In the realm of wireless communications, the exploration of user equipment (UE) sensing capabilities has emerged as a complementary approach for optimizing the performance of wireless networks. This thesis delves into the potential enhancements achievable by integrating UE sensing capabilities into wireless networks, focusing on detecting Line Of Sight (LOS) and Non Line Of Sight (NLOS) scenarios.
Close international collaboration between pediatric oncologists has led to marked improvements in the cure of patients, seen as a long-term overall survival rate of about 80%. Despite this progress, neuroblastoma remains a challenging disease for both clinicians and researchers. Major clinical problems include lack of acceptable cure rates in high-risk neuroblastoma and potential overtreatment of
The aryl alkyl alcohol (AAA) fragrance ingredients are a diverse group of chemical structures with similar metabolic and toxicity profiles. The AAA fragrances demonstrate low acute and subchronic dermal and oral toxicity. No carcinogenicity in rats or mice was observed in 2-year chronic testing of benzyl alcohol or alpha-methylbenzyl alcohol: the latter did induce species and gender-specific renal
Previous research has shown that wheelchair-seated passengers using special transportation services (STS) have been injured without being involved in a vehicle crash. In order to estimate incident rate and societal costs for these vehicle-related injuries, the focus needs to be adjusted towards a traveler/incident-oriented perspective. The aim of the project was to utilize such a perspective, rela
Objectives Evidence suggests that certain occupations and related exposures may increase the risk of malignant lymphoma. Farming, printing and paper industry, wood processing, meat handling and processing, welding, shoe and leather manufacturing and teaching profession are among the categories that have been implicated in previous studies. The relationship between occupation and malignant lymphoma
Vehicular communication channels are characterized by a non-stationary time- and frequency-selective fading process due to fast changes in the environment. We characterize the distribution of the envelope of the first delay bin in vehicle-to-vehicle channels by means of its Rician $K$-factor. We analyze the time–frequency variability of this channel parameter using vehicular channel measurements a
Background: Falls are the most common cause of injuries and hospital admissions in the elderly. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare has created a list of drugs considered to increase the fall risk (FRIDs) and drugs that might cause/worsen orthostatism (ODs). This cross-sectional study was aimed to assess FRIDs and their correlation with falls in a sample of 369 community-dwelling and
1. Permutation tests are important in ecology and evolution as they enable robust analysis of small sample sizes and control for various forms of dependencies among observations. A common source of dependence is spatial autocorrelation. Accounting for spatial autocorrelation is often crucial, because many ecological and evolutionary processes are spatially restricted, such as gene flow, dispersal,
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research. Temperature measurements on freely moving or free-ranging animals in the wild are challenging but can be undertaken using a range of techniques. Internal temperatu
Studien syftade dels till att undersöka om personlighetsvariabler som visat sig predicera beteende i sociala dilemman även hade ett samband med Organisatoriskt engagemang. Vidare avsåg studien undersöka vad som ligger bakom viljan att arbeta ideellt i form av motivation och personlighet. Urvalet i studien bestod av 203 ideellt aktiva inom tolv olika studentorganisationer. Data inhämtades genom en The aim of the present study was first to examine whether personality variables, which in previous research have been found to predict behaviour in social dilemmas, also were related to Organizational commintment. Second, the study aimed to explore what lies behind a willingness to volunteer in a non-profit organization in terms of motivation and personality. The sample in the study consisted of 2
The outbreak of COVID-19 plunged the world economy into a pandemic with severe consequences. However, the pandemic may very well have been a blessing in disguise for the mitigation of another killer: ambient air pollution. This study investigates how the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in India affected the ambient air pollution concentrations in a sample of Indian cities. Based on air pollution da
Bakgrund: Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter i att finna mening och värde i aktiviteter. Dock är dessa typer av subjektiva upplevelser viktiga för god hälsa. Vardag i balans (VIB) är en arbetsterapeutisk gruppintervention som ämnar främja upplevelsen av mening och värde i aktivitet. Trots att forskning visar att sociodemografiska aspekter kan frambringa skillnader i värdeuppleveBackground: People with mental illness often have difficulties experiencing meaning and value in occupations although these types of experiences are important for well-being. Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) is an occupational therapy group intervention intended to promote these experiences. Although research shows that sociodemographic aspects can yield differences in experience of value, there are
The purpose of this study was to analyze women’s vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS from the perspective of their social status in Yunnan Province. Three main questions were asked: what are the current situation of women’s HIV/AIDS infection and the reasons behind the epidemic in contemporary Yunnan Province, China, how do sociocultural factors which have effects on women’s social status influence their
The purpose of this thesis is to show how leadership in practice can be different from what is approached in popular theories but yet a good way of practicing leadership through the follower’s perspective. The research methodology in this thesis is a qualitative study inspired by critical theory in which empirical data is collected by semi-structured interviews. We have interviewed eight employees
This study investigates the factors influencing the intentions of onward migration from Sweden among individuals with a foreign background. Using a quantitative approach, the study examines how levels of integration, belief in the future, social belonging, and educational and occupational status relate to considerations of leaving the country. The analysis is based on data collected through a web-
En inkluderande och justerbar modell av den mänskliga bröstkorgen för framtidens testning av HLR-utrustning Att testa och validera medicinsk utrustning på människor är etiskt komplicerat, praktiskt problematiskt och i vissa fall direkt farligt. Ett konkret exempel är en mekanisk hjärt- och lungräddningsmaskin, där utförandet av hjärtkompressioner utan hjärtstopp kan vara skadligt. Därför krävs teThe LUCAS Chest Compression System is a market leading mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, assisting medical professionals worldwide when treating patients with sudden cardiac arrest. The objective of this master thesis project was to develop a new, adjustable test equipment for the LUCAS device, allowing for tests on varying chest heights and stiffness levels. Product development str
This study investigates how expiration dates and dynamic shelf life labels influence consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for fresh chicken products. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), the research evaluates the impact of shelf life duration, price, and the presence of a real-time freshness indicator on consumer decision-making. A sample of fresh chicken consumers in Lund, Swed
