The financing of energy efficiency measures and renovations is key to reaching energy efficiency targets for the housing sector. The purpose of this article is to add the Swedish case of how capital market funds have become accessible and used by public and private housing companies, in particular for energy efficiency measures. The core of this article are interviews with representatives of Swedi
This article compares the articulation of dental stops by two subjects, one Swedish and one British English. The articulations are studied on X-ray motion films and the spectral consequences are studied on spectrograms. Speakers of Swedish are very conscious of a difference in pronunciation of dental stops and hear it as a typical part of an English accent in Swedish. The traditional Swedish expla
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young athletes is rare, with an estimated incidence ranging from 0.1 to 2 per 100,000 per athlete year. The creation of SCA registries can help provide accurate data regarding incidence, treatment, and outcomes and help implement primary or secondary prevention strategies that could change the course of these events. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defi
This paper serves as an overview to the special session Circuits and Systems for 5G on IEEE International Conference on ASIC (ASICON) 2015. More specifically, we introduce two of enabling technologies for the coming 5G wireless era, namely massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique and advanced coding techniques such as polar codes. Massive MIMO is a relatively new wireless communicat
India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St
Background: Implementing the evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model in welfare states like Sweden faces contextual challenges that often necessitate local adaptations to enhance fit and effectiveness. While fidelity assessments aim to ensure effective outcomes, adaptations may lead to unintended drift from core components. The Model for Adaptation Design and Impact (MADI) help
This report has been written within the project Looking Back to Move Forward: a Social and Cultural History of Heating (JustHeat). The aim of the project is to unpack previous heating transitions at the home front since 1940 in order to enable more just and inclusive heating transitions in the future. The background is the notion that home heating transitions are deeply personal in the sense that
Forskargruppen bedriver forskning och utbildning på forskarnivå inom aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande. Vi medverkar i flera av Medicinska fakultetens utbildningsprogram på grundnivå och avancerad nivå, samt gör utbildningsinsatser vid tekniska (LTH) respektive samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten. Här arbetar forskare och lärare från flera discipliner och professioner - arbetsterapi, fysioterapi, omvårdnThe group consists of about 25 senior and junior researchers, PhD students and technical and administrative staff. We represent many different disciplines and professions - gerontology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing, public health, sociology, psychology and epidemiology. Many of the employees are licensed health care professionals. The research group is the core of the interdiscipl
In order to improve the energy efficiency in district heating networks and the comfort of their customers, these networks need to overcome the problem of unfair heat distribution under heat deficits. This paper introduces a new strategy to achieve this thermal fairness objective: it is lowcost in terms of communication and computation. The proposed approach is illustrated on a simulation example.
Many computing systems are constrained by power budgets. While they could temporarily draw more power, doing so creates unsustainable temperatures and unwanted electricity consumption. Developing systems that operate within power budgets is a constrained optimization problem: configuring the components within the system to maximize performance while maintaining sustainable power consumption.
