Artikeln diskuterar en föga uppmärksammad paradox inom etiken: Etiska teorier söker övervinna moralisk oenighet och bristande efterlevnad, men de lever på sitt misslyckande att åstadkomma detta. Om alla skulle handla efter universellt accepterade moraliska principer blev moralen ointressant. Kontraktsetiska teorier kan bidra till att förstå denna aspekt av etiken. Enligt dessa uppstår etiska probl
In market-driven requirements engineering for platform-based development of embedded systems such as mobile phones, it is crucial to market success to find the right balance among competing quality aspects (aka nonfunctional requirements). This paper presents a conceptual model that incorporates quality as a dimension in addition to the cost and value dimensions used in prioritisation approaches f
The need for low-carbon transitions in the industrial sector is increasingly recognised by governments and industry. However, radical pathways for reaching near-zero emissions in the energy intensive basic materials industry are still relatively unexplored. Most studies focus on mitigation options that lead to marginal emission reductions, e.g., energy and materials efficiency improvements and som
This thesis explores the conditions to improve collaborative behaviour between organizations in crisis response management. It takes an explorative approach and begins by identifying several challenges to interorganizational collaboration. A systematic review of the international scientific literature in conjuction with semi-structured interviews with crisis management professionals in civil-milit
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett nytt och experimentellt sätt att bota eller lindra sjukdomssymptom är att, istället för att tillföra en medicin, rätta till felet på en genetisk nivå. Detta kan åstadkommas genom att överföra nya, fungerande gener, sk transgener, till celler som då börjar producera protein, som i sin tur kan ge upphov till en terapeutisk effekt. I hjärnan skulle denna typ av behandlThe use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. In the present thesis I studied the silencing of transgenes induced upon differentiation of neural pro
Speckle is an unwanted noise in ultrasound images, and appears as returning echoes are coherently summed over the transducer surface. In Doppler applications, the total power of the received spectrum varies in a manner similar to speckle. This paper investigates the correlation of continuous-wave (CW) Doppler signals obtained from simultaneously transmitted carrier frequencies, when a slowly flowi
In market-driven product development and release planning, it is important to market success to find the right balance among competing quality requirements. To address this issue, a conceptual model that incorporates quality as a dimension in addition to the cost and value dimensions used in prioritisation approaches for functional requirements has been developed. In this paper, we present an indu
Vocal learning is a critical behavioral substrate for spoken human language. It is a rare trait found in three distantly related groups of birds-songbirds, hummingbirds, and parrots. These avian groups have remarkably similar systems of cerebral vocal nuclei for the control of learned vocalizations that are not found in their more closely related vocal non-learning relatives. These findings led to
Quantitative cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques are gaining wide acceptance within the MR community due to their potential to diagnose non-localized disease, guide therapy and improve patient outcome. During the last decade, there has been an increasing interest for developing new techniques that allow for simultaneous quantification of both T1 and T2 maps of myocardium. Newer st
A search for massive coloured resonances which are pair-produced and decay into two jets is presented. The analysis uses 36.7 fb- 1 of s = 13 TeV pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. No significant deviation from the background prediction is observed. Results are interpreted in a SUSY simplified model where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the top
Melphalan at a dose of 200 mg/m2 is standard conditioning prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple mulholger, but a dose of 140 mg/m2 is often used in clinical practice in patients perceived to be at risk of excess toxicity. To determine whether melphalan 200 mg/m2 and melphalan 140 mg/m2 are equally effective and tolerable in clinically relevant patient subgroups w
