Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) refers to a wireless access technology that equips base station (BS) with hundreds to thousands of antennas to serve tens of user equipment (UE) in the same time-frequency resource. These extensive antennas improve spectral and energy efficiency, but the detection algorithms tend to be more complex with operations, multiplications, and inversions on la

Ett nytt lovande alternativ för antibiotika Hudsår är alltid med risk för bakteriell angrepp. När en infektion uppstår står immunförsvaret inför en stor utmaning, då inte sällan motståndaren övervinner flera strider. En av kroppens strategier för kampen med patogener är inflammation. Den i sin tur när blir okontrollerad, kan leda till överdriven reaktion i hela kroppen. Sådant scenario kan leda

För att etablera sig eller avancera på en viss marknad är affärsmodeller och värdekedjor två verktyg till hjälp. Framförallt inom innovationsfattiga och resistenta branscher blir vikten av dessa verktyg tyngre. Ett innovativt företag inom byggbranschen studerades för att erhålla information om nuvarande läge som sedan med hjälp av teoretiskt ramverk kunde operationaliseras och undersökas. Detta gj

The fastest rising group of entrepreneurs is represented by females, yet entrepreneurship is still considered a male-dominated industry. Female entrepreneurs have to deal with gender-stereotypical challenges, due to the overrepresentation of men in entrepreneurship. Contemporarily, the concept of female entrepreneurship is understudied and scarce, specifically the entrepreneurial identity. This t

Dysexecutive Questionniare (DEX) är ett av de mest vanligt förekommande skattningsformulären som mäter exekutivt fungerande i vardagen, och administreras oftast till patienter med förvärvad hjärnskada. Eftersom individer med förvärvad hjärnskada riskerar att lida av nedsatt självmedvetenhet av brister i exekutiva funktioner, är skalan tillgänglig både som självskattning och informantskattning. DenThe Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) is one of the most commonly used rating scales of executive functioning in daily life and is most frequently administered to patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). Because individuals with ABI are at risk of suffering from impaired self-awareness of executive function deficits, the scale is available both as a self-assessment and in an independent-rating ve

Collecting enough labeled images to train an artificial neural network (ANN) is a common struggle since the process is tedious, time consuming and expensive. CellaVision, a company that creates analyzers that automate the process of finding and pre-classifying abnormal blood cells using machine learning, runs into this problem regularly. When new generations of analyzers are being produced, the im

Although states have begun to regulate influencer activities in areas such as advertising and consumer protection, that is not the case in tax law. This research analyses various Tax Authority’s guidelines on the matter and concludes that the rules already in place in most jurisdictions are applied to influencers’ activities. This demonstrates that a tax system with solid foundations can adapt to

Spelreklam utgör idag en majoritet av all marknadsföring som sker. Måttfullhetskravet i spellagen utgör ett krav att spelaktörer ska iaktta måttfullhet vid marknadsföring av spel till konsumenter. Måtfullhetskravet har idag en vägledning som innebär rekommendationer och riktlinjer. Måttfullhetskravet ska förbli flexibelt i spellagen och vid sanktioner ska en helhetsbedömning göras.

Computer aided pathology is becoming more and more of a requirement within pathology due to increased demand of individualised treatments and personalised medicine. Because of the advance of digital pathology in recent years, where a high resolution camera acquire images of microscope slides, pathologists can now assess tissue samples in digital images. This has enabled automatic assessment of pat

This master’s thesis evaluates the feasibility of using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the effects of high temperature heat treatments of a coated soft magnetic composite (SMC) sample. SMCs are an increasingly competitive magnetic powder material which finds use in for instance electric motors. A heat treatment following compaction for SMCs is an essential part of manufact
