Money, Money, Money? Politico-Moral Discourses of Stem Cell Research in a Grant Allocation Process

Concerns have been raised about the marketization of science through the prevailing funding regime. However, the present article will discuss how it comes that the potentially marketable stem cell science is not more commercialized than what is currently the case. We approach this question by analysing discursive pluralism in defining the value of stem cells within a grant allocation process. More

Simulation and experimentation of a two-phase claw-pole motor

The aim of this paper is to evaluate static and dynamic characteristics of a two-phase claw-pole motor. The static characteristics are calculated and measured respectively for a single phase-core assembled into the motor and for a complete motor. The dynamic characteristics of the motor are evaluated on the basis of non-linear static characteristics. Later, the control system that is designed in s

Contract design to prevent underinvestment in Public-Private-Partnerships

Underinvestment happens when an investor abstain from investing in an asset, even if the investment is beneficial for the customer, because it does not perceive a profitable return on the specific investment. The risk for underinvestment is high in projects which rely on high asset specificity and towards the end of contract lifespan. This paper builds upon a qualitative analysis of documentation

Resource Allocation with Potts Mean Field Neural Network Techniques

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar komplexa optimerings problem med artificiella neuron nätverk (ANN) tekniker och diverse verktyg från den teoretiska fysiken. För många typer av komplexa optimerings problem kan den mänskliga hjärnan prestera ett snabbt och hyfsat bra svar. ANN bygger på en mycket rudimentär bild av hur det riktiga de riktiga neuronerna i hjärnan arbetar, syftPotts mean field artificial neural network techniques are developed and applied to airline crew scheduling problems and routing problems. A propagator formalism in terms of Potts neurons is developed to handle global topological issues. An integrated method for identifying and classifying ECG complexes is presented. Unsupervised self-organizing artificial neural networks are employed to cluster t

Man kan inte klara hur mycket som helst! Chefens syn på arbetsmiljön och dess betydelse för personalens hälsa inom Försäkningskassa

Denna rapport har kallats ”Man kan inte klara hur mycket som helst”, efter ett uttalande från en av de intervjuade cheferna. Studien ingår som ett led i KVAR-projektet vid Arbetslivsinstitutet Syd i Malmö. Vid intervjuerna framkom vissa faktorer i försäkringskassemedarbetarens arbetsmiljö som enligt chefernas beskrivning kan utgöra ett hot mot medarbetarnas hälsa och arbetstillfredsställelse. Ur c

Long-term effects of advanced driver assistance systems – Literature review

Search for scientific references on long-term effects of intelligent vehicle systems was carried out in the Transport (Ovid SP) database, produced by OECD, TRB (US) and ECMT (EU), as well as finding related articles on Google Scholar. Methods used in the reviewed studies include instrumented vehicles, field operations tests, in-car observation, cohort studies, interview studies, focus groups and d

Understanding Weather effects on, in, and from large Herbivore Population Dynamics

Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika arter av stora växtätare lever på platser spridda över nästan hela jordklotet. På många av dessa platser samlar vi människor data för att kunna skatta storleken på deras populationer. Anledningen till att detta görs varierar från plats till plats, det kan till exempel vara för att djuren är utrotningshotade, för att kunna bedriva nöjesjakt eller för att begränsa aLarge herbivores are monitored for various reasons in many areas around the world. Data from such monitoring can be of varying degree of detail and extent. Several studies have shown that we need extensive amounts of data with a high degree of detail to be able to understand anything from it. Nevertheless, data in the less detailed form of annual censuses of large herbivore densities and weather i

Force Control and Visual Servoing Using Planar Surface Identification

When designing flexible multi-sensor based robot systems, one important problem is how to combine the measurements fromdisparate sensors such as cameras and force sensors. In this paper,we present a method for combining direct force control and visualservoing in the presence of unknown planar surfaces. The controlalgorithm involves a force feedback control loop and a vision basedreference trajecto
