Social Movements, Identities and Social Classes

This research will explore the field of social movements by explaining why and how a minority social movement persists despite persistent constraints placed upon it by a majority-dominated state. The Chinese education movement has been one of the largest and most sustained social movements in Malaysia. Sociological, economic, and demographic changes of the Chinese community along with domestic pol

Impact of Functional Models in a Decision Context of Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability Reduction

Critical infrastructures provide essential services for the functioning of the society, and vulnerability analysis is an important basis for decisions concerning increasing their robustness against strains. Since critical infrastructures can be regarded as complex systems, such analyses can prove challenging. To analyze the system response to strains, several different functional models have been

Finite element simulation of mechanical and moisture-related stresses in laterally loaded multi-dowel timber connections

Numerical simulations of stress distribution within a moment stiff timber frame corner have been performed. The frame corner is a multi-dowel connection with two slotted-in steel plates. The interaction between the fasteners and the wood material is modelled as a full contact interaction based on penalty formulation. The wood material is assumed to be an orthotropic material in reference to elasti

Improving diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes in an emergency setting: A machine learning approach

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut koronart syndrom (AKS) är den största folkdödaren i väst idag. Trots välutbildade läkare och bra diagnostiska verktyg så är det forfarande svårt att ställa en diagnos tidigt på sjukhusens akutavdelningar. I den här avhandlingen undersöker vi möjligheter att i ett tidigt skede förutsäga AKS med hjälp av maskininlärning. Främst användes logistiska regressionsmodellerAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the biggest people killer in the western world today. Despite well trained physicians and reliable diagnostic tools, diagnosing ACS early in the emergency departments (ED) remains a challenge. In this thesis we used machine learning, via logistic regression models and artificial neural network ensembles, to investigate the possibility of predicting ACS at an early

Guidelines for treating dissociative identity disorder in adults, third revision

Abstract in Undetermined The International Society for the Study of Dissociation (ISSD), the former name of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), adopted the Guidelines for Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) in Adults in 1994. However, the Guidelines must be responsive to developments in the field and require ongoing review

Dynamic pictures and interactive learning

The paper presents interactive learning tools used in courses in automatic control at Lund Institute of Technology. The learning tools are aimed at improving the understanding of and intuition for the abstract parts of the control courses. The paper presents dynamic interactive modules for a course in sampled-data systems. The tools are implemented in Matlab and used over the Internet.

Evaluation of sustainable aspects in real estate management

In the EU and in Sweden there is an ongoing work with improvement in the area of sustainability. However, the problem for the management of a real estate company is to the most important sustainable aspects together with the usual economic considerations for an effective long-term maintenance of the building stock. This process will demand tools and methods to estimate the various aspects of susta

Software Configuration Management Issues with Industrial Opensourcing

The industrial involvement in Open Source Software projects is increasing. More and more companies are turning their proprietary code into open source, contribute actively to the development of Open Source Software projects or/and use Open Source Software products as (part of) their own products. Software Configuration Management provides the infrastructure that is the foundation for any type of s
