Event-based control is a promising concept for the design of resource-efficient feedback systems, where events such as sampling, actuation, and data transmissions are triggered reactively based on monitored control performance rather than a periodic timer. In this thesis, we investigate how sampling and communication events should be triggered to fully exploit the potential of event-based control

Cancer is the second leading cause of death among both men and women worldwide. During therecent years, three-dimensional (3D) tumour models have gained increasing interest as a pre-clinicalplatform for screening of compounds for potential use in cancer therapy. It is becoming recognizedthat two-dimensional (2D) cell culturing, in which cells are grown on physiologically irrelevant flatsurfaces, a

Identification of prostate gold fiducial markers in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is challenging when CT images are not available, due to misclassifications from intra-prostatic calcifications. It is also a time consuming task and automated identification methods have been suggested as an improvement for both objectives. Multi-echo gradient echo (MEGRE) images have been utilized for manu

Today's societal challenges require social innovative processes of co-creating knowledge. As a central actor in knowledge creation, universities can effectively contribute to transformative social innovation by instituting organisational and institutional change. The paper analyses how different strategies, policy mechanisms and incentive structures affect the long-term sustainability of social in

AbstractBackground: Affective and anxiety disorders have a higher occurrence in older people with intellectual disability (ID) than in the general population. However, there is a lack of research into this ageing group from the point of view of their health panorama, use of medicines, healthcare utilisation and social welfare support. This thesis is part of a Swedish national population project on

Changes in forest cover have a strong effect on climate through the alteration of surface biogeophysical and biogeochemical properties that affect energy, water and carbon exchange with the atmosphere. To quantify biogeophysical and biogeochemical effects of deforestation in a consistent setup, nine Earth system models (ESMs) carried out an idealized experiment in the framework of the Coupled Mode

This research report is a compilation of essays written by guest researchers from Central Asia who spent four to twelve months at the Department of Sociology of Law, Lund University, and conducted research on various topics pertaining to legal cultures, governance and business environments in Central Asia. These guest research stays (secondments) took place in the framework of the EU-funded projec

From a social equality representation perspective, advertising should ideally mirror themulticultural composition at the national market, because mass-mediated identity representationsmay act as cultural resources for those with marginalised identities. To investigate the observanceto such an ideal in a context where the ethnic and racial composition of the population saw a rapidchange, this artic
