Musculoskeletal tissues are complex hierarchical materials where mechanical response is linked to structural and material properties at different dimensional levels. Therefore, high-resolution three-dimensional tomography is very useful for assessing tissue properties at different scales. In particular, Synchrotron Radiation micro-Computed Tomography (SR-microCT) has been used in several applicati
BACKGROUND: This paper investigates the impact of a non-mandatory and age-specific social distancing recommendation on isolation behaviors and disease outcomes in Sweden during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (March to July, 2020). The policy stated that people aged 70 years or older should avoid crowded places and contact with people outside the household.METHODS: We used a regression dis
Every year about 15 million people are injured in traffic, 500,000 of these fatally. Developing countries are badly affected. During the worst years of the war in Nicaragua, more people died in traffic accidents than as a direct result of the war. Transport system and infrastructure have developed rapidly in developing countries, while little has been achieved in preventing accidents or lessening
The resistivity of the semi-conducting material in high voltage direct current cables were studied under a variety of conditions. A wide theoretical background was also created, summarizing previous works within the field and providing useful explanations for the characteristics seen in the results. The semi-conducting material works as a protective shield for the insulation of the cable, protecti
The Department of Automatic Control at Lund University bi-annually gives a project course in Systems, Control and Learning (FRTN70). The course is given at the advanced level (7.5 ECTS credits), and the studentswork in small teams to achieve a common goal. The projects typically involve a real-world estimation or control problem with relevance to industrial or other applications. In this course, t

Against the backdrop of the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), this study focuses on the compliance practices of medium-sized automakers in China and Europe under resource constraints and differences in technological capabilities. Through a multi-case comparative analysis of six mid-sized automakers in Europe and Chin, the study systematically explores the di
With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to develop an administration tool that will be used by a helpdesk in IKEA IT. The helpdesk members have a lot of responsibilities and have to perform various tasks on a daily basis, thus the goal is to develop an administration tool that has an interface which allows a helpdesk member to perform basic tasks without needing any prior education or experience of
År 2011 kom det första auktoritära ”soft law” dokumentet inom området företag och mänskliga rättigheter,”UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human rights”. I detta dokument åläggs företag ett ansvar att respektera mänskliga rättigheter genom att använda sig av en s.k."human rights due diligence" (HR DD). Denna ska bl.a. innehålla en "root cause analysis" för att överensstämmaIn 2011, the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) became the first authoritative international standard regarding the field of business and human rights. The document states a responsibility for companies to respect human rights. The operational principle of due diligence in the UNGPs is designed as a tool for companies to use in order to be able to respect human rights. However, if the due diligence is
Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. Despite this, the PSA program and many other PES programs do not monitor
The response to climate change in cities has proliferated over the last few decades, and progressive climate action at the local level is now ubiquitous. More specifically, local climate action often comes in the shape of ‘climate change experiments’, radical innovations at the local level designed to respond to the imperatives of mitigating and adapting to climate change in the city.

Sjukhus har börjat värdera att spåra tillgångar så som medicinsk utrustning, och användningen av sådana tjänster ökar. Sony Corporation är det företag som ansvarar för Sony Groups elektronikprodukter och lösningar. Sony Corporation har utvecklat ett system, Visilion Care, för positionering och analys av utrustning i realtid för sjukvården, för att hjälpa personal och ledning att spara tid, öka proHospitals have started to nd great value in tracking assets such as medical equipment, and the use of such services is increasing. Sony Corporation is the company responsible for the Sony Group's Electronics Products and Solutions business. Sony Corporation has developed a system, Visilion Care, for healthcare real-time positioning and analytics of equipment, to help personnel and management s
Since the introduction of Edison’s lightbulb over one-hundred years ago, humanity has struggled to keep up with electrification for all. With global attention now aimed at sustainable energy production, the struggle becomes more complex by not only obliging energy access, but access to clean energy. The concept of microgrids has been promising for filling in the demand, but not quickly enough to m
In this thesis, a new probabilistic risk assessment tool for road tunnels has been verified and validated. The verification and validation were performed along with a literature review to find different key variables that affect the risk in a road tunnel and find out how these variables can be handled. Examples of variables are heat release, ventilation mode and factors within evacuation modelling
Background: Many patients with a psychotic disorder participate poorly in society. When psychotic disorders are in partial remission, feelings of paranoia, delusions of reference, social anxiety and self-stigmatization often remain at diminished severity and may lead to avoidance of places and people. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an evidence-based treatment for several anxiety disord
Against the backdrop of rising technological nationalism, geopolitical censorship, and cross-cultural trust pressures, Chinese technology brands face new legitimacy challenges in their overseas communication. For Huawei, directly emphasizing technological capabilities and product performance may not effectively build trust and could instead trigger defensive interpretations within a politicized co
