The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate complications after CS, outline options for their management and to assess strategies to increase the rate of vaginal deliveries after CS (VBAC).Paper I was a prospective study where women were offered to have an additional appo
Electricité de France (EDF) operates a large fleet of nuclear reactors and is responsible for demonstrating the safety of facilities, including concrete containment buildings (CCB), which are non-replaceable components. The leak-tightness of CCBs is assessed every 10 years during integrated leak-rate tests (IRLT). For double-wall containments, which have no metallic liners, the leak-tightness is s
Background: There is considerable evidence for the importance of the DNA methylome in metabolic health, for example, a robust methylation signature has been associated with body mass index (BMI). However, visceral fat (VF) mass accumulation is a greater risk factor for metabolic disease than BMI alone. In this study, we dissect the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) methylome signature relevant to
Background: Early blight, caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Alternaria solani, is an economically important disease affecting the tuber yield worldwide. The disease is mainly controlled by chemical plant protection agents. However, over-using these chemicals can lead to the evolution of resistant A. solani strains and is environmentally hazardous. Identifying genetic disease resistance fa
Background: Data quickly emerges as a core driver of businesses across the worlddue to rapidly expanding use in different areas, such as Machine Learning. In orderfor the data-related organizational operations to be efficient, the topic of data shar-ing has to be explored. This thesis focuses on understanding inter-organizationaldata sharing by exploring practices and challenges that are present w
There is widespread criticism that place marketing initiatives contribute mainly to the commodification of places (Lichrou and Panayiotopoulos, 2021; Kavaratizis et al., 2018; Kavaratzis et al., 2017) and to the commodification of the climate crisis (Fletcher 2019). Place marketing is seen here only as a strategic management tool to make a place recognisable in the minds of different stakeholders,
This bookThis book has become the leading source for empirical software engineering research through its earlier editions. It provides an in-depth introduction to experimentation in software engineering. The focus is on the steps to go through to conduct an experiment. It also introduces a structure for selecting a research design and an introduction to systematic literature reviews, surveys, and
Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a
The focus in this thesis has been active power from small scale solar production and what possible impacts an increased proportion of small scale production can have, in a larger context, during short circuit (SC) faults in the grid. The main research question prompting this work was whether active power from small scale solar pro- duction can help support voltages during SC faults, and meet LVRT-
Purpose: This investigation was designed to examine the effects of self-monitored training combined with the use of delayed auditory feedback (DAF), on the accuracy of articulation in acquired apraxia of speech (AOS). Background: The increased number of stroke survivors leads to higher societal costs when it comes to e.g., rehabilitation. Speech and language deficits post stroke can be diminished
Den organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige går som på ett löpande band i stigande riktning. Brottsbekämpande myndigheter gör vad de kan för att motverka denna utveckling men det blir allt svårare att hålla hårt i tyglarna. I ett försök att underlätta dessa myndigheters arbete beslutade regeringen den 5 augusti 2021 att tillsätta en särskild utredning med uppdrag att se över den lagstiftning som åOrganized crime in Sweden is on a continuous upward trend. Law enforcement authorities are doing what they can to counteract this development, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain control. In an attempt to facilitate the work of these authorities, the Government decided on August 5, 2021, to appoint a special inquiry tasked with reviewing the legislation that obliges providers of
De europeiska statsmakterna var under 1600-talet starkt influerade av idén om absolutism och under århundradet utvecklades flera enväldiga stater i Europa. En statskupp i Danmark och en stegvis förändring i Sverige gjorde att även de skandinaviska länderna blev etablerade envälden under senare hälften av 1600-talet. Syftet har varit att undersöka och jämföra enväldeskungarnas maktbefogenheter unDuring the 17th century, the regimes of European countries were heavily influenced by the idea of absolutism, leading to the emergence of several absolutist states during that time. In the second half of the 17th century, a coup staged by the king in Denmark and a gradual shift led by the king in Sweden ensured the establishment of similar absolutist states in Scandinavia. The purpose of this pap
The goal of Master`s thesis is to design a power amplifier as part of a transmitter operating at 71-86GHz using the 22nm technology. The primary objective is to design a narrowband power amplifier for E-band at 80GHz. The output power range is 14-20dBm power added efficiency around 14% - 18%. The additional aim is investigating what new circuit concepts need to be used at 80GHz compared to 40GH
LSS stadgar rätten till insatser för vissa personer med funktionsnedsättning. Den enskilde ska genom insatserna få möjlighet att kunna leva som andra och tillförsäkras goda levnadsvillkor. En av dessa insatser är personlig assistans som innebär ett personligt utformat stöd för personer med stora och varaktiga funktionshinder. Bedömningen av rätten till insatsen är baserad på tid som fattningen av The Act on Support and Service for Person with Certain Functional Impairments (hereafter LSS) is an entitlement law. Individuals that meet the criteria specified by the act are entitled to measures pursuant to LSS. The measures pursuant to LSS shall guarantee good living conditions and the objective of LSS is to give the individual the opportunity to live like others. One of these measures pursuan
Integrationsklausuler har sitt ursprung i den angloamerikanska rätten och är numera vanligt förekommande i svenska kommersiella avtal. Avsikten med en integrationsklausul är att göra enbart det skriftliga avtalets innehåll giltigt som underlag för avtalets innebörd. Frågan om integrationsklausulers rättsverkan i svensk avtalsrätt har inte besvarats i varken lagtext eller praxis. Emellertid har detMerger clauses originate from Anglo American law but have become a commonly used type of clause in Swedish commercial contracts. The purpose of a merger clause is to exclude all considerations apart from the written contract from the interpretation of the contract. The question of what legal effect the merger clauses have in Swedish contract law has not been answered, neither in written law nor in
Upphovsmannabegreppet och skyddsramen för verk som genereras av artificiell intelligens (AI) har under de senaste åren varit ett omdebatterat ämne inom den juri-diska sfären. AI har fått en allt större roll i samhället och användningen av AI-system för att skapa kreativa verk har tilltagit. Detta har lett till flera utmaningar inom upphovsrätten, särskilt möjligheten att skydda sådana kulturföremåThe concept of authorship and the protection framework for works generated by artificial intelligence (AI) have been topics of debate within the legal sphere in recent years. AI has played an increasingly significant role in society, and the use of AI systems to create original works has increased. This has led to several challenges in copyright law, particularly the ability to protect such creati

Background: The current mass proliferation of information and communication technology (“ICT”) has created the ability to communicate with customers and manage energy production in unprecedented ways. With the arrival of “smart” energy meters and wireless communication, a new level of customer interaction is possible. In this scenario, a “smart grid” is created in which multiple energy meters are
Stater ingår skatteavtal huvudsakligen i syfte att undanröja internationell juridisk dubbelbeskattning, som anses uppställa ett hinder för utvecklingen av mellanstatliga ekonomiska förbindelser. I skatteavtal förpliktigar sig stater att begränsa sina skatteanspråk till förmån för den andra statens beskattningsrätt. Avtalens begränsande effekt i kombination med skillnader i staters interna skattesyThe main reason for states to enter into tax treaties is to prevent international juridical double taxation, which is considered to have harmful effects on cross-border economic relations. In tax treaties, states oblige themselves through international law not to raise taxes with respect to taxing rights given to the other state under the treaty. A well-known problem is that taxpayers can exploit
