A frame of reference is presented intended to capture conditions that influence the usability of information technologies, primarily computers, in a society. The frame of reference includes four components that influence one another: 1. External physical conditions, 2. Economic resources (including other technological resources), 3. Social actors and their interests, and 4. the Understanding, con

We present the PalCom Object Notation, a textual data representation format for communication between internet of things which support binary and textual data. The format does not require parsing of user data (or the “payload”) and is thus efficient to use also for large binary values such as digital images, audio and video as well as for short textual values. These can be mixed in the same messag

Sverige framställs i internationella undersökningar som det mest sekulariserade landet i världen. Samtidigt har religion kommit att bli alltmer synligt i samhället på ett sätt som leder till nya och komplicerade frågor. Den här boken vill ge en introduktion i hur sociologiska perspektiv bättre kan hjälpa oss förstå och förklara religion i dagens Sverige. Fokus i boken ligger framförallt de uttryck

One of the key steps in network-on-chip (NoC) based design is spatial mapping of cores and routing of the communication between those cores. Known solutions to the mapping and routing problem first map cores onto a topology and then route communication, using separated and possibly conflicting objective functions. In this paper we present a unified single-objective algorithm, called unified mappin

The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Task 41: Solar Energy and Architecture gathers researchers, academics and practicing architects from 14 countries in a project pursuing the objectives to identify and address obstacles that architects are facing in solar design. Part of this three-year project is the development of an international survey -intended for practicing architects- addressing a bro

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nervskador i händer och armar utgör ett stort kliniskt problem, och resultatet efter en avskärningsskada är ofta nedslående, med dålig känsel, svaga muskler och ofta problem med köldöverkänslighet och smärta. Såväl skyddskänsel som funktionell känsel påverkas. Skyddskänseln är viktig för att undvika skador, medan funktionell känsel är det samspel mellan hud, muskler, leFollowing the transection and repair of major nerve trunks in the forearm, the functional outcome is influenced by mechanisms in the peripheral, as well as in the central nervous system. In the present thesis the interest is focused on assessment of the outcome after nerve repair, central nervous factors influencing the outcome, and sense substitution to compensate for sensory loss. A new model in

Measurement of antibody titres to the human polyomaviruses BK and JC has for many years had to rely on Hemagglutination inhibition. In recent years, viral serology based on virus-like particles (VLPs) in enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) has become widely used for a variety of viruses. We sought to establish a modern method for serological diagnosis of BK and JC viruses, by using purified VLPs containing

Background: Pichia stipitis xylose reductase (Ps-XR) has been used to design Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that are able to ferment xylose. One example is the industrial S. cerevisiae xyloseconsuming strain TMB3400, which was constructed by expression of P. stipitis xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase and overexpression of endogenous xylulose kinase in the industrial S. cerevisiae strain
