The question ‘What is Vulnerability’ is hard to answer. This thesis deals with this question by investigating narratives of vulnerability amongst staff members at DIGNITY – Danish Institute Against Torture. Drawing on the thoughts, theories and epistemology of understanding vulnerability by Erinn C. Gilson and Judith Butler, this thesis seeks to uncover how vulnerability is narrated amongst staff
The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. However, around 2,000 MWh is wasted annually due to unavailability of any storage system. This work studies in detail four different solutions to utilize t
Risks include the factors that might adversely affect project outcomes. Risk analysis includes the processes concerned with identifying, analyzing and developing security strategy and plans for the factors. Although currently there are known methodologies such as (CCTA Risk Analysis and Management Method (CRAMM) or Consultative, Objective and Bi-functional Risk Analysis(COBRA) and so on) for Risk

Air pollution is a serious problem today, both from an environmental and from a health point of view. Especially in cities, particles smaller than 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) can reach high concentrations. These particles are dangerous, even at low concentrations, since they are small enough to enter the lungs. In order to estimate the concentration of air pollutants, different measureme

Background: Risks that are potentially associated with long-term therapies should be assessed. Objective: The present analyses were performed to determine the risk of malignancy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) receiving subcutaneous (sc) interferon (IFN) beta-1a, using pooled safety data from key clinical trials and data from the Merck Serono Global Drug Safety database. Methods: The stan
Probabilistic building performance simulations enables a method for evaluating how the data quality used to create input models affects the accuracy of the predicted energy performance. The method described in this paper explores an uncertainty analysis of a fixed building design and system by including the discrepancy between the declared property of a product, material, or behaviour quantified u
In archaeology, we face a unique situation where our primary research method is destructive; excavation as a recording method can only be conducted once. But with the introduction of modern 3D recording methods, much of the process of excavation can be saved and reused. But at the same time, we must overcome the difficulties of examining sites where the data recorded has been accumulated over vast
Simulations of carbon fluxes with terrestrial biosphere models still exhibit significant uncertainties, in part due to the uncertainty in model parameter values. With the advent of satellite measurements of solar induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), there exists a novel pathway for constraining simulated carbon fluxes and parameter values. We investigate the utility of SIF in constraining gross
Connectivity between and within places is one of the cornerstones of geography. However, the data and methodologies used to capture connectivity are limited due to the difficulty in gathering and analysing detailed observations in time and space. Mobile phone data potentially offer a rich and unprecedented source of data, which is exhaustive in time and space following movements and communication
This study explores how different types of information can support fire service operations during fire incidents through the concept of Smart Firefighting. Semi-structured interviews with 47 incident commanders across three countries have been applied to examine how different types of information (pre-planned, real-time, and predictive) affect decision-making. The findings strongly indicate that rThis study explores how different types of information can support fire service operations during fire incidents through the concept of Smart Firefighting.

Summary: Existing approaches to modelling antibody concentration data are mostly based on finite mixture models that rely on the assumption that individuals can be divided into 2 distinct groups: seronegative and seropositive. Here, we challenge this dichotomous modelling assumption and propose a latent variable modelling framework in which the immune status of each individual is represented along
Would slightly better performance be significantly more valuable from a market perspective? Would significantly better performance be just slightly more expensive to implement? When dealing with quality requirements, we often end up in a difficult trade-off analysis. Aspects such as release targets, end-user experience, and business opportunities must be taken into consideration. But when is the q
A new approach to feedback control design based on optimal control is proposed. Instead of expensive computations of the value function for different penalties on the states and inputs, we use a control Lyapunov function that amounts to be a value function of the optimal control problem with suitable cost design and then study combinations of input and state penalty that are compatible with this v
In the past 30 years, the Chinese government has promoted ownership reform and corporate governance reform to improve the performance of SOEs. Simultaneously, China has come to the era of MOEs. There has been growing empirical studies that consider the effects of corporate governance and state ownership on MOEs’ performance. This study utilized a panel vector autoregression approach to analyze the
The genetic regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) plays a vital role in the development and function of the immune and circulatory systems. Genetic variants can lead to significant differences in HSPC-related phenotypes, and pathogenic variants can cause blood disorders and other maladies. Discovering these variants and understanding the mechanisms by which they affect an i
