Non-smooth convex optimization problems occur in all fields of engineering. A common approach to solving this class of problems is proximal algorithms, or splitting methods. These first-order optimization algorithms are often simple, well suited to solve large-scale problems and have a low computational cost per iteration. Essentially, they encode the solution to an optimization problem as a fixe

Objectives: Constant infusion lumbar infusion test (LIT) is an important way to find which patients, of those with signs and symptoms corresponding to normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) who will improve from shunt operation. LIT is a stress test on the ability for cerebrospinal fluid re-absorbtion. The aim of this study is to show how the information from LIT can be improved by quantitative analy

Exoplanet interior modelling usually makes the assumption that the elemental abundances of a planet are identical to those of its host star. Host stellar abundances are good proxies of planetary abundances, but only for refractory elements. This is particularly true for terrestrial planets, as evidenced by the relative differences in bulk chemical composition between the Sun and the Earth and othe

We present a model for the concurrent formation of globular clusters (GCs) and supermassive stars (SMSs, ≳103M⊙) to address the origin of the HeCNONaMgAl abundance anomalies in GCs. GCs form in converging gas flows and accumulate low-angular momentum gas, which accretes on to protostars. This leads to an adiabatic contraction of the cluster and an increase of the stellar collision rate. A SMS can

Over the last two decades, several large terror attacks have led to increased discussion of the use of different surveillance technologies. The use of novel technologies for pre-emptive security and surveillance has been discussed and criticized academically, but few studies have addressed the public. Studies that target the public tend to assume an oversimplified trade-off between privacy and sec

The intensification of agricultural practices throughout the twentieth century has had large detrimental effects on biodiversity and these are likely to increase as the human population rises, with consequent pressure on land. To offset these negative impacts, agri-environment schemes have been widely implemented, offering financial incentives for land-owners to create or maintain favourable habit

Excessive generosity with information about one's private life or the private lives of others, known as ”oversharing”, appears to be an oft-noted phenomenon in the context of ”new” media. I have previously studied this phenomenon in connection with mobile phone conversations in public places. After having eavesdropped on, or maybe rather overheard, such conversations more systematically, I offered

Enligt svensk rätt är äktenskapet en monogam förbindelse. Att vara gift med flera personer är inte tillåtet. I andra delar av världen är månggifte däremot tillåtet. Till följd av internationella privaträttsliga regler kan utländska månggiften erkännas och betraktas giltiga i Sverige i vissa sammanhang. Hur den svenska äktenskapsrättens regler ska anpassas efter dessa förhållanden är oklart. På 1Under Swedish law, marriages are monogamous. A person who is already married is not permitted to enter into another marriage. However, polygamous marriages are legal in many other countries. As a consequence of Swedish international private law, there are foreign polygamous marriages in Sweden that are legally recognized in some contexts. It is unclear how Swedish family law should be applied to t

The purpose of this study is to examine how debate articles in Swedish newspapers manufacture the consequences of legalizing cannabis, in two different time periods, 2005 to 2010 and 2015 to 2020. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of 59 debate articles from five different Swedish newspapers. 26 debate articles represented the first period and 33 debate articles represented the l

In the light of lean methodology, World Class Manufacturing requires continuous improvement in analyzing the losses to eliminate the wasteful resources and to boost the overall productivity. However, the standardized loss structure should be well-balanced to be general enough to cover the whole manufacturing procedure while being specific enough to point out the real issues happening for further i

A great number of empirical researches show that hedging is associated with higher firm value, particularly hedging interest rate and exchange rate. However, there is no clear support for value-added risk management hypothesis in the case of producers of commodities. Moreover, according to Shrand and Unal (1997), there are two types of risks, core business risks (or core risk) and homogeneous risk

In this book, it is explained that despite a current drop in the number of deaths, terrorism should still be considered a serious and widespread problem. However, the responses to this phenomenon are often more problematic from a long-term perspective. With the human rights framework under serious pressure, this edited volume offers a timely, important and critical in-depth analysis of human digni

Winter is a critical bottleneck period for many insects and is particularly pivotal for pest species, being a major regulator of their populations. In winter, insect fruit pests such as the invasive fly, Drosophila suzukii, not only have to cope with harsh environmental conditions but also need to find alternative resources when cultivated fruit are scarce. This study aimed to disentangle the rela

The law that banned doping substances in Sweden was founded in 1991 and was strengthened in 1999 and 2011. The use of anabolic androgen steroids (AAS) however, is still increasing. Research about AAS is limited and the approximation of the number of AAS users is uncertain. On the gyms there are warnings about punishments risked if one is caught using AAS. But those warnings are without any informa

Background: With todays’ requirement of shorter product life cycles and faster time-to-market, producing companies experience an increased demand for faster transports in the supply chain. This puts pressure on freight forwarders to offer their customers a timely and reliable transport service at a reasonable price. Another challenge for the freight forwarders in Sweden is to provide such services

Background: Survivors of cardiac arrest often face multifaceted challenges—cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential—that extend beyond clinical recovery. Despite these long-term consequences, follow-up care is often insufficient, and access to reliable information and support remains limited. Broader initiatives to address post–cardiac arrest care are still lacking.
