For quite some time, the governance of municipal corporations has been criticized on the grounds of its lack of transparency and its weak mechanisms of accountability. However, despite the fact that municipal ownership of corporations has become an increasingly controversial issue, the number of municipal corporations has grown, as has also the extent to which they are perceived as a source of unf
We derive frequency-domain criteria for the convergence of linear iterative learning control (ILC) on finite-time intervals that are less restrictive than existing ones in the literature. In particular, the former can be used to establish the convergence of ILC in certain cases where the latter are violated. The results cover ILC with non-causal filters and provide insights into the transient beha
In this article we prove NP-hardness of two well-known optimization problems related to the design of multicommodity flow networks with two different methods for providing network resiliency against failures: path diversity and flow restoration. Path diversity is a static mechanism that consists of using, for each demand, a number of paths and oversizing the flows assigned to these paths so that f
Popular Abstract in Swedish De allra flesta människor har vid något tillfälle tagit ett läkemedel. Till exempel vaccineras nu för tiden alla svenska barn mot bland annat stelkramp. Vad nog de allra flesta däremot inte har gjort är att fundera på vad ett läkemedel är. Kanske sträcker man sig till att ha kollat upp ett läkemedel i FASS, och kanske får man då syn på en figur som består av streck och A method to accurately estimate the binding affinity of a small molecule to a receptor would be indispensable in numerous fields. For instance, most drugs exert their action by binding to a macromolecule target. Thus, a lot of time and resources could be saved in drug design by predicting affinities by computer programs. In a series of 15 papers, we have tested, compared, and improved the most p
Recently, there has been an increase in apartments with a large number of inhabitants, i.e., high residential density. This is partly due to a housing shortage in general but also increased migration, particularly in suburbs of major cities. This paper specifies issues that might be caused by high residential density by investigating the technical parameters influenced in Swedish apartments that aRecently, there has been an increase in apartments with a large number of inhabitants, i.e., high residential density.

We study the notion of (additive) separability of a function of several variables with respect to a hypergraph (H-graph). We prove the existence of a unique minimal H-graph with respect to which a function is separable and show that the corresponding minimal decomposition of the function can be obtained through a recursive algorithm. We then focus on (strategic form) games and propose a concept of
Trusted Third Parties (TTPs) are a standard building block in secure systems and are used in many cryptographic protocols. A TTP is an entity which facilitates interaction between the users in a system. As the name suggests, TTPs are trusted, and can thus be relied on to perform critical parts of a protocol without need for external scrutiny. Due to this property, they can serve the role of making
In autumn and winter 2015/2016, the Swedish government introduced a border control between the Danish and Swedish side of the Øresund region, which ended almost 60 years of free mobility between the two countries. The scope of the present study is to examine how the introduction of the border control has altered the conditions within the cross-border Regional Innovation System (RIS) of the Øresund
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka olika aspekter på intersubjektivitet, metakognitiv utveckling och mellanmänsklig förståelse. Mer precist var syftet att undersöka hur några specifika teorier – mentaliseringsteorin, teorin om primär intersubjektivitet, samt interaktionsteorin – beskriver vilken roll intersubjektivitet har att spela i denna utveckling. De förThe aim of the thesis was to examine different aspects of the role of intersubjectivity in metacognitive development and in social understanding. More specifically, it investigates how different theoretical frameworks, such as mentalization theory, the theory of primary intersubjectivity, and interaction theory describe the developmental role of intersubjectivity. The suggestions these theories ma
The frequency dependence of the permittivity, permeability, and index of refraction restrict metamaterial applications such as cloaking and perfect lenses. Here, the principles of causality and passivity together with identities for Herglotz functions are used to construct various sum rules. The sum rules relate the frequency dependence of the material parameters with their high- and low-frequency
Structural Health Information (SHI) may be provided by various sources such as e.g. structural health monitoring, inspections, testing and digital technologies and networks as by the Industry Internet of Things (HOT). SHI holds a high potential for industrial, life safety and sustainability value and facilitates an optimal and intelligent life cycle management of infrastructure and machinery syste
Cambodia continues to experience a high prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) across the country. This may be attributed to the deeply embedded patriarchal customs that emphasize the subservience of women and authority of men. Previous literature has found that IPV may lead to negative health implications among victimized women, such as impaired well-being, unintended pregnancies, and HIV/
