This research is an attempt to conceptualize the underlying forces behind persistent and ubiquitous problems of inequality in access to water in cities of the global south. Inequality in water access is hypothesized to result from urban water regimes that tend to prioritize the right to water access or to provide preferential terms of access for some groups in society, while marginalizing others.

Moraxella catarrhalis is a major cause of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema. M. catarrhalis–specific UspA1 and the epithelial carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM1) were required to induce apoptosis. M. catarrhalis–induced apoptosis was significantly enhanced in HeLa cells stably transfected with CEACAM1, compared with HeLa cells

To address the hypothesis of brain dysfunction as a component of the multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) syndrome, a neuropsychological battery comprising 8 tests was given to 17 Swedish MCS patients and 34 demographically matched controls. Across the 6 tests used as indicators of brain impairment, comprising a total of 17 test variables, the MCS group performed poorer only in a complex reaction t

The increasing use of unlicensed frequency bands for radio communications calls for investigations of the interference between coexisting radio networks. The wide variety of radio interfaces makes such investigations hard to perform. In this paper we present a general framework for the analysis of heterogeneous interfering radio networks, where the networks are modeled with individual properties f

Dramat under 1900-talets tre sista decennier kan sägas handla om de marginaliserade i samhället – barnen, de socialt utsatta, människor med olika etnisk bakgrund, de homosexuella och inte minst kvinnorna. Även språket står i centrum för intresset. Många skriver om hur människan påverkas av att ha ett språk och att inte ha ett språk. Mot de etablerade språkliga normerna ställs arbetarnas, de utslag

In this work, we examine a computationally efficient block-updating scheme for estimating the spectral content of signals with missing samples. The work is an extension of our recent single-sample data interpolation updating of the Iterative Adaptive Approach (IAA), being reformulated to incorporate blocks of samples. The proposed implementation offers a substantial complexity reduction as compare

In an intermedial reading of Astrid Lindgren’s oeuvre, Astrid Lindgren's World is not only analyzed as an ideal case of transmediality or remediation, but also as a modern form of a Total work of art. In doing so, the history of the genre ' total work of art' is discussed by broadening the common aesthetic point-of-view with angles from economy and advertising.

Tailbiting codes are error correcting codes and can be used in digital transmission systems. They are obtained by terminating convolutional codes into block codes. This thesis consists of an introduction to convolutional and tailbiting codes, and the Papers A--G that include the main results. In Paper A, the error correcting capability of tailbiting codes is described via the active distances for
