This doctoral thesis is comprised of five parts which deal with different signal processing problems in ECG-based characterization of atrial arrhythmias. Such characterization requires that the ventricular activity has first been cancelled in the ECG. In Part I, a new method for cancellation of the QRST complexes in recordings with atrial fibrillation is presented. The method is based on a spatiot
Abstract Author: Moa Nordberg Title: Arbete är vägen till frihet – en studie om Arbetsförmedlares syn på sitt nya integrationsuppdrag Supervisor: Carina Tigervall Examiner: Staffan Blomberg The integration work in Sweden has during the last years undergone a reformation process and in December 2010 a new law came into forces. With the new law the government 2006-2010 aims to reform the integrati
EUs anslutning till Europakonventionen har varit föremål för diskussion ända sedan slutet av 1970-talet. På grund av bristande rättslig grund i fördragen, har anslutning dock inte varit möjligt förrän ikraftträdandet av Lissabonfördraget år 2009. Artikel 6(2) FEU föreskriver nu en skyldighet för EU att ansluta sig till konventionen under förutsättning att avtalet om Unionens anslutning avspeglar nAccession of the EU to the ECHR has been subject to discussion since the late 1970s. Due to a lack of legal basis in the treaties, accession has not been possible until the entering into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009. Article 6(2) TEU now stipulates an obligation for the Union to accede to the Convention under the condition that the agreement relating to the accession makes provisions for
Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale

The Swedish regions struggle with resource utilization issues that threaten the ability to provide timely and efficient healthcare to the citizens. This study aims to investigate and map the current production, planning, and scheduling processes within the Swedish healthcare, as well as develop a digital solution. This is done through a user-centered design process, with the goal of designing a d
Memory impairment and prominent hippocampal atrophy are the most recognisable features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It has been known that hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures support memory processes. However, specific function of each MTL subfield remains to be elucidated. Not all MTL subfields are uniformly affected by AD pathology and the spread of AD pathology fol
Uppsatsen är en fallstudie över den svenska implementeringen av PSI-direktivet.4 Direktivet skulle enligt artikel 12 direktivet vara genomförd i svensk rätt senast den 1 juli 2005. Fullständigt genomförande förelåg emellertid inte förrän 1 juli 2010. Fem år efter det att direktivet skulle vara genomfört. Sverige en fördragsenlig skyldighet att implementera direktiv på ett fullgott sätt, korrekt ocIn this case study the subject matter is the Swedish transpositions process of the Directive 2003/98/EC of European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the re-use of public sector information (PSI-directive or Directive).1 Considering final date for transposition set out in the PSI-directive the Swedish implementation exceeded five years. Why was that? What could be the reasons be
Den process där nya länder går med Europeiska unionen (EU) kallas utvidgning. Det har haft en central roll i unionens utveckling. Sedan grundandet har EU vuxit från sex till tjugosju medlemsländer, under totalt sju utvidgningsomgångar. För närvarande är fem länder kandidater för medlemskap: Montenegro, Serbien, Albanien, Nordmakedonien och Turkiet. Kosovo och Bosnien och Hercegovina är potentiellaEnlargement, the process whereby countries join the European Union (EU), has had a key role in the Union’s development. Since its founding, the EU has grown from six to twenty-seven Member States, in a total of seven enlargement rounds. Currently, five countries are candidates for membership: Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia and Turkey. Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina are recognised
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been applied for several years in the removal process pollutants from secondary treatment plants and stormwater. In this paper, the Variable Residence Time (VART) model for solute transport in streams was extended to simulate the BOD removal process in free water surface flow constructed wetlands (FWS CWs). The double layer concept of the basic VART model was extend
På uppdrag från Trafikverket har en utredning om PAH-detektering inom vägteknik genomförts för att kunna ge förslag på hur de bör utforma ett kommande undersökningsprogram. Polycykliska aromatiska kolväten, PAH, är en grupp organiska föreningar som är en del av vägtjära. Vägtjära användes som bindemedel i asfaltsbeläggningar i Sverige under nästan 50 år, fram tills 1973. Flera PAH har visat sig vAn investigation regarding PAH detection in road pavements has been put together as an assignment from Trafikverket. The purpose of this investigation is to put forward suggestions about how they should shape their upcoming research program. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, PAH, is an organic chemical compound which is found in road tar. Road tar was used as a bonding agent in asphalt pavements i
Over the past 150 years, industrialization, globalization and population growth have altered the planet and its natural conditions at a rapid pace. In this new era, the Anthropocene, environmental degradation has come to a state where sustainable ecosystem management has developed into an urgent quest for humans to maintain their own life-support system. The ecosystem services (ES) concept, initia
Context Background Globalisation, increasing product complexity, volatile demand, and financial crisis all put strains on the supply, processing, and distribution of goods. That’s why supply chain management has become the area to focus on to gain competitive advantages and reduce costs. Saint-Gobain Sekurit Scandinavia (SGSS) is part of a large global French enterprise, Saint-Gobain that’s a worl
För att en användare ska ha rätt att utnyttja ett upphovsrättskyddat verk krävs tillstånd från upphovsmannen. Inom vissa verksamheter utnyttjas stora mängder av upphovsrättskyddade verk som behöver klareras. Det kan vara tidskrävande och dyrt att införskaffa individuella tillstånd för dessa. De nordiska länderna har löst detta problem genom att införa ett avtalslicenssystem. Avtalslicensen är ett In order for a user to exploit a copyright protected work, permission needs to be obtained from the author. In certain fields, large amounts of copyright protected work are exploited. To acquire individual permits is both time consuming and expensive. The Nordic countries have solved this problem by introducing a system of extended collective licenses (ECL). An ECL is an agreement between an organ
As a major step to development, countries try to implement e-government and encouraging the public to use e-services instead of traditional ways. It is obvious that adoption of e-government has increased in many countries over the world, but the rate of adoption varies from country to country, and also the factors which are affecting the adoption of e-government differ from developing countries to
Delivery of goods at the port of discharge is an obligation incurred upon the carrier under a contract of carriage by sea. The extent of the carrier’s obligation is to give the consignee a reasonable time to take proper delivery of the goods against presentation of an original B/L. Delivery of goods is currently not regulated in any international laws on carriage of goods by sea, it is only regula
The issue of security is still an aspect of concern for domestic and international politics. In Southeast Asia, in 2003, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to establish three pillars for the future single community by 2015: the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). To live at peace with o
Populärvetenskaplig sammanftaaning: För 65 miljoner år sedan slog en extraterrestrisk kropp ner på Yucatán-halvön i södra Mexico. Nedslaget orsakade ett av de största massutdöendena i historien, då bland annat dinosaurierna dog ut. Nedslaget kan ha varit en följd av ett tillfälligt ökat asteroidflöde i inre solsystemet som orsakats av att en jätteasteroid i asteroidbältet mellan Mars och Jupiter bAn impact crater is the result of a collision between a large and a smaller body. On Earth most of the cratering record has been erased because of tectonic processes and weathering. The Moon, however, displays a nearly complete record of impact events over the last 2 Gyr, and evidence of impact cratering events nearly 4 billion years old. The same family of impactors is responsible for the formati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvecklingen av laserpulser med extremt hög intensitet har försett forskare med ett verktyg som gör det möjligt att studera vad som händer då dessa pulser växelverkar med olika slags materia. Då växelverkan sker med en gas kan till exempel ultrakorta pulser från ultraviolett till röntgenområdet genereras som övertoner till laserpulsen. Dessa övertoner kan göras kortare The availability of short-pulse, high-intensity lasers has opened doors to new areas in atomic and plasma physics. The short pulses (a few femtoseconds), that are available today, enable unprecedented temporal measurements, while the high peak power accessible (several terawatts) allows physicists to study the interaction between light and relativistic plasmas. The aim of this work was twofold: i)
