Digital controllers are traditionally implemented using periodic sampling, computation, and actuation events. As more control systems are implemented to share limited network and CPU bandwidth with other tasks, it is becoming increasingly attractive to use some form of event-based control instead, where precious events are used only when needed. Forms of event-based control have been used in prac
Digitaliseringen har inte bara revolutionerat vår vardag och hur vi kommunicerar utan även skapat en ny arena för brottslighet. Bland de mest bekymmersamma brotten som har ökat i takt med den digitala utvecklingen är sexuella övergrepp mot barn. I syfte bekämpa och förebygga dessa brott presenterade EU-kommissionen 2022 ett förslag till en förordning som ålägger leverantörer av interpersonella komDigitalization has not only revolutionized our daily lives and how we communicate but has also created a new arena for criminal activity. Among the most concerning crimes that have increased with the rise of digital development is child sexual abuse. In order to combat and prevent these crimes, the European Commission presented a proposal for a regulation in 2022 that obliges providers of interper
Uganda faces various challenges related to compliance, including tax evasion, regulatory non- compliance, and violations of legal standards, laws, policies and regulations among others. These issues undermine the government's ability to collect revenue, provide public services, and maintain law and order. Enhancing compliance is not only a matter of enforcing penalties but also involves creati
Det svenska socialrättsliga systemet bygger på frivillighet, vilket innebär att socialtjänstens insatser som huvudregel kräver samtycke från både barnet och dess vårdnadshavare. Det kan skapa ett rättsligt mellanläge där barn riskerar att stå utan nödvändigt stöd, när kriterierna för tvångsvård enligt LVU inte är uppfyllda, samtidigt som samtycke till frivilliga insatser saknas. För att åtgärda deThe Swedish social welfare system is based on the principle of voluntariness, meaning that social services interventions generally require the consent of both the child and their guardians. This can create a legal gap where children risk being without necessary support, as the criteria for compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) are not met, while consent for voluntary interventi
The relation between treatment outcome and trough plasma concentrations of efavirenz (EFV), atazanavir (ATV) and lopinavir (LPV) was studied in a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic substudy of the NORTHIV trial-a randomised phase IV efficacy trial comparing antiretroviral-na < ve human immunodeficiency virus-1-infected patients treated with (1) EFV + 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (2NR
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Brott på strålbenet på handledsnivå (handledsbrott) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att patienter måste uppsöka en akutmottagning. Skadan drabbar oftast medelålders och äldre kvinnor. Skelettet blir skörare hos kvinnor efter klimakteriet, vilket lättare leder till ett benbrott. Medan brott på lårbenshalsen oftast drabABSTRACT Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries that may cause persistent disability and pain. This thesis prospectively investigates the incidence and characteristics of distal radius fractures, the relationship between fracture malunion and disability and the natural course of patient-reported outcome after fracture in a well-defined population in Northeastern Scania, Sweden.

During a changeover, that is when the tools in a machine are replaced so that it is able to manufacture another product, no other products can be manufactured and therefore the company looses money. To minimize this loss the production is often organized with big batches to minimize the amount of changeovers. A consequence of this is that the stock of WIP-products (Work In Progress) increases and
Since the signing of the Treaty on the European Union (TEU) in 1993 the European Union has been base on three "&semicpillars"&semic. The European Community falls under the so-called pillar I. Under the terms of the TEU the two pillars on the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and on Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) differ from pillar I for they do not share the institu
Det är vanligt att privatpersoner köper fordon på avbetalning med ett återtagande- och/ äganderättsförbehåll. I avbetalningskontraktet skrivs vanligtvis in att köparen ska teckna en motorfordonsförsäkring hos ett försäkringsbolag. Motsvarande gäller vid leasing av ett fordon, där det vanligtvis är leasingtagaren som ska teckna en motorfordonsförsäkring. Det finns några krav som försäkringstagaren It is common for individuals purchasing vehicles via hire purchase in a readmission and / retention of title. The installment contract is usually written so that the buyer must take out motor insurance with an insurance company. The same applies to the leasing of a vehicle, where it is the lessee who usually must take out motor insurance. There are requirement thus ensuring that the policyholder i
Recent developments in European energy policy reveal an increasing interest in implementing the so-called ‘Tradable White Certificate’ (TWC) schemes to improve energy efficiency. Based on three evaluation criteria (cost-effectiveness, environmental effectiveness and distributional equity) this paper analyses the implications of implementing a European-wide TWC scheme targeting the household and co
Understanding factors that limit gene flow through the landscape is crucial for conservation of organisms living in fragmented habitats. We analysed patterns of gene flow in Elater ferrugineus, an endangered click beetle living in old-growth, hollow trees in a network of rural avenues surrounded by inhospitable arable land. Using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data, we aimed to eval
NGC 2419 is a peculiar Galactic globular cluster off set from the others in the size-luminosity diagram, and showing several chemical abundance anomalies. Here, we present Stromgren uvby photometry of the cluster. Using the gravity-and metallicity-sensitive c(1) and m(1) indices, we identify a sample of likely cluster members extending well beyond the formal tidal radius. The estimated contaminati
What are the social positions of adults who were in long-term foster care as children, compared with the general population and with adults who grew up at home in families similar to foster children's birth families? How common is it to have been in foster care? Four approaches are used in this study: - A systematic review of around 50 studies on adult foster children. Conclusions are more pessim
A large amount of scientific work has been carried out to enhance the methods used for design and control of technical systems. For many of these systems, the main objective is to utilize the limited resources in an optimal way. Different simulation techniques have, in many cases, been successfully applied to the analysis. When working with technical systems, it is important to have a common notat
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used in order to investigate the relationships between structure, dynamics and calcium binding in the intracellular regulatory protein, calmodulin. Calmodulin consists of two similar domains, each binding two calcium ions with positive cooperativity. The studies described in this thesis focus on the isolated C-terminal domain, TR2C, and two mutants
Objectives: First, to outline the theoretical and practical framework for geriatric rehabilitation in the Nordic countries and second, to survey the scientific medical publications for evidence-based geriatric rehabilitation. Methods: Brainstorming on geriatric rehabilitation in a working group of Nordic teachers in geriatric medicine. Papers on scientific programmes for geriatric rehabilitation f
Nonstoichiometric CuOx/CeO2 nanocomposite particles have been synthesized by inert gas condensation (IGC) over the whole compositional range (2 to 98 at.% Cu). The composition influences greatly the formation of various nanostructures, such as core-shells. A wide range of techniques were used to characterize the catalysts: high-resolution TEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as high-e
Shunting yards are one of the main areas impacting the reliability of rail freight networks, and delayed departures from shunting yards can further also affect the punctuality of mixed-traffic networks. Methods for automatic detection of departures, which are likely to be delayed, can therefore contribute towards increasing the reliability and punctuality of both freight and passenger services. In
BACKGROUND: An adequate amount of prepaid resources for health is important to ensure access to health services and for the pursuit of universal health coverage. Previous studies on global health financing have described the relationship between economic development and health financing. In this study, we further explore global health financing trends and examine how the sources of funds used, typ
Purpose: To compare management and outcomes for critically ill women and men with sepsis in the emergency medical services (EMS), the emergency department (ED) and the ICU. Methods: We used two prospectively compiled Swedish national quality registers, the National Quality Sepsis Registry and the Swedish Intensive Care Registry to identify a nationwide cohort of 2720 adults admitted to an ICU with
