The process of selecting requirements for a release of a software product is challenging as the decision-making is based on uncertain predictions of issues such as market value and development cost. This paper presents a method aimed at supporting software product development organisations in the identification of process improvement proposals to increase requirements selection quality. The method
Greater central artery stiffness is observed in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Elevated blood pressure (BP) and altered arterial wall structure/composition in T2DM are generally considered as main drivers for this alteration. However, because conventional arterial stiffness measures are BP-dependent and as such an influence of BP remains in a measure, it is unclear if greater central artery s
This lecture is a brief introduction to charged particle accelerators. The aim is to provide the reader with basic concepts and tools needed to describe the motion of charged particles under the action of guiding and focussing fields, with an emphasis on those aspects that are relevant to understanding and quantifying how accelerator vacuum systems affect accelerator performance. Even though the f
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Polymorphic molecules expressed on the surface of certain blood cells are traditionally categorized as blood groups and human platelet or neutrophil antigens. CD36 is widely considered a platelet antigen (Nak a ) and anti-CD36 can cause foetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in CD36-negative pregnant women. CD36 is used as a marker of differentiation in ear
Att gårdsförsäljning av alkoholdrycker ska bli en verklighet i Sverige är något som många vill se. För att gårdsförsäljningen ska kunna existera vid sidan om det svenska alkoholmonopolet krävs att den är förenlig med rådande EU-rätt. Centralt för den EU-rättsliga regleringen är upprätthållandet av en inre marknad där det råder fri rörlighet för varor. Artikel 37 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionens
This study explores why men's employment rates remain relatively stable after childbirth, in contrast to the significant changes often observed in women's employment. Despite progress in gender equality, cultural, economic, and structural factors continue to influence parental work patterns across European countries. Using survey data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP),
Through semi-structured interviews conducted with representatives of three different NGOs located in The Gambia, this qualitative study explores how practices and activities in the organisations improve educational opportunities for girls in the country. The study identifies specific societal challenges that the NGOs try to remedy with their work, and what the focus is in their capacity building.
Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka hur individer ställer sig till yttrandefrihet respektive reglering, beroende på experimentell manipulation genom vinjetter, kön samt ideologisk tillhörighet. Det förväntades att deltagarna som tar del av vinjetten om reglering uppfattar fördomsfulla yttranden som mer allvarliga och i större behov av reglering, jämfört med de som tar del av vinjettenThis study aimed to investigate how individuals position themselves regarding freedom of speech versus regulation, depending on experimental manipulation through vignettes, gender and ideological affiliation. Participants shown the regulation vignette were hypothesised to view prejudiced statements as more severe and needing more regulation than those shown a freedom of speech vignette or the cont
This thesis studies protection as integral to security. Protection has been used to keep women from the ‘public sphere’ and abused by peacekeepers and patriarchs alike, suggesting that being protected is not synonymous with being safe but can cause violence and exclusion. From that contradiction, I ask how the concepts of protection and security are produced, and to what effects for (gender) equal
This report describes the development of a green design camera concept for Axis Communications AB. The problem description for this thesis stated that the concept should be developed by modifying one of Axis current products to achieve a decrease in environmental impact. Also, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) of the camera should not be increased and the concept should be able to fulfill the same mec
In this thesis, the compatibility between the standards developed in ISO/TC 223 – Societal Security and the standards developed in ISO/TC 262 – Risk Management, is examined. A joint qualitative method of analysis, consisting of document analysis and semi-structured interviews, is applied. With the help of an operational definition of compatibility, the study results in a coefficient of compatibili
Barriers to decision quality were reported by 473 administrative officers and investigators in three Swedish national public authorities: the Tax Agency, Social Insurance Agency, and Police Authority. In line with previous research, we assumed that limited possibilities to plan one’s work would hinder decision quality. Both disruption of workflow and high workload were reported to inhibit work pla
Objective: To compare the assessments of 10-year probability by patients and their physicians of cardiovascular complications of hypertension with actual outcomes. Design: Patients with uncomplicated hypertension treated with at least one antihypertensive drug at inclusion were followed for 10 years through mandatory national health registers. Setting: 55 primary health care centres, 11 hospital o

The transdisciplinary fields of design and feminist technoscience share a common interest in focusing on the world in a state of always becoming, always changing. Within feminist technoscience, norm-critical perspectives are implemented to shed light on unequal sociotechnical infrastructures. Within design research, generative methods of critical design and design fiction encourage processes of fi
We aim to reinforce the importance of more qualitative empirical studies researching the particularities of co-creation efforts, in the context of new, ambiguous mutations of work and organization generated by internet technologies. While answering our research question we will look into personal accounts referring to the individual’s experience of volunteering for Mozilla, and we will contribute
The period of 1880-1910 was a time of fast modernization and industrialization in Transylvania. Fertility decline only started in the South, while in the North there was a marked fertility increase. This paper attempts to explain these differences, using a cross-sectional analysis of fertility for 4112 Transylvanian settlements. The factors affecting fertility are modeled using the Eastrelin-Crimm
