Purpose: The postponement principle concerns defining when and where value is added, usually referring to hardware components for physical products. However, in modern supply chains, software’s importance is increasing, impacting the timing and location of value-adding operations. Lacking insights into software-driven implications for postponement, we aim at elaborating on the postponement princip
BackgroundThe relationship between sleeping habits and aortic stiffness remains inconclusive and is not fully explored in the European general population.MethodsWe examined cross-sectionally 8659 participants from the Swedish population-based cohort Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), mean age 57.5 years, 52.1% women. A self-administered questionnaire on sleeping habits (duration, qua
Introduction Despite the improvements in diabetes management by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) it is difficult to capture the complexity of CGM data in one metric. We aimed to develop a clinically relevant multidimensional scoring model with the capacity to identify the most alarming CGM episodes and/or patients from a large cohort. Research design and methods Retrospective CGM data from 2017
Background: Myocardial fibrosis, expressed as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), is an important risk factor for malignant cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, CMR is not easily available, expensive, also needing intravenous access and contrast. Objective: To determine if derived vectorcardiographic spatial QRS-T angles, an aspec
In order to reduce lead time and cost in the product development of vehicles more development will be made virtually. However, the predictability capability of simulation models is questioned and the simulation models need to be correlated versus hardware measurements and modeling techniques improved. As part of the process of vehicle system model capability improvements the main objective of thi
Ocean acidification is a consequence of the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. When CO2 is dissolved in water it affects the composition of ions and lowers the pH of the water. As the partial CO2 pressure in the atmosphere increases a new balance is reached with the surface waters which causes the pH of the surface oceans to decrease. For small shallow seas this effec
Mobile communications have evolved with the commercial deployment of 5G and initial studies of 6G. New solutions and innovative technologies are being incorporated to reach the target requirements. One of the key technologies in mobile networks is massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO). Increasing the number of antennas offers significant benefits in coverage, reliability, and spectral effi
I svenska domstolar utvecklades under en period av över 30 år en påföljds-praxis i narkotikamål som i hög grad avvek från vad som gäller för andra brottstyper. Straffvärdebedömningen inom området styrdes i princip helt och hållet av tabeller grundade på arten och mängden narkotika. En omfattande praxisomläggning ägde rum åren 2011 till 2013. Omläggningen medförde att samtliga relevanta omständighe
In recent years, technological developments have been the focal point of the discussion in the shipping industry. The two main topics have been a general discussion on IT security and a discussion about autonomous ships. Concerning IT security, the discussion has been focused on the industry's knowledge in the field and preparedness for any attacks or mishaps that can affect companies that ar
Den svenska företagsbeskattningen baseras på att varje enskilt företag är ett självständigt skattskyldigt subjekt. Däremot finns vissa möjligheter att beakta flera företags resultat av näringsverksamhet när dessa ingår i en koncern. Ett alternativ som har ställts upp är de skatterättsliga koncernbidragen. Då koncernbidragsreglerna aktualiseras och en värdeöverföring har skett mellan två företag inSwedish corporate taxation is based on the fact that each individual company is an independently taxable subject. On the other hand, in some circumstances it is possible to take into account several companies' income of economic activities, when these are part of a corporate group. One option available is the group contribution. If the rules concerning group contributions are applicable and a
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda umgängessabotage i relation till barnets bästa. Ämnet är aktuellt då antalet vårdnadstvister ökar. Dessutom finns det behov av att utreda frågan då barn i större utsträckning ses som individer med egna rättigheter och intressen. En sådan utveckling kan ses utifrån ändringen i FB år 2006 samt inkorporeringen av barnkonventionen. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § FB ska baThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate visitation interference in relation to the child’s best interests. The topic is relevant as the number of custody disputes in Sweden has increased. In addition, there is a need to investigate the question because children are more widely regarded as individuals with their own rights and interests. Such development can be seen from the change in FB in 20
We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is a cosmopolitan species with a broad distribution that ranges from the tropics to the poles. Males are known to migrate between nutrient-rich high latitude waters and low latitude breeding grounds. In the North Atlantic, large males are found up to the southern limits of the ice edge. However, their seasonal distribution patterns remain poorly known in th

Digital watermarking is done by adding a piece of data to a signal, which depending on the target media type, may be a picture, audio or video signal. The purpose of this additional signal is to provide a consistent signature linked to the original source which then remains through the act of copying. This allows the author to obstruct the act of theft by adding this signal to his or her creation.
In August 2007 we went to New Zealand for a placement at Child Youth and Family Services. There our interest in Family Group Conferences (FGC) took off. FGC is not near as common in Sweden as in New Zealand. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine how the Social Services in Helsingborg and Höör in Sweden and Belfast in Northern Ireland work with FGC. We had the privilege to go to Belfas

I takt med att hållbarhet blir viktigare söker många företag inom jordbrukssektorn lösningar för att fasa ut fossila drivmedel. Utmaningen blir ännu mer komplex när ersättningen ska vara kompatibel med en existerande fordonsflotta, utan investering i nya fordon. Denna studie jämförde fyra kommersiellt tillgängliga och förnybara drivmedel med referensbränslet diesel. De undersökta drivmedlen är HVAs sustainability becomes more important in today's society, many companies in the agricultural sector are looking for new alternatives to fossil fuels. The challenge becomes even more complex when the replacement must be compatible with an existing vehicle fleet, without requiring new investments in vehicles. This report compares four commercially available and renewable fuels, using convent
This thesis explores a range of control algorithms for multimodal acoustophoresis, the process of manipulating particles in a fluid by simultaneously using several acoustic modes. The aim of the algorithms is to precisely guide particle trajectories in acoustofluidic systems, motivated by the demand for non-invasive, scalable manipulation techniques in biomedical applications such as single-cell a
This master’s thesis is a qualitative content analysis of nine municipal library plans (and two county library plans) with a basis in new institutionalism, specifically in regards to legitimacy, homogeneity as well as themes and patterns in the sourcematerial. With a basis in the history of the library plan and the municipal gouvernance, debate in regards to cultural policy, the downsizing of libr
