Robotar kan betraktas som ytterligare en i raden av tekniska innovationer inom äldreomsorgen, buren av förhoppningar om ökad effektivitet men med bibehållen livskvalitet i samband med ökade omsorgsbehov och möjligheten att bo kvar hemma. Diskursen är tidvis utopisk - löften om att hjälpa äldre människor att bli mer självförsörjande och självständiga med hjälp av robotar - och från ett mer dystopis
Decision outcomes and their lead times are critical in product management, as the market success of a product may strongly depend on the both the decisions themselves and their timing in relation to the market and competitors. This paper presents an investigation of one particular industrial case study data set by comparing upstream scoping decisions with downstream change decision. The results in
This article presents an analysis of definiteness from a cognitive and typological approach. The claim is that definiteness is a property based on referential grounds, and that this property goes beyond the language specific variations. First, some theories of the concept of definiteness are presented, together with a brief typological overview. Then follows the analysis of three languages: Greek
A professional impersonator has been studied when training his voice to mimic two target speakers. Training was performed by listening and/or using the output from a speaker verification system as feedback. Tests after training showed a significant increase in verfication score.

Under de senaste 20 åren har ordet region gjort ett minst sagt stormande intåg i det politiska språket ute i Europa, och under det senaste decenniet så även i Sverige. I det Europa som håller på att växa fram förmodas just regionen spela en alltmer central roll som ett politisk självstyrande område mellan den centrala och den lokala nivån. Vilka idéer och tankegångar är det egentligen som driver d
Many Swedish landfills are currently applied with a final cover. To minimise costs and the use of natural resources, waste materials can be a suitable substitute in landfill covers. Depending on the wastes’ contents, their mobility and in which layer of the final cover they are used, they could potentially contribute to the emission potential of the landfill. In this study the impact on landfill l
Samples of process streams were withdrawn at various positions at one groundwood, four thermomechanical (TMP) and two chemical thermomechanical (CTMP) lines in four different pulp mills. Samples were divided in fractions by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Concentration of sugars in each fraction was determined by high-performance anion exchange chromatography. The separate, but close response
