This paper describes the development of a modular system of interactive tiles to support therapists’ in performing therapeutic activities together with impaired children in a swimming pool. Active Surfaces support mobile interactions and dynamic configuration of assemblies of tiles. Each tile represents an interactive unit, able to communicate with other tiles and to exchange data. The tiles can
The objective of these two deliverables is to get an overview of the European organisations that we have identified as probable users of the SEAMLESS IF (Section A) and to report on the users' requirements on such an assessment tool (Section B). The major characteristics of these organisations are described, along with their tasks in relation to assessment of agricultural and sustainability questi
Policy intervention schemes for increased deployment of solar photovoltaics (PV) have been launched in several countries, with varying success. In order to ensure an efficient deployment of the technology, thorough knowledge is needed about relevant present actors and institutions, and about how a desirable actor base and institutional setup should look like; mere cost reductions are not enough to

Empirical results show that there is often no identity between the meaning of expressions used by students in expressing their understanding of subject matter and the meaning of those expressions in collectively shared meaning systems, social languages or discourses, and especially not the meaning system represented by the subject matter theory expected to be learned. There is also often a lack of
In National Audit Offices (NAOs), impact is often used as a measure of success, serving to build legitimacy. When aiming to maximize impact, the media tends to play an important role. Based on empirical observations from the Swedish NAO, this paper explores how the role of the media for a NAO can be understood, and how this may affect independence. It is suggested that impact can be understood ei
In many magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) applications, one strives to estimate the parameters describing the signal to allow for more precise knowledge of the analyte. Typically, MRS signals are well modelled as a sum of damped sinusoids that has properties that are partly known a priori. FREEK, a recently proposed subspace-based parameter estimation method allows for inclusion of such prior
Hälsosant är en rehabilitering av långtidssjukskrivna i grupp som har utarbetats i Värkstaden och testats på sex apoteksanställda personer i Stockholmsregionen som alla varit sjukskrivna under minst 90 dagar. Resultaten som jämförts med s.k. matchade kontroller från Göteborg/Malmö-regionerna är lovande, även när det gäller återgång i arbete. Gruppen är dock för liten för att man ska kunna dra någr
Manufacturing processes can generally be classified as continuous, discrete or batch. An industrially well accepted way of structuring and controlling batch processes is presented in the ISA 88 standard (also known as IEC 61512). In exploring how this standard also could be used for discrete manufacturing processes, especially in robotic applications, different challenges and opportunities are fou
Based on the gamma-spectroscopic analysis of G.N. Sylvan et al., configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations have been performed. They describe the nucleus Kr-77 globally in good agreement with the experimental findings and the expectations derived from single-particle orbitals in a deformed potential. Within these calculations, the unambiguous assignment of a configuration wit
