Bakgrund: För att tillverkande företag skall kunna vara konkurrenskraftiga, så är det viktigt att kontinuerligt sträva efter att eliminera alla orsaker till slöseri. En av de verktyg som kan användas för att bekämpa slöseri är TPM, vilket huvudsakligen är ett strukturerat sätt för att öka företagets tillförlitlighet till sina maskiner och produktionseffektiviteten genom att förstärka företagets unBackground: In order for manufacturing companies to stay competitive today, it is important to continuously strive towards eliminating any sources of waste. One of the tools to address waste elimination is to work with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which essentially is a structured way of improving the company’s machine reliability and production effectiveness through enhancing the sites mai

Urban land-use planning, which is a useful tool for the sustainable development of a city, is a complex decision making process. However, the modern GIS technologies facilitate such complex jobs in two ways – (i) GIS allows to work with large numbr of datasets, (ii) a number of methods, techniques or models could be embeded in GIS for land-use suitability analysis. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AH

The PYTHIA program is a standard tool for the generation of events in high-energy collisions, comprising a coherent set of physics models for the evolution from a few-body hard process to a complex multiparticle final state. It contains a library of hard processes, models for initial- and final-state parton showers, matching and merging methods between hard processes and parton showers, multiparto

Strålbehandling är en viktig behandling av cancer och det är avgörande att ge de föreskrivna stråldoserna exakt på rätt plats för att lyckas. Innan en patient behandlas verifieras strålbehandlingen genom kontrollmätningar. Dessa kontrollmätningar utförs med små detektorer som är placerade i ett fantom. Dessa mäter dosen endast i de punkter där de placeras. Stråldosen som ligger mellan dessa punkteBackground & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. Among various dosimetry techniques

Salinisation is a global issue which leads to desertification and soil degradation and exposure to salt is also known to inhibit microbial activity and plant growth. This study was conducted to determine the influence of salinity on microbial activity of a non- saline soil. By using Salt Induced Community Tolerance (SICT) concept I found that microbial community tolerance to salt can be induced in

The European Spallation Source ERIC is a new neutron spallation source being built in Lund, Sweden, with NMX as one of the pioneer instruments. NMX is a Quasi-Laue single crystal neutron diffractometer for the investigation of large biological molecules. Wavelength, size and divergence of the neutron beam reaching the sample have to be controlled to properly match the different experimental needs.

Can Machine Learning Provide more Insights in Cardiovascular Disease? Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world and the number of people suffering from CV complications is growing as the population is getting older. Despite of knowing several risk factors such as age, hypertension, body mass index (BMI) and genetics associated to CV complication,

Bakgrund: Det är möjligt för företag att minska sin miljöpåverkan och reducera sina kostnader genom att ta hänsyn till returlogistik i alla delar av sin verksamhet. När det handlar om den fysiska distributionen i försörjningskedjan, så handlar returlogistik främst om att återanvända lastbärare som används för transport av gods. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB är ett företag som använder sig av retBackground: Companies can lower their environmental impact and reduce their costs by considering reverse logistics in their operations. In the area of physical distribution, reverse logistics is concerned with the reusage of load carriers used for the transportation of goods. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB, is a company which uses returnable load carriers (racks), for the transport of large and h

The ever increasing data rates in wireless communication require analog to digital converters (ADCs) with greater requirements on speed and accuracy, while being power efficient to prolong battery life. This dissertation contains an introduction to the field and five papers that focus on the continuous-time (CT) Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) as ADC. Paper I analyses the performance degradation of d

The introduction of the laparoscope was a milestone within gynecologic surgery. Despite evidence of better perioperative outcome compared to laparotomy, laparoscopy is mostly performed for less advanced surgical procedures and the uptake of laparoscopic hysterectomy has been slow. An effort to preserve the clinical benefits of laparoscopic surgery and facilitate the performance of more advanced su

Vid en diskussion om nivån på den svenska bolagsskatten är det av stor vikt att avgöra huruvida diskussionen rör den nominella eller den effektiva skattesatsen. Den nominella skattesatsen uppgår till 28 procent och återfinns i 65 kap. 14 § IL. Den effektiva skattesatsen är däremot inte given utan kan i viss utsträckning påverkas, eftersom den bestäms genom att dividera skatt på årets resultat med

Background: Several aggregate data meta-analyses have provided estimates of the effectiveness of influenza vaccination in community-dwelling elderly people. However, these studies ignored the effects of patient-level confounders such as sex, age, and chronic diseases that could bias effectiveness estimates. We aimed to assess the confounder-adjusted effectiveness of influenza vaccines on laborator

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by an abnormal increase of phosphorylated tau (pTau) species in the CSF. It has been suggested that emergence of different pTau forms may parallel disease progression. Therefore, targeting multiple specific pTau forms may allow for a deeper understanding of disease evolution and underlying pathophysiology. Current immunoassays measure pTau epitopes

Importance: The behavioral variant of Alzheimer disease (bvAD) is characterized by early and predominant behavioral deficits caused by AD pathology. This AD phenotype is insufficiently understood and lacks standardized clinical criteria, limiting reliability and reproducibility of diagnosis and scientific reporting. Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the bvAD literature

Background: The risk of sustaining a contra-lateral anterior cruciate ligament (C-ACL) injury after primary unilateral ACL injury is high. C-ACL injury often contributes to a further decline in function and quality of life, including failure to return to sport. There is, however, very limited knowledge about which risk factors that contribute to C-ACL injury. Objective: To systematically review in

The nature of today’s business demands that Business Analytics (BA) extends to an operational level to better support employees in their decision-making. This is noticeable from the constant requests for new reports and changes in old ones at different employee levels. As a result, BA specialists or other power-users in functional departments are “bombarded” by these requests, and it becomes more

Sin ringa storlek till trots har insekter enorm inverkan på vårt samhälle och våra liv. Bin, som är centrala för att vårt jordbruk ska fungera, har minskat drastiskt i antal de senaste åren. En utbredd bidöd skulle i bästa fall tvinga oss lägga om vår kosthållning markant, och i värsta fall leda till svält. Utöver detta skulle växter som är beroende av bin för sin fortplantning och djur som äter bThis thesis treats entomological lidar from various angles: laboratory reference work on insects of interest, methodological development of lidar- and data processing methods, as well as field implementations of lidar techniques for entomological research. Insects are crucial components of ecosystems and are currently in a global decline. In this thesis, insects are mainly studied in their roles a
