The proper handling of alarms is crucial to automated process control. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a fault situation. Here, a toolbox is proposed that aims to reduce the occurrence of the so called nuisance alarms. It is a general computerized tool that takes advantage of the control system's built-in functions, and is a first step to an enhanced overall alar

This licentiate thesis consists of two separate studies on educational attainment and returns to education. The first paper, “Ethnic Segregation and Educational Attainment in Sweden”, studies whether youths brought up in ethnically segregated neighbourhoods differ in educational attainment from youths brought up in more affluent neighbourhoods, after controlling for family characteristics.

Background: Comorbidity amongst anxiety disorders is very common in children as in adults and leads to considerable distress and impairment, yet is poorly understood.

We examined the genetic and environmental influences on the

This contribution on Intellectual Property, Taxation and State Aid Law investigates whether some tax incentives for Research and Development—and Innovation (R&D or R&D&I) adopted by EU Member States are in line with the legal framework of State Aid rules in the context of the EU policy objectives and of article 179 TFEU.

Vital knowledge about gender relations can be gained through the study of military and defense organizations. Such insititutions of hegemonic masculinity tend to represent and reify specific notions of masculinity in ways that make it the norm. The article suggests that such insititutions can be approached through feminist methodology, for example, by using critical analysis to question what appea
