Förekomsten av musik på Internet och tekniken för spridning och överföring av filer har varit föremål för en omfattande diskussion i ett antal år. Den digitala tekniken har fört med sig tidigare oanade möjligheter för kopiering och spridning av upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk via Internet. Enligt Statistiska centralbyråns undersökning för 2006 har tjugo procent av alla i åldern 16-74 år i Sverige,
This thesis focuses on flexible work, known as telework, that is done through the use of information communication technology (ICT) devices in the entertainment, new media and arts sector. Fieldwork was conducted with independent professionals who work either as a producer / director, editor or motion graphic artist for the entertainment, new media and arts sector in the Los Angeles area. When wo
Functional MRI (fMRI) using the blood-oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal provides valuable insight into grey matter activity. However, uncertainty surrounds the white matter BOLD signal. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) offers an alternative fMRI contrast sensitive to transient cellular deformations during neural activity, facilitating detection of both grey and white matter activity. Furthe
Bivalves are considered mainly filter-feeding organisms; they remove suspended particles including phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacteria from the water column. Moreover, some bivalves can also feed via pedal-feeding, which is the uptake of organic matter from the sediment using cilia on the foot. Diplodon parallelopipedon is a native bivalve from South America, which can obtain their foo
Context: Land-use intensification to increase yields is often detrimental to biodiversity undermining the provision of ecosystem services. However, it is questionable if ecosystem service providers contribute to ecological intensification by achieving the same or higher yields than conventional high-intensity agriculture. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to disentangle the effects of local and
Dizziness and vertigo affect up to 20% of adults annually. Cervicogenic dizziness (CGD), a debated clinical entity, is characterized by dizziness associated with cervical pain or dysfunction, stemming from altered proprioceptive input from the cervical spine. Despite its recognition in clinical practice, CGD remains controversial due to its reliance on exclusionary diagnosis and the absence of spe

After a brief outlook on the field of concatenative synthesis of singing, with emphasis on the differences in comparison to synthesis of speech, the present paper gives an overview of a simple system for singing synthesis in Swedish based on concatenation of diphones. The system, called Burcas, accepts as input a text file for lyrics, from which it extracts a target phoneme sequence using basic le
The hitchhiker’s guide to satellite dependencies For the last half century, humanity has gained access to better weather reports, live coverage of the Olympics, and a handheld map of the globe, all thanks to satellites in space. But what happens if these satellites fail? That question has been asked, but never answered in full. This thesis has aimed to assists researchers in answering that questiVital societal functions and critical infrastructure rely to an increasing extent on services from space, such as navigation and positioning systems, timekeeping, and communications. However, understanding of space service dependencies is low among practitioners and society at large, with research on societal space dependency being limited as well. In order to avoid cascading effects from disrupti
Lorcaserin, which is a selective agonist of serotonin2C receptors (5-HT2CRs), is a new FDA-approved anti-obesity drug that has also shown therapeutic promise in other brain disorders, such as addiction and epilepsy. The modulation of dopaminergic function might be critical in the therapeutic effect of lorcaserin, but its exact effect is unknown. Here, we studied the effect of the peripheral admini
This study examines cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in adult Italian-German bilinguals based on the production of gemination, a phenomenon that exists in Italian but not in German. We analyzed the spontaneous Italian speech of two groups of Italian-German bilinguals (heritage speakers of Italian and Italian-dominant bilinguals) and a monolingual Italian control group. The results show that the ge
Lifetimes of some low-lying quartet levels in sulphur, chlorine and iron have been measured using the beam-foil technique. In general, the lifetimes obtained by curve fitting are in agreement with theory. However, the lifetime results for 3s3p(3P)3d 4P04D0 are somewhat higher than predicted, possibly due to the neglection of some of the cascades in the data analysis
Around two thirds of all refugees are stuck in their refugee situations for a long time, and many refugees are confined to isolated camps and provided the bare minimum in kind. This article examines the effects of a pilot cash-based transfer (CBT) program in Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, one such place of protracted displacement. The article shows that CBT is promising for many reasons; however, it also
Finns det någon poäng med att övertyga gästerna om varumärkets storhet om inte de anställda är med på tåget? Det har påpekats att utan motiverade och nöjda anställda riskerar varumärkets och ledningens löften till gästerna att bli tomma, då det är personalen som ska leverera den utlovade servicen. Vi anser det intressant att undersöka hur företag inom hotellbranschen arbetar med att motivera sin p
Introduction Using body mass index (BMI) as a proxy, previous Mendelian randomization (MR) studies found total causal effects of general obesity on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Hitherto, total and direct causal effects of general- and central obesity on PCOS have not been comprehensively analyzed. Objectives To investigate the causality of central- and general obesity on PCOS using surrogat
Purpose This study investigates the drivers and barriers to digitalisation in viticulture, focusing on the Italian wine sector. Although digital transformation is widely recognised as necessary for its potential to bring significant improvements to this industry, the determinants and barriers to this process are still unappreciated by research in the field.
