This study comprises three parts, each of which illustrates different aspects of insurance fraud. The three parts can be seen as independent presentations with their own research findings; but these parts may also be seen together as a whole, giving further perspectives regarding the subject of the study. Part I presents different procedures regarding insurance fraud. This part includes a survey w
The book describes and discusses the langguage policy and planning in Sweden 1500-1800. It treats the status of Swedish in relation to other languages in Sweden (Latin, German etc.) during that time as well as the standardization of the written language from the 16th century when the reformation bible appeared in Swedish.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur upplever och ser personer med blödarsjuka eller sockersjuka sig själva och närstående andra. I den första delen av denna avhandling studeras 27 patienter, 16 till 39 år gamla, med blödarsjuka. Av primärt intresse var från början frågan hur sjukdomen kunde tänkas påverka deras känsloliv och i synnerhet deras syn på sig själva och betydelsefulla medmänniskor. DärutöveThe Affects Towards And Perceptions Of The Self And Significant Others in Hemophiliacs and Diabetics The studies in this dissertation investigated the feelings towards and ways of perceiving the self and significant others in twenty-seven patients with hemophilia between the ages of 16-39 to discern how their perceptual-affect states are organized. Secondly, the relationship between bleeds and aff
This paper presents three Swedish residential low energy buildings regarding the total need of energy in a life cycle perspective, the environmental impacts, effects of choice of material and the recycling potential. The calculated energy need for operation (space heating, electricity, hot water) was in average 50 kWh/m2 floor area per year. Simulations were made with four electricity mixes. For a
In this work we present a new low-power medium access scheme for sensor-type networks specifically with low traffic intensity. We call the proposed scheme DCW-MAC where ultra-low-power wake-up receivers are combined with optimal duty-cycled listening. First we introduce a framework for the analysis of energy consumption of the studied network type, then we use it to optimize the MAC scheme to achi

Spatial data and related technologies, particularly Geographical Information System (GIS) with the capability of display, retrieval, analysis and management of spatial data, have proven crucial for disaster management. However, there are currently different problems with availability, access and usage of spatial data for disaster management. The problems with spatial data become more serious durin
Purpose: The purpose is to provide insight into how companies in practice work during packaging development to reduce negative environmental impacts along supply chains and to compare their practical approaches with the theoretical concepts presented in the literature. Design/methodology/approach: The research approach is explorative and based on nine cases (26 semi-structured interviews) in the f
This thesis is based upon four original papers describing the characterisation of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) tumours and cell lines in comparison with different populations of normal B cells. Gene expression profiling, which were used in the studies, has during recent years developed as an important tool in characterisation of different types of malignancies. In this thesis, the technique is used
The ATLAS experiment is one of the four experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is supposed to be operational in early 2007. Proton-proton collisions at an unprecedented center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV will probe new frontiers of the universe, hopefully providing a better understanding of the laws governing our universe. Although the ATLAS detector has been optimized to search for th
