This article discusses the drivers behind why Swedes move to Portugal and who these migrants are. The conceptual framework is based on lifestyle migration and considers migration as a process. Using a semi-structured interview guide, designed according to a life-course approach, 36 in-depth interviews with Swedes permanently residing in Portugal were conducted. The findings display that only a sma

This paper discusses the role of medium towns as crucial anchors in achieving the policy goal of Territorial Cohesion. It highlights the need to counterbalance market trends to favour the continuous channelling of investment and people into larger metropolitan areas by way of proactive measures focused on attracting investment into medium towns, and as an alternative to dispersing public and priva

The aim of this study is to analyse the initial settlement patterns of 10 immigrant groups during differing times and in circumstances in terms of labour market conditions, structural transformation and changes in the Swedish immigration policy. The regression analyses are based on cross-section period data for the years 1975, 1990 and 2005 at a regional level. In this study, region refers to coun

MAX IV is a fourth generation synchrotron facility at Lund, Sweden. It is composed of a full energy linear accelerator and two storage rings with 1.5 GeV and 3 GeV, which requires hundreds of beam position monitors. In this context, Libera Single Pass E and Libera Brilliance+ are employed as BPM instruments. This paper will present an overview of the control system suite used in the facility, incl

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) plays an important role in beyond 5G systems to support high data rate and low latency, especially operating at millimeter-wave frequency bands. In traditional software-based simulators, the simulation time increases exponentially with the number of base station antennas and served users. We propose a hardware-in-loop simulator that combines the flexib

Research on monoclonal antibody (mAb) has considerably gained importance during the last decades, not only for cancer therapy but also for its importance in variety of fields. Unfortunately, the development phase can take several years before obtaining FDA approval, hence alternative approaches that could potentially shorten this timeline are critically needed. For instance, flow-injection analysi

Wildlife globally is under threat, especially in sub-saharan Africa, with poaching as a major factor. The animals are a part of a biological ecosystem and also a key for tourism and hence the economies of many African countries. To help preserve wildlife and prevent poaching, technologies such as AI cameras and dashboards offer a crucial tool. The technologies need to be purchased and distributed,

The Hawkes process, also referred to as a self-exciting point process, is a class of point processes where the intensity is conditioned on previous events. More specifically, an event occurrence excites the process, temporarily increasing the probability of more events occurring. One application of Hawkes processes is to model occurrences of crimes, such as burglaries or shootings. The present the

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa står för nästan hälften av sjukfrånvaron i Sverige, varav de flesta fall beror på stressrelaterad ohälsa. Arbetsterapeutiska interventioner är ett alternativ för individer med stressrelaterad ohälsa då de kan vara i behov av förändringar som kan främja en god aktivitetsbalans. Syfte: Undersöka arbetsterapeutiska interventioner inom primärvården för vuxna individer med strBackground: Mental illness accounts for almost half of sickness absence in Sweden, of which most cases are due to stress-related illness. Occupational therapy interventions are an option for individuals with stress-related illness as they may be in need of changes that can promote a good activity balance. Aim: To explore the effects of occupational therapy interventions in primary care for adults

Administration av T-celler via en artificiell vävnadsrekonstruktion är en lovande metod för att behandla inoperabla tumörer. Traditionella vävnadsrekonstruktionsmaterial saknar den komplexitet som finns hos det extracellulära matrixet (ECM), där celler vanligtvis lever. Ett alternativ är då att använda decellulariserat ECM (dECM) som material när man skapar den artificiella vävnadsrekonstruktionenT-cell administration via a scaffold is a promising tool for treatment of inoperable solid tumours. Traditional scaffold materials lack the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that cells normally grow in. An alternative is to instead use decellularised ECM (dECM) from biological tissue to create the scaffold. By making the scaffold via 3D-printing, its construction can also be a part of m

The aim of this bachelor degree project is to design a modular luminaire with a longer lifespan, in order to reduce consumption. The project aims to explore how design can contribute to sustainable development by creating a durable and adaptable lighting solution. The luminaire is versatile and can either be hung from the ceiling, mounted on the wall, or placed on a table. It can be expanded

This thesis explores the use of Hydra for real-time reconstruction of environments in extended reality (XR). The development of the prototype was performed in an iterative manner. Three iterations were executed, each resulting in a prototype with improvements related to the takeaways from the preceding prototype. The final prototype consisted of two scenes. The first scene consisted of rendered f

A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an expone

Every company on the verge of market entry faces a myriad of tough choices. Few are as fateful as which go-to-market strategy a company chooses to establish a foothold, entailing crossroads such as whether to prioritise growth or profitability and how to structure sales. This is the position that the white label insurtech Alpha Insurance find themselves in, with a go-to-market strategy in place bu

The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is increasing in developed countries, and OPC is associated with human papillomavirus infection [1, 2]. Immunotherapies show promise as an end-stage treatment for immune-infiltrated tumours. They are only efficacious in 18% of patients leading to investigation of the immune compartment to comprehend which factors contribute to effective treatments. Anti-

As a Latin American country, Peru faces numerous challenges due to the fast urban development without adequate urban planning. Consequently, many Peruvian cities grapple with the repercussions of natural disasters. One of those is Piura characterized by its hydrology because of the quantity of basins it has, and the fast increase of population over the last 60 years. Because of its hydrology and

Canada pledged to achieve net zero by 2050 and important efforts revolving around the energy transition of electricity generation systems toward renewables sources are being carried. Currently, most renewable systems developed are occurring on Indigenous communities’ lands for various reasons. Climatic conditions are suitable for solar and wind-based solutions, space is available, and this trend c
