Feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs) have previously been available in two configurations, the Fibonacci and Galois architectures. Recently, a generalized and unifying FCSR structure and theory was presented. The new ring FCSR model repairs some weaknesses of the older architectures. Most notably, the carry cell bias property that was exploited for an attack on the eSTREAM final portfolio c
Polymorphisms associated with prostate cancer include those in three genes encoding major secretory products of the prostate: KLK2 (encoding kallikrein-related peptidase 2; hK2), KLK3 (encoding prostate-specific antigen; PSA), and MSMB (encoding beta-microseminoprotein). PSA and hK2, members of the kallikrein family, are elevated in sera of men with prostate cancer. In a comprehensive analysis tha
We investigate the effects of metallicity on the broad-band photometric colors of late-type giants, and make a comparison of synthetic colors with observed photometric properties of late-type giants over a wide range of effective temperatures (T-eff = 3500- 4800K) and gravities (log g = 0.0-2.5), at [M/H] = -1.0 and -2.0. The influence of metallicity on the synthetic photometric colors is small at
OBJECTIVE: To identify perinatal factors associated with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: This was a case-control study based on the Swedish Medical Birth Registry and the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry, including 2,303 infants born in Sweden 1984-1998 with a diagnosis of CP and 1.6 million infants without this diagnosis. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (Cis) were calculated. RES
Surgery for Hirschsprung's disease is often complicated by post-operative bowel motility disorders. The impact of intestinal neural histology on the surgical outcome has been previously studied, but no information is available concerning the influence of the distribution of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) on these complications. These cells are considered to be pacemakers in the gastrointestinal
OBJECTIVE—To examine the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-4) inhibition on meal-related β-cell function and insulin sensitivity over 52 weeks in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In a 12-week core study, placebo (n = 51) or vildagliptin (n = 56; 50 mg OD) was added to metformin treatment (1.5–3.0 mg/day). A 40-week extension followed in 71 patients. Meal tests were performed at
Over a decade ago, the concept of objectively evaluating the performance of control strategies by simulating them using a standard model implementation was introduced for activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. The resulting Benchmark Simulation Model No 1 (BSM1) has been the basis for a significant new development that is reported on here: Rather than only evaluating control strategies at t
The present thesis concerns development and application of dual-broadband rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (DB-RCARS) for temperature and species concentration measurements in combustion processes. Both fundamental development of the technique, including experimental as well as modelling results, and measurements in practical combustion devices were conducted. A code for calcula
Five molybdenum oxide samples, subjected to conditions of oxidative ammonolysis and ammoxidation of toluene at 450 and 460°C, respectively, have been characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and specific surface area measurements. In oxidative ammonolysis, the relatively large, freshly prepared MoO3 crystals are reduced to smaller MoO2 crystals with a c
Background: Loss of chromosome 11q defines a subset of high-stage aggressive neuroblastomas. Deletions are typically large and mapping efforts have thus far not lead to a well defined consensus region, which hampers the identification of positional candidate tumour suppressor genes. In a previous study, functional evidence for a neuroblastoma suppressor gene on chromosome 11 was obtained through m
Uppsatsen undersöker den rättsliga innebörden av begreppet ”direktupphandlingar av samma slag”. I det nationella regelverket, som inte omfattas av Europeiska unionens upphandlingsdirektiv, återfinns möjligheten för en upphandlande myndighet eller enhet att under fasta beloppsgränser direktupphandla utan föregående annonsering. I 15 kap. 3 a § lagen (2007:1091) om offentlig upphandling (LOU) respekThis thesis examines the legal meaning of the concept “direct procurements of the same type”. There is an opportunity within the national legislation, which is not included in the European union procurement directives, for contracting authorities or entities to make a direct procurement (an informal procedure) under the national thresholds without prior publication of a contract notice. Chapter 15
To defend a market, the acting firms need defence strategies. The eight Arctic States have all published their own national strategic document for the Arctic region. In the Strategies they describe how they will act in this Arctic market. The Arctic is an area undergoing a change. With the last decades of melting ices as a result of the increased global warming, the Arctic is a more available regi
Shifting between living places has become a common routine for many people all over the world. On the other hand, some people like students and commuting workers move only temporary, where the feeling of home and simplicity of moving to a new place might be challenged. The starting-point for this project was to investigate if objects can make it easier to move from place to place both emotion
Decisions taken in the boardroom are considered to be of crucial importance for corporate governance, not least due to their wide-ranging implications for both an organization and its stakeholders. To take effective decisions on the board, the availability of the right skills and knowledge is deemed essential. Such skills and knowledge largely derive from board members previous educational and fun
Under de senaste åren har influencer marketing kommit att bli en av de vanligast förekommande och mest effektiva marknadsföringsmetoderna. Metoden går ut på att influencers, genom samarbeten eller på uppdrag av näringsidkare, publicerar innehåll som är ägnat att främja försäljningen av näringsidkarens produkter. På så vis kan marknadsförare, genom att utnyttja influencers relation till sin publik,In recent years, influencer marketing has become one of the most commonly used and effective marketing methods. The method involves influencers who, through collaborations or on behalf of businesses, publishes content intended to promote the sale of the business’s products. In this way, marketers can utilize the influencer’s relationship with their audience to reach a specific target group on a mo
Food waste represents major economic, social and sustainable challenges across the European Union, particularly within fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV). This study aims to quantify the amount of fresh food waste generated post-harvest for five FFV products i.e. avocados, bananas, cucumbers, eggplants and peppers (ABCEPs). This study will analyze and estimate the waste generated across 31 European
Den 30 juni 2022 trädde nya lagförändringar i kraft efter att förslaget om reformerad arbetsrätt antagits. En av lagförändringarna var 12 a § i lag (2012:854) om uthyrning av arbetstagare. Denna innebär att kundföretag ska erbjuda tillsvidareanställning för inhyrda arbetstagare som utfört arbete åt företaget på samma driftsenhet i sammanlagt mer än 24 månader under en 36-månaderperiod. LagförändriOn the 30th of June 2022, new law amendments entered into force after proposals for a reformed labor law. One of the proposals was 12 § a in the Agency Work Act. This section determines that client companies must offer permanent employment for hired workers who have worked for the company at the same operating site for a total of more than 24 months during a 36-month period. The legislation is bas
Even though animal farming is one of the leading causes of climate change and more people in the west are raising concerns over animal welfare, meat consumption here is high and expected to rise. This thesis examines the reasoning and tensions that arise when omnivores’ dietary choices clash with their love for animals by studying how the concept of the meat paradox and cognitive dissonance theory
