It is now widely accepted that the vast majority of inhabitants of cities in developing countries have to be involved in the construction of their houses if they are to become home-owners. During the construction process, most households will make payments for land, construction materials and skilled labour. This chapter analyses the different ways in which households finance these payments and fo

"If on a winter’s night an architect" was developed and presented within the Milano International Design Studio (MInDS) at Politecnico di Milano as an intensive workshop focused on model production.The work was produced exclusively through physical models, understood not as representations of predefined designs but as tools for thinking. Through iterative processes of making, testing, and reconfig

Conventional social mobility research misses substantial inequalities of opportunity. To capture intergenerational persistence of family social status, we need to move beyond parent-child associations in occupation or income. We study the inheritance of surname status as a group-level process, using full-count population data for Swedish men between 1880 and 2015 and surname types reflecting prein

Detta är Arena Idés åttonde årliga flaggskeppsrapport om den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen. Anders Kjellbergs rapporter för Arena Idé harblivit referensverk för alla som bevakar svensk arbetsmarknad.Som vanligt redovisas nya uppgifter om facklig organisationsgrad ochmedlemsutveckling, men även ny statistik om fackligt förtroendevalda,a-kassornas medlemsutveckling och organisationsgrad, kollektiva

Objectives: SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss-of-function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes. Here we describe a novel dominant variant in SLC4A4 in patients wit

This Master’s Thesis explored how traditional computer vision methods and deep learning methods could be used to estimate hardwood and softwood fibre distributions in paperboard. 11 mixtures ranging from 100% hardwood to 100% softwood with 10% increments were analysed. The study compared the usefulness of tomograms and radiographs for the given task. It was found that traditional methods did not

Germany remains the only large country in the world without a general speed limit on highways. One of the main arguments for this policy is that lower speeds represent a travel time cost that is not outweighed by benefits, such as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. As transport decision making in the European Union is based on cost-benefit analysis (CBA), this paper compares the value of tra

Industrial control systems must ensure reliable operation while respecting physical and operational constraints. In practice, PID controllers dominate industrial control, often cited as covering over 95% of control loops. PID controllers are reliable, well understood, and easy to maintain, but they cannot explicitly handle constraints. In contrast, model predictive control (MPC) can enforce constr

This study examines how trustworthiness is constructed in Chinese livestream ecommerce through the relationship between streamers and consumers. Focusing on selected Douyin livestream selling clips, the study uses a qualitative comparative case study design and multimodal thematic analysis to compare trustbuilding practices across streamers of different levels, including super, large, medium, an

A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several tumour types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described separately (Acta Oncol 2003; 42: 357-365). This synthesis of the literature on radiation therapy for soft tissue sarcomas (STS) is based on data from five randomized trial

We performed a systematic, large-scale analysis of human protein complexes comprising gene products implicated in many different categories of human disease to create a phenome-interactome network. This was done by integrating quality-controlled interactions of human proteins with a validated, computationally derived phenotype similarity score, permitting identification of previously unknown compl

Microalbuminuria is thought to be an important prognostic factor in diabetes mellitus. To study the influence of changes in blood pressure on the development of microalbuminuria during exercise, two exercise tests were carried out. A total of 32 insulin dependent diabetic men whose age at onset was less than 30 years, mean duration of diabetes 14 years (range 7 to 21) and mean age 29 years (range

Although it is often emphasized that the matrix of bone grafts contains several growth factors, it is not known if these factors become activated and play a role in bone grafting. We therefore compared ground defatted bone which had or had not been deproteinized by heating with water to 270 degrees C at an autogenic pressure of 55 bar. This is a careful ceramic procedure which leaves the mineral u

Pseudoneurological symptoms (i.e., conversion disorder), historically subsumed within the "hysteria" concept alongside phenomena such as psychogenic amnesia and multiple personality disorder have been classified as somatoform disorders since DSM-III. Since then, there have been repeated calls to reclassify conversion disorder with the dissociative disorders, as in ICD-10. The authors review issues

To contribute to the body of empirical research on fault distributions during development of complex software systems, a replication of a study of Fenton and Ohlsson is conducted. The hypotheses from the original study are investigated using data taken from an environment that differs in terms of system size, project duration, and programming language. We have investigated four sets of hypotheses

The potentials of in vivo electropermeabilization in combination with bleomycin in brain tumor treatment have been explored. In the brain of normal Fischer 344 rats, 2 electrodes were placed 5 mm apart. Electropermeabilization was performed with 8 to 12 exponential 400 V pulses with a time constant of 325 microseconds. Some animals were given bleomycin i.v., 1mg/kg b.w., 4 minutes before electric
