Wearable medical devices can be positioned around the torso for monitoring of critical health parameters. The signal transmission between them is through a wireless link over an on-body propagation channel. In this paper, the effect of some factors which could influence the propagation channel around the torso as: (a) frequency of operation (b) positions of the arms (c) material of a chair used, h

I dagens samhällsdebatt, i media och vetenskaplig forskning, uppmärksammas människors utsatthet för våldsbrott som ett mycket allvarligt problem. Utmärkande för det offentliga samtalet är dess skarpa fokusering på den våldsamme mannen. Mäns utsatthet för andra mäns våld är däremot en problematik som ytterst sällan förs på tal. Här råder en påfallande tystnad. Christopher Collstedt menar i denna b

Det politiska intresset för yrkesutbildning och framförallt för gymnasial lärlingsutbildning fortsätter att vara högt framförallt för att kunna bekämpa ungdomsarbetslösheten genom en bättre övergång skola-arbetsliv. Den gymnasiala yrkesutbildningen har genomgått flera förändringar. Sedan hösten 2013 diskuterar regeringen om ett systemskifte, lärlingsutbildningen bör läggas upp på samma sätt som I

This contribution is intended to present the results of some comparative tests between different techniques for tridimensional digital documentation, applied to archaeological finds. Both open source and proprietary solutions have been analyzed, investigating pros and cons of their approach and considering the characteristics of hardware and software components from an archaeological point of view

The focus of this project has been to find a method on how to do production improvements systematically in the case of manufacturing by means of metal cutting operations. Typically every company determines their cutting data with the help of previous experiences as well as recommendations made by the tool manufacturers. These chosen cutting data may be the optimal settings for the specific operati

Adult education in Sweden is extensive, based on a long tradition and range from higher education to non-formal popular education. Swedish adult education is highly decentralised and autonomous. As a general principle, adult education is free of charge for the learners and financed by the public budget. The Swedish perspectives takes it’s starting point from the initiatives of OECD, the European C

Pictures taken with digital cameras have become an alternative and a complement to symbols in communication for persons with cognitive disabilities. We have started a discussion forum on digital pictures on the internet. The postings from the discussion forum were analyzed to see what kind of use of digital pictures that professionals and parents are interested in. To validate the results, an e-

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) as well as to characterize the CP population, its participation in a secondary prevention programme (CPUP) and to validate the CPUP database. Methods The study population was born 1990–1997 and resident in Skåne/Blekinge on Jan 1st 2002. Multiple sources were used. Irrespective of earlier diagnoses, neuropa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom allt i och runt oss består av kemikalier är det av högsta vikt att vi förstår hur dessa reagerar med varandra. Katalytiska omvandlingar är kemiska reaktioner där en katalysator underhåller en reaktion utan att själv förbrukas. Inom metallorganisk kemi är tillverkning och förstålelsen av hur komplex med övergångsmetaller kan användas vi katalys mycket viktig. KoAbstract The work presented in this thesis discusses synthesis of PCP-complexes and utilisations of such organometallic compounds in catalysis. The complexes, obtained by intramolecular Csp3-H activation, are based on the metals palladium, platinum and iridium. The synthesis of PCP-ligands include new and improved preparative routes to the previously known cis-1,3-bis-(di-iso-propylphosphinito)cy

The objective of this paper is to provide a classification of recycling policy measures in relation to the actual recycling levels achieved in the EU Member States and in the European Environment Agency member countries. The paper covers the following five waste streams: packaging waste, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), municipal solid waste (MSW), biodegradable municipal waste (B

Emergency management practice can be supported by ICT in many ways, and numerous ICT-based systems are available that offer support in the different phases of emergency management. Yet, many such systems do not provide as much support to emergency management as expected or wished for. In some situations they may even compromise emergency management performance, due to suboptimal adaptation to the

När man analyserar uppfattningen om globala miljörisker genom att bygga på undersökningar kring allmänhetens rankningar av risker står man inför flera typer av tolkningsproblem, vilket den genomförda analysen visar. Även om man använder väl definierade kvantitativa metoder så återstår metodologiska problem, såsom Galtons problem kring mikro- och makroanalyser, tolkningsproblem kring representativi
