Why do Swedish students go to university? Results of an anthropological study

This paper details the findings of an assessment of the Swedish "application crisis" to universities, where some fields have experienced a drop in applications. There are also problems with throughput of students. Our team interviewed gymnasium pupils, guidance counselors, and first year students in selected disciplines at Lund University to find out how they made their decision to come to univers

Orthogonality Factor in WCDMA Downlinks in Urban Macrocelluar Environments

Multipath dispersion leads to the loss of orthogonality between signals transmitted simultaneously on a wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) downlink. The orthogonality factor (OF), which models its impact in the link signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) equation, depends - to a large extent - on the power delay profile of the multipath channel between the mobile and its servi

Tehnology Shift and Long term Growth in Regions

Abstract The overarching aim of this paper is to investigate the importance of technological shifts and national macroeconomic preconditions for long term growth and structural transformation in various regions in a national regional system. Intrinsic to this, the issue and origin of divergence and convergence coming in repetitive waves in regional systems will be discussed as a possible contribut

To pay or not to pay - That is the question

Regarding access to remote sensing data, there are a number of aspects that need to be taken into consideration such as user time limit for e.g. space scientists, what rights do the involving states have, access rights for foreign domains and archiving. But the most central aspect is perhaps the pricing of such information. The demand for remote sensing data creates a competitive market, a market

Risk Factors for Nursing Home Placement in Cholinesterase Inhibitor Treated Naturalistic Alzheimer Patients.

Aims: To analyse which factors influence nursing home placement (NHP) and time until NHP in long-term cholinesterase inhibitor treated patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is an open, on-going, non-randomized, multicentre study in a routine clinical setting. Patients with the diagnosis of AD, living at home at the time of inclusion, receive

Processes in Optical Diesel Engines - Emissions Formation and Heat Release

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dieselmotorn, uppkallad efter sin uppfinnare Rudolf Diesel, patenterades 1892 och har sedan dess bidragit väsentligt till utvecklingen av samhället. Den viktigaste användningen är som kraftkälla i fordon och detta användningsområde ökar fortfarande. Andelen dieselmotorer i nyregistrerade personbilar i Västeuropa har nyligen passerat 50 %. För kommersiella fordon som lasThis project deals with questions related to generic diesel combustion research and optically accessible engines are used to study the combustion process. Images of the combustion are analyzed together with in-cylinder pressure and exhaust gas emission measurements. The results can be divided into two main categories: one about evaluations of optically accessible engines and one about studies of e
