The Swedish police force is controlled out of management by objectives. Management by objectives is setting goals on national, regional and local levels of the police force in an attempt to developing the company. What knowledge possesses the Swedish police force in how to set goals for a goal oriented business? The paper examines the goal settings for the police force at national and regional lev
Breast cancer is the most common cancer form among women in the Western world. Although treatment has improved during the last decades, there is still a significant proportion of the patients who are not cured. To further improve clinical outcome we need new treatment strategies, new prognostic markers, and new treatment predictive factors for personalized medicine.In this dissertation I have focu
Ever since Lipsky wrote about street-level bureaucrats in 1980 the main belief has been that certain characteristics of their jobs make it exceptionally difficult to severely reduce their discretion. However, discretion comes at a price and if public servants abuse their power the legitimacy of government is at risk and ultimately even the democracy. This thesis address this question by analysing
The aim of this study is to investigate how technocratic water management is affecting the possibilities of the public to participate in decision-making and care for their local waters. This was investigated during the consultation process regarding the draft River Basin Management Plan and Program of Measures for the years 2021-2027 in the Bothnian Sea Water District in Sweden. The analytical fra
This thesis investigates the perceptions of people within the education sector in Lund Municipality regarding sustainability implications of the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in schools. It demonstrates how local perceptions are largely affected by powerful global neoliberal forces. The study is based on a critical discourse analysis of policy documents and interviews with

This project ran 2013-2018 and was funded by the Swedish Research Council. China is today one of the most networked societies in the world with the largest number of Internet users and the biggest mobile phone market. By the end of 2013, 618 million Chinese people, i.e. 45.8 per cent of the population, now have access to the Internet. China has also embarked on an extensive strategy of informatiza

Dear colleagues,Two weeks ago, when it briefly felt like spring was coming, I went for a walk in the Science Village area between MAXIV and ESS. On the walk were the management teams of both LTH and the Faculty of Science, as well as Ola Wendt, head of the Department of Chemistry. There were many conversations about the size of the buildings, about people and things moving between different activi
Nobel Prize and research infrastructuresIt is one year since Anne L'Hillier was awarded the Nobel Prize and we continue to celebrate. What impact does Anne's Nobel Prize have on us? This has come up many times over the past year. And another question has also been there: how do we get more Nobel Prizes? But the latter is not the right question. The Nobel Prize is a consequence of a healthy and in
The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) is tasked with evaluating the quality of higher education and research. The government assigns UKÄ's remit. The national quality assurance system is based on the higher education institutions taking considerable individual responsibility for their own internal quality assurance. The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) carries out four types of revi

Kan flexibilitet i hushålls energisystem underlätta energiomställningen genom att dra nytta av volatila elpriser? Analysen av vår fallstudie visar att flexibla teknologier och framför allt värmeproduktion från el kan minska fossila utsläpp och driftkostnader, men ökar elanvändningen från nätet. Priserna på el har diskuterats frekvent de senaste åren och kraftiga prissvängningar har negativt påveThe increasing share of weather-dependent renewable energy in the European electricity system, as a consequence of the European Union’s climate ambitions, has led to increased spot price volatility, negatively affecting consumers due to unpredictability. This case study assesses how flexibility (including power-heat cross vector flexibility) in residential buildings can affect annual costs, emissi

The heat transfer characteristics of an impinging jet into a crossflow have been investigated by the liquid crystal thermography technique. The jet nozzle is circular and is inclined at 10 deg with respect to the target wall. In a turbulent flow regime, the effects of the jet Reynolds number, the velocity ratio, and the crossflow Reynolds number on the heat transfer are examined. The results show
In this letter, we consider Gaussian approximations of the optimal importance density in sequential importance sampling for nonlinear, non-Gaussian state-space models. The proposed method is based on generalized statistical linear regression and posterior linearization using conditional expectations. Simulation results show that the method outperforms the compared methods in terms of the effective
Combustion of fuel in diesel engines emits substances harmful to the environment such as soot. These emissions can be reduced by either in-cylinder treatments or after-treatments. One of the common in-cylinder treatments is multiple-injection, which divides a single fuel injection to multiple smaller injections. There are many open questions on the physical processes of the ignition, combustion an
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and potentially severe disease. Early identification of severity grade is crucial for the outcome of the patient. For study approaches and comparison of inter-institutional data the AP patients need to be uniformly classified.The aims of this thesis were to investigate the early stratifiation capacity of biomarkers in AP and to assess the morphologic
For a cathode duct of a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell, a three-dimensional analysis method is further developed to include two-phase, multicomponent gas and heat transport processes. A set of momentum, heat transport, and gas species equations is solved for the whole duct by coupled source terms and variable thermophysical properties. The effects of the electrochemical reactions on the heat g
