In future radio systems, flexible coding and decoding architectures will be required. In case of the latter, implementing architectural flexibility with regard to low power issues is a challenging task. The flexible encoding platform in this paper is a first step toward this envisioned decoder. It generates a wide class of codes, starting with convolutional codes. As an extension to this, turbo co

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid det tillstånd som kallas för vattenskalle, hydrocephalus, uppstår övertryck innanför skallen på grund av att vätskan, som cirkulerar där inte kan dräneras. Redan efter andra världskriget började man sätta in shuntar för att avleda överskottsvätskan till andra hålrum i kroppen, hjärtats förmak eller bukhålan. Runt 1960 kom emellertid de första rapporterna om infektioCoagulase-negative staphyloccoci (CoNS) are the most frequently isolated micro-organisms from infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts and temporary ventricular drainage catheters, used in modern neurosurgery. CoNS originate from the skinflora of the patient or the surgeon and gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion, but the infection can erupt up to a year later or more. Immed

Field measurements of mercury emissions has been performed by using a mobile lidar system. In this system an Nd:YAG-pumped OPO (Optical Parametric Oscillator) laser system is employed to generate a narrow band (better than 0.2 cm-1) UV beam at the mercury resonance absorption line at 253.65 nm. An inter-comparison of the lidar system and two different point monitoring systems has been performed sh

Boken handlar om digerdöden 1347-52 och dess kulturella följdverkningar, främst i Europa (men även i Främre Orienten). Steg för steg skildras epidemins härjningar i hela den kända världen, men dessutom skildras dåtidens orsaksförklaringar, medicinska experiment, religiösa rörelser, judepogromer, agrarkriser, med mera, vilka alla på ett eller annat sätt kan länkas till digerdöden. Boken belönades

As the Nordic welfare states evolve – with ideologies that focus on an increased consumption of health services – citizens are required to be productive throughout their life course. And because fewer economic resources are being invested into basic health care, and there is a move to shift more responsibility onto the individual (patient), it is becoming essential to illuminate practices that sho

A reading of Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film, Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

Artikeln utvecklar två idealtyper för idealistisk systemfilosofi och den positiva andan, och använder sedan dessa för att rekonstruera en förändringsprocess inom finsk och svensk universitetsfilosofi som försiggår under slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet.

New institutional theory has been critizised, for describing institutionalization as a static qualitative state rather than a process. In this paper we provide an extended understanding of the process of institutionalization by replacing the mechanical concept of diffusion by the concept of translation and an analytical model of "trevel of ideas". Analyzing the field material from three cases of t

I denna bok utforskas den rättsliga hanteringen av duellbrott som ärekränkningar och dueller med dödlig utgång under stormaktsväldets slutskede. Med inspiration från New Cultural History och teorier om manlighet och våld analyseras lagtexter, rättsfall, prästers och rättslärdas skrifter samt anklagade duellanters brev och nådeansökningar. Studien fokuserar på hur den rättsliga diskursen kring duelThis dissertation examines duelling crimes in Sweden during the first half of the 18th century. During this period such crimes could involve verbal insults concerning honour as well as duelling, resulting in death. Inspired by the methods and perspectives of New Cultural History and by theories of masculinity the study argues that masculine violence is a cultural category that is historically deve

The purpose of this paper is to provide an ex-post evaluation of the effectiveness of the South Korean Green New Deal (GND) as an instrument to deliver both an economic recovery and improved environmental performance. We use the energy sector as the main scope for our analysis when measured against climate-related indicators (e.g. CO2 emissions, energy intensity, share of renewable energy in suppl

Increased productivity is of societal good and efforts to achieve this should be a relevant task for all businesses. However, the concept of productivity is not clear as to what is to be measured. This becomes a problem especially when statements are made that the development of productivity in the construction industry is not as good as other sectors of industry. It is not clear if this compariso

In the study presented in this paper, the effect of different vehicle driving cycles on the pneumatic hybrid has been investigated. The pneumatic hybrid powertrain has been modeled in UT-Power and validated against experimental data. The GT-Power engine model has been linked with a MATLAB/simulink vehicle model. The engine in question is a single-cylinder Scania D12 diesel engine, which has been c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar metoder för att kunna beräkna den last en struktur kan bära. En struktur kan i detta sammanhang vara allt från en bro till en mjölkkartong. För att kunna göra en korrekt bedömning av den lastbärande förmågan måste hänsyn tas till olinjära effekter som härrör från stora deformationer. Sådana olinjära effekter kan orsaka instabilt beteende hos en stIn this thesis, methods to determine the static postbuckling behaviour of elastic structures undergoing large deformations, are considered and developed. Since the governing non-linear equations usually becomes too complex to be handled analytically, the main focus has been on developing methods that can be incorporated into a numerical solution scheme, such as the finite element method.
