To develop PDT beyond treatment of thin superficial tumors, to also be an efficient treatment alternative to deeply located and/or thick tumors, a system based on interstitial illumination using multiple fibers has been developed. Conditions that could benefit from such a treatment modality are for instance malignant brain tumors and tumors in the oral cavity. In interstitial PDT one needs to use

This paper is a part of a doctoral study named “Leadership in a crisis”. This paper proposes a way to a) measure the human talent leadership and b) training the ability for leadership, regarding individuals as well as leadership teams. The same simulation should be used for measuring and training. The simulation system uses intelligent agents based on HLA, IEEE 1516, for easy scaling, interoperabi

In this paper a systematic study of the surface influence on the elastic properties of nanosized iron and tungsten wires and films is performed. Single crystal defect-free nanowires and nanofilms are examined through molecular statics simulations, and the concepts of surface energy and third order elastic constants are used in an attempt to describe the elastic properties. For structures where the re

Det finns ingen anledning att varna längre om en förestående generationsväxling och kommande kompetensförsörjningsproblem. Den tiden är nu! 40-talisterna har alla snart gått i pension samtidigt som personalomsättningen ökar på hela arbetsmarknaden. Kompetens inom fastighetsbranschen har blivit en färskvara som det nu finns för lite av då det också råder brist på utbildningsmöjligheter. Brukare a

Den italienske filosofen Giorgio Agamben (f. 1942) reflekterar i sin L'aperto (2002) över människans försök att skilja sig från djuren, att skilja det mänskliga från det djuriska även inom människan. I denna studie placerar jag in denna bok dels i Agambens övergripande biopolitiska projekt, Homo sacer, dels in den filosofiska strömning som kallas posthumanism. Syftet är att analysera distinktionen

This paper explores experimentally the effects of costly communication possibilities in market entry games. It is shown that these effects depend on whether entry costs are symmetric or asymmetric. In the former, but not the latter case, communication possibilities increase coordination success substantially and are likely to generate inferior outcomes for consumers. Furthermore, cost asymmetries

The Judeo-Christian tradition is a common cultural womb for many Westerners; in its literary registers travel replicates, metaphorically as well as metonymically, the story of creation: birth, living, death, or: Genesis, Exodus, the Final Judgment. Life – the exilic wandering forced upon Adam and Eve after the Fall – is an oft cited ‘first journey’ of humankind which transports a compelling ancest
