We study a scenario where a monitor is interested in the freshest possible update from a remote sensor. The monitor also seeks to minimize the number of updates that exceed a certain freshness threshold, beyond which, the information is deemed to be too old. Previous work has presented results for First Come First Served (FCFS) systems. However, it has been shown that Last Come First Served (LCFS)
The research work that I describe in my thesis deals with three different heterogenisation approaches for synthesising a heterogeneous transition metal catalyst used for direct C-H activation reactions. The three heterogenisation approaches considered in my research are: (1) heterogenisation of a molecular catalyst on a polymer support using covalent bonds, (2) heterogenisation of a catalyst on a
In radiological diagnostics and therapy, it is important that practitioners, referrers, (i.e. radiologists, radiation oncologists and others in health-care) are aware of how much radiation a patient may receive from the various procedures used and associated health risk. The profession has a duty to inform patients or their representatives of the advantages and disadvantages of specific investigatIn radiological diagnostics and therapy, it is important that practitioners, referrers, (i.e. radiologists, radiation oncologists and others in healthcare) are aware of how much radiation a patient may receive from the various procedures used and associated health risk.

In this article, I consider the use of seemingly old nominative forms (ONF) in object position. The phenomenon is noted for the dialects of Västerbotten (in Northern Sweden) by several authors. Earlier works imply that the phenomenon is rather recent (early 1900s) and that the phenomenon is in more common usage in the inland rural areas than by the more urban coast. I discuss the structural analys
Collective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome. The inefficacy argument says that since one such act does not make a difference to the outcome, you have no outcome-related reason to refrain from acting in this way. If this argument holds, you have no cCollective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome.

Enhancing children’s participation in child protection is a frequent issue in social work. The aim of this article is to investigate the perceived knowledge and educational demands of actors in Sweden’s child protection system, regarding children’s right to participation and actors’ perceived ability to communicate with children. This article will try to answer two specific research questions: HoEnhancing children’s participation in child protection is a frequent issue in social work.

Introduction: Over the past two decades, there has been a shift from concealing diagnoses of sex development from impacted people to the broad principle of age-appropriate disclosure. This change is consistent with children’s rights and with general shifts towards giving children medical information and involving patients in medical decision-making. The present paper examines how health profession
This paper presents a novel enterprise architecture concept for mapping businesscapabilities called the Milky Way. It aims to create an anchoring image that can be used to communicate with various stakeholders. We look at examples from research data management and student administration. All the presented projects, from different universities, were highly successful in achieving stakeholder buy-in
Along with the ever-expanding interest in brands, the brand orientation concept has since its inception in the early 1990s steadily received more and more attention from scholars and practitioners alike. Brand orientation ultimately captures how organisations can develop sustainable competitive advantages in the form of brands. However, the conditions for brand management have dramatically changed
Moving into a nursing home is a significant transition for older people which can be emotional and stressful. The literature on the decision to move and subsequent residential stress focuses on the time after admission; however, there is less understanding of older people’s management of the process. To fully understand and possibly reduce negative consequences and health-related risks, the aim of
Focussing on the public school in early modern Sweden, this articleinvestigates the role of the Aesopic fable in elementary education in Greek. Asa background, the solid position of fable as genre in the teaching of Latin inmedieval Europe is sketched. When humanism launched Greek as schoolsubject, fable was adopted as reading material in the teaching of the newlanguage, partly for the same reason
Almost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family. This increases the probability of having (or to be a) bonus/step-grandchild and raises the question: How does the caregiving dynamic between bonus-grandparents and bonus-grandchildren intersect with gender and life situation, unraveling the intricate threads that weave through familAlmost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family.

The thesis sets out to investigate the research question “Does subject certification affect student achievement in mathematics?” By using data from an international large-scale assessment of student skills, Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), the thesis uses student achievement scores in mathematics as the dependent variable in a series of multiple linear regression mode
The environmental and social impacts from the textile value chain have resulted in increased interest and involvement from various stakeholders, one of which being local government. As a means to address the negative impacts of the textile industry, circular economy theory has been adopted by many stakeholders, often using the term ‘circular fashion.’ A critical component of circular fashion is a
Min frågeställning är vilken roll Folkhögskolans hade förr och har nu ? Jag har försökt att beskriva dess utveckling, förändring, problem och möjligheter. Jag går tillbaka till år 1844 då den första folkhögskolan startades i Röddinge i Danmark av prästen och folkbildaren Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig. Jag vill försöka ge en bild av folkhögskolans pedagogik, lärare och elever. Jag vill nu ocks
