking related disease. Parietal cell vagotomy (PCV) is conside
Background: The Dachshund homolog 2 (DACH2) gene has been implicated in development of the female genital tract in mouse models and premature ovarian failure syndrome, but to date, its expression in human normal and cancerous tissue remains unexplored. Using the Human Protein Atlas as a tool for cancer biomarker discovery, DACH2 protein was found to be differentially expressed in epithelial ovaria
Popular Abstract in Swedish I det här arbetet studerades kontaktallergi för metaller som finns i olika stentar. Patienterna som ingick i studien hade blivit stentade med olika typer av stentar. En av stentarna var gjord av rostfritt stål (nickelstent) och den andra var förgylld (guldstent). Resultaten av lapptestningen visade att patienterna hade en hög frekvens av både guld- och nickelallergi, ocA large number of patients are treated with coronary stents, and restenosis (recurrent narrowing of the vessel) is a serious problem. Contact allergy to metal ions eluted from stainless steel stents has been suggested to contribute to in-stent restenosis. Studies have reported a higher rate of restenosis with gold-plated stents, but the correlation to contact allergy was not evaluated. Nickel is t
This thesis is a comparative analysis of five cases, in which criminal responsibility and mental disorder were in issue. Andrea Yates drowned her five children. John W. Hinckley Jr shot and injured President Ronald Reagan. Kjeldsen raped and assassinated a taxi driver on his way from Calgary to Banff. Mijailo Mijailovic attacked and killed the Swedish minister of foreign affairs Anna Lindh. Sara S

The EU needs to be less dependent on fossil fuels. One of the alternatives is bioenergy. The Bioenergy industry is still emerging and companies within it may face different obstacles. This thesis presents a chronological analysis of the foundational process and development of a bioenergy company named TallOil, based in Sweden. This company is one of the leading suppliers of biofuels in Sweden and
Cognitively-normal people with evidence of β-amyloid (Aβ) pathology and subtle cognitive dysfunction are believed to be at high risk for progression to mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clinical trials in later stages of AD typically include a coprimary endpoint to demonstrate efficacy on both cognitive and functional assessments. Recent trials focus on cognitively-normal
Background: The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) guidelines advise against inappropriate weight match (IWM) for heart transplant, defined as donor weight <70% of recipient's weight. Few studies have explored in detail this size-matching recommendation, especially with regard to body mass index (BMI) and gender matching. We aimed to determine whether any difference c
Since the earliest economic historical studies wage series have been used to sketch economic development both at the macro and the household level. This dissertation takes advantage of new data from women and men, working in both the countryside and in towns, as well as employed both by the day and on long-term contracts, in order to make an in-depth quantitative look at the relationships between
Aims To compare the effect of initial monotherapy with either bisoprolot or enalapril, followed by their combination, on mortality and hospitalization in patients with mild-to-moderate CHF. Methods and results One thousand and ten patients with mild-to-moderate CHF and left ventricular ejection fraction <= 35%, without ACE-inhibitor, beta-blocker, or angiotensin-receptor-blocker therapy were rando
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra kapitel som behandlar olika aspekter av internationell handel och dess effekter på konkurrens och produktivitet. Särskilt behandlas effekterna av EU:s expansion och fördjupade integration. Första kapitlet använder den så kallade gravitationsmodellen för att analysera hur integrationsprocessen av de Central- och Östeuropeiska länderna i EU haThis thesis consists of four papers on trade, competition and productivity with particular emphasis on the effects of various aspects of the deepening and widening of the European Union. The first paper Trade Creation, Diversion and Displacement of the EU Enlargement Process provides an assessment of the effects of the EU enlargement process on trade.

The aim of this paper is to outline a process-based approach to the historical trajectory of commercialising cities that can account for continuity and change in a city’s image. Previous research involving historical approaches to the commercialisation of places are typically underpinned by a view of history as linear and chronological. By contrast, the present study adopts a performative view of
