Bangladesh has made significant progress in health indicators in recent years in spite of her low level of income. This is mainly due to the commitment of the state supported by donors in providing preventive care with respect to child health and family planning. However, there are serious problems related to both access and quality of curative care that hurt the poor most. Infrastructures for ser

Goal-oriented measurement following the Goal/Question/Metric (GQM) approach is a well-defined and powerful tool in software management and decision-support. This chapter proposes the integration of GQM with a mature software process simulation approach, System Dynamics, in order to further enhance software managers' analytic, explorative, and decision-making capability. The proposed hybrid approac

Broadband multicarrier communication suffers from a large signal span, causing problems in both wireless and wireline systems. This is commonly referred to as a high peak to average ratio (PAR), and leads to a high power consumption, which is an important limitation in many communication systems. This thesis puts focus on PAR reduction for wireline communication systems, in particular for the mul

Work by Ahmet Karamustafa, Patricia Crone,

Rättfärdigande av krig har i alla tider varit ett centralt inslag i internationell politik. Kan militärt våld rättfärdigas? För vilka ändamål kan militära interventioner legitimeras? Hur rättfärdigas humanitära interventioner? Med vilka etiska kriterier försvaras krigen i Afghanistan, Irak och Israel-Palestina? Dessa är några av de många intressanta frågor som behandlas i denna bok. Antologin utg

Conventionally, minimax spatial/spectral filters for microphone arrays are designed by first discretizing the spatial and frequency domains into a finite number of grid points and then performing the optimization over these points. The drawback with this approach is that the response of the spatial/spectral filters in between the grid points can be poor. More recently, an approach that performs th

Study of the representation of welfare state professionals – doctors, social workers – in the films of Ingmar Bergman.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studier har visat att rörelsen i atrioventrikulära planet (AVPD) är korrelerat med såväl vänster kammares (VK) systoliska, mätt som ejections fraktion (EF), som diastoliska funktion. Ålder, hjärtfrekvens, VK storlek, vänster förmaks storlek, myokardiets tjocklek, kroppsyta och afterload är andra faktorer som påverkar AVPD. I denna avhandling studeras relationen mellan ALeft atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) has been shown to correlate well with left ventricular (LV) systolic function measured as ejection fraction (EF). AVPD has also been shown to be related to diastolic performance. Other factors related to AVPD include age, heart rate, LV and atrial dimensions, myocardial thickness, bodysurface, and afterload. In this thesis the left AVPD was studied i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utforskar vad det innebär att vara verksamhetsnära chef i en svensk kommunal omsorgsorganisation. Det forskningsprojekt som utgör avhandlings empiriska bas tillkom för att de medverkande cheferna upplevde att de hade en svår arbetssituation. Resultaten från projektet belyser chefskapets innebörd och förutsättningar, sett ur chefernas perspektiv. Det allra The present doctoral thesis aimed to explore what it means to be a first-level manages in a Swedish municipal social care administration, seen from the managers’ perspective.
