The concept “Broken Technologies” is related to the question: “Which is the benefit of humanity studies?” Of course the question is rhetorical because, how could this question be answered if the benefit was not obvious? Any answer supposes that we understand what we are asking for and the study of “what we mean” is one of the axes of the epistemology of the humanities. Anyway, we can also put the
Fibrotic disorders account for over one third of mortalities worldwide. Despite great efforts to study the cellular and molecular processes underlying fibrosis, there are currently few effective therapies. Dual-stage polymerization reactions are an innovative tool for recreating heterogeneous increases in extracellular matrix (ECM) modulus, a hallmark of fibrotic diseases in vivo. Here, we present
Since the last decade, development efforts by academia and industry for automated driving functions have increased significantly. Also, the European research project AdaptIVe is looking into this topic. Within AdaptIVe, 21 different automated driving functions for different speed ranges and target areas have been developed. They have been developed in three sub projects (SPs), addressing different
In beer, the main amphiphilic components are protein and iso-humulone. Two major populations of protein are identified as lipid transfer protein (LTP) (9.7 kDa) and protein Z (43 kDa). In this paper, protein and iso-humulone are extracted from barley malt and hop, respectively, based on the brewing process. Mixtures of protein and iso-humulone are mixed at different concentrations and centrifuged.
During the last decades, the level of automation has constantly increased in all types of manufacturing processes; discrete, continuous and batch. In addition to already existing automation systems, new and/or updated ones are being introduced at many production sites, e.g., various types of MES-systems. Today, the companies’ challenge is no longer to find the relevant automation/MES system, but r
A floating-point analog-to-digital converter (FP-ADC) with a linear architecture has been implemented using an amplifier network in front of a pipeline ADC. The amplifier network has outputs with binary weighted gains, each sampled separately. The signal with the proper gain is then converted in the ADC. This structure allows instant floating point exponent determination. The mismatches in the amp
Popular Abstract in Swedish I den första avhandlingen på svenska om den finlandssvenske estetikern, filosofen och författaren Hans Ruin (1891–1980) förenas ett intresse för det litterära uttrycket med ett intresse för människan bakom orden. Litteraturen som mänskligt dokument, som spåret efter en människa, och dess funktion som överbringare av erfarenheter och insikter står i centrum för framställThe first dissertation in Swedish of the Finno-Swedish aesthetician, philosopher and writer Hans Ruin (1891–1980) combines an interest in the literary expression with an interest in the man behind the words. Literature as a human document, as the footprint of a human being, and its function as a bearer of experiences and insights is at the heart of the characterisation. The title of this dissertat
This paper is very much inspired by an ongoing process in the Swedish court system. According to Unibet, an online betting company, the Swedish law on lotteries conflicts with EC law. Therefore, Unibet has brought an action against the Swedish state seeking, firstly, a declaration that it has the right, pursuant to Article 49 EC, to promote its gaming and betting services in Sweden and is not prev
Executive Summary Title Business Models for Mobile Internet Authors Andersson Tobias, Talborn Henric, Weikert Magnus Directors Professor Allan T. Malm Ph D Candidate Magnus Wide Purpose How should mobile operators design their business models for mobile Internet in order to be successful? Method The method used in order to reach the purpose is structured in, theory, empirical and analysis around t
Recently the question of agriculture development has been emphasised as an important part of balanced sustainable growth in China. My paper accounts for different growth trajectories and development pace between coastal regions and inland provinces. My interest is more convergence-divergence between agriculture development in different regions than convergence-divergence between rural and urban ar
The thesis explores the migration experiences of Syrian refugees who arrived in Sweden and Denmark by crossing the Mediterranean Sea in small, precarious boats. It aims to illuminate how these refugees managed the risks they faced during their journey to Europe and the meanings they associated with these risks. The research focuses on the socio-cultural and individual contexts within which risk is
Background: 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors 1B, 1D and 1F have key roles in migraine pharmacotherapy. Selective agonists targeting these receptors, such as triptans and ditans, are effective in aborting acute migraine attacks and inhibit the in vivo release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in human and animal models. The study aimed to examine the localization, genetic expression and
The work presented in this thesis can be divided into the three following fields of investigation: First of all the ionization model developed in this thesis is meant to simulate the thermal ionization process or the so-called second peak. Equilibrium assumptions have been adopted for the modeling of the thermal ionization, in which Saha’s equation was derived for singly ionized molecules. The inv
Non-metropolitan regions are considered more exposed to external shocks than their metropolitan counterparts, while having lower capacities to change. However, there is considerable variation among non-metropolitan regions. We argue that this variation can be captured theoretically by modelling the dynamic interplay between perceived and real opportunity spaces and agency. We empirically analyse r
The Bluethroat subspecies Cyanecula svecica svecia occurs throughout the northern Palearctic. European C. s. svecia has been shown to follow a route west of the Himalaya to winter quarters in southern Asia. Out of 30 Bluethroats tagged with geolocators in eastern Siberia, we obtained one track suggesting that it migrated east of the Himalaya to a wintering area located in Myanmar. The different ro
Recently, there has been a significant rise in research and development focused on deep learning (DL) models within healthcare. This trend arises from the availability of extensive medical imaging data and notable advances in graphics processing unit (GPU) computational capabilities. Trained DL models show promise in supporting clinicians with tasks like image segmentation and classification. Howe
