The underlying question in localization is, where am I? In this thesis a purely image based approach is proposed to solve this problem. In order to create a complete image based system, there are many subproblems that have to be addressed. The localization problem can also be solved in other ways, for example, with a GPS. Two advantages with using images compared to GPS are that no open sky is nee
The employer’s right to rule is always a burning topic and many employers are currently not as familiar with the subject as they perhaps should be. High demands are placed on the employer in an employment relationship with employees, who also apply to employees. At the same time, the employer has been given, through the employer’s right to rule, the right to freely manage and allocate work in the
The aim of this work was to study atmospheric aerosols, focusing on the chemical composition, the morphology and the origin of the aerosol in the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere. An aerosol sampler was developed for this purpose. A new method for quantitative analysis of the major components of the aerosol, i.e. C, N and O was developed, and methodologies for single-particle analysis
Coagulase-negative staphyloccoci (CoNS) are the most frequently isolated micro-organisms from infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts and temporary ventricular drainage catheters, used in modern neurosurgery. CoNS originate from the skinflora of the patient or the surgeon and gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion, but the infection can erupt up to a year later or more. Immed
Postoperative pain relief with opioids after major non-cardiac surgery may give rise to adverse effects. The fear of dangerous side effects may therefore limit the optimal use of different treatment modalities in surgical wards. Opioids can be administered alone as an intravenous infusion, or in combination with local anaesthetics as an epidural infusion. Both regimes can be tailored with a patien
The identification of infectious agents in cancer has been one of the most rewarding endeavors in cancer research. Currently about 20% of the global cancer burden is linked to an infection. A common characteristic of virus-induced cancer is an increased incidence in immunosuppressed patients, presumably because of impaired host control of virus. Yet non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the cancer that
The Basel III regulatory framework was created in direct response to the financial crisis that occurred in 2007-2008. The regulatory framework in place during and before the crisis, Basel II, had not done enough to prevent the crisis. This prompted a revision and expansion of the regulations. The regulators created a new framework, which was initiated in January of 2013 and is expected to be fully
It is a widely recognised problem that witnesses are silenced by threat or violence. A number of Nordic countries have therefore chosen to allow anonymous testimony under certain circumstances. The question is if permitting anonymous witnesses are compatible with the principle of the defence, which is governed by the Code of Judicial Procedure and article 6 ECHR that provides right to fair trial.

Contributor to climate change, cities are the major responsible for a great amount of natural resource consumption and global waste production as a consequence of the ”take, make, dispose" aspects of our linear economic model. In face of this issue, Circular Economy (CE) is a new concept that seeks to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by shifting the linear eco
bstract The real estate sector in Sweden has long been characterized by high entry barriers, strict regulations, and a high demand for large initial capital. These factors make it challenging for new ventures to succeed in the market. With this background, it seems relevant to understand which driving factors can be related to entrepreneurial success. This study researches how specific characteris

This thesis consists of three distinct articles that can be read separately. Each one has been awarded a chapter of its own. The independence of these chapters should not be taken as meaning that they are unrelated. Besides belonging all to the subfield of macroeconomics, they share the common feature of being inherently economic policy oriented. The title of the first article is "Fiscal Policy a
This thesis deals with the conceptualisation of da‘wa, ‘the call to Islam’, of the British organisation the Islamic Foundation, and focuses its 25 years of publication of Islamic-English children’s literature. In order to analyse the implications of the new modalities of da‘wa in the late modern Muslim minority context, the present study applies a genealogical perspective. The study explores the
This dissertation examines the interaction between municipal home-helpers and care re-cipients from a social psychological perspective. One of the starting points is a critique of some classical works in the caring science inspired by women’s studies for not taking into consideration that care-giving work constitutes social interaction. The aim is to analyse how elderly people and the home-helpers
The present study explored the gene and protein expression of the monoamine transporters in human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle, in early decidua and in placentas from normal as well as preeclamptic pregnancies using in-situ hybridization, real time-PCR, immunohistochemistry and primary tissue cultures. Four distinguishable patterns were observed in the endometrium over the menstrual
The purpose for this work has been to develop new robust fuel electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The aim was to find suitable ceramic materials or composites with promising properties for the use as SOFC anodes. Preferably, the electrode should not contain any metal (or at least a metal should not be a major component) in order to improve the redox properties. The present work focuses o
