This work presents a data-driven model to simulate the mechanical behavior of the breast tissues in real time. The aim of this model is to speed up some multimodal registration algorithms, as well as some image-guided interventions. Ten virtual breast phantoms were used in this work. Their deformation during a mammography was performed off-line using the finite element method. Three machine learni
The housing sector accounts for roughly 30% of the total annual energy consumption in the developed nations. Notwithstanding, sustainable housing management has not received sufficient attention previously, even though the role of housing managers can be considered significant in reducing the energy consumption of existing residential buildings. This study proposes a concept for a comprehensive an
This paper presents the design and characterization of millimeter-wave (28/38 GHz), circularly polarized (CP) active antennas, suitable for the future 5G services. By augmenting the modelling capabilities of commercially available nonlinear CAD tools, the active antenna design can simultaneously optimize figures of merits for both radiation and non-linear (NL) performance. The radiating part is co
This article describes a pathway for collaboration between transplant healthcare professionals and organ recipients. Under the umbrella of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) a joint initiative started from three Sections and Committees of ESOT: EDTCO (European Donation and Transplant Coordination Organisation), ETHAP (European Transplant Allied Healthcare Professionals) and ELPA
This paper is a part of a larger project where we longitudinally (over seven years) analyze the implementation process of a policy instigating written assessment criteria for all courses in a traditional university faculty. The overarching question is: How does educational policy influence educational practice? The project adhere to a complex perspective on implementation (Gornitzka et al., 2005) This paper is a part of a larger project where we longitudinally (over seven years) analyze the implementation process of a policy instigating written assessment criteria for all courses in a traditional university faculty.

The 2030 Agenda of the United Nations comprises 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 sub-targets which serve as a global reference point for the transition to sustainability. The agenda acknowledges that different issues such as poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, environmental degradation, among others, are intertwined and can therefore only be addressed together. Impl
Mitochondria are central organelles in the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system via the integration of several physiological processes, such as ATP generation via oxidative phosphorylation, synthesis/exchange of metabolites, calcium sequestration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production/buffering and control of cellular survival/death. Mitochondrial impairment has been widely recognized as a
The multifunctionality of forest systems calls for appropriately complex modelling approaches to capture social and ecosystem dynamics. Using a social-ecological systems framework, we review the functionality of 31 existing agent-based models applied to managed forests. Several applications include advanced cognitive and emotional decision-making, crucial for understanding complex sustainability c
Omvärderingsregeln, som är en mervärdesskatterättslig regel, infördes i svensk rätt 2008 för att kunna motverka skatteundandragande och skatteflykt vid tillhandahållanden mot felaktig ersättning mellan personer som är förbundna med varandra. Den situation som identifierats som vanligast är att tillhandahållanden sker mot en för låg ersättning när tillhandahållaren har full avdragsrätt för mervärdeThe reevaluation rule, which is a VAT-related rule, was introduced into Swedish law in 2008 to counteract tax evasion and tax avoidance in transactions when incorrect compensation between connected persons are made. The situation identified as most common is that transactions occur for too low compensation when the provider has full deduction rights for VAT and the purchaser wholly or partially la
I denna uppsats utreds och analyseras hur rättsväsendet hanterar hatbrott begångna på internet. År 2013 rapporterade Brottsförebyggande rådet att personuppklarningen vad gäller hatbrott begångna på internet är mycket låg. Följaktligen fortsätter uppsatsen med att identifiera orsakerna till den låga personuppklarningen samt de brister rättsväsendet besitter på området. I avslutande del av uppsatsenThis paper is set out to investigate and analyze how the judicial system handles hate crime committed on the internet. In 2013 the Swedish national council of crime prevention (Brå) reported that the clearance rate in terms of hate crime committed on the internet is very low. Hence the paper continues with identifying the causes of the low clearance rate and the shortcomings the judicial system po
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between alexithymia, exhaustion syndrome and well-being. The examination was designed as a crosssectional study in which the measures TAS-20, KEDS and BBQ was administered by a survey online. A total of 557 participants were recruited. The results showed that higher degree of alexithymia was connected to more severe symptoms of exhaustion s
A Power Amplifier (PA) is an essential electronic component in all microwave and millimeter-wave applications and, more specifically, in any transmitting system where the level of input power signal needs amplification to the desired level.Linearity and high efficiency are of utmost importance in PAs. However, high-efficiency PAs tend to be non-linear, and PAs working in the linear region might ha
År 2015 antog FN:s länder en agenda för hållbar utveckling som idag kallas för Agenda 2030. Agendan omfattar 17 globala mål samt 169 delmål som skapades för att världen över kunna uppnå en ekonomisk, social samt ekologisk hållbarhet. Dessa mål bygger på millenniemålen där syftet är att slutföra det som inte uppnåddes. Begreppet hållbarhet kan definieras på olika sätt och kan därmed uppfattas olikaIn 2015, the UN countries adopted an agenda for sustainable development, it is today called the 2030 Agenda. The agenda includes 17 global goals and 169 targets that were created to achieve economic, social and ecological sustainability worldwide. These goals are based on the Millennium Development Goals, the purpose of which is to complete what was not achieved. The concept of sustainability can
The bulk of Norwegian offshore oil and gas platforms are self-sustained with energy, burning a portion of the extracted gas in turbines to power production. Replacing this energy with electricity from renewables – electrifying – has been put forward as a way to quickly slash domestic emissions. This, all while retaining and expanding fossil fuel production, whose lion’s share of emissions stem not
The aim of this essay was to analyze how the child sex tourism is looked upon and how Swedish actors on the global arena act against the child sex tourism in Thailand. The United Nations define child sex tourism as "trips organized from within the tourism sector, or from outside this sector but using its structures and networks, with the primary purpose of effecting a commercial sexual relati
Title: An examination of the need for resources when shifting from a print based business model to a digital business model in the newspaper industry Date of the seminar: May 2, 2012 Course: Master Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and degree project (Master thesis 15 ECTS) Author: Dallyce Sax Advisor: Joakim Winborg Keywords: Need for resources, business model change, org
The aim of this masters’ thesis is to examine how libraries can better services for patrons with invisible disabilities. My hypothesis is that although libraries are legally obliged to pay special attention to persons with disabilities, in reality the special needs of persons with invisible disabilities are often ignored. Invisible disabilities are disabilities that are not immediately apparent. T
Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en rättsdogmatisk metod och ett kritiskt perspektiv granska hur underlåtenhet påverkar bedömningen av straffvärdet i en domstols straffmätning och undersöka om underlåtenhet verkligen ska ses som en förmildrande omständighet. Uppsatsen behandlar själva utformningen av principerna kring underlåtenhetsbrott enligt Jareborgs garantlära i svensk rätt idag och en utredThe purpose of this essay is to use a legal dogmatic method, and with a critical perspective, analyse how the fact that a crime is one of omission, thus caused by a failure to act, affects the Court's judgement on a suitable sentence. Is the fact that a crime is an omission automatically a mitigating factor that leads to a lesser sentence? This essay treats the general legal principles and the
Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. Modern telescopes, both ground- and space-based, like the Very Large Telescope (VLT) or the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will drive forward the
