The way we use computers and mobile phones today requires large amounts of processing of data streams. Examples include digital signal processing for wireless transmission, audio and video coding for recording and watching videos, and noise reduction for the phone calls. These tasks can be performed by stream programs—computer programs that process streams of data. Stream programs can be composed
Objective: The course and the long-term outcome of 'refractory' secretory otitis media (SOM), defined as continuous SOM for more than 6 years, were studied in 52 young patients. They had during childhood been treated for bilateral SOM on average for 12 years (range 6 to 26 years). The mean interval between resolution of SOM and examination was 7 years. Methods: At follow up the patients' medical r
Several room acoustic parameters have to be considered in ordinary public rooms, such as offices and classrooms, in order to present the actual conditions, thus increasing demands on the acoustic treatment. The most common acoustical treatment in ordinary rooms is a suspended absorbent ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorbent material, the classical diffuse field assumption is
GRASP (Group and Social Psychology) is an interdisciplinary conference, which aims to provide a community around social psychological issues for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from the Nordic countries within the fields of psychology, sociology, education, behavioural sciences and social work to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, princi
We examine the effects of the 1999 transition to full university of three former Swedish university colleges: Karlstad, Örebro, and Växjö on scientific output. This change was accompanied by a substantial increase in research funding. Scrutiny of the process reveals that the transition was far from obvious, allowing us to analyze the impact of increased research resources in a quasi-experimental s
In what ways can various perspectives, aims, circumstances, and directives influence music students and music teachers in different educational contexts such as primary school, Schools of music and performing arts (SMPA), folk high school, and upper secondary school, viewed from a Nordic perspective?A common characteristic for all these types of schools is that they can be part of an educational a
Propertydevelopment means that the land use change or intensify. A property is unique in its physical and its geographical location, because of this, the process in propertydevelopment must be adapted to the objects conditions. For the process to be initiated, requires the developer a certain demand and/or a profit potential. The work can be divided into these following steps, they do not have
The concept of run-o triangles is widely used within the actuarial eld. Its purpose is to estimate Incurred But Not Reported claims for insurance portfolios, in order to set appropriate reserves that are in compliance with regulatory requirements as well as the company's risk appetite. In this thesis, a parametric approach is proposed, where the portfolios are modeled using non-stationary dist
Bakgrund: Antalet personer som drabbas av demenssjukdomar ökar kraftigt och anhöriga till dessa påverkas i vardagen på olika sätt, vilket kan påverka deras hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos anhöriga till personer med demens. Metod: Data inhämtades genom en fokusgrupp vid två upprepade tillfällen med 5 deltagare. En riktad innehållsanalys ge
Personal assistance - A qualitative study of the significance of the reform In 1994, a new law, Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) was implemented as a part of the Swedish welfare system. The purpose of the law is to assure safety for people in one of three target groups that are further defined in 1 §, LSS. The law gives people in these targe
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) – as one of a number of additive manufacturing techniques – is a promising method for the manufacturing of complex structures and may bring about significant improvements in the context of custom-made designs and lightweight constructions. However, the complex multiphysical processes occurring during SLM necessitates the establishment of appropriate constitutive and p
In May 2003 Lund University, Sweden, ordered a new AMS facility from National Electrostatics Corp. (NEC), Wisconsin. The system is the first low energy, open air, single stage AMS system (SSAMS). The machine is equipped with a dual ion source sequential injector, which allows measurements of carbon with the masses 12, 13 and 14. The machine operates at 250 kV with the gas stripper, high energy mag
Utgångspunkt för denna uppsats är Gabor Matés facklitterära bok In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction från 2008. Första delen av uppsatsen innehåller en källtextanalys av boken, där bland annat bokens kontext, innehåll och stil diskuteras. Andra delen av uppsatsen utgörs av en översättningsanalys, där hanteringen av några polysema ord analyseras. Före själva analysen prese
Active suspensions of microswimmers such as bacteria or microalgae are found in oceans or lakes, and within living organisms, such as the human body. These suspensions can exhibit complex flow patterns and enhanced diffusion of passive tracer particles due to the advection from the long-ranged dipolar flow fields of the swimmers. The diffusion of tracers at varying radii is poorly understood but o
Today there is an increased interest in achieving a greater understanding of coastal dynamics as well as ways to determine the provenance of these coastal sediments. Here it is investigated whether the relatively new method of utilising optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), proposed by Gray et al. (2019), is a viable method on Scanian coastal sediments, as the bedrock is highly diverse in compa
This thesis studies the impact of the war in Ukraine on stock prices of firms within the European defense industry. While previous studies have examined the effects of war on stock prices of defense firms, fewer studies specifically focus on the war in Ukraine. Furthermore, this thesis focuses solely on European defense firms, offering a new geographical perspective to the topic. Additionally, the
