Sammanfattning I takt med att arbetsprocesser i allt högre grad organiseras genom automatiserade system förändras villkoren för hur nyanställda får tillgång till och utvecklar förståelse för arbete. Checklistor, kunskapsplattformar och systemförmedlade arbetsflöden kan göra arbetet tillgängligt som avgränsade moment, men innebär inte nödvändigtvis att arbetets praktiska sammanhang och situationsb
This thesis was conducted in collaboration with IKEA Components AB and aims to assess the potential of X-ray computed microtomography (μCT) and four-dimensional (4D) μCT for use in product development. The thesis examines the interaction between particleboard and thermoplastic expander dowels during pull-out testing. An experimental methodology was developed combining mechanical pull-out testing
This thesis explores how men’s irregular migration from the coastal community of Munnakkara in Negombo, Sri Lanka, to Europe reshapes the everyday lives of families left behind. The study is situated within the social and economic context of post-2022 Sri Lanka. It focuses on household insecurities among families where men initially migrated legally to Eastern European countries but later moved th
Asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are hazardous substances that pose a risk to human health and the environment, and they are banned in Sweden. There is a large amount of older buildings that contain these substances and this causes a need for risk management. The responsibility for inventory and remediation lies on the property owner. Riskcommunication is an essential tool for encourag
Neural network approaches have been demonstrated to work quite well to solve partial differential equations in practice. In this context approaches like physics-informed neural networks and the Deep Ritz method have become popular. In this paper, we propose a similar approach to solve an infinite-dimensional total variation minimization problem using neural networks. We illustrate that the resulti
The decline in areal BMD (aBMD) in men may start as early as age 19, but it is debated whether proximal femoral strength follows the same pattern. We measured FN aBMD in a cross-sectional cohort of 1101 men aged 18-28 yr with two-dimensional DXA. Body height, weight, jump height, grip strength, and maximum knee extension torque muscle strength were measured with standard tests, after which BMI was
We present a simple and scalable implementation of next-generation reservoir computing (NGRC) for modeling dynamical systems from time-series data. The method uses a pseudorandom nonlinear projection of time-delay embedded inputs, allowing the feature-space dimension to be chosen independently of the observation size and offering a flexible alternative to polynomial-based NGRC projections. We demo
A classical and central problem in the theory of water waves is to classify parameter regimes for which non-trivial solitary waves exist. In the two-dimensional, irrotational, pure gravity case, the Froude number Fr (a non-dimensional wave speed) plays the central role. So far, the best analytical result Fr < √2 was obtained by Starr (1947 J. Mar. Res., vol. 6, pp. 175–193), while the numerical ev
Germany remains the only large country in the world without a general speed limit on highways. One of the main arguments for this policy is that lower speeds represent a travel time cost that is not outweighed by benefits, such as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. As transport decision making in the European Union is based on cost-benefit analysis (CBA), this paper compares the value of tra
Active school travel has been associated with a wide range of psychological and physiological benefits. However, many parents (particularly those of primary school children) are concerned about their children’s safety due to traffic and urban infrastructure. In this research, we collected information about the geographical school routes, the transportation mode, and the accompaniment status of chi
INTRODUCTION: Women are increasingly entering the dementia research workforce, but they frequently fail to attain senior leadership positions in academia. Discrepancies in academic research outputs were investigated to guide equity-focused policy recommendations.METHODS: Bibliometrics was conducted on 400,482 original research articles (2003-2022) followed by surveying the AD/ADRD research communi
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with high mortality and long-term disability. Inflammation is central to TBI pathophysiology, yet early dynamics of inflammatory mediators in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) remain incompletely understood, and commonly used assay platforms have rarely been directly compared. We aimed to characterize the inflammatory response in blood and CSF du
Objective To examine associations of common mental disorders (CMDs) with lifestyle habits and cardiovascular risk factors among participants in targeted health dialogues in Sweden. Methods A cross-sectional study included 8903 40- and 50-year-olds between September 20, 2021, and January 10, 2024. CMDs included depressive, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Associations between CMDs and lifesty
A B S T R A C T: In Sweden, the number of single women increased during the 19th century. Legal changes partly aimed at giving women more ways to earn a living were enacted, which gradually opened up the artisan trades to female entrants. By using establishment censuses, this paper examines how the number of women engaged in the artisan trades changed in four towns in southern Sweden during the se
Event classifiers are the most fundamental observables to probe the event topology of hadronic and nuclear collisions at relativistic energies. Over the last five decades, significant progress has been made to establish suitable event classifiers to probe different physics processes occurring in elementary (Formula presented) to heavy-ion collisions in a broad range of center of mass energies. One
Background: – Adverse muscle composition (AMC), defined by low muscle volume and increased muscle fat infiltration, has been associated with comorbidity and poor function in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and increased mortality in metabolic disorders and the general population. We investigated whether MRI-derived muscle composition is associated with all-cause mortality in a UK Biobank (UKB) imagi
Background: Homologous recombination (HR) deficiency (HRD) is prevalent in ovarian, prostate, and specific subgroups of breast cancer, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Tumor HRD status can be inferred through DNA-based, RNA-based, functional, or image-based approaches. A comprehensive evaluation of the concordance and discordance among HRD prediction methods derived from these di
Background and Objectives – Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) deficiency is a potentially treatable neurodegenerative genetic disorder. It represents a common cause of mitochondrial disease. Most published reports are limited to single cases, and population-based data are lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and life expectancy and to explore genot
