Bytecode folding is an effective technique for speeding up execution in Java virtual machines. This paper investigates a hardware implementation of the aforementioned technique on BlueJEP, a Java embedded processor. Since BlueJEP is a micro-programmed stack machine, we adopt a micro-instruction oriented approach, folding up to four microinstructions (corresponding to up to four bytecodes, on occas
Abstract in UndeterminedThe Base of the Pyramid (BoP) consists of about two-fifths of the world population. This population can be categorized as poor with income of less than 2 dollars per day. It is important to alleviate poverty. One of the promising approaches to tackle the wicked problem of poverty is business development combined with poverty alleviation. In this approach, integrated solutio
The article uses conceptual metaphor theory in order to analyse how the concept of “copy” in copyright law is expanding in a digital society to cover more phenomena than it originally did. For this purpose, the legally accepted model for valuing media files in the case against The Pirate Bay (TPB) is used in the analysis. When four men behind TPB was convicted in District Court of Stockholm, Swede
For the sense of well-being and human health, a pleasant indoor environment is essential. Today, people spend about 90 % of their time indoors, meaning that they can be significantly affected by the buildings in which they spend most of their time. Older people are bound to spend more time indoors and also as they belong to the most sensitive age group, their indoor environments as elderly homes m
Efter att ha sett allt fler ladugårdar som förfaller bestämde jag mig för att göra ett arbete om just denna byggnad. Jag ville undersöka vad ladugården är och hur det kan vara möjligt att bevara och ta hand om den. Genom att skaffa kunskap om ladugårdens historia ville jag få en fördjupad insikt om vad dessa byggnader egentligen har för betydelse. Med hjälp av referensprojekt och genom att gestalAfter seeing more and more barns decaying, I decided to make a project about this particular building. I wanted to investigate what the barn is and how it may be possible to preserve and take care of it in the future. By gaining knowledge about the barn’s history, I got a in - depth insight into what these buildings really mean. By looking at reference projects and by transforming a existing barn,
Sweden has a significant rental sector with about a third of the total number of households rented out. The intention of the rental market should be that it is accessible to all people in society, regardless of nationality or income. The general mediation of rental apartments today is through a queuing system, which in Stockholm shows that a queuing time can be up to half one's life. The alter
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alltsedan expansionen av den högre utbildningen tog fart i Sverige, i slutet av 60-talet, har universitet och högskolor arbetat för att utveckla utbildningskvaliteten. Detta har bland annat gjorts genom satsningar på policys som reglerar exempelvis arbete med kursvärderingar, mångfald, och kurs- och utbildningsplaner. Satsningar har också gjorts på pedagogisk utbildningThe focus in this thesis is to explore theoretical perspectives and strategies for academic development, particularly in a research-intensive university. The purpose is to investigate academic development that aims to support and influence individual academic teachers and groups of teachers, in the different social collegial contexts that they work in, here called microcultures. Building on litera
People spend more and more of their awaken time indoors, resulting in no or little exposure to sunlight during the day. Natural daylight is superior to artificial light concerning our biological and psychological health, and it is one of the most important external signals to the circadian system, the “wake and sleep”-clock. The objective of this thesis was to develop a luminaire which spreads sun
Concrete is a building material that is normally cast according recipes, where a larger proportion of cement in the mixture results in a faster strength development and increased ultimate strength. The compressive strength, which can be considered as the most important property of concrete, is usually measured by a standardized procedure, where a test specimen is subjected to a progressively incre
The industrial food production system have given rise to tens of thousands of local, national and international social movements concerned with food and agriculture, reacting to the perceived social and environmental failures of the industrial food system. One of the directions inside these movements is the internationally based “local food” movement. The ”local food” movement promotes small-scal
Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer the potential to sustainably address environmental problems in an urban context, with environmental, social, and economic benefits. As a relatively new concept, NBS is poorly defined in the literature and there is great need for more empirical information about implementation and impacts. This case study of the city of Malmö, Sweden, attempts to understand the st
Since the Chinese economy’s reform in 1980, it has been attracting enormous foreign investments. Many Swedish firms from different sectors such as technology, manufactory production, consumer, service industries and so on, had started their investments in China. China has become the first choice for global manufacturing due to the huge market, continuous economic growth, stable political situation
The European Open Science Cloud is a pan-European initiative that aims at developing a federated infrastructure that supports scientific research and Open Science. Having the FAIR principles at the core of Open Science practices, the Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRIs) that operate in Europe collaborate at cluster level (the ENVRI cluster) continuously improving the FAIRness of their s
Syftet med forskningen som presenteras i denna avhandling är att vidareutveckla tillgänglighetsområdet i riktning mot en större perspektivrikedom. Avhandlingen baseras på kulturhistorisk aktivitetsteori (CHAT). Den analyserar en systemisk helhet utifrån sådana mänskliga, artefaktuella och naturliga faktorer som påverkar en individs handlingsmöjligheter i konkreta situationer.Avhandlingen har två h
BackgroundEven when palliative care is an integrated part of the healthcare system, the quality is still substandard for many patients and often initiated too late. There is a lack of structured guidelines for identifying and caring for patients; in particular for those with early palliative care needs. A care guide can act as a compass for best practice and support the care of patients throughout
Objectives: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) libraries have limited capabilities for identification of Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus-complex (SBSEC) subspecies. The objective was to develop and validate novel MALDI-TOF MS libraries adapted to diagnostic culturing and sampling conditions for improved identification of SBSEC subs
