The second order random walk (RW2) model is commonly used for smoothing data and for modelling response functions. It is computationally efficient due to the Markov properties of the joint (intrinsic) Gaussian density. For evenly spaced locations the RW2 model is well established, whereas for irregularly spaced locations there is no well established construction in the literature. By considering t

This paper describes the research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. This research was undertaken in an aerospace company, which designs and manufactures aero engines and also offers contracts, under which it remains responsible for

Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett livsvärldsfenomenologiskt perspektiv dokumentera sång-ares upplevelse av sitt sångtekniska och musikaliska lärande i grupp och i förekommande fall sätta detta i relation till deras upplevelse av en enskild undervisning, samt att studera vilka faktorer som kan ha varit utslagsgivande för dessa upplevelser. Studien är kvalitativ och genomfördes som aktionsforsknTitle: Individual development in group - voice lessons together with and through others. The purpose of this study is to, from a life-world phenomenological point of view, document how singers experience their vocal technical and musical learning in group and in to relate this to their experience of a private lesson and to study what factors have been decisive for these experiences. This study is

Denna uppsats handlar om en grupp flyktingar som blivit utsatta för etnisk rensning av bosnienserbiska soldater under kriget i Ljubija, en stad i nordvästra Bosnien. Flyktingarna är bosnienmuslimer och bosnienkroater till sin etnicitet. Efter kriget har de återvänt till Ljubija som nu kontrolleras av bosnienserber. Syftet med uppsatsen är att försöka upptäcka och beskriva de problematiska sociala

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka huruvida ett nationalekonomiskt perspektiv, genom kostnads-intäktsanalys, kan bidra till att bredda diskussionen om Kriminalvården och dess effektiviseringsarbete. De mått som idag används för att beskriva fångvårdens effektivitet utgörs av bl.a. återfallsbrottslighet, påbörjade samt avslutade behandlingsprogram och antalet rymningar från anstalt. Ingen e

Enligt vår empiri kan lärande uppstå även i nätverk som inte är skapade med grundtanke att lära. Nätverksplattformen är en viktig grund för att lärandet ska kunna utvecklas, vi ser dock lite annorlunda på tid och resurser då teorin säger att den är tidskrävande, medan vi menar motsatsen. Vi anser även att Nätverksplattformen behöver kompletteras. Här utgör bland annat struktur och rutiner en vikti

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda hur en organisation kan främja och tillvarata sin kreativa potential. För att finna svar på frågeställningen tog vi till en början till oss litteratur inom kreativitets-, organisations- och förändringsområdena och identifierade därigenom åtta viktiga, återkommande faktorer för att främja och tillvarata kreativitet. Dessa är vision, kontinuitet, delaktighet, mångf

To introduce a standardized component assortment takes a lot of effort in order to make real cost savings. The rationalization effect itself is important, but perhaps even more important is to state the aim of the standardization efforts in a well-defined way. How can an organization assure that they are working in a proper way? How do they know that their efforts are being interpreted into the wh

We theoretically investigate the properties of ultracold dipolar atoms in radially coupled, concentric annular traps created by a potential barrier. The nonrotating ground-state phases are investigated across the superfluid-supersolid phase transition, revealing a particle imbalance between the two rings and a preferential density modulation in the outer ring in the absence of rotation. Near the p

Pathogenic bacterial infections lead to bacterial resistance and biofilm formation, causing significant suffering and presenting an urgent issue to be addressed. Polymer materials have garnered considerable attention in the antibacterial field due to their functional moldability and molecular structure designability. These materials can achieve various antibacterial functions by regulating their m

Importance: Prenatal intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) interventions that promote adequate gestational weight gain (GWG) have had variable and mostly modest effects on clinically relevant maternal and infant outcomes. It is unknown whether different maternal obesity metabolic phenotypes underlie the heterogeneity in response. Objective: To examine GWG, adverse perinatal outcomes, substrate change

Quantum instruments describe both the classical outcome and the updated state associated with a quantum measurement. We ask whether these processes can be simulated using only a natural subset of resources, namely projective measurements on the system and quantum processing of the postmeasurement states. We show that the simulability of instruments can be connected to an entanglement classificatio

Introduction: Myocarditis is a complex cardiac disorder with multifactorial etiology, characterized by myocardial inflammation, cardiomyocyte damage, and fibrosis. Left untreated, myocarditis may lead to acute and chronic heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias. Reliable experimental models of myocarditis are required to study the underlying pathological mechanisms of the disease and to dev

The concept of scattering contrast is central to (small-angle) scattering of neutrons, X-rays, and visible light, as it defines the visibility to the radiation of the nano- and mesostructures under scrutiny, in their respective solvent or matrix. In this chapter, we start with the scattering process by elementary scatterers, such as nuclei or atoms, which produce secondary, scattered waves, and th

Background: Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) and Paleolithic Diet Score (PDS) are both measures of how closely a food intake conforms to a Paleolithic dietary pattern. PDF is calculated directly from an individual’s absolute food intake and PDS is an aggregated score based on an individual’s food intake relative to a population. Both are inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortal

Objective: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) might improve the results of below the knee (BTK) angioplasty, but sufficient randomized data comparing DCB and conventional angioplasty in treating patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) are lacking. This study aimed to perform a randomized comparison between a paclitaxel-coated angioplasty balloon catheter and a conventional balloon angioplas
