Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser (FEL) light is becoming an increasingly sought after tool for almost all scientific research aspects. MAX IV Laboratory introduced the first 4th generation light source that provides the brightest synchrotron light in the world. Since all of the experiments at MAX IV rely only on Insertion Device (ID) radiation, the need for improving ID technology has subsequen
The combination of item non response and cluster analysis is a field which has not been explored to its full extent. This study aims to investigate which consequences a data set with missing values has on the algorithm of cluster analysis and which model for imputation should be suggested in order to minimize standard error and the optimal number of clusters. Basing our research on principal compo
Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större
Interpreting EEG measurements is of great relevance, both for developing underlying neuroscientific theory and improving existing applications. In this study, two networks with different approaches to time-frequency analysis and feature selection are compared on simulated and real data for semantic and emotional perception. The first network uses the Morlet wavelet transform to achieve adaptable f

För uppkomna personskador har individer som har skadats av läkemedel tre möjligheter till ersättning: via skadeståndslagen, produktansvarslagen eller läkemedelsförsäkringen. Detta innebär att de som har skadats av ett läkemedel har möjligheten att grunda sitt skadeståndsanspråk på tre olika ansvarstyper; culpaansvar, villkorat strikt ansvar, och en ”no-fault-försäkring”. De senare ansvarstyperna hIn case of personal injury, individuals who have been injured by pharmaceuticals have three options for compensation: via the Tort Liability Act (SKL), the Product Liability Act (PAL) or the Pharmaceutical Insurance (LFF). This means that those injured by pharmaceuticals have the opportunity to base their claim for damages on three different types of responsibility grounds; culpability, strict lia
Bakgrund: Oavsiktlig anestesiutlöst hypotermi är mycket vanligt under den perioperativa processen. Hypotermi ger en ökad risk för komplikationer som ökad blödning, infektioner i operationsområdet och obehag för patienten. Syfte: Syftet är att i en systematisk litteraturstudie granska och sammanställa forskningen kring förvärmning med varmluftstäcke innan ankomst till operationsavdelningen och de

58 million children around the world lack access to education, and another 250 million children only have access to unfit schools with poor quality. Through interviews with volunteer teachers and social workers conducted during three weeks of fieldwork in Tehran, this study maps the educational situation of undocumented Afghan migrant children living in Iran, in order to understand the role of edu
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the Swedish pharmacy market and the potential influence different levels of legal pressure have on sustainability reporting. Interviews with pharmacy representatives and document analysis of sustainability reports and policies were combined, grounded in a constructivist perspective to analyze incentives for sustainability reporting. The data collected was
Denna uppsats undersöker översättning och lokalisering av dataspel för den svenska marknaden. Studien utförs mot bakgrund av att engelskan har en mycket stark ställning i Sverige och inom dataspelsgenren. Uppsatsen bygger på en korpus som består av 104 dataspel som har sålts i Sverige åren 2009-2015, vilka har hämtats från försäljningsstatistik som finns tillgänglig från organisationen Dataspelsbr
Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec
Omfattande organisationsförändingar har lett till att en av verksamhetsgrenarna inom Skanska Sverige AB fått nya förutsättningar för sina chefsroller. Syftet med studien var att skapa en bild av hur förutsättningarna för karriärutveckling såg ut inom ett antal chefsroller i verksamhetsgrenen Asfalt och Betong inom Skanska Sverige AB och på så sätt bidra till en ökad förståelse för processerna av k
Based on a qualitative approach, this study examines and problematizes how employees in a flexible organization, through the internal communication community, consolidate and renegotiate the organization's identity. Furthermore, it creates an understanding of the flexible employees ability to co-create, and their view on the importance of being able to identify themselves with the organization
We study and solve the previously unstudied problem of finding both transmitter and receiver positions using only time of arrival (TOA) measurements when there is a difference in dimensionality between the affine subspaces spanned by receivers and transmitters. Anchor-free TOA network calibration has uses both in radio, radio strength and sound applications, such as calibrating ad hoc microphone a
Understanding the uncertainty of climate models in space and time is necessary to help water resources managers and hydrologists in the selection of appropriate model for a specific application. In this paper, we use three separate methods to evaluate and compare the utility of 14 climate models for seven basins with area range of 2,656–26,355 km2 on the South Korean Peninsula. On the one hand, th
The aim of this study was to evaluate how the fixed furniture dimensions match with students' anthropometry and to describe head, upper back and upper limbs postures and movements. Evaluation was performed in 48 students from a Brazilian state school. Furniture dimensions were measured with metric tape, movements and postures by inclinometers (Logger Tecknologi, Akarp, Sweden). Seat height was hig
An activity-based vocabulary for Voice Output Communication Aids (VOCAs) was designed and evaluated through a user-centred, iterative design process, using expressions from the Gothenburg Spoken Language Corpus as well as other recorded, natural conversations. The growth and development of the vocabulary, called Phrases, was closely linked to its evaluation. The iterative design process included p
Service discovery is central in pervasive middleware systems, built on top of the communication substrate using the more fundamental mechanisms for device discovery. In mobile pervasive systems devices come and go, and switch network frequently, demanding support for device discovery across heterogeneous networks. We present the design of a device discovery mechanism for the PalCom middleware that
