Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om åsikterna skiljer sig åt beroende på vilken geografisk region respondenten härstammar ifrån samt att undersöka om åsikterna skiljer sig åt mellan intressegrupperna. För att bearbeta materialet har en kvantitativ innehållsanalys gjorts av inkomna kommentarsbrev till IASB:s exposure draft 2013/9 för IFRS for SMEs som, utöver förslagen, innehöll åtta direkta
Smoothed Aggregation (SA) is a technique from algebraic multigrid methods (AMG) which has shown very promising results when solving systems of linear equations with symmetric system matrices, but suboptimal results for nonsymmetric system matrices. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the method EMIN(r) and a closely related method EMIN proposed by Sala and Tuminaro. EMIN(r) and EMIN were
This paper legally tests federated learning as a machine learning technique, which guarantees a high level of privacy. This paper provides answers to all legal aspects of this technical development as the first legal paper in this area, while challenging vague GDPR requirements. This method showed its supremacy over conventional anonymization techniques and other machine learning techniques. It mi
Research has identified the central role played by shame within a wide spectrum of public health issues including several common and serious threats to psychological and physical public health including depressions, dependency of substances, eating disorders, suicide, violence and sexual abuse. Shame has been described as “the master emotion of everyday life” but it is an emotional condition which
There are two purposes of thesis, the first is to determine: How efficient are Ready-To-Sell packaging solutions through IKEAs supply chain? And the second is to determine: To what level are Ready-To-Sell packaging solutions utilized at IKEA stores? If the solutions aren’t used as intended, what is the reason? Based on the result from the case study the objective is to: Identify possible potential
This document presents design considerations of a sample for accelerated thermal aging tests. The proposed specimen is a parallel wired solenoid that is evaluated by using an axi-symmetric 2D finite element (FE) model in Comsol multi-physics. The aim of the design model is visualizing an interior stress distribution of an idealized coil in order to interpret the physics-of-failure in a more comple
Purpose: To investigate the change in proportion of high-volume cataract surgeons during the period 2007 to 2016 and determine the impact of operation volume per surgeon and clinical unit on the rate of capsule complications. Design: Retrospective, register-based study. Participants: Patients undergoing and surgeons performing cataract surgery at Swedish ophthalmologic departments 2007–2016. Metho
Surrogate measures of safety (SMoS) are meant to function as tools to investigate traffic safety. The term surrogate indicates that these measures do not rely on crash data; instead, they focus on identifying safety critical events (or near-crashes) in traffic, which can be used as an alternative to crash records. The overall aim of this thesis is to explore which SMoS are suitable when analysing
BACKGROUND: Serial assessment of phosphorus is currently recommended by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, but its additional value versus a single measurement is uncertain. METHODS: We studied data from 17 414 HD patients in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study, a prospective cohort study, and calculated the area under the curve (AUC) by multiplying the
We present a greatly simplified proof of the length-space trade-off result for resolution in [P. Hertel, T. Pitassi, Exponential time/space speedups for resolution and the PSPACE-completeness of black-white pebbling, in: Proceedings of the 48th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS '07), Oct. 2007, pp. 137-149], and also prove a couple of other theorems in the same vein. W
α-Synuclein (α-syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein with a highly asymmetric charge distribution, whose aggregation is linked to Parkinson’s disease. The effect of ionic strength was investigated at mildly acidic pH (5.5) in the presence of catalytic surfaces in the form of α-syn seeds or anionic lipid vesicles using thioflavin T fluorescence measurements. Similar trends were observed with
The aim of the MIRACHL project is the characterisation and monitoring of insituremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination using an interdisciplinary approach and geophysical methods, such as DCIP (direct current induced polarisation) to investigate the remediation process.To interpret these geophysical field IP data, lab investigations with different kinds of bacteria are necessary to as
In this paper optimal spectral analysis window shapes, using weighted discrete prolate spheroidal sequences as basis functions, are proposed. These windows are not typically positive or even. The windows are time-shifted, combining the computational efficiency of the Welch method and the appealing property of predefined frequency resolution of the Thomson spectral estimator. The parameters of the
Background: Most validations of paediatric glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations using standardized creatinine (CR) and cystatin C (CYS) assays have comprised relatively small cohorts, which makes accuracy across subgroups of GFR, age, body mass index (BMI) and gender uncertain. To overcome this, a large cohort of children referred for GFR determination has been established from se
The morphology of the internal organs of two representative species of the crustacean classes Mystacocarida, Derocheilocaris typica (Pennak & Zinn, 1943), and Cephalocarida, Hutchinsoniella macracantha (Sanders, 1955), has been studied ultrastructurally from 1990 onwards. A review of the subject offers a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the two taxa at a time when their key positions
One of the most ubiquitous techniques within attosecond science is the so-called reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT). Originally proposed for the characterization of attosecond pulses, it has been successfully applied to the accurate determination of time delays in photoemission. Here, we examine in detail, using numerical simulations, the effect
Field observations of new particle formation and the subsequent particle growth are typically only possible at a fixed measurement location, and hence do not follow the temporal evolution of an air parcel in a Lagrangian sense. Standard analysis for determining formation and growth rates requires that the time-dependent formation rate and growth rate of the particles are spatially invariant; air p
A major challenge of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is to translate phenotypic associations into biological insights. Here, we integrate a large GWAS on blood lipids involving 1.6 million individuals from five ancestries with a wide array of functional genomic datasets to discover regulatory mechanisms underlying lipid associations. We first prioritize lipid-associated genes with expressi
