The Swedish construction industry is an example of a trade largely dominated by men. The main purpose of this study is to examine how said male dominance affects companionship among workers by analysing male homosociality and hegemonic masculinity. Based on six separate interviews with both male and female construction workers, this study explores the attributes that constitute an ideal constructi
This paper presents a hardware architecture of pulse shaping filter used in multicarrier systems. The filter can be configured to be used for both transmitter and receiver with limited overhead. Generic implementation complexity analysis for a filter in a multicarrier system with N sub-carriers is presented, while the implemented architecture is for a system with 128 sub-carriers. The pulse shapin
Clubhouses are supposed to follow the International Clubhouse Standards, but they also need to make adaptations according to national and local contexts. This article compares the implementation of peer support elements in the clubhouse model in two different social contexts: the Swedish and the Japanese welfare systems. Participatory observations and interviews with members and staff at a Swedish
This paper presents the design of a digital PLL which uses a high resolution Gated-Ring-Oscillator-Based Vernier Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) for low noise RF application. The TDC uses two gated ring oscillators (GRO) acting as the delay lines in an improved Vernier TDC. The already small quantization noise of the standard Vernier TDC is further first-order shaped by the GRO operation. Addition
Multi-faceted objects and multi-sensory environments are constantly changing and shifting the way we use our senses, the way we perceive material and immaterial aspects of our environment and structure our experiences. How things co-exist, how they might be connected or be in a state of collision, defines the way we experience and interact with them. Through my work, I explore ways of sensing and
This thesis aims to explore the relevance of identities for the support of democracy in Ukraine. It elaborates on the assumption that the identity's construction affects which ideas are embraced and sets out to test whether a civic as opposed to ethnic identity construction would correlate with the embracing and pursuit of the idea of democracy. Material gathered during a Minor Field Study - i
Large intelligent surface (LIS) is a technology that extends massive MIMO by considering an even greater number of antennas distributed throughout vast areas. In order to be able to implement this technology, it is crucial to consider decentralized architectures so as to make the whole system scalable. We consider a LIS divided into several LIS panels of smaller size, which can be located far away
Political scientists routinely face the challenge of assessing the quality (validity and reliability) of measures in order to use them in substantive research. While stand-alone assessment tools exist, researchers rarely combine them comprehensively. Further, while a large literature informs data producers, data consumers lack guidance on how to assess existing measures for use in substantive rese
As a result of the project “A National Strategy for Standardisation of DigitalInformation Management within the Built Environment”, this report describes the framework of the strategy. The responsibility of the framework, maintenance and the update will be handled by the newly created Samhällsbyggandets Regelforum.Samhällsbyggandets Regelforum aims to contribute to the development of new and exist
Millimeter-wave cellular communication requires beamforming procedures that enable alignment of the transmitter and receiver beams as the user equipment (UE) moves. For efficient beam tracking it is advantageous to classify users according to their traffic and mobility patterns. Research to date has demonstrated efficient ways of machine learning based UE classification. Although different machine
This article aims at questioning the uses of feminist epistemologies and methodologies in the context of a fieldwork project conducted in Colombia on the return to civilian life of female combatants. While the topic « female combatants »tends to be the object of an academic over-investment, contributing to its depoliticization, the Authors discuss the various approaches, tools and methods produced
Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot
This project examines why local materials matter and the main elements to consider when making sustainable designs. Iceland is heavily relying on import because of the scarcity of raw natural local materials. In the main natural materials require less energy and water use as they are less processed and consequently become a more sustainable choice. However importing natural materials significa
This thesis puts forward the idea that the radical other that constitutes and threatens our society is not to be found outside its limits, but that it is something inherent to our society. It proposes that the threatening other, the constitutive outside of society, is the subject 'the poor', that in its failure to partake in the labour market, fails to conform to the rules of the market, a
Following trends in local and global environments, it is obvious that many companies are faced with difficulties to survive in this competitive environment. Business Model Innovation (BMI) is the key to the firm’s long-term success. The case study of BTC d.d., has been made to give an example how firms should be aware of their weaknesses and strengths in order to constantly innovate their business
When a severe deleterious mutation appears in a population, it is expected to disappear through negative selection within a few generations. However, the variance of this number is significantly large to allow some deleterious mutations to exist for several generations. To extend the understanding about these dynamics can help to prevent and treat genetic disease in humans and other species. In or
A popular model for social evolution in the Santa Barbara Channel region holds that, during times of resource stress, islanders would trade with mainlanders for plant foods in order to supplement island diets. Recently, western sea-purslane (Sesuvium verrucosum) has been suggested as a primary food product involved in this exchange. This report presents new caloric values for Sesuvium verrucosum a
Det är vanligt förekommande att fysiska och juridiska personer vill minska sin beskattning. Det finns stor variation i förfaringssätt som medför minskad beskattning. Denna uppsats undersöker om dubbel skattefrihet kan uppstå vid hemvistbyte. Dubbel skattefrihet innebär att varken den nya eller tidigare hemviststaten beskattar personen. På så sätt blir vissa inkomster skattefria. Det har tidigare fIt is common that physical and legal entities want to reduce their taxation, and there are several processes available. This paper examines whether double exemption of tax can arise when changing residence. Double non-taxation means that neither the new nor previous state of residence will tax that entity. Some income will therefore be excluded from taxation. Such a process has previously been pos
