Abstract in Undetermined Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements are used in the diagnostics of osteoporosis. However, the variation in the thickness and composition of the overlying soft tissue causes significant errors to the bone QUS parameters and diminishes the reliability of the technique in vivo. Recently, the dual frequency ultrasound (DFUS) technique was introduced to minimize the erro
As computing becomes more interactive and as networked applications need special system support, it has become increasingly important to manage network resources. An important part of the management lies within monitoring network behaviour. It is important for many applications to be able to estimate system performance in order to select appropriate encoding schemes, adaptation, buffering sizes et
Automation in aerospace industry is often in the form of dedicated solutions and focused on processes like drilling, riveting etc. The common industrial robot has due to limitations in positional accuracy and stiffness often been unsuitable for aerospace manufacturing. One major cost driver in aircraft manufacturing is manual assembly and the bespoke tooling needed. Assembly tasks frequently invol
In the 2000s, Sweden has experienced a veritable explosion of feminist performing arts. Although feminist actions, theatre, shows and performance existed previously, feminist events with a distinct political and activist approach have emerged strongly in the current decade. Feminist culture festivals are held in rapid succession, and feminist performance, dance and theatre occasionally attract bro
How do ’clandestine’ asylum seekers experience the Swedish welfare state? How are they located in relation to welfare institutions, civil society, notions of nationhood and gender regimes? My research project is based on an ethnographic study with ‘clandestine’ asylum seekers (rejected asylum seekers who stay in the country and ‘hide’ from police and authorities to avoid deportation) and asylum r
This paper draws on the metaphor of ‘magic’ to explore the role of dialogue conferences and subsequent activities as a tool for organizational development and change. It is argued that the magic metaphor is a useful means for critically assessing the role of dialogue conferences in developmental processes, as magic is essentially double-edged in nature. On the one hand, magic is an activity wherei
High performance implementations of unary functions are important in many applications e.g. in the wireless communication area. This paper shows the development and VLSI implementation of unary functions like the logarithmic and exponential function, by using a novel approximation methodology based on parabolic synthesis, which is compared to the well known CORDIC algorithm. Both designs are synth
Paper presented at Swedish Anthropological Association Annual Meeting, Lund, April 2015, panel on Business ethics. Abstract: Under the influence of U.S. government regulations, new anti-bribery laws and embarrassing corruption scandals, major global corporations have realized that unethical conduct may affect their reputations and ultimately, their profits. This development has given rise to a new
