The evolution of World Wide Web (WWW) into semantic web is happening with the aid of standards like Resource Description Framework (RDF), SPARQL and a few others from World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Over the years, semantic data management technologies have been introduced as software platforms commonly known as RDF stores. Lately these RDF stores have been tested for processing and maintenance o
Tekniken för millimetervågor har fått stor uppmärksamhet inom 5G-kommunikation tack vare att ett stort spektrum finns tillgängligt i frekvensområdet för millimetervågor. Men mm-våglänkarna lider av allvarlig bana-förlust och atmosfärisk absorption. Strålformning,, att skapa riktade strålar som kan riktas åt olika håll med hjälp av ett stort antal antenner, är en lovande lösning till dessa utmaningMillimeter wave (mmWave band) technology has gained a lot of attention in 5G communications, due to large amounts of spectrum being available in the mmWave frequency range. However, mmWave links suffer from severe free-space loss and atmospheric absorption. Beamforming, which generates directed beams with strong gain using multiple antennas, is one promising solution towards these challenges. In t
This study is an analytical look at how new ventures approach keeping individuals within their organizations in order to ensure the long-run success of the venture. There is a particular focus on the non monetary incentives that are offered by employers and the influence they have on the intention for the individual to remain in a new venture. This has been done by following the framework of the j
The participation of grassroots communities became a must of development projects. International organizations advocate for the inclusion of community members to ensure projects’ success and sustainability. However, community engagement is often undermined by existing power dynamics between implementing agencies and communities. Power imbalances result from the lack of interdependency between acto
The food system accounts for a significant portion of environmental degradation, while it is at the same time to a large extent producing food that is deteriorating to human health. The private sector plays an essential role in contributing to the sustainability of the system. Based on a systematic literature review, we conceptualise the notion of sustainable nutrition (SN), which highlights the i
Background - The company is a Swedish manufacturer, developer and contract manufacturer of pharmaceuticals. In the last couple of years, the company has entered a growth phase which has led to issues with the internal processes such as material flow, warehouse operations and processes related to the production. The consequence has been occasional issues with delivering the products on time. As a r
Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec
The TRPV1 receptor (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) is a nonspecific membrane-bound cation channel, which plays an important role in nociception and pain transmission, the nerve-response to possibly dangerous stimuli. It is known that TRPV1 can be modulated by a variety of stimuli, amongst which heat, protons and chemical compounds, such as capsaicin, are the most known activators. This
Knowledge inequalities persist between the Global North and the Global South, but also within countries between privileged and underprivileged segments of society. The purpose of this study is to understand the motives of researchers from basic science and technology to investigate on socially demanded issues as well as the obstacles they encounter. The study is based on the experiences from eleve
This Master’s thesis investigates if a previously integrated Simulink based vehicle model works for testing and verifying software on an ECU (electronic control unit) used to control a four-wheel drive coupling in cars. The testing is done through a specific program called CANoe that allows the tester to both develop and run test cases. This work also investigates the possibility to use static eva
This work investigates the prospective impacts of climate change on wind-driven rain (WDR) and walls through simulating the hygrothermal performance of rain screen of common vertical wall constructions for the climatic conditions of Gothenburg in Sweden. While a substantial amount of work has been done on the impact of climate change on the thermal performance of buildings, this paper studies its
During the last twenty years archaeology has experienced a technological revolution that spans scientific achieve-ments and day-to-day practices. The tools and methods from this digital change have also strongly impacted archaeology. Image-based 3D modeling is becoming more common when documenting archaeological features but is still not implement-ed as standard in field excavation projects. When
Aims: The aim was to establish a baseline prevalence of skin conditions of public health importance in the general population and taking the validity of the questions into account. Our model is intended for future surveillance of skin conditions. Methods: The suggested questions have for the first time been used in Swedish population surveys. A random sample was taken from the general population a
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate the probable timing of events leading to cerebral palsy (CP) in singletons born small for gestational age (SGA) at term, taking neonatal death into consideration. METHODS: In this registry-based cohort study, data on 400 488 singletons born during 1996-2003 were abstracted from the Medical Birth and the CP registries of Norway. Among 36 604 SGA children (b
Purpose: To assess limits for significant improvement or deterioration of visual fields in diabetic patients based on short-term test–retest variability in subjects with different degrees of retinopathy. Methods: Fifty patients with diabetic retinopathy ranging from level 10 to 75 [according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) severity scale] were tested repeatedly with both
The 'Technological Innovation System' (TIS) framework and its system functions have become a popular analytical tool for the study of clean-tech innovation. There is increasing attention for the role of emerging economies in global clean-tech innovation, but the applicability of TIS to emerging economies cases is not entirely straightforward. A key issue is the limited geographical considerations,
Spin-echo modulation small-angle neutron scattering (SEMSANS) is based on the detection of spatial beam modulation, which is induced by triangular spin echo precession regions and subsequent spin analyses. In order to detect such signal and exploit it for small angle scattering investigations neutron detection with sub-millimeter spatial resolution is required. Here an approach is reported where i
