This paper presents methodologies that could be used for characterizing subscriber telephone loops that carry DSL services (ADSL and ADSL2+), by determination and analysis of frequency response, time domain reflectometry, and impulse response of the line. From this analysis, the subscriber loop length, identification and location of impairments such as bridged taps, gauge changes, and open ended t

En webbenkät utformades för att i explorativt syfte undersöka barnönskan, föräldraskap och livstillfredsställelse hos transpersoner i Sverige. Sammanlagt 154 inkomna svar analyserades med hjälp av envägs mellangrupps variansanalys (ANOVA). Resultaten visade bland annat att de respondenter som hade egna barn skattade högre livskvalitet och psykisk hälsa, upplevde i större utsträckning att de kunde An online survey was designed to explore desire for children, parenthood and life satisfaction among transgender people in Sweden. A total of 154 responses were analysed with one way between group analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that those with children of their own to a larger extent rated higher on items measuring life satisfaction, psychological well-being and the extent to which t

The main purpose of this study is to investigate how members of staff at group homes (LSS-bostäder) reason about the service users’ rights to self-determination in everyday life. Additionally, this study aims to investigate how group homes as a place may affect the fulfillment of self-determination rights. The following theories “The theory of Recognition” and ”the Principle of normalization”, the

Uppsatsen behandlar begreppet arbetsbrist i bemanningsföretag. För att en arbetsgivare ska kunna säga upp en arbetstagare krävs det saklig grund i form av antingen arbetsbrist eller personliga skäl. Vinstdrivande uthyrningsverksamhet legaliserades i Sverige år 1993, och bemanningsbranschen har sedan dess kommit att bli en naturlig del av den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Branschen bygger på ett trepartThe essay addresses the subject termination of an employment contract with notice due to redundancy. Termination with notice by the employer must be based on objective grounds, which could be either due to redundancy or circumstances related to the employee personally. Profit-making temporary work agencies were legalised in Sweden in 1993 and have since become a natural part of the Swedish labour

Expectations of and prerequisites for Swedish school libraries is the subject of this master’s thesis. The purpose of the thesis is to gain insights into what a school library is expected to be and what is required to achieve it. The thesis focuses on the trade union DIK's award “World class school libraries” which is meant to function as a set of criteria for what a well-functioning school li

This study investigates the potential of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, to aid venture capitalists in the screening of startups that maximize sustainability impact. To determine the scope that maximizes impact for venture capitalists' and to identify effective screening criteria, the study utilized theoretical research and interviews. The thesis suggests that the ideal investme

Problemformulering: Byggprocessen är idag långsam, kostsam och genererar stora mängder spill och utsläpp. För att kunna möta bostadsbehovet från den snabbt växande befolkningsmängden måste tekniken utvecklas, den måste bli snabbare och mer kostnadseffektiv. Med ny teknik där betongelement tillverkas genom automatiserad och datorstyrd 3D-printning kan eventuellt hela betongbyggnadsprocessen effektiQuestion formulation: The construction process today is slow, costly and generates large amounts of waste and emissions. In order to meet housing needs of the rapidly growing population in a sustainable way, the technology must evolve; it must be faster and more cost-effective. New technology, where concrete is manufactured by automated and computer-controlled 3D-printing, can possibly streamline

Konvergensen är ett starkt sätt att skapa ökat kundvärde på befintliga eller nya produkter och tjänster. Detta adderande värde för kunden sker huvudsakligen på två nivåer av konvergensen.: Tjänstekonvergensen, där man genom att erbjuda tjänster såväl fast som mobilt ökar tjänsens värde och på så sätt ger kunden ett ökat värde. Det ökade värdet av tjänsterna grundar sig i att de kommer att vara til

This paper describes the development of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for emulating an analog joystick using an inductive tongue-computer interface. The principle of operation of the interface and the inductive sensors signals are described. The FIS receives sensor signals and output the Cartesian position of the virtual joystick, which can be used to control the mouse pointer in a personal compu

Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån mitt empiriska material kartlägga och beskriva hur de anställda på de särskilda ungdomshemmen tolkar, definierar, och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de anställda samordnarna uppfattades och kategoriserades. I institutionspersonalens framställning är samordnarens The aim of this study is to map out and describe the way employees in Swedish juvenile homes interpret, define and perceive, on the one hand, the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” meaning “Counteract Violence and Gangs”, and on the other hand the role of the Coordinators employed in this project. The role of the Coordinator is formally clear and unproblematic. The project management directives sta

Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. A complementary test to discriminate between symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) and ABU is needed, as diagnostic uncertainty is likely to generate significant antibiotic overtreatment. Previous studies indicate that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in

A cochlear implant (CI) is a device that provides individuals with severe to profound hearing impairment (SPHI) with auditory stimulation, which makes it possible for them to develop skills related to spoken communication. We have little knowledge about how hearing with a CI influences cognitive and communicative development and there is a need for development of methods for assessment. The genera

An unmanned ship can be designed without considering humancomfort, and can thus be constructed lighter, smaller and less expensive.It can carry out missions in rough terrain or be in areaswhere it would be dangerous for a human to operate. By not havingto support a crew, lengthy missions can be accepted, enabling, e.g.reconnaissance missions, or reducing emissions by lowering thespeed.Breakthrough

BACKGROUND: The majority of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur at place residence, which is associated with worse outcomes in unselected prehospital populations. Our aim was to investigate whether location of arrest was associated with outcome in a selected group of initial survivors admitted to intensive care.METHODS: This is a post-hoc analysis of the Targeted Temperature Management a
