Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have attracted considerable interest in recent years as a convenient, new technology. However, the suitability of WMN for mission-critical infrastructure applications remains by and large unknown, as protocols typically employed in WMN are, for the most part, not designed for real-time communications. In this chapter, the authors describe a wireless mesh network archit
Aim: To estimate the incidence of dystocia, to describe outcomes of labour with dystocia and augmentation, to identify anthropometrical-, life style-, obstetric- and clinical risk indicators for dystocia, to elucidate nulliparous women’s experiences of prolonged labours and to describe some aspects of the midwifery care during labour and delivery. Design: A multi-centre cohort study with prospecti
Mental disorders are associated with premature mortality, and the magnitudes of risk have commonly been estimated using hospital data. However, psychiatric patients who are hospitalized have more severe illness and do not adequately represent mental disorders in the general population. We conducted a national cohort study using outpatient and inpatient diagnoses for the entire Swedish adult popula
Energy is typically a limiting factor for animals during boreal zone winters, when low temperatures increase the cost of thermoregulation at the same times as short day-lengths and snow cover constrain foraging opportunities. Under these circumstances animals use a suite of behavioural and physiological adaptations to avoid overnight starvation. However, it is poorly understood how such strategies
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att söka kunskap om vilka faktorer som bidrar till uppfostringsanstaltens framgång som social institution och dess ständiga misslyckande som behandlingsorganisation. Jag försöker förstå varför organisationer som §12-hem och särskilda ungdomshem finns och vilken betydelse de har i vårt samhälle. Svaret på den frågan söker jag på tre sätt: genom attThe aim of the present study is to find the factors and conditions that generate the success of the reformatory as a social institution and, at the same time, its well-known failure as a treatment organization. I try to understand why organizations like the reformatory exist and what meaning they have in our society. I seek answers by exploring the birth of the reformatory in a historical perspect
This volume positions itself on the cutting edge of two fields in psychology that enjoy rapidly increasing attention: both the study of human lives and some core domains of such lives as religion and spirituality are high on the agenda of current research and teaching. Biographies and autobiographies are being approached in new ways and have become central to the study of human lives as an object
Secondary aerosols formed from anthropogenic pollutants and natural emissions have substantial impacts on human health, air quality, and the Earth's climate. New particle formation (NPF) contributes up to 70% of the global production of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), but the effects of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and their oxidation products on NPF processes in forests are poorly
In Białowieża primeval forest (BPF) wolves Canis lupus supress red deer Cervus elaphus foraging via behaviourally-mediated, non-consumptive effects. Humans provide an additional risk factor differentially exhibited between areas devoid of human intervention and areas with high human hunting and foresting activity. The aim of the study was to test the behavioural responses of red deer to risk effec
As design students who are about to graduate, we asked ourselves what it means to enter the professional life as a designer. We wanted to investigate how a young designer is able to make a living within the design profession. Additionally, we explored how we can include Northern European industrial manufacturing into our research and design process to learn more about mass production and its poten
This thesis investigates the under-researched relationship between open innovation (OI) and organisational learning (OL). It addresses questions on how design agencies (DAs) (as a form of inbound OI) influence their client company’s OL process. It also considers the main barriers companies face at each stage of the OL process and how these barriers impact OL. To start, the literature on OI, DAs
This project aims to open a dialogue on the role of the border in todays society. Computational design and emerging 3d fabrication technology will be implemented as a tool to create a border typology modeled after the abundant, productive hedgerows found in nature. Experimentation will delve into the possibilities of digital design and how to manipulate and control algorithmic processes to grow a
The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary
Med minskade resurser av fossila bränslen och ökade miljökrav har förnybara ersättningar fått större uppmärksamhet. Produktionen av förnybara kemikalier och bränslen genom förgasning av biomassa är en lovande lösning för att driva denna energiomställning. Syntesgas (syngas), en blandning av främst CO och H2, kan framställas av biomassa via förgasning. Biologisk me-tanisering, som ett potentiellt aWith reduced resources of fossil fuels and increased environmental requirements, renewable substitutes have received greater attention. The production of renewable chemicals and fuels through biomass gasification presents a promising route to drive this energy transition. Synthe-sis gas (syngas), a mixture of mainly CO and H2, can be produced from biomass via gasifica-tion. Biological methanation,

The thesis investigates how a norm-critical perspective on learning can impact the architectural design, and the aim is not to challenge the school as a form but to mediate a more supportive learning environment. The norm-critical, feminist and public pedagogy highlights the necessity of change towards collective learning with the individual in mind that includes introvert and extrovert personalit
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of coworking space as it relates to meeting the common goals of collaboration, community, and creativity for its members. Through a case study of a coworking space, the study seeks answers to questions as: “How can coworking spaces enhance community, collaboration, and creativity to create a better experience for their members?” and “Are
Denna uppsats är en kulturanalys av ett arkiv. Uppsatsen bidrar till utökad förståelse för det nukleära kulturarvet. Det empiriska materialet är dokument från den anti-nukleära rörelsen i Franska Polynesien och dess försök att stoppa Franska atombombsprovsprängningar där. Mitt arbete med att registrera materialet utgör ett led i analysen. Dokumenten är insamlade av ett aktivistpar: akademikern ochThis thesis is a cultural analysis of an archive that contributes to the understanding of nuclear culture and heritage. The empirical material are documents from the anti-nuclear movement in French Polynesia and the archiving process of these documents. The documents are collected by an activist couple: Swedish scholar and adventurer Bengt Danielsson and his wife Marie-Thérèse Danielsson. The prob
