A statistical analysis of amplitudes corresponding to multipath components in outdoor (urban/suburban) channels is presented. The study is based on short-term complex impulse response measurements conducted in Stockholm at 1.88 GHz carrier frequency with 5 MHz bandwidth. The actual investigations show that the Rice distribution gives the best fitting in the Kramer-von-Mises sense. Further it is sh
Primary ship waves generated by conventional marine vessels were investigated in the Furusund fairway located in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden. Continuous water level measurements at two locations in the fairway were analyzed. In total, 466 such events were extracted during two months of measurements. The collected data were used to evaluate 13 existing predictive equations for drawdown height
This work describes the research conducted in order to assess possible changes and uncertainties in future energy performance of the residential building stock in Stockholm. The investigation is performed on a sample of 153 existing and statistically selected buildings and covers the period of 1961-2100. Four uncertainty factors of the climate have been considered: global climate models, regional
OBJECTIVE: Reports of rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), along with their profound personal and societal burden, emphasize the need of methodologically sound studies to explore their causes and consequences. We here present the design of a large intergenerational resource for ASD research, along with population-based prevalence estimates of ASD and their diagnostic validity.METH
Departing from the renewed interest within economic history and economic geography on economic transformations, I will analyze the development of the Swedish manufacturing industry with regard to both space and time. The paper looks at how the role of Stockholm county (Sweden’s major regional market) changed in relation to the country overall in terms of employment in eight different industries. T
This work is a qualitative comparative case study of popularizing activities at the Louvre in Paris (2015-2019) and the Historiska Museet in Stockholm (1999-2005). Throughout a press content analysis, the two museums’ take and initiative to promote the intelligibility of cultural knowledge is decrypted and then compared. This thesis shows how different standards and conceptions lead to a more cons
In this research project, the measurements of the ultrasonic P- and S-waves and seismic cone penetration testing (CPT) were applied to identify subsurface conditions and properties of clayey soil stabilized with lime/cement columns in the Stockholm Norvik Port, Sweden. Applied geophysical methods enabled to identify a connection between the resistance of soil and strength in the stabilized columns
Market failure is a concept invoked in both economics and public policy to justify governmental interventions in the marketplace. Drawing on more than five years of qualitative research on public transport in Stockholm, this paper explores how market failure, operating as a form of folk theory within public policy, informed a legal reform. This reform aimed to reconfigure an established contractua
In the eighteenth century, the portrait genre, previously restricted to royalty and nobility, became available to users from a broader social spectrum. All over Europe, physicians, scholars, writers, merchants, and proprietors had their portraits painted to mark their standing in society. However, not these grand paintings but their printed versions made the sitters known to the broader public. Bu
Human adenovirus (HAdV) type F41 has been identified as a possible cause of the non-A-to-E hepatitis outbreak. This study uses wastewater monitoring to track HAdV F40 and F41, supporting clinical investigations and providing insights into the pathogen's role in the outbreak. Given the limited clinical monitoring in Sweden of HAdV-F40/41, this approach also helps estimate the true infection burden
The butchering of wild boar during the Mesolithic in South Scandinavia has been studied through the analysis of cut marks on osteological remains from the sites Ageröd I:HC, Ringsjöholm, Tågerup and Bökeberg III in Scania, Sweden. The study reveals relatively high frequencies of cut marks from dismembering and filleting. The distribution of cut marks indicates a uniformity in the dismembering of w
Improving accuracy and timeliness for osteoporosis diagnosis could help prevent fragility fractures, morbidity, and mortality for older individuals. Osteoporosis is an often silent health condition, especially as regards vertebral fractures, and WHO issued a call to action for primary care to lead efforts in screening, assessing, and managing diseases such as osteoporosis. We used a machine learni
This paper deals with the presence of Sámi in central and southern Sweden in the seventeenth century. The Nordic countries have generally been believed to be ethnically homogeneous, with the** colonial subjects not being present in the center of these empires. If the multicultural aspects of early modern Nordic countries are at all discussed, Sámi and other ethnic groups are understood as peoples
BACKGROUND: Long COVID has emerged as a global health challenge, with increasing evidence of cardiovascular sequelae. Most previous studies have focused on hospitalised cohorts, whereas cardiovascular risk in community-managed long COVID cases remains less explored. We aimed to investigate the incidence of major cardiovascular events in individuals with long COVID compared to those without long CO
