The purpose of risk management in the development of safety-critical software is to eliminate or reduce harmful behaviour. In health-care it is essential to manage risk related to software due to its increased use in medical devices and other computer systems. This paper presents some of the experiences gained from an ongoing case study at a large hospital in Sweden. The study focuses on identific

Kan man göra sig en bild av Gud? För de första kristna som levde i en värld fylld av gudabilder var frågan mycket konkret. Trycket från omvärlden på att namnge och synligt presentera den kristne guden var starkt. Men hur skulle man kunna avbilda den som intet öga sett, den som inte låter sig avbildas? Hur tala om den som inget öra hört, den som är ofattbar? De här samlade artiklarna från det sjätt

It has been predicted theoretically that for some environments, the capacity of wireless MIMO systems can become very low, even for uncorrelated signals; this effect has been termed "keyhole" or "pinhole". We present the first unique measurements of this effect. The measurements were performed in a controlled indoor environment that was designed to obtain a keyhole. We analyze the limitations for

Considers the problem of moving a container with liquid without too much slosh in an industrial packaging machine, There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine to use for control, it is however possible to measure the slosh in a testbed. The problem is to determine the shape of the open loop acceleration reference that is programmed in the motion control system that controls the m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det doktorandarbete som framläggs av Pawel Brühl handlar om flera aspekter av ett framgångsrikt genomfört bullerskyddsarbete i en stor svensk industri med mycket hög bullernivå (Volvos pressverk i Olofström).

When thin sheets containing a crack is subjected to tensile loading in the direction perpendicular to the crack surface out of plane displacement will occur in areas surrounding the crack. By this the stress state in the vicinity of the crack tip is changed and leads to a weaker crack tip singularity than the r-1/2 by linear elastic fracture mechanics. During lab testing the buckling is artificial

Popular Abstract in Swedish Storbritannien beslutade sig 1968 för att lämna bakom sig sina koloniala intressen i Persiska gulfen senast 1971. Det brittiska beslutet ledde till att de arabiska gulfstaterna Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudiarabien, Qatar, Förenade Arabemiraten och Oman i sin tur började undersöka möjliga samarbetsformer för att möta en ny tids osäkerhet och hot.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a method used for estimation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in clinical work and in research. The aim of thesis was to study CBF in demented and non-demented elderly persons with special reference to blood pressure changes. Elderly women with senile dementia of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är välkänt att patienter som har gjort ett suicidförsök löper en ökad risk att i framtiden ta sitt liv. I de flesta fall görs suicidförsök av individer som på något sätt är utsatta för stress. Stress kan orsakas av en psykisk eller fysisk sjukdom. Psykosociala faktorer, såsom en skilsmässa eller en annan ohållbar situation i hemmet eller på arbetet, kan också förorsA suicide attempt is the best known predictor of completed suicide. It has long been assumed that most suicide attempts are the results of stress. The aim of this thesis was to examine some stress related peptides and their relations to the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, diagnoses and temperament in a heterogeneous group of suicide attempters shortly after a suicide attempt and at foll
