This work proposes a multi-dimensional frequency and amplitude estimator tailored for noise corrupted signals that have been clipped. Formulated as a sparse reconstruction problem, the proposed algorithm estimates the signal parameters by solving an atomic norm minimization problem. The estimator also exploits the waveform information provided by the clipped samples, incorporated in the form of li

In Take the Floor I explored the conditions of communication inflected by habitus. Apart from Bourdieu’s definition of the notion, Rapport and Overing (2003: 2) emphasized those transposable dispositions which generate structured social practices. Understanding the conditions of habitus allows the generator of discourses, endowed with agency, to insert in them manipulative or propagandistic ingred

The aim was to describe school nurses' experiences working with students with mental health problems. In this inductive qualitative study, interviews were conducted with 14 school nurses in Sweden. The content analysis revealed three themes: (1) sense of worriedness about working with students with mental health problems, (2) taking care of students with mental health issues was an opportunity for

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which is the most common cause of death in the world. People with intellectual disability (ID) have been reported to have high rates of both these disorders. The aim of this study was to describe and compare prevalence ratios of diabetes mellitus and hypertension between older adults with ID and their age p

As our society becomes more and more dependent on IT systems, failures of these systems can harm more and more people and organizations. Diligently performing risk and hazard analysis helps to minimize the potential harm of IT system failures on the society and increases the probability of their undisturbed operation. Risk and hazard analysis is an important activity for the development and operat

Inviting audiences into the late-night, precarious world of (photo)shopping, we explore the way in which the ghostly figures of the Photoshop world – its exhausted architects, indebted consumers, and the two-dimensional cut-outs that populate its spaces – are all put to use in a project of producing subjectivities through environments. Feminist critiques of visuality provide a basis in understandi

This book advocates ethical self-restraint in the realm of corporate tax. It seeks to undermine, and ideally to remove, any self-serving rationalizations that may seductively encourage corporate executives to act without restraint. Nowhere is this more needed than in the world of business regulations, where corporate executives may be tempted to influence the formation, implementation, and reform

This article deals with political, histo- rical, and tax-policy issues in connection with the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund and other European Research Infrastructure Consortiums (ERICs). Various issues arise with regard to the organization and structure of large European research projects: in-kind contributi- ons; and worker mobility, with implications for attracting top international

OBJECTIVE: Treatments have failed to delay or stop the autoimmune process, preceding onset of type 1 diabetes. We investigated if autoantigen-specific treatment with alum-formulated glutamate decarboxylase (GAD-Alum) was safe and affected progression to type 1 diabetes in children with islet autoimmunity.METHODS: In an investigator-initiated, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, non-di

The present study was undertaken in order to examine the differences between occupations in the Swedish labour market with respect to the risk for men and women of leaving working life prematurely. The project was carried out as a population study employing methodology used in demographics to predict life length at birth. Here, calculations of expected remaining work-life length were based on the

Inhibitory control refers to the ability to stop impulses in favor of more appropriate behavior, and it constitutes one of the underlying cognitive functions associated with cognitive flexibility. Much attention has been given to cross-species comparisons of inhibitory control; however, less is known about how and when these abilities develop. Mapping the ontogeny of inhibitory control in differen

BackgroundEven though the importance of a facilitator during an implementation process is well described, the facilitator’s role is rarely problematized in relation to the organizational context in terms of power and legitimacy; themes which have recently been brought to the fore when studying change in health care organizations. Therefore, in this article, we present a qualitative study with the

The gut microbiome of animals is emerging as an important factor influencing ecological and evolutionary processes. A major bottleneck in obtaining microbiome data from large numbers of samples is the time-consuming laboratory procedures required, specifically the isolation of DNA and generation of amplicon libraries. Recently, direct PCR kits have been developed that circumvent conventional DNA e
