Dataflow is a Model of Computation (MoC) that describes applications as networks of actors. The CAL Actor Language (CAL) is one of the programming languages for describing such actors. A downside to CAL is that the actors and their networks are rigidly defined - it is not possible to have a parametric number of ports or actions in an actor. This makes it difficult to define flexible applications o
Eighty patients with monoradicular sciatica were examined by myelography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and all had subsequent surgery. The images were evaluated by a decision-analytic regret function. The largest amount of diagnostic information was gained from CT followed by MRI and myelography. Myelography was not significantly informative. The results suggest th
A continuous monitoring system was installed on the Oseberg ship, a large Viking Age archaeological wooden object (oak), in order to determine the material response to the uncontrolled conditions at the Viking Ship Museum, Oslo, Norway. Four areas have been monitored since July 2009, two boards on the ship and two samples free to deform (recent oak and a sample removed from the ship). Results, rep
Moderna, multimodala texter är visuellt fragmenterade i den meningen att de byggs upp av rad olika visuella element. Här finns visuellt avgränsade skriftstycken som brödtext, rubrik och ingress, det finns ofta bilder, grafer, kartor, punktlistor samt andra typer av layoutelement (som ramar, rutor och streck) för att organisera sidan. T.ex. ser ett modernt tidningsuppslag inte ut som ett för hundra
År 2015 samlades världens ledare och antog 17 globala hållbarhetsmål för att bidra till en social, ekonomisk och miljömässigt hållbar utveckling. De 17 globala hållbarhetsmålen utgör Agenda 2030 och ansvaret för genomförandet av agendan vilar på medlemsländernas regeringar. För att uppnå agendan måste alla sektorer engagera sig. Det innebär att kommunal räddningstjänst som är en del av den kommunaThe importance of sustainability is constantly increasing in today’s society and 2015 the United Nations adopted 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs), summarized as the “2030 Agenda”. To achieve the 2030 Agenda all sectors must become involved which means that the Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) must contribute to this sustainability work. It is therefore important to map how the Swedish
An increase in large-scale agricultural investment in land has been going on since the global food crisis in 2008. Import-dependent countries have acquired large plots of land to secure food supplies. The investments had disastrous impacts on the local communities living on the land before the investment took place. Many have been expropriated and evicted from their lands, affecting their human ri
I samband med att multinationella företag växt fram och fått en ökad betydelse och räckvidd i vår nu globaliserade ekonomi, har företagens sociala ansvar blivit en uppmärksammad och mycket aktuell fråga. Andra faktorer såsom klimatförändringar, mänskliga rättigheter och arbetsförhållanden har också bidragit till ökade krav på ansvar. Ett antal internationella standarder och rekommendationer på omr
Purpose: Glucose concentrations are elevated in retinal cells in undiagnosed and in undertreated diabetes. Studies of diabetic patients suggest that retinal function adapts, to some extent, to this increased supply of glucose. The aim of the present study was to examine such adaptation in a model of type 2 diabetes and assess how the retina responds to the subsequent institution of glycemic contro
I denna artikel studeras metaforer i den svenska civilrätten med hjälp av en modern teori om metaforer – den kognitiva lingvistiken och dess undergrupp, den konceptuella metaforteorin. Syftet är att göra observationer av konceptuella metaforer och visa på metaforerna och deras underliggande tankestrukturers grundläggande betydelse för civilrättslig reglering, och vi använder oss därför av flera ex
The principle of force feedback is to design a sensor as a feedback system where the action of the measured variable is compensated by a force generated by feedback. Force feedback has contributed significantly to improve the quality of sensors. A characteristic feature of MEMS devices is that they are subject to random disturbances, such as Brownian motion, Johnson-Nyquist noise, and tunneling no
Title: "What are your thoughts on the activities they offer where you live?" - A study of individualized activities in nursing homes Supervisor: Yvonne Johansson Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The aim of this study is to find out what elderly people themselves think about the activities offered at their nursing homes and how much they consider them being adapted for them. The stud
During recent years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a powerful tool have had a tremendous impact on research techniques in the realm of geography and spatial analysis. The integrative ability of GIS to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and finally present all types of geographical spatial data, has drawn many attentions to it. Water Resources Engineering as a interdisciplinary
Bakgrund: Tidigare studier har visat att Svenskt index för akutmedicinsk larmmottagning har svårt att prediktera vilka patienter som är akut sjuka respektive icke akut sjuka. Det kan innebära att ambulanssjukvården får köra ett onödigt stort antal uppdrag med hög prioritet vilket i sin tur leder till ökad belastning samt ökade risker, framförallt i trafiken. Vårdcentraler kan göra beställning av a
Arbetsvägran är i grund och botten ett allvarligt brott mot anställningsavtalet. I och med begreppets komplexitet uppstår dock situationer som inte alltid är enkla att förutse. På grund av det nyss anförda vaknade vårt intresse kring arbetsvägran och dess rättsliga konsekvenser, vilket sedermera la grunden för denna uppsats. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka och analysera rättsläget kring arbets“Refusal to work” is fundamentally a serious violation of the employment contract. Through its complexity, however, there are situations regarding “refusal of work” which is not easy to foresee. Our interest in the topic emerged from that complexity, and layed the basic ground for our essay. The purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyze the legal position regarding “refusal to work”. To
This paper examines the importance of taste and health in food demand, as well as the effect on consumers’ experienced taste of the non-intrinsic value of healthy labels. Our analysis is based on taste experiments and Vickrey second price auctions on potato chips and bread. Our findings imply a large positive effect on demand, as measured by willingness to pay, for potato chips from higher taste s
