In National Audit Offices (NAOs), impact is often used as a measure of success, serving to build legitimacy. When aiming to maximize impact, the media tends to play an important role. Based on empirical observations from the Swedish NAO, this paper explores how the role of the media for a NAO can be understood, and how this may affect independence. It is suggested that impact can be understood ei

In many magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) applications, one strives to estimate the parameters describing the signal to allow for more precise knowledge of the analyte. Typically, MRS signals are well modelled as a sum of damped sinusoids that has properties that are partly known a priori. FREEK, a recently proposed subspace-based parameter estimation method allows for inclusion of such prior

Hälsosant är en rehabilitering av långtidssjukskrivna i grupp som har utarbetats i Värkstaden och testats på sex apoteksanställda personer i Stockholmsregionen som alla varit sjukskrivna under minst 90 dagar. Resultaten som jämförts med s.k. matchade kontroller från Göteborg/Malmö-regionerna är lovande, även när det gäller återgång i arbete. Gruppen är dock för liten för att man ska kunna dra någr

Manufacturing processes can generally be classified as continuous, discrete or batch. An industrially well accepted way of structuring and controlling batch processes is presented in the ISA 88 standard (also known as IEC 61512). In exploring how this standard also could be used for discrete manufacturing processes, especially in robotic applications, different challenges and opportunities are fou

Based on the gamma-spectroscopic analysis of G.N. Sylvan et al., configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations have been performed. They describe the nucleus Kr-77 globally in good agreement with the experimental findings and the expectations derived from single-particle orbitals in a deformed potential. Within these calculations, the unambiguous assignment of a configuration wit

Net Zero Energy Buildings, Net ZEBs, is one of many necessary measures for climate change mitigation as they may reduce the energy consumption in the building sector. The Net ZEB interacts with a grid infrastructure. It is therefore important to consider the interaction with the grid in the design phase. This paper reports an evaluation of a proposed design of a Net ZEB in the south of Sweden eva

In this paper, we propose a distributed space-time coded cooperative protocol with amplify-and-forward relaying. Motivated by protocol (III) presented in , we propose a distributed space-time coding for an arbitrary number of relay nodes. The pairwise error probability (PEP) is derived and the theory analysis demonstrates that our protocol achieves a diversity of order N +1 where N is the number o
