The thesis describes and analyzes six companies’ origins and development over the period 1950-2002, a time when the Swedish industrial sector was dominated by companies that were formed in the early 1900s. The firms, situated in the same region, have after an eventful journey become world leaders in the segment of machines with capacity to lift more than five tonnes. Investigations in Swedish busi
In this paper, the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of corrugated fluid channels of compact brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) are investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using the commercial CFD software ANSYS CFX 14.0. The influence of geometry parameters of the corrugated pattern such as chevron angle and corrugation pitch on the BPHE performance is investigated on
The In 3d(5/2) photoelectron spectroscopy peak has been widely used to determine the interface structures of In-containing III-V device materials (e.g., oxidation states). However, an unclear parameter affecting the determination of the energy shifts and number of the core-level components, and therefore, the interpreted interface structure and composition, is still the intrinsic In 3d(5/2) peak l
Background In ROCKET AF, rivaroxaban was non-inferior to adjusted-dose warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate whether the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban compared with warfarin is consistent among the subgroups of patients with and without previous stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Methods In ROCKET AF,
During brain embryogenesis, transcription factors drive stem cells towards neuronal fate. Here we show that the transcription factor Pax6 increased in vitro generation of neurons from striatal but not cortical neural stem cells (NSCs), derived from 6 to 9 weeks old human fetuses, without affecting survival and proliferation. Overexpression of mouse Pax6 produced increased numbers of GABA+ and DARP
In the last years there has been an increasing interest among scholars in what is typically Swedish and what is characteristic for a Swede. A typical question would be: what constitutes a Swede? There are various reasons for this growing interest. One of them is the increasing, permanent and progressively more marked appearance of immigrants in Sweden. In this text I will discuss the concepts ethn
We have previously documented the on-going work in the EUFORIA project to parallelise and optimise European fusion simulation codes, see. This involves working with a wide range of codes to try and address any performance and scaling issues that these codes have. However, as no two simulation codes are exactly the same, it is very hard to apply exactly the same approach to optimising a disparate r
To improve testability of integrated circuits against manufacturing defects, and to better handle the complexity of modern designs during debugging and characterization, it is common to embed testing, debugging, configuration, and monitoring features (called on-chip instruments) within the chip. IEEE P1687 proposes a flexible network for accessing and operating such on-chip instruments from outsid
Thread Level Speculation (TLS) has been suggested as a mean to automatically (or semi-automatically) extract parallelism from sequential programs. While there have been multiple attempts both in hardware and software to implement real time TLS, to the best of our knowledge all attempts have so far been on a byte code level or with statically typed languages. In this study, we examine the potential
Emissions of greenhouse gases in many European countries are declining, and the European Union (EU) believes it is on track in achieving emission reductions as agreed upon in the Kyoto Agreement and the EU's more ambitious post-Kyoto climate policy. However, a number of recent publications indicate that emission reductions may also have been achieved because production has been shifted to other co
Measurements of luminosity obtained using the ATLAS detector during early running of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at root s = 7 TeV are presented. The luminosity is independently determined using several detectors and multiple algorithms, each having different acceptances, systematic uncertainties and sensitivity to background. The ratios of the luminosities obtained from these methods are moni
Traffic engineers around the country often use pre-programmed path plans. However, there is often an uncertainty in how much margin there is in the path plan and if they are trustworthy. The goal of this report is to determine the margin in pre-programmed path plans, using the program AutoTurn, for trucks with a length of 10 meters. This report discusses drive and rest times how both the drive and
Sweden's public sector is drastically changing through reforms of privatization and increased market influences. The aim of this thesis is to examine these reforms' effects on political accountability. The object of study is the regional municipality of Scania, Region Skåne, and its elected officials' possibilities for accountability from the privatized primary care section of the regi
Research needs: Glass has been used for a long time, mostly in the window and packaging industry, but lately architects and design engineers have become more and more interested in glass as a load-bearing (building) material. It has become a challenge to use less other materials in the glass-structures or at least not to let it show too much. One area of big interest is bolt fixings. Design engine
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the Swedish newspapers' use of party-preference polls has changed over time. I study 246 articles published by Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and compare the time-period 1994-1996 with 2010-2012. Amongst other things, I look at the news-papers' reporting of basic statistical information in their polls, as well as th
Brottsoffret har sedan det introducerades som ett begrepp på 1970-talet allt mer kommit att dominera den politiska och akademiska debatten kring brott och straff. Mitt syfte med den här uppsatsen är att ur ett kritiskt perspektiv granska den svenska straffrätten ur ett brottsofferperspektiv. Vem är brottsoffret? Det finns ingen övergripande definition av vem brottsoffret är. En fråga som därför uThe term “crime victim” was introduced in the Swedish language in the 1970s. Since then it has more and more started to dominate the political and academic debate about crime and punishment. My aim with this essay is to from a critical point of view, review the Swedish criminal law from a crime victim-perspective. Who is the crime victim? There is no overall definition of who can qualify as a cri
Migrant women facing domestic violence in the Council of Europe have been traditionally characterised, except in some national countries, as not having any legal possibility to leave the situation with proper resources, or being able to guarantee their stay in the country they are living. Since the approval of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and
Sweden grapples with a critical issue: its extensive water infrastructure is nearing the end of its lifespan. While investment shortfalls increase this challenge, concerns linger about the potential mismanagement of existing assets. This research investigates how Swedish water utilities are strategically managing their ageing infrastructure. By exploring their utilisation strategies, the study aim
