Problem statement. Despite their success-story, neural networks have one major disadvantage compared to other techniques: the inability to explain comprehensively how a trained neural network reaches its output; neural networks are not only (incorrectly) seen as a “magic tool” but possibly even more as a mysterious “black box” [1]. This is an important aspect of the functionality of any technology

In Sweden, municipalities organize a large share of public services but the conditions for providing these services differ considerably due to differences in size and wealth. In the wake of financial stress and New Public Management reforms the Swedish local governments seeks new ways to make both ends meet and still manage the services to be in line with the present (not the past) demands of the
This thesis reports a study involving the use of Halomonas boliviensis, a moderate halophile, for production of biopolyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and compatible solutes ectoine and hydroxyectoine through high cell-density cultivation comprising fed-batch cultures. PHB is a biodegradable plastic produced by bacteria as energy reserve and can potentially be used as a replacement of fossil b
Popular Abstract in Swedish Senare forskning har påvisat att beslutsfattare som återger attraktivitets skattningar (aspekter) av egenskaper (attribut) av det valda och det icke valda alternativet i ett beslut som de tidigare fattat, ökar attraktivitets differensen mellan alternativen. Denna efterbesluts attraktivitets differentiering (konsolidering) verkar till fördel för det valda alternativet. KRecent research has shown that when decision makers in retrospect are asked to reproduce attractiveness evaluations (of aspects) of important characteristics (attributes) of a chosen and a non-chosen choice alternative, they exaggerate the attractiveness difference between the alternatives. This post-decision attractiveness differentiation (consolidation) works in favor of the chosen alternative.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling syftar till att ge en översikt över cirka hundra år av europeisk intellektuell historia som lyfter fram nya aspekter av de klassiska tänkarna. Analysen av de fyra filosoferna Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume och Charles de Montesquieu syftar till att belysa en generell historisk process, nämligen hur den moderna människosynen växer fram i Europa. EThis essay has three main aims. The first one is to give an overview of some hundred years of European intellectual history, bringing out new aspects of the classical thinkers. The analysis of the four philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume and Charles de Montesquieu aims at illustrating a general historical process, viz. the emergence of the modern view of man in Europe. After Hobbes,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många av alla kemiska processer som pågår i våra kroppar utförs av proteiner. När de inte fungerar blir vi sjuka. I vissa fall, till exempel vid Alzheimers sjukdom eller Creutzfeld Jacobs sjukdom, beror det på att ett visst protein har fel form. Att förstå hur proteiner antar sin slutliga form och vad det har för inverkan på proteinets funktion är således viktigt. ÅVery little is known about a considerable part of all proteins and it is time consuming and expensive to study each individual protein to determine its function, structure and cellular role. Proteins retain structural, functional and sequential characteristics from ancestral proteins and hence two proteins that share a common ancestor, i.e. are homologs, will to some extent have similar sequen
Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanväxningar/ärrbildningar i buken och bröstkorgen efter kirurgiska ingrepp är mycket vanligt. Bland de patienter som opereras kommer cirka 95 % att få någon form av sammanväxningar. Nästan 1 procent av alla inläggningar på kirurgiska avdelningar och tre procent av alla bukoperationer anses i grunden vara orsakade av sammanväxningar i buken.

The transition towards low-carbon energy systems undeniably requires a strong scale-up in the diffusion of renewable energy technologies globally. Given its theoretical and techno-economic potential, solar photovoltaics (PV) is considered an important option. The envisioned scale-up of the use of solar PV, however, requires an in-depth and system-oriented perspective on structures and processes re
The shaping of a city and its future relates to official decisions made in city planning meetings, where daily planning matters and decision-making processes adapt to changing societal circumstances. The interest of this research lies in how planning is officially established, managed and practiced in the setting of a Jordanian city, and its local districts. This interest leads the research to obs
Thisthesis revisits and explores the relationship between verse and meaning bymeans of the notion of iconicity, i.e.,as signs primarily based on similarity. The aim of the thesis is to show howverse and its interaction with words and sentences create meaning and can be anintegrated part in the interpretation or understanding of the poem as a whole.Verse is discussed in relation to four other liter
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ökad förståelse för hjärtats pumpfunktion är av stort intresse för att kunna förbättra diagnostik, behandling och prognoser för hjärtsjuka patienter. Blodflöde i hjärtat är direkt kopplat till hjärtats form och rörelse och kan därför vara en viktig markör för hjärtats funktion. Därför var målet med denna avhandling att utveckla och förbättra mätningar av blodflöde med hIncreased understanding of the pumping mechanics of the heart are of great importance to develop diagnostics, treatment and prognostics for cardiovascular diseases. Blood flow in the heart is connected to its anatomy and function, and may therefore be a sensitive marker of cardiac health and disease. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop and validate methods for quantification and visual
The 1998 State Street Bank &&semic Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group, Inc. case took American patent law into a new era. A method of doing business is no longer a valid ground for rejection of patent applications, and the words that ''[v]irtually anything is patentable'' echoe in the legal and business societies. By rendering a data processing system configured for
Denna uppsats baserar sig på en utredning av Försäkringskassan, som presenterades i maj 2005. Titeln var Utredning om könsneutralt och delat barnbidrag. Försäkringskassan hade fått i uppdrag av regeringen att utreda förutsättningarna för att göra lagstiftningen kring barnbidraget könsneutral och införa en möjlighet för föräldrarna att kunna dela bidraget mellan sig.

Landskrona has for a long time had problems with high concentrations of Pb and other heavy metals in the air. Measurements investigating the content of airborne particles have been performed in 1977, 1988, 2003 and 2008 and show an influence from heavy industries, traffic in town and transboundary pollution. To investigate the air quality in terms of heavy metals in Landskrona today, the metal con
GABAergic Neurotrasmission – A “cross-talker” between inflammation and neural plasticity in stroke Stroke is a leading cause of disability and no pharmacological treatment is currently available to promote recovery in suffering patients.

Anammox-processen erbjuder en hållbar och energieffektiv metod för biologisk kväve-avskiljning inom avloppsrening. Men bakterierna som utför arbetet kväver en källa till nitrit, och en möjlig lösning på detta är att kombinera metoden med partiell denitrifikation. Kan ett samarbete mellan dessa olika grupper av mikroorganismer upprättas, och vilken påverkan har typen av kolkälla som används i proceIn traditional wastewater treatment, nitrogen is removed through the biological process combination of nitrification and denitrification. Although it is a well-established method, the need for aeration and possible addition of an external carbon source results in it being an energy-negative and costly process, thus making alternative methods for nitrogen removal compelling to examine. Anaerobic am
Spurred on by pressure to find sustainable energy production alternatives to fossil fuels, many industries have been acquiring land in order to plant crops for biofuel production. In Tanzania, biofuel development is in an early stage, and over the last decade, several foreign actors have tried to start up biofuel projects in the country (without success). Land acquisitions are seen by many as a fo
