Title: Disability Free Lifetime Expectancy for men and women in Skåne using Sullivan’s Method. Author: Daniel Åström Supervisors: Jan Lanke and Juan Merlo Aim: The aim of the thesis is to investigate if differences in DFLE between genders and between 2000 and 2004 can be detected in Region Skåne Method: Using data from Region Skåne’s Folkhälsoenkät new weights for the data set have been computed a
The main goal of this project was to use the Modelica features on embedded systems, real-time systems and basic mechanical modeling for the control of a two-wheeled self-balancing personal vehicle. The Elektor Wheelie, a Segway-like vehicle, was selected as the process to control. Modelica is an object-oriented language aimed at modeling of complex systems. The work in the thesis used the Modelica

With this thesis we want to prove that by using a single formula for picking stocks, Joel Greenblatt’s ‘’Magic Formula’’, it is possible to achieve returns higher than those achieved by a related index. To prove this, we will construct a portfolio, according to “The Magic Formula”, and backtest the portfolio in the Swedish stock market. The test period will be March 1999 to January 2010 and we wil
Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA) är kritiskt sjuka. Inter-nationella samt nationella studier visar på att många patienter kan efter att ha vårdats på IVA, få psykiska besvär så som ångest, depression och posttraumatisk stress (PTSD). En bidragande faktor för att utveckla dessa besvär har visat sig vara obehagliga och traumatiska minnen. Syftet med studien var att beskriva pat
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. It will allow for many more particle collisions to occur. Some detectors that make up the LHC experiments must be replaced to withstand the harsher conditions. In particular, the inner tracking detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment will be replaced by the new Inner Tracker (ITk). Every co
Due to increasing global energy demands and a need to move away from non-renewable energy sources, green hydrogen is now being considered as a possible replacement for fossil-based energy sources. Especially in “hard-to-abate” sectors, such as steel and petrochemical production, and long-distance transport, where the change to renewable electricity is more difficult. Green hydrogen is produced thr
A lack of somatostatin expressing interneurons (SST INs) is known to be a factor in several neurodegenerative and neurospsychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Being able to efficiently obtain SST INs in vitro could enable a greater understanding and better treatment of these diseases. The development of SST INs is not yet fully understood, but it is
The use of antenna arrays allows for direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation in a radar system. The antenna elements in an array are conventionally positioned equidistantly on a grid, but they can also be placed relatively freely to form sparse antenna arrays. These non-conventional layouts could potentially offer improved DoA capabilities. In this work, a particle swarm optimization algorithm has b
High-Level Synthesis(HLS) is a design methodology that enables designers to implement hardware from high-level coding languages, such as C, C++, or System C. It provides designers with the ability to convey their design at a higher level of abstraction, which allows more emphasis on an algorithm and functional aspects of design instead on low-level hardware details. As precise control of signal ti
This thesis studied the recording methodologies of conducting unannounced evacuation drills to enhance the understanding of evacuation behaviours and performance within the Complex Muon Solenoid (CMS) cavern at CERN. The primary objective was to validate the CMS underground evacuation simulation model for planned evacuation and compare various data collection methods. An unannounced evacuation dr
Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in up to 5% of worldwide pregnancies. It is a complex disease characterised by sudden onset hypertension, and it is harmful to the mother as well as the growing baby, accounting for 40% of fetal deaths worldwide. The disease can be divided into early and late-onset PE, defined as diagnosis earlier or later than 34 weeks of gestation. Despite decades of research, the cause
In this paper. we present an analysis of different channel estimator structures that can be used and efficiently implemented with minor configuration changes of a common hardware for both LTE and DVB-H Such common estimator structures for LTE and DVB-H allow algorithm and hardware reuse when both standards are implemented on the same platform. In this approach, a core estimator will be utilized to
The paper addresses the challenges of supply chain management in the electronics sector influenced by the trends of globalisation, production outsourcing and emerging product-related environmental policies. The trends have forced the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to take eco-design and supply chain management (SCM) initiatives, which pose challenging demands on the suppliers in developin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Strålbehandling av cancerpatienter sker idag med avancerad teknik och utrustning. Förberedelserna inför behandlingen är omfattande och kräver medverkan av flera olika personalkategorier och övervakning via datoriserade verifikationssystem. I varje led i förberedelsekedjan finns en potentiell risk för avvikelser, vilka kan vara både systematiska eller tillfälliga i sin nThe aim of this work was to develop, implement and evaluate an independent system with which to calculate the absorbed dose, delivered by high-energy X-ray beams, to the prescription point and the depth of dose maximum. The introduction of such a system in the clinical routine may help ensure high-quality treatment and avoidance of errors which may jeopardise the clinical outcome of the treatment
The objective of this paper is to describe the evaluation and effects of a major reconstruction of an arterial street in Eskilstuna, a medium sized Swedish town. The aim of the reconstruction was to minimize the barrier effects of the arterial street and by that create a stronger connection between the town center, on one side of the street, and the town-river, on the other; but also to create gen
