In this paper, 2 adaptive spectral estimation techniques are analyzed for spectral Doppler ultrasound. The purpose is to minimize the observation window needed to estimate the spectrogram to provide a better temporal resolution and gain more flexibility when designing the data acquisition sequence. The methods can also provide better quality of the estimated power spectral density (PSD) of the blo
The current study was designed to critically evaluate the notion that cancer stem cell (CSC)-like cells constitute a subpopulation of cells within experimental gliomas. Virtually all cells within the N29 and N32 rat glioma models homogenously expressed CD133, the stem/progenitor marker nestin as well as the neural lineage markers glial fibrillary acidic protein, betaIII-tubulin, and CNPase in vitr
Auger CVV spectra of simple metals are generally believed to be well described by one-electron-like theories in the bulk which account for matrix elements and, in some cases, also static core-hole screening effects. We present here detailed calculations on Li, Be, Na, Mg, and Al using self-consistent bulk wave functions and proper matrix elements. The resulting spectra differ markedly from experim
The paper will argue that the centre-periphery dynamics of the modernisation of sexuality is more complex and difficult to grasp than is usually shown in queer studies and gay history. Existing historiography on the emerging of a modern gay and lesbian identity has failed to study the links between different sites for the emergence of a gay and lesbian subculture. The contacts between Greenland
The literature reveals an importance of social work in relation to all phases of crisis and disaster (Desai, 2007; IASSW 2010) and a potential to strengthen its role further (UNISDR 2015; Dominelli, 2012). Yet, little is known as regards the Swedish context. Given the centrality of municipalities in the emergency system and Social Services as a central municipal assignment it could be expected to
Det nordiska centret för genus i militära operationer är ett nordiskt säkerhetssamarbete som startades 2012, på Livgardet i Stockholm. Genus har inte varit en del av den militära diskursen väldigt länge och flera anser att den inte behöver bli det heller. Gendercentret utmanar således den traditionella synen på militären och dess uppgifter. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur GendercentreThe Nordic Center for Gender in Military Operations is a Nordic security cooperation, which started in 2012, at the Lifeguards in Stockholm. Gender has not been a part of the military discourse for a very long time, and some believe that it should not be now either. Hence, the Center challenges the traditional view of the military and its tasks. The purpose of this study is to investigate the Cent
Denna uppsats har som syfte att studera hur svenska väljare tänker kring koalitionsbygge och om detta påverkar åsikten om en partiledare från ett annat parti än det man röstat på. Uppsatsens teori fokuserar därför på en ökad personifiering inom politiken samt koalitionsbygge, då det i dagens samhälle finns en ökad förståelse gällande vikten av att samarbeta mellan partier för att lättare kunna genThis essay aims to study how Swedish voters think about coalition building and if this affects the view of a party leader from another party than the one you voted for. The theory of the essay therefore focuses on increased personalization in politics and coalition building, as in today's society there is an increased understanding of the importance of collaborating between parties to facilita
This thesis is oriented around designing the world first inelastic hyperspectral LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) system for aquatic use. The system was designed around the task of monitoring zooplankton and environmental indicators in water. Scheimpflug lidar was previously developed for monitoring flying insects, aerosols and gases. Here we extend the concept to inelastic hyperspectral ranging ca
Open Source projects are collaborative processes that generate value for users but generally disallow actors to generate revenue directly from the product that is developed. Nonetheless, many companies are involved in Open Source projects. Therefore it is of interest to study what kind of mechanisms are involved in how companies capture value from Open Source project involvement, and also what kin
En biologisk mångfald är en förutsättning för oss människor och alla levande organismer på jorden. Tusentals djurarter utsätts för en massiv utrotning och den internationella handeln med djur som är utrotningshotade är en bidragande orsak. Insikten av mångfaldens betydelse och handelns negativa påverkan på hotade arter föranledde framväxten av konventionen om internationell handel med utrotningshoBiodiversity is essential for all living organisms on earth. Many species are subject to a mass extinction and international trade in endangered species is a contributing factor. The realization of the significance of biodiversity and the negative impact of uncontroled trade in endangered species led to the emergence of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora
In Nepal, dams have been targeted as the most viable means of energy generation. However, dam projects often necessitate the relocation and resettlement of people to make way for reservoirs; processes that may pose great challenges for affected people, given that their homes, land, and livelihoods are lost to some extent. This thesis analyzes the challenges facing the Nepali state in ensuring th
Anknytningens påverkan på implicita emotionella åsikter gentemot vårdnadsgivare studerades genom ett experiment som innehöll en affektiv priming uppgift liknande den välkända lexikala beslutsuppgiften ”lexical decision task” (LDT). Reaktionstiden i millisekunder för varje prime och mål ord kombination registrerades och användes som indikator för den associativa styrkan mellan de två. Två anknytninThe influence of attachment quality and style on implicit emotional opinions towards caregivers was measured using an affective priming task very similar to a lexical decision task. The reaction time in milliseconds for each prime and target word combination was recorded and used and indication of associative strength between the two. Two attachment tests was administered, the ASQ-Sw questionnaire
The Mesopotamian Marshlands form one of the first landscapes where people started to transform and manipulate the natural environment in order to sustain human habitation. For thousands of years people transformed natural ecosystems into agricultural fields, residential clusters and other agglomerated environments to sustain long term settlement. Moreover, the Mesopotamian Marshlands, located in o
Digitalisation has had a profound effect on our society. Much of our daily lives revolve around digital errands that, providing we have the appropriate skills, provide us with innumerous conveniences. Unfortunately for those who do not have such competencies, these normal everyday tasks have become unmanageable and as a result of the McDonaldization of society there are very few places to which th
Off-grid solar products play an essential role in increasing and improving rural energy access, thereby reducing poverty and mitigating climate change. Experiencing fast market growth in Central and Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, off-grid solar products will represent 50% of the newly established electricity connections in the world between 2017 and 2030. Despite such benefits and market su
“You smell that? Smell that. This is legacy.” - Aldo Gucci [Al Pacino, The House of Gucci] Recently, the movie ‘House of Gucci’ was released revolving around the dark twists and turns that the brand Gucci went through internally. Including the rise and fall of the Gucci dynasty, from betrayal to murder. While based on actual events, the movie is heavily dramatized. While it is certainly entertaini
This Master Thesis proposes to use a Spatial Hawkes Process to model the news flow in the world. The spatial part is divided in both geographical areas as well as different topics. Therefore, in the Hawkes model every news article corresponds to a point in space and time. In a certain region and topic the intensity of the released articles will be modelled with the Hawkes Process. This can be of i
Humanity's current resource use patterns are unsustainable, and corrective action is required at all levels. Grassroots social innovation groups have great potential to contribute to solutions. The Transition movement has taken hold in Canada, but little is known about its successes and challenges in creating conditions for transformative change. Aimed at social innovation practitioners as w
Public participation is vital to ensure sustainable water management, and providing education is one of the way to trigger participation. For decades, developed countries try to educate their citizen to be environmentally literate, and for the water sector, water-related knowledge has been introduced to the public by schools, municipalities and water utilities. The condition is harder for developi
