Popular Abstract in Swedish Arktis utgör en viktig del i Jordens miljö och vad som händer där har stor påverkan på det globala klimatet, samtidigt som området är mycket känsligt för förändringar. Under kvartärtiden har stora isar flera gånger täckt Skandinavien, Ryssland, Sibirien och Nordamerika och täcker än idag stora delar av Grönland. Isarna har lämnat spår (landformer och sediment) efter sigThe North Taymyr ice-marginal zone (NTZ) on the Taymyr Peninsula, Arctic Siberia and the Ugleelv Valley on Jameson Land, East Greenland, have been investigated with the aim of reconstructing the glacial history, including depositional processes and environments. Geomorphological, sedimentological, stratigraphical and remote sensing methods have been combined to give a comprehensive view of develop

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The treatment of acquired aplastic anemia (AA) is based on allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and immunosuppressive therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of children and adults with AA treated in the last decade, and to determine whether results have improved in two sequential time periods,1991-1996 and 1997-2002. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two-thou

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling kan delas in i två delar. Den första delen behandlar en analys av en vanlig parameter estimations algoritm - Rekursiv Minska Kvadrat (RMK) algoritmen. Denna algoritm används ofta inom tekniska tillämpningar när man vill estimera modeller i realtid. T.ex. kan RMK användas för att finna modeller på hur framtida elförbrukning i Malmö (eller någon annan staThis thesis is about parameter estimation and control of time-varying stochastic systems. It can be divided into two parts. The first part deals with an estimation algorithm commonly used when estimating parameters in time-varying stochastic systems, the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm with forgetting factor. The exact statistical properties for the RLS-estimator with forgetting factor ar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Priset på en produkt sägs vara icke-lineärt om styckpriset på produkten inte är konstant utan beror på den kvantitet (eller kvalitet) som konsumenten köper. Denna typ av prissättning är vanligt förekommande när man exempelvis prissätter vatten eller elektricitet och har många önskvärda egenskaper. Till exempel är det ofta nödvändigt med icke-lineära priser för att uppnåThe price of a good is said to be nonlinear if the unit price not is constant but depends on some aspect of the quantity (or quality) purchased. This form of pricing is commonly used in many industries, e.g. the electricity and water industries, and has many desirable properties. For example, nonlinear pricing is often necessary for (Pareto) efficiency and nonlinear pricing can be used as an instr

A particular mix of integral equations and discretization techniques is suggested for the solution of a planar Helmholtz transmission problem with relevance to the study of surface plasmon waves. The transmission problem describes the scattering of a time-harmonic transverse magnetic wave from an infinite dielectric cylinder with complex permittivity and sharp edges. Numerical examples illustrate

Scholarly textbooks often follow a logic where suitable empirical cases are selected to illustrate the theoretical and analytical points that we as scholars want to make. But what would happen if we would do the opposite: build a textbook on a novel written by a novelist for such purpose and let the theories explain the actions and emotions of fictional characters? In this article, we share and re

Importance: The increasing burden due to cancer and other noncommunicable diseases poses a threat to human development, which has resulted in global political commitments reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan on Non-Communicable Diseases. To determine if these commitments have resulted in improved cancer control, quantitati

Importance: Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Current estimates on the burden of cancer are needed for cancer control planning.Objective: To estimate mortality, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost (YLLs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 32 cancers in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2015.Evidence Review: Cancer mortality w

The actor’s practice and bodily training during the twentieth century are specifically related not only to different bodily techniques, but also to language, modern society, and the concept of freedom. Nationalism, anti-intellectualism, bodily and vitalistic purism, and a sceptical distance from the modern project at the beginning of the twentieth century serve as a starting point for a discussion

New radiative lifetimes of 18 levels (energy range between 30 000 cm(-1)) and 39 000 cm(-1), in Ce II have been measured using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. A tunable frequency-doubled dye laser with I ns pulse duration was used to excite selectively singly ionized cerium in a laser-produced plasma The experimental results are compared with theoretical data and the agreement

Artificial antibodies in the form of gel granules were synthesized from the monomers acrylamide and N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide by the imprinting method in the presence of Echerichia coli bacteria as template. The electrophoretic migration velocities of the gel antibodies (i) saturated with the antigen (Escherichia coli MRE-600), (ii) freed of the antigen, and (iii) resaturated with bacteria, were

Recent public opinion research and elite deliberation has established a particular interest in galvanizing an EU army to better enforce a sense of integration, stability and strengthin the Union. This article proposes an alternative mechanism, privileging Richard Rosecrance’s concept of the ‘virtual state’ as anequally important and worthyfactor contributing to all those aspects.

Upphovsrättens grundläggande syfte är att säkerställa en rimlig balans mellan skyddet av upphovsmannens rättigheter och möjligheten att utnyttja kulturella och kreativa verk i samhället. Frågan om hur ersättningen till upphovsmän och utövande konstnärer bör fastställs vid överlåtelser av rättigheter är central inom upphovsrätten. I syfte att bidra till en fungerande digital inre marknad, stimuleraThe fundamental purpose of copyright is to ensure a fair balance between the protection of authors’ rights and the ability of society to access and exploit cultural and creative works. The question of how remuneration for authors and performing artists should be determined in cases of transfer of rights is a central issue within copyright law. With the aim of contributing to a well- functioning di

I takt med internets utveckling har svenskars mediekonsumtion skiftat från fysisk media till digital media. Vid marknadsföringen av digitala produkter använder sig näringsidkare av ordet ”köp” för att signalera att konsumenten kan förvärva produkten. Trots att ordet ”köp” används erhåller konsumenten inte någon äganderätt. I stället erhålls en icke-exklusiv, icke-överlåtbar, begränsad licens för pAs the internet has developed, Swedes’ media consumption has shifted from physical media to digital media. When marketing digital products, businesses use the word "buy" to signal that the consumer can acquire the product. Despite the use of the word "buy", the consumer does not acquire ownership of the product. Instead, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license for pr

BACKGROUND: Understanding the patterns of HIV/AIDS epidemics is crucial to tracking and monitoring the progress of prevention and control efforts in countries. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the levels and trends of HIV/AIDS incidence, prevalence, mortality, and coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 1980-2017 and forecast these estimates to 2030 for 195 countries and territories.M

I syfte att åstadkomma den gemensamma inre marknaden, har EU-domstolen fastslagit att medlemsstaterna vid utövandet av sin lagstiftningsbehörighet gällande direkt beskattning måste iaktta unionsrätten. Inom unionsrätten finns etableringsfriheten, vilken kräver att etableringar inte får missgynnas beroende på var inom unionen etablering genomförs. Som huvudregel har det, i de nationella skattesysteIn most national tax legislations within EU, only groups of companies within the same Member State are allowed to consolidate their gains and losses within the group, which clearly treats foreign establishments unfairly and therefore disregards the freedom of establishment. After the Marks & Spencer case, it’s been clear that national tax law that only allows group relief between national comp

The aim of the thesis was to help Tetra Pak with problems that have occurred with the creasing-unit. This unit is one of great importance in the production line for a final package with good quality. The unit is built up in modules, where each module performs the wanted operation. The motion between and in the modules is transferred by a gear transmission. The quality of the packages is decided by
