Purpose: Transportation systems play a key role in providing individuals with a diversity of means to access their desired destinations and have significant impacts on their quality of life. The social perspective of mobility is, however, marginalized in the current model of transportation planning and significant changes are called for. This study aims to identify the barriers and opportunities o

Trots dess introduktion under början av 1950-talet används vaskulär impedans ännu inte i klinisk omfattning för att förutsäga tidiga stadier av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Definierad som förhållandet mellan blodtryck och blodflöde beskriver vaskulär impedans motståndet mot blodflödet i det vaskulära systemet.Under detta avhandlingsprojekt uppskattades den lokala pulsvåghastigheten (PWV) och vaskulära impDespite its introduction in the early 1950´s, vascular impedance has yet to be applied in clinical use to predict early stages of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is defined as the ratio between blood pressure and flow and describes the opposition to blood flow within the cardiovascular system.During this thesis project, local pulse wave velocity (PWV) and vascular impedance was estimated from in

Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to strengthen the validity of future findings in the Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Robot Open (LAPPRO) study by investigating the extent of interobserver variability between local pathologists and re-evaluating reference pathologists. Material and methods. LAPPRO is a Swedish prospective study comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy to open re

BACKGROUND: Prognostic factors for metastasis in soft tissue sarcoma govern decisions regarding adjuvant treatment. However, the significance of initial tumor-related prognostic factors over time is largely unknown.METHODS: The current study included 338 patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the extremities or the trunk wall whose tumors were reviewed by the Scandinavian Sarcoma Pa

We present here surface water vapor isotopic measurements conducted from June to August 2010 at the NEEM (North Greenland Eemian Drilling Project) camp, NW Greenland (77.45 degrees N, 51.05 degrees W, 2484 m a.s.l.). Measurements were conducted at 9 different heights from 0.1m to 13.5m above the snow surface using two different types of cavity-enhanced near-infrared absorption spectroscopy analyze

International guidelines recommend PET-CT should replace CT in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). The aims of this study were to i) compare PET-CT with CT for staging and ii) measure agreement between expert and local readers, using a five-point scale (Deauville criteria), to adapt treatment in a clinical trial 'Response Adapted Therapy in Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma' (RATHL) www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials, refe

The thesis describes and analyzes six companies’ origins and development over the period 1950-2002, a time when the Swedish industrial sector was dominated by companies that were formed in the early 1900s. The firms, situated in the same region, have after an eventful journey become world leaders in the segment of machines with capacity to lift more than five tonnes. Investigations in Swedish busi

In order to support a sustainability transition in the energy sector, actors need knowledge about barriers and drivers to the deployment of clean energy technologies. Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a renewable energy technology that is technically mature and on the verge of becoming economically competitive in numerous regions around the world. Not least in the residential segment, PV has considerabl

We use Cholesky decomposition of the density matrix in atomic orbital basis to define a new set of occupied molecular orbital coefficients. Analysis of the resulting orbitals ("Cholesky molecular orbitals") demonstrates their localized character inherited from the sparsity of the density matrix. Comparison with the results of traditional iterative localization schemes shows minor differences with

The empirical-bias bandwidth selector (EBBS) is a method for data-driven selection of bandwidths for local polynomial regression. It is a bandwidth selection method for estimation of the mean-function and its partial derivatives of any order as well as for estimation of the variance-function. Moreover EBBS allows for univariate as well as multivariate predictor variables. In this paper we introd

My thesis focuses on the relationship between the local and regional level of Swedish public governance. Since decentralisation has been an ongoing trend in the public sector for at least two decades I assess this subject to be of importance for further discussion and analysis. The dissertation is meant to evaluate a few of the original purposes of decentralisation pronounced by the national admin

The article investigates whether the history of individuals’ spatial relocation has an impact on their propensity to perform an entrepreneurial entry and post-entry performance of firms they start. By looking at entrepreneurs in the IT services sector in Swedish non-core regions between 1991 and 2010, the article investigates the interaction between individuals’ embeddedness in local networks and

Growing evidence for declines in wild bees calls for the development and implementation of effective mitigation measures. Enhancing floral resources is a widely accepted measure for promoting bees in agricultural landscapes, but effectiveness varies considerably between landscapes and regions. We hypothesize that this variation is mainly driven by a combination of the direct effects of measures on
