The conference intended to make visible research on groups in social systems carried out in Sweden and neighboring countries. The rapid changes characterizing organizations and societies at the verge of the 21st millennium taking into account the continuous dislocation of the context of groups and group research was emphasized. An important issue was the exploration of whether established theories
The need to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel based power production creates the need for new power plant solutions where the CO2 is captured and stored or reused. Different concepts to capture CO2 fall into the three main categories: 1. Precombustion decarbonization 2. Oxy-fuel combustion 3. Post-combustion removal of carbon. In the first two types of processes Oxygen Transport Membrane (OTM)
Board evaluations can contribute to effective boards and improved corporate financial performance. The increasing interest in the practice of board evaluations, however, calls for a more systematic and careful approach than has been employed in the past. While most attention has primarily been focused on the content of board evaluations, this article outlines the features of various possible board
Christopher Polhem (1661-1751), called the father of Swedish mechanics, is the most famous figure in Swedish history of technology and our nation's foremost inventor ever. Remarkably enough, a close survey in a monograph has never been written on this inventor who in many ways initiated the technical and industrial development of Sweden. In this project will Polhem for the first time get a broad a
This book seeks to explore historical changes in the lifeworld of the Mi'kmaq Indians of Eastern Canada. The Mi'kmaq culture hero Kluskap serves as a key persona in discussing issues such as traditions, changing conceptions of land, and human-environmental relations. In order not to depict Mi'kmaq culture as timeless, two important periods in its history are examined. Within the first period, betw
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vårt immunförsvar har utvecklats genom evolutionen för att kunna motstå infektioner från diverse mikrober (parasiter, bakterier, virus). Kroppen svarar då med en inflammationsrespons för att kunna bekämpa infektionen. Immunsvaret kan delas upp i det icke specifika immunsvaret, bestående av bl.a. fagocyterande celler samt det specifika immunsvaret, bestående av sk T och The CD4+ T cells have an important role in inflammation. Based on the local cytokine milieu, these cells can differentiate into either a Th1 population promoting cellular immunity or Th2 population involved in humoral immunity. Th2 cells produce the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10, which might have a protective role in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple scle
When low calorific value gases are fired, the performance and stability of gas turbines may deteriorate due to a large amount of inert ballast and changes in working fluid properties. Since it is rather rare to have custom-built gas turbines for low Lower Heating Value (LHV) operation, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. This, in turn, poses limitations to usable fuel
This paper has evaluated the overhead requirements for IOTA pulse shaping filters employed in faster-than-Nyquist multicarrier systems. Faster-than-Nyquist signaling has shown the promise of improving bandwidth efficiency, but comes at the cost of increased processing complexity in the transceiver. The IOTA filter being one of the blocks contributing for the processing overhead, different architec
An algorithm based on embedding phase space signal was developed by the authors in previous works. The algorithm detects the characteristic points of the waves of a multilead electroacardiogram (ECG). In the present work, the parameters of this algorithm are optimized to improve its performance. The algorithm uses 2 configurable parameters to obtain the phase spacethe dimension of the phase space
RFID (radio frequency identification) technology is developing at a rapid pace. During the last few years, it has been widely discussed in logistics research, as well as in other scientific fields which also approach and contribute to the development of RFID technology. In both logistics and related fields there are findings regarding RFID technology which influence logistics. However, an overall
The existing research has produced a useful palette of ideas that help us make sense of the phenomenon of organizational control. But there is a trend that hampers the interpretative possibilities: a heavy bias towards vertical forms of control. It is frequently assumed that the control that operates in organizations has its origin in the actions of managers. This assumption is especially problema
In the present work surface thermometry using a method based on the spectroscopy of inorganic luminescent material has been applied in a full-size aircraft jet engine. The technique utilizes laser-induced emission from thermographic phosphors for, non-intrusive, remote temperature diagnostics in combustion applications with high sensitivity and accuracy. In the present application the laser-induce
Urinary incontinence is a considerable problem which is clearly reflected in the number of patients affected by it. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to obtain an accurate diagnosis as the urinary incontinence very often is related to the neurological system. In this article a model with capabilities for urological diagnosing is proposed. This model is specialized towards the diagnosis of urolog
Amplification of innate immune responses by endogenous danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) promotes inflammation. The involvement of S100A8 and S100A9, DAMPs belonging to the S100 calgranulin family, in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease is attracting an increasing amount of interest. S100A8 and S100A9 (also termed MRP8 and MRP14) preferentially form the S100A8/A9 heterodimer (MRP
