Contrary to what often is implied I believe that autonomous action does not have to be morally or rationally justifiable or performed from volitions that are conscious to the agent. If we are to analyze personal autonomy it follows from the above that we need a supplementary concept to include actions that are based on unconscious or preconscious desires as well as non-moral values as possible con
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, fMRI, is a non invasive method to map brain activation with a magnetic resonance camera. In this thesis we propose a method to deal with motion induced artefacts in functional fMRI, using Independent Component Analysis, ICA. Patient movement can induce false activation or cause loss of true activation. Movement is one of the most common causes of fMRI failure
A new method to extract mass density and elemental compositions of tissues from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scans is described and investigated. The method decomposes a tissue into proportions of two or three predened base materials and was proposed in 2008 by a research team at Linkoping University. Informations of tissue parameters may be important in radiation treatment planning to c
This essay examines the impact of postal voting on Finnish expatriates living in Sweden, focusing on their perspectives on the reform as a method to increase voter turnout. The Finnish societal structure is deeply grounded in democracy and human rights. However, voter turnout among Finns, especially those living abroad, remains low despite their rights to participate in their homeland's politi
Background Tetra Pak manufactures and distributes so called VTIS facilities for sterilization and pasteurization of for example milk and ice-cream. These VTIS facilities uses a common sterilization process called ultra high temperature (UHT) treatment. UHT treatment involves heating the product to 130-150ºC for one to six seconds depending on type of product. In the VTIS facility the temperature r
On April 16th, 2026, the new legislative Government bill 2025/25:246 regarding stricter rules for young offenders was presented. The bill proposes a partial lowering of the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for severe crimes, and the introduction of youth imprisonment for the 13–14 age group. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the arguments behind the proposal and compare them with prev
This thesis analyses if investors price a country’s environmental (E) performance into sovereign bond yields. The sample consists of 17 emerging countries from 2011 to 2020. Environmental performance is measured by aggregating 12 metrics from World Bank’s Environmental, Social & Governance database to a single index using principal component analysis. The panel data model combines the E index
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det mesta av det genetiska materialet i en eukaryot cell finns samlat till kärnan och är organiserat i kromosomer. Varje gång en cell delas kopieras kromosomerna så att de båda resulterande cellerna får ett bibehållet kromosomantal. Den mekanism som styr denna replikeringsprocess förmår dock inte kopiera de yttersta kromosomändarna, vilket resulterar i att dessa blir koTelomeres are specialized complexes of DNA and proteins that cap and confer stability to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeric DNA of most eukaryotes is composed of tandemly arranged short repeats. Within the budding yeasts these repeats are diverged in length as well as in nucleotide composition. However, they contain a sequence resembling the consensus binding sequence of the major t
Tid och envishet är viktiga faktorer för att lyckas med innovation. Om detta och andra faktorer står att läsa i denna bok. Boken är född ur ett inspirerande, lärorikt år inom ramen för forskningsprogrammet PIEp: Product Innovation Engineering program. Ett år då vi forskare mött nya människor, nya företag, fått nya insikter, men också en bekräftelse på att svenskt näringsliv tycks göra allt för att
Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningen som presenteras i denna avhandling fokuserar på tillverkning av små strukturella enheter (komponenter) samt tillämpning av ny teknologi för att adressera viktiga medicinska forskningsfrågeställningar. Framtagande av teknologi som använder sig av komponenter som är tusentals gånger mindre än bredden på ett hår är svårt men möjligt. Denna avhandling fokuserar This thesis focuses on the study of thin-film sensor technologies, novel microfabrication technologies, and thin-film technology in general. The work discusses electrochemical sensors and mechanical sensor technologies as well as fabrication strategies for them. Also included are mechano-chemical studies of the vancomycin DAla (Bacteria membrane analogue motif ) binding reaction in different chemica

Electroactive microorganisms possess the unique ability to transfer electrons to or from a solid phase electron conductor, e.g., electrodes or minerals, through various physiological mechanisms. The processes are commonly known as extracellular electron transfer and broadly harnessed in microbial electrochemical systems, such as microbial electrosynthesis or microbial fuel cells.

Risk analysis is important for safety-critical IT systems and services, both in public and private organizations. However, the actual practices and the challenges of risk analysis in these contexts have not been fully explored. This paper investigates the current practices of risk analysis by an interview-based investigation. This study investigates several factors of the risk analysis process, e.

Abstract In this contribution, party autonomy is discussed in relation toEuropean family and succession law. The topic is briefly introduced, followedby a survey covering the main EU-instruments with particular emphasis onthe parties’ possibility to influence choice of court and law by agreements.Thus, autonomy as described in this contribution embraces both prorogationand choice of law.

Across languages, the species–typical vocalization by domes-tic cats (Felis catus silvestris) is transcribed similarly, typicallycorresponding to [miau:] or [waU:]. Such consistent and ubiqui-tous cross-linguistic transcription is apparently onomatopoetic.However, in humans, these qualities make unique use of thetongue; in comparison, most nonhuman mammals do not ap-pear to employ their tongues wh
