There is a need for high quality evaluation instruments when testing new mobile devices and services. The aim of this study was to describe the development of the MobiHealth Usability Evaluation Questionnaire. It was developed in a step-wise consensus process with close interaction between researchers, technology developers and end-users. The questionnaire ten dimensions: functionality, user inter

In the Full-Scale Optimization approach the complete empirical financial return probability distribution is considered; and the utility maximizing solution is found through numerical optimization. Using a portfolio choice setting of three UK equity indices we identify several utility functions featuring loss aversion and prospect theory; under which Full-Scale Optimization is a substantially bette

Control design is a rich problem which requires that many issues such as load disturbances and set-point responses, model uncertainty, and measurement noise are taken into account. These issues are discussed for design of PI and PID controllers. The purpose is to give insight into the different criteria and their trade-offs, not to give specific tuning methods.

This thesis summarises experimental results on the molecular spectroscopy of gas phase molecules excited by synchrotron radiation in the VUV and soft X-ray regions. We have used three different detection techniques, photon in- duced fluorescence spectroscopy, photoionisation mass spectroscopy and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy to study molecular deu- terium, hydrogen sulp

Textbook in film analysis; consists of readings of the films Independence Day (Emmerich 1996), Ingeborg Holm (Sjöström 1913), Decamerone (Pasolini 1970) and The Lawnmower Man (Leonard 1992).

Lao PDR has shown a strong record of economic growth and poverty alleviation since the early 1990s. Yet, the pace of economic development has varied significantly between different parts of the country - the rate of growth was initially faster in more developed areas, but after the mid-1990s growth has been stronger in poorer rural areas. Here it is shown that this pattern of regional development

Ioannes Dantiscus' letters are a source of singular importance for 16th century European history. Dantiscus was a great traveller who got first-hand information from most parts of Europe, and his correspondence conveys to us today a vivid and varied picture of Early Modern Europe. The list of his correspondents is a name-dropper's dream: Copernicus, Philip Melanchton and Hernan Cortez, to mention

This article investigates the historical development and transformation of Swedish integration policy, including its predecessor immigrant policy, as a “biopolitics of the population”. “Biopolitics of the population” refers in this article to all governmental interventions targeting the population, or parts of it, with a view to producing a collective body of a particular quality and identity. Swe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Infektionssjukdomar är lika vanliga hos fiskar som hos alla andra djur. Dessa infektioner kan orsakas av virus, bakterier samt eukaryota organismer som svamp och protozoer. I naturliga fiskpopulationer utgör detta ett litet problem men får stora ekonomiska konsekvenser i fiskodlingar eftersom ett stort antal fiskar kan infekteras på kort tid och i värsta fall dö, ca 10 Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a Birnavirus that infects salmonid fish. The infection is usually mortal for fish under six months of age, while older fish become carriers, usually without any signs of infection, and will spread the virus to other susceptible fish and to their offspring. IPNV is an icosahedral, naked virion and the genome consists of two segments of double-stranded

A recapitulation of the history of the the great library of the Bohemian statesman Peter Wok Rosenberg, which after his death entered the Emporor’s treasures in Prague, but was captured by the Swedish Army at the end of the Thirty Years War and brought to Stockholm, where parts still reside in the Royal Library. Its white bindings are a prominent feature of the Rosenberg collection.

Liberalismen är en mångfacetterad politisk riktning som har varit så framgångsrik att den nästan förlorat sin ideologiska skärpa. Vi är alla goda liberaler numera och tror på medborgerliga friheter och individens självbestämmande. Men hur ser liberalismen som ett distinkt politiskt alternativ egentligen ut? I den här boken vaskas de liberala kärnåtagandena fram, de värden som man måste skriva unde

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for rechargeable non-aqueous electrolyte lithium-air batteries with a partial opening for oxygen supply to the cathode. Multi-phase transport phenomena occurred in the battery are considered, including dissolved lithium ions and oxygen gas in the liquid electrolyte, solid-phase electron transfer in the porous functional materials and liquid-p

A comparison between second language learners of Swedish, some of whom have an L1 with lexical tones, while the others do not, and their ability to produce adequate tonal word accents in Swedish is presented. The L1s in question are Farsi, Somali, Vietnamese and Thai. There is no clear evidence that it is easier to learn the correct Swedish word accent patterns and their correct application for sp

Vi är alla goda liberaler numera och tror på medborgerliga friheter och individens självbestämmande. Men hur ser liberalismen som distinkt politiskt alternativ egentligen ut? Att vara liberal är något mer specifikt än att gilla yttrandefrihet och tolerans. Liberalismen behandlas här som en politisk filosofi - en teori om det rättvisa samhället. Olika liberala riktningar diskuteras utifrån de grund
