Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the intima of large and medium sized arteries. Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is the most common cause of myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis in the carotids and other major arteries supplying the brain is the major cause of stroke. Cardiovascular diseases caused by atherosclerosis is the most common
The topic of this thesis is the optimal control of transportation networks. The problem studied is a dynamical extension of a classical problem in economics, in which the objective is to distribute goods to maximize welfare, whilst satisfying constraints on production and consumption. The main contribution is to show that for a class of welfare functions and dynamics, the optimal control is highly
En grundläggande utgångspunkt i både den kontradiktoriska rättegången inför allmän domstol och i skiljeförfarande är att parterna svarar för bevisningen. Eftersom tillgången till relevant bevisning ofta är avgörande för utgången i en tvist, är möjligheten att göra gällande en motparts eller tredje mans processuella editionsplikt av central betydelse för en informationsfattig part.

Petrostates face an unprecedented crisis as oil and gas revenues, on which their economies and states are built upon, are set to diminish rapidly the coming 20 years. The decline in revenues is an effect of the adopted climate policies in the major oil consuming countries that, together with a strong development of renewable energy, reduces the future demand for oil and gas. The challenges that th
The European food service market was estimated, in 1999, to be worth US$293 billion with high profit margins and a growth rate of 2.75%. Future demand for value-added products and high levels of customization will stress the issue of keeping profit margins in the food service industry. Packaging is a critical issue, because it adheres to the product throughout the entire food service supply chain.

Two different sum rules for transmission of the coherent electromagnetic fieldby a particulate slab are established. The particles are assumed sphericaland randomly located, and the slab is illuminated by a plane wave at normalincidence. These sum rules are obtained assuming the particles are passivescatterers, and satisfy energy conservation and causality conditions. The sumrules are then employe

Energy is among the main driving forces needed for sustainable development. Provision of energy services, from the supply side to transmission/distribution and use, must include management, and good management requires tools. Energy planning is a tool for managing the community energy system through assessing and balancing supply and demand. This thesis explains an approach to energy planning whic

This thesis has investigated how the design process used by a textile printmaker practitioner requires further modification when the sun, uncontrollable by nature, is used to activate thermochromic leuco dyes, a dynamic surface variable. In the context of the use of the sun as the dynamic activator, the investigation is focussed on design applications of sun-screening textiles for both indoor and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är en sammanläggningsavhandling som består av fyra artiklar inom arbetsmarknadsområdet. Den första artikeln behandlar en personalförstärkning till arbetsförmedlingen. Metoden har bestått i att jämföra tre arbetsförmedlingskontor som erhållit stora personalförstärkningar med tre kontor som inte fått någon personalförstärkning alls. Resultaten tyder på atThis thesis results from four research projects. The issues addressed in the projects are different types of labour market information problems. The purpose of the first article is to contribute to a better empirical under- standning of how an increase of staff at the Public Employment Service affects job seekers. In 1987, the Swedish Government decided to grant the Labour Market Administration ex
