In the construction industry, projects are organized with many different subcontractors that carry out the day-to-day undertakings. There is generally a lack of skilled labour in the construction industry that makes construction lack productivity and become a dangerous workplace. Skilled subcontractors are a neglected group of potential innovators in this industry. The main reason why they are ver

In the present review paper by members of the collaborative research center "Register: Language Users' Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation" (CRC 1412), we assess the pervasiveness of register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define "register" as recurring variation in language use depending on the function of language and on the social situ

How the avian sex chromosomes first evolved from autosomes remains elusive as 100 million years (My) of divergence and degeneration obscure their evolutionary history. The Sylvioidea group of songbirds is interesting for understanding avian sex chromosome evolution because a chromosome fusion event ∼24 Ma formed "neo-sex chromosomes" consisting of an added (new) and an ancestral (old) part. Here,

For the realization of graphene-based electronic and optic devices, the functionalization of this material becomes essential. Graphene doping through intercalation and tuning the chemical potential is one among other promising concepts. Intercalation of germanium is particularly interesting in view of its ambipolar doping behavior. Both p- and n-type doped graphene and their doping levels were ide

In the last decades, the substantial technical progress in radiation oncology offered the opportunity for more accurate planning and delivery of treatment. At the same time, the evolution of systemic treatment and the advent of modern diagnostic tools allowed for more accurate staging and consequently a safe reduction of radiotherapy (RT) target volumes and RT doses in the treatment of lymphomas.

The formation of molecular assemblies in protein solutions is of strong interest both from a fundamental viewpoint and for biomedical applications. While ordered and desired protein assemblies are indispensable for some biological functions, undesired protein condensation can induce serious diseases. As a common cofactor, the presence of salt ions is essential for some biological processes involvi

The semiconductor technology has enabled the fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs), which may include billions of transistors and can contain all necessary electronic circuitry for a complete system, so-called System-on-Chip (SOC). In order to handle design complexity and to meet short time-to-market requirements, it is increasingly common to make use of a modular design approach where an SOC i

Two-particle long-range azimuthal correlations are measured in photonuclear collisions using 1.7nb-1 of 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Candidate events are selected using a dedicated high-multiplicity photonuclear event trigger, a combination of information from the zero-degree calorimeters and forward calorimeters, and from pseud

Våld i nära relationer, och då främst mäns våld mot kvinnor, utgör ett erkänt samhällsproblem. En särskilt utsatt grupp är våldsutsatta kvinnor med osäker uppehållsrätt som kommit till Sverige på anknytning till en svensk man. Kvinnorna får tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd och om anknytningen bryts föreligger inte längre förutsättningar för uppehållstillståndet, och kvinnan utvisas. Om kvinnan kaDomestic violence, and primarily men's violence against women, is a well-recognized social problem. A particularly vulnerable group is abused women with uncertain right of residence. Their migration status depends on that of their spouse, and they receive only a temporary residence permit. If the relationship is broken, the conditions for the residence permit are no longer present and the woma

Framtidens metod för pulsmätning utan direktkontakt Med hjälp av en ny metod att mäta puls, kan pulsen detekteras enklare och bättre på flera sätt. Metoden som presenteras i detta arbete använder en kamera för att i realtid kunna mäta patientens puls på avstånd. Detta leder till att patienten kan röra sig mer fritt under mätningarna. Det underlättar även för långtidsövervakning samt ger ett mer kMeasurements of heart rate without contact can be of much importance when the possibilities of skin contact for different reasons are limited, or for monitoring at distance over time. This is an emerging area in our time, and the idea to construct a working system to demonstrate the technique was therefore born. The work has been performed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at LTH. The m

Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

Abstract Through today’s Cloud platforms, one can easily gain access to several services that eases collaboration and data storage. This thesis focuses on developing and deploying a web application, with the help of a cloud platform, which is able to search through data with the purpose of redirecting a telephone call. The thesis is done in collaboration with Telavox, who wants to broaden the prod

Postindustrial Malmö relies heavily on stories and images as engines for economic growth. Cities use place marketing strategies to attract capital, investments and affluent residents. The evident focus on economic growth has led to a significantly polarized city in which people with low-incomes, usually ethnic minorities, live in segregated areas such as Rosengård. Segregated and poor areas become

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

Problembeskrivning: Lager och lagerhållningsprocesser ses ofta som några av de viktigaste delarna i ett företags värdekedja, så dessa delar kan stå för över 20 procent av företagets totala logistikkostnader. Storleken på dessa kostnader, och även många andra kostnader relaterade till lagerföring, är huvudsakligen en konsekvens av de beslut som togs när lagren designades. Lagerdesign bör därför sesProblem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse

Denna rapport beskriver en produktutvecklingsprocess med målet att förbättra det nuvarande utbudet av infällda fästen för övervakningskameror i inomhustak. Ett infällt fäste är ett tillbehör som används när kameror, eller andra produkter, skall monteras i innertak när ett så diskret resultat som möjligt är målet. Målet var att designa en lösning som kan monteras snabbt, enkelt och med bara en handThis master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to extend the existing range of mounts for surveillance cameras mounted recessed in ceilings. A recessed mount is an accessory for mounting cameras, or other devices, in ceilings when a discreet finish is wanted. The goal was to design a solution that can be mounted fast, easy and with the use of one hand only. The comp

Kvinnor som förövare har historiskt sett varit ett relativt outforskat ämne. Den kriminologiska forskningen har utgått från studier på män samt utveck-lat teorier baserade på män. Kriminellt beteende har setts som avvikande från normativa föreställningar kring det kvinnliga könet och femininiteter. Ett specifikt kriminellt beteende som kan sägas än mer avvika från norma-tiva femininiteter är då kvWomen as perpetrators have historically been overlooked as a subject. The criminological research and its theories are based on men. Criminal behav-ior has been considered as deviant in relation to normative views of the fe-male sex and femininities. A specific criminal behavior that could be con-sidered even more deviant is the one where women sexually abuse children. These women fit neither the

Histopathology is the procedure used in medicine to optically examine microscope-images of tissue samples (biopsies) in order to study the manifestation of disease. It is used, for example, to diagnose the spread and type of cancer tumors, which have implications on the chosen treatment. Currently this type of analysis is done manually by trained professionals. It is time consuming and the diagnos

The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica
