Framtidens människa? Ett medialt drama om bioteknologi

Vilken framtida människa kommer modern bioteknik att leda till? Den massmediala kristallkulan bjuder på åtminstone två möjliga scenarion. Å ena sidan presenteras en mardröm, biotekniken, med fosterdiagnostik och kloning i spetsen, kommer att bidra till ett samhälle där människovärdet har urholkats och endast ”perfekta människor” har rätt att leva. Å andra sidan visar kristallkulan en vision om ett

An Innovative Bioenergy System In Action

After the oil crises in the 1970s, the local government in the town of Enköping in Sweden was cautioned by the local Swedish military regiment to shift towards domestic energy supplies rather than imported fossil fuels. During the 1980s the local energy companies investigated opportunities in bioenergy. In the 1990s the local energy companies and local government developed an innovative bioenergy

A Practical Example Using VR in the Assessment of Brain Injury

Virtual Reality (VR) as a complementary tool for medical practitioners in the assessment and rehabilitation of people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is discussed. A pilot-study has been undertaken on a prototype VR assessment tool. The design involved nine occupational therapists with expertise in the care of traumatic brain injured patients and one (computer experienced) patient

Adaptive Control of Linear Systems with Poles in the Closed LHP with Constrained Inputs

The paper proposes an indirect adaptive control strategy fo possible non minimum phase systems having poles in the closed LHP. The adaptive control is based on a control law for systems with amplitude constrained inputs.

Development of a Modelica Compiler using JastAdd

This paper describes experiences from implementing key parts of a compiler for Modelica, an object-oriented language supporting declarative modeling and simulation of complex physical systems. Our implementation uses the attribute-grammar based tool JastAdd. In particular, we discuss the implementation of Modelica name analysis which is highly context-dependent, type analysis which is based on str

Structuring factors for macroinvertebrate communities and the importance for ecosystem processing

Aquatic macroinvertebrates play important roles in our ecosystems and are essential for the ecosystem processing. An improved knowledge of structuring factors, such as competition and predation, and the way in which they operates in the macroinvertebrate community is crucial for our understanding of not only the macroinvertebrates but also the ecosystem in general. Furthermore, today our ecosystem
