Traditionally, automatic control techniques arose due to need for automation in mechanical systems. These techniques rely on robust mathematical modelling of physical systems with the goal to drive their behaviour to desired set-points. Decades of research have successfully automated, optimized, and ensured safety of a wide variety of mechanical systems. Recent advancement in digital technology ha

Background: Pathological aggregation of tar DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in the brain is the primary cause of many cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). It is therefore imperative to establish empirical staging systems to characterize and distinguish stereotypical patterns and commo

Scholars of widely diverging persuasions have recognized the implications of the world constellation in which the discourse on foreign intervention with all its manifestations in a civil war has an explanatory value. How-ever, a number of long-standing theoretical, methodological and epistemological challenges still resist clearcut solution. This study analyzes the roles of the great powers and th

Context. Recent spectroscopic surveys have begun to explore the Galactic disk system on the basis of large data samples, with spatial distributions sampling regions well outside the solar neighborhood. In this way, they provide valuable information for testing spatial and temporal variations of disk structure kinematics and chemical evolution. Aims. The main purposes of this study are to demonstra

This essay deals with a certain part of the EC directive on liability for defective products called the state-of-the-art defense. The defense protects the manufacturers from liability from damages caused by a defect that could not be foreseen given the technical and scientific knowledge available at the time the product was developed. Most member states have, since the directive saw its light in t

Rättsprincipen obehörig vinst, eller vinstregeln som den också kallas, har jämfört med andra europeiska rättsordningar haft en marginell betydelse i Sverige. Även om principen under en lång period varit föremål för skarp kritik från rättevetenskapligt håll, så har den på senare tid fått förnyad aktualitet då den dykt upp i flertalet rättsfall. I uppsatsen görs därför en översyn av svensk lagstiftnUnjust enrichment has, compared to other European legal systems, played a marginal role in Sweden. The principle of unjust enrichment has for a long time been the subject of pungent criticism in the Swedish jurisprudence. However, its recent comeback in Swedish case law has given the principle renewed importance. This paper examines and analyses Swedish legislation, case law and doctrine in order

Payment Services Directive (PSD) was designed with the objective of constituting a new legal framework in the field of payments in the European Union. The Directive not only introduces several new solutions, but also transforms those already existing – reshaping the legal background to a large extent. It is clearly visible that the area of payments is a vastly complex part of the EU law. One shou

This thesis is divided into two parts (1&2) with different but related scopes, they are both partly a response to Volvo Truck Australia's (VTA) wish to improve their supply chain. In 1998 this wish resulted in a global benchmark, of VTA's total inbound transports, being submitted to 13 global transporting companies. Being one of the responding companies, Volvo Transport delegated the d

Background: Studies have shown that ambient air pollution is linked to preeclampsia (PE), possibly via generation of oxidative stress in the placenta. Telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) are sensitive to oxidative stress damage.Objective: To study the association between prenatal exposure to ambient nitrogen oxides (NOx, a marker for traffic-related air pollution), and PE,

As one of the most important texts of the apostle Paul, Galatians offers a goodstarting-point for an investigation of Paul’s argumentation. The letter is polemical and contains a substantial amount of argumentative passages. Paul evidently wanted to persuade by using the best arguments possible to convince his addressees. Although the argumentation of Paul is often an issue within New Testament ex

Periampullary adenocarcinoma, including pancreatic cancer, has a poor prognosis that has not improved in the last decades. Therefore, in order to find more effective treatment regimens, it is necessary to gain more insight into the biology and clinical behaviour of these tumours. This thesis entails a thorough histopathological characterization of retrospectively collected tumours from a consecuti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stärkelse är en miljövänlig och naturlig produkt som kan framställas ur växtriket.

Action plan for the conservation of Psora vallesiaca Psora vallesiaca is red-listed in Sweden and assigned to the category Critically Endangered (CR). In Sweden it is known from one locality on Öland where it grows in a small population of about 30 individuals. In the spring of 2006, four new localities were discovered on Gotland. The main distribution of Psora vallesiaca streches from the Mediter

The aim of this study is to describe how ”drama in training” is experienced by student nurses and nurse tutors as well as to describe whether the students feel that there is a connection between their participation in drama, their personal development and their own preparation for their future profession. The study´s starting point has been that the students need support with regard to their perso

Sweden is the only Scandinavian country that uses closed treatment institutions based on coercive measures within the child welfare system, on a large scale, for the education and treatment of young criminal offenders and drug users. In Sweden there are in 2002 some 30 “homes for specialized supervision” of varying sizes and degrees of specialization – all run by a national board of institutional

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med föreliggande avhandling vill jag belysa att Chrétien de Troyes Graalsaga, till skilnad från vad de åtskilliga kritiker har påstått, inte bygger på traditionella ridderliga värden, men väl avslöjar en problematisk ideologi. Denna ideologi prövas med hjälp av V. Jouves metod, som beskrivs i hans Poétique des valeurs. Graalsagans värden analyseras ur ett dubbelt perspThis dissertation aims at showing that Chrétien de Troyes' Conte du Graal does not, as often affirmed, uphold traditional chivalrous values, but discloses a problematic ideology, mostly as a result of multiple interactions at the textual level. In order to examine ideology, Le Conte du Graal is analysed in the light of the poetics elaborated by Vincent Jouve in his Poétique des valeurs (2001). Fol

How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing

En följd av den nya lagen (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott har varit att ett flertal myndigheter, i diverse rapporter, riktat kritik mot att det råder brist på rättspraxis avseende straffvärdebedömningar i mål om penningtvättsbrott. Utöver dessa myndighetspublikationer är litteraturen om den straffrättsliga regleringen av penningtvättsbrott knapphändig. Det har därför varit av intresse The novel Act regarding penalties for money laundering offences (2014:307) has been criticized by a number of authorities. This, due to the fact that judicial precedent about penal assessment in cases of money laundering offence is scarce. Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence in the literature concerning the new legislation. Therefore, it has been interesting as a part of my essay to study how

Following the development of new materials and the continuous technical progress made in the construction and energy industries, district heating as a concept finds itself on the brink of a generational shift. One of the pioneering projects leading the way is the creation of Brunnshög, an modern and sustainable district under construction in the north-eastern end of the city of Lund, Sweden. The a
