This Master’s thesis project concerns developing statistical methods to examine sea level data provided by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). The data comes from sea level gauges located in the harbours of Uddevalla, Ängelholm and Åhus along the Swedish coast. These three gauges are mobile, as compared to the permanent sea level gauges used by the SMHI at various points

Methodology: The method used is a single case study in a high tech company in Sweden, leader in network camera market. This work is a qualitative research, in which an inductive method and deductive analysis has been applied. Grounded-theory techniques have been used; eight semi-structured interviews were conducted-carefully and objectively selected following purposive sampling. Theoretical persp

To cope with population growth and urbanization cities turn to urban densification. Simultaneously, children are expected to be an increasingly important target group in the implementation of densification strategies. The demographic development has had a particularly large impact on the age structure in the municipalities around bigger cities where there is a large proportion of children. In this

Denna uppsats undersöker möjligheten till straffrättsligt ansvar vid använd-ning av högautomatiserade fordon (nivå 4–5 enligt SAE:s indelning) enligt svensk rätt. Specifikt fokuserar uppsatsen på tillämpligheten av 1 § Trafik-brottslagen (TBL) och undersöker om en fysisk person kan hållas ansvarig för vårdslöshet i trafik när ett autonomt körsystem är i kontroll. En rättsdogmatisk metod används meThis thesis paper explores the possibility of criminal liability under Swedish law when highly automated vehicles (level 4–5 according to SAE's classifica-tion) are used. It focuses on whether a physical person can be held responsi-ble for careless driving under Section 1 of the Traffic Offences Act (TBL), even when the vehicle is controlled by an autonomous driving system. A legal dogmatic me

This thesis explores the possibilities of integrating semantic transport information in the context of 3D-city modelling by implementing transport surfaces according to standards defined by the 3CIM specification, an extension of CityGML. This approach aims to automatically generate transport surfaces in LOD1 and LOD2, based on the Stockholm city basemap in combination with road geometries that re

In the last few years there has been a huge growth in the e-book market, and many copyrighted works are published as e-books before the analogue versions are printed, if they are ever printed. In order to provide e-book lending services, libraries must sign copious amounts of license agreements with materials distributors. Due to restrictive terms in license agreements, legal exceptions to copyrig

III − V semiconductors have so far predom- inately been employed for n-type transistors in high-frequency applications. This development is based on the advantageous transport properties and the large variety of heterostructure combinations in the family of III − V semiconductors. In contrast, reports on p-type devices with high hole mobility suitable for complementary metal − oxide − semiconducto

We aimed at investigating the distribution and risk of second primary cancers (SPCs) in multiple myeloma (MM) survivors in Germany and Sweden to provide etiological understanding of SPCs and insight into their incidence rates and recording practices. MM patients diagnosed in 1997-2010 at age ≥15 years were selected from the Swedish (nationwide) and 12 German cancer registries. Standardized inciden

Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for fasting glucose, fasting insulin and indices of beta-cell function (HOMA-B) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in up to 46,186 nondiabetic participants. Follow-up of 25 loci in up to 76,558 additional subjects identifi

By mimicking embryonic development of the hematopoietic system, we have developed an optimized in vitro differentiation protocol for the generation of precursors of hematopoietic lineages and primitive hematopoietic cells from human embryonic stem cells (ES) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). Factors such as cytokines, extra cellular matrix components, and small molecules, as well as the te

OBJECTIVE-Recent genome-wide association studies have revealed loci associated with glucose and insulin-related traits. We aimed to characterize 19 such loci using detailed measures of insulin processing, secretion, and sensitivity to help elucidate their role in regulation of glucose control, insulin secretion and/or action. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-We investigated associations of loci identif
