  1. 1. Demographics and Future Needs for Public Long Term Care and Services among the Elderly in Sweden : The Need for Planning

    Författare :Ilija Batljan; Mats Thorslund; Joakim Palme; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ageing; planning; demographic projections; health status; mortality; educational composition; last years of life; Older people and ageing; Äldre och åldrande; socialt arbete; Social Work;

    Sammanfattning : Long term care and social services (LTCaS) for older people are an important part of the Scandinavian welfare state. The fast growing number of elderly people in Sweden has caused many concerns about increases in future needs (and particularly costs) of age-related social programs such as LTCaS. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Planning in the 'New Reality' : Strategic Elements and Approaches in Swedish Municipalities

    Författare :Charlotta Fredriksson; Göran Cars; Raine Mäntysalo; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :planning theory; planning practice; municipality; region; comprehensive planning; strategic planning; forum-arena-court; case study; planeringsteori; planeringens praktik; kommun; region; översiktsplanering; strategisk planering; forum-arena-court; fallstudie;

    Sammanfattning : Central to this dissertation is a discourse in contemporary Swedish planning practice referred to as the ‘new reality’. The name of this discourse reflects the notion that planning practice interprets the conditions of today as differing from those which occurred previously. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Planning in Inhabited Environments : Human-Aware Task Planning and Activity Recognition

    Författare :Marcello Cirillo; Lars Karlsson; Alessandro Saffiotti; Fredricio Pecora; Nau Dana; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-aware planning; planning under uncertainty; activity recognition; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer and Systems Science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Promised some decades ago by researchers in artificial intelligence and robotics as an imminent breakthrough in our everyday lives, a robotic assistant that could work with us in our home and our workplace is a dream still far from being fulfilled. The work presented in this thesis aims at bringing this future vision a little closer to realization. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Robust optimization of radiation therapy accounting for geometric uncertainty

    Författare :Albin Fredriksson; Anders Forsgren; Timothy C. Y. Chan; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; intensity-modulated proton therapy; uncertainty; robust planning; setup error; range error; intensity-modulated radiation therapy; multicriteria optimization;

    Sammanfattning : Geometric errors may compromise the quality of radiation therapy treatments. Optimization methods that account for errors can reduce their effects.The first paper of this thesis introduces minimax optimization to account for systematic range and setup errors in intensity-modulated proton therapy.

  7. 5. Real-time Locating Systems for indoor applications : the methodological customization approach

    Författare :Bartosz Jachimczyk; Wlodek Kulesza; Alfonso Bahillo Martínez; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accuracy and Precision; Angle of Arrival; Fingerprinting Method; Indoor Localization; Indoor Positioning System; Multi-Sensor System; Neural Network; Radio Frequency Identification - RFID; Real Time Locating System; Received Signal Strength; RFID Network Planning; Scene Analysis; Sensors Arrangement; System Customization; Uncertainty; Uncertainty Map; User Driven Design;

    Sammanfattning : Emerging wireless technologies increase the potential and effectiveness of wireless Real-time Locating Systems (RTLSs), which precisely localize the position, and identify things and people in real time. Among many applications, RTLSs are widely used in the industrial sector for indoor logistics and safety applications. LÄS MER
