As a result of the project “A National Strategy for Standardisation of DigitalInformation Management within the Built Environment”, this report describes the framework of the strategy. The responsibility of the framework, maintenance and the update will be handled by the newly created Samhällsbyggandets Regelforum.Samhällsbyggandets Regelforum aims to contribute to the development of new and exist
Millimeter-wave cellular communication requires beamforming procedures that enable alignment of the transmitter and receiver beams as the user equipment (UE) moves. For efficient beam tracking it is advantageous to classify users according to their traffic and mobility patterns. Research to date has demonstrated efficient ways of machine learning based UE classification. Although different machine
This article aims at questioning the uses of feminist epistemologies and methodologies in the context of a fieldwork project conducted in Colombia on the return to civilian life of female combatants. While the topic « female combatants »tends to be the object of an academic over-investment, contributing to its depoliticization, the Authors discuss the various approaches, tools and methods produced
As part of the IEA-SHC Task 41 'Solar Energy and Architecture' an international survey was carried out. This paper presents its results for Subtask B which especially focuses on methods and tools for solar design applied by architects. Building professionals, mainly architects, were contacted via email and asked to participate in a web-based questionnaire about their use of methods and tools for s
Although being promoted as the most eco-friendly form of transportation, the shipping sector currently accounts for around 3 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, however, with increasing global trade emissions are expected to increase. Even if energy efficiency gains have been accomplished, the majority of the global fleet continue to run on fossil fuels and the total emissions from ships a
A numerical and experimental study of partial admission in a low reaction two-stage axial air test turbine is performed in this paper. In order to model one part load configuration, corresponding to zero flow in one of the admission arcs, the inlet was blocked at one segmental arc, at the leading edge of the first stage guide vanes. Due to the unsymmetrical geometry, the full annulus of the turbin
Multi-faceted objects and multi-sensory environments are constantly changing and shifting the way we use our senses, the way we perceive material and immaterial aspects of our environment and structure our experiences. How things co-exist, how they might be connected or be in a state of collision, defines the way we experience and interact with them. Through my work, I explore ways of sensing and
Episodic memories are leveraged to predict upcoming input. Latent Cause Theory (Gershman et al., 2017) predicts that after moderate prediction errors, existing memories will be updated by integrating new information, while after large prediction errors, a new latent cause is inferred, and the unpredicted event is encoded as a separate trace. To date, no study has directly compared memory updating
This thesis aims to explore the relevance of identities for the support of democracy in Ukraine. It elaborates on the assumption that the identity's construction affects which ideas are embraced and sets out to test whether a civic as opposed to ethnic identity construction would correlate with the embracing and pursuit of the idea of democracy. Material gathered during a Minor Field Study - i
This article serves as an introduction to the special issue on Islam in the Republic of Ireland. The introduction gives a brief overview of previous studies on Islam and Muslims in Ireland and shows their links with the studies published in this issue. Second, it presents in a concise manner the historical development of Islam in Ireland with respect to the increasing numbers of Muslims. As Irelan
Det finns ett växande intresse för den roll som lokala aktörer spelar i utformningen av regionala utvecklingsbanor i mindre, perifera regioner. Men, när de strukturella förutsättningarna är begränsade eller ogynnsamma begränsas dock möjligheterna för lokala aktörer. I denna artikel kombinerar vi begreppen agens och möjlighetsutrymme med en processmodell för adaptiva cykler för att identifiera när,
Following the recent resurgence of capitalism as a key subject in historical analysis, historians have highlighted the globally interconnected making and remaking of capitalism. Commodity-centred histories in global history have shown how to write locally grounded histories of global capitalism emphasising the complex and contingent relationship between the local and the global. In these accounts,
The impact of cyberbullying on mental health is a significant concern among adolescents, yet there is limited research on the neurophysiological markers of cyberbullying. This study aims to address this by exploring whether resting state electroencephalography (EEG) power, among traditional frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta), predicts cyberbullying experiences over time. Participants (N =
When developing tools for automated cortical segmentation, the ability to produce topologically correct segmentations is important in order to compute geometrically valid morphometry measures. In practice, accurate cortical segmentation is challenged by image artifacts and the highly convoluted anatomy of the cortex itself. To address this, we propose a novel deep learning-based cortical segmentat
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the history of Satanism. As an open identity, Satanism only became possible in a time when Christianity’s hold on legal systems and social norms weakened. In that sense, Satanism is a direct product of secularization. As a religious practice or coherent system of thought, Satanism did not exist any earlier than around the year 1900, when pioneers l
The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo
RNA interference (RNAi) plays a major role in regulation of gene expression in most eukaryotic organisms. On a basic level it is a protein complex named RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) that binds a RNA strand, a micro RNA (miRNA) or a small interfering RNA (siRNA), which guides it to its intended target, an mRNA. The RISC then disrupts translation of the bound mRNA, either by restricting it t
