Procedure for the synthesis of decentralized controllers for delayed bilateral teleoperation systems is proposed, based on the analytical solution of a global H2 optimization. Explicit state-space formulae for the optimal controller are presented. The controller possesses a neat structure, which preserves closed-loop stability regardless of the delay length. The behavior of the resulting teleopera
Background/Aims: Thrombocytes have proved to be important for liver regeneration after liver resection in the experimental setting. The aim of our study is to examine the effects of thrombocytes on liver hypertrophy after portal vein embolization (PVE). Methodology: This retrospective cohort study comprised 75 patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer subjected to PVE in preparation fo
Fishery regulations might not only affect the fleet, but also the relation between fisheries and downstream sectors on the ex-vessel market for fish products. This article estimates the price effects of management reform in the Swedish Baltic Sea cod fishery. In April 2011, as part of a reform process aimed at giving fishers more flexibility, vessels using active gear were given annual non-transfe
Since August 2017, more than 655,500 Rohingyas fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh escaping what has been categorized as an Ethnic Cleansing. Their legal status of stateless and non-recognized refugees in Bangladesh, combined with multiple violent encounters and their currently precarious living conditions in Bangladesh is what have turned the world’s attention to The Cox Bazar, where arguably the mos
To catalyse transition toward a more sustainable economy, the European Union is proposing several policy interventions within the regulatory framework governing the financial sector. As part of this effort, a new EU Eco-label policy for green investment funds seeks to (i) facilitate individual investor participation in the sustainable investment market and (ii) increase private sector investments
This thesis work aims to find a suitable environment for different virtualization system to achieve enhanced performance. Virtualization plays a vital role in cloud services, and it is essential to help cloud users comprehend the brief distinction between different virtualization technologies. The hypervisor-based technology has been used as the primary selection for cloud services in the past, bu
Behandling av avloppsvatten för att avlägsna ämnen som kan ha en negativ påverkan på den mänskliga hälsan och naturen är mycket viktigt innan vattnet återanvänds eller släpps ut i naturen. Intresset för anaerob vattenrening har ökat eftersom det är ett bra komplement till aeroba processer, samt för att det producerar energi i form av metangas. Målet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur olika dTreatment of wastewater is crucial for removing any compounds which can have a negative impact on human health and nature before the water is reused or released into nature. Interest in anaerobic treatment of wastewater has increased as it is a good complement to aerobic treatment, and it produces energy in form of methane. The aim of this project was to investigate how different operational para
Augmented Reality (AR) är på uppgång och många företag lägger miljontals dollar i branschen. Både Google och Apple har nyligen släppt sina egna AR SDK’er som kommer att köras på miljontals enheter inom en snar framtid. AR är verkligen fascinerande och har sagts vara nästa miljard-industri. Målet med denna avhandling är att undersöka vad som är möjligt med dagens AR för mobila enheter och undersökaAugmented Reality (AR) is on the rise and a lot of companies put millions of dollars into the industry. Both Google and Apple have recently released their own AR SDKs that will run on millions of devices in the near future. AR is really fascinating and have been said to be the next multi-billion-dollar industry. The goal of this thesis is to explore what is possible with today’s AR and what are th
Innovation är ett vidkänt koncept som har fått ökad betydelse i dagens organisationer. Uppmärksamhet har framförallt riktats till de initiala faserna av innovationsprocessen, kallade Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Att hantera FFE effektivt har blivit nödvändigt i utvecklingen av nya innovativa produkter, eftersom det kan minska cykeltider och kostnader relaterat till produktutvecklingen. Det är dock svårtInnovation is a widely known concept which has received increased importance in today's organizations. Attention has especially been directed to the initial phases of the innovation process, commonly referred to as the Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Managing the FFE effectively, has become essential in the development of innovative products, since it can reduce cycle times and costs related to product
Achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on timely and reliable information. However, standardized methodologies and regularly available data exist for only 40% of the 232 indicators. The “Data Revolution for Sustainable Development” is supposed to bridge these data gaps by harnessing ongoing developments in information technology, particularly big data. Currently existing pil
This study explores the implications of an encampment policy - criminalising refugees’ mobility beyond the borders of a camp - for the potential of Cash Based Transfer assistance in protracted refugee situations. As the success of Cash Based Transfer assistance implies market availability and access to commodities, and certain interaction between the host community and refugee population, it is ar

A total of 265 students from different faculties, most of them at Lund university, responded to a self-report questionnaire including the short form self-compassion scale (SCS-SF), the compassion scale (CS), the multidimensional ex
Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. Simple approaches, such as the commonly used engineering calculation, may provide access to a broad
