The province of Halland has the highest life expectancy in Sweden. The recent health surveys in Sweden points to a noticeable better health in the county of Halland compared to Sweden as a whole. From a public health point of view, it is of interest to probe the distribution of the self-rated health among socio- demographic groups to explore if inequality in health exists even in this healthy population. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to analyze the distribution of obesity and psychosocial health in the largest municipality in Halland compared with the average for the province as a whole. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: A simple random sample of 8,429 individuals was selected from a national survey that covered all individuals in the 18–84-year age group. A postal survey was thereafter conducted (The Statistics Sweden and The Public Health Agency in Sweden). General health Questionnaire (GHQ12) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were taken in the analyses. The statistically significant socio geographical differences in health were presented as maps using GIS-software (ArcMap 10.2). Analysis of the data was related to local key codes where densely populated areas with a higher response rate were assessed as the most statistically relevant to processing.

SCC ideate a data-centered society aimed at improving efficiency by automating and optimizing activities and utilities. Information and communication technology along with Internet of Things enables data collection and with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) situation awareness can be obtained to feed the SCC actors with enriched knowledge. This paper describes AI perspectives in SCC and gives an overview of AI-based technologies used in traffic to enable road vehicle automation and smart traffic control. Perception, smart traffic control and driver modeling are described along with open research challenges and standardization to help introduce advanced driver assistance systems and automated vehicle functionality in traffic. To fully realize the potential of SCC, to create a holistic view on a city level, availability of data from different stakeholders is necessary. Further, though AI technologies Citation: Englund, C.

Till Karin och Oscar… On the origin of the Fäboliden orogenic gold deposit, northern Sweden Abstract A new promising ore province, the Gold Line, southwest of the well-known Skellefte District, northern Sweden, is currently under exploration. This province hosts, so far, one operating mine, the Svartliden Au mine, and the recently closed Blaiken Zn-Pb-Au-Ag mine. The largest known gold deposit, the hypozonal Fäboliden orogenic gold deposit, in the area was recently granted mining permits. The deposit holds c. 54 Mt at 1.2 g/t Au, with a planned production of 4.6 Mt of ore/year. The mineralization at Fäboliden is commonly hosted in arsenopyrite-bearing quartz-veins, within a roughly N-S striking, steeply dipping shear zone in amphibolite facies volcano- sedimentary host rocks. The narrow belt of supracrustal rocks is surrounded by late- to post- orogenic Revsund granite. The gold is fine-grained (2–40 m) and closely associated with arsenopyrite-löllingite and stibnite. Gold is found in fractures and as inclusions in the arsenopyrite-löllingite. Gold is also seen as free grains in the silicate matrix of the host rock.

Box 700 FI-65101 Vaasa Number of pages Language Finland 50 English Title of publication Distribution Center Location Analysis For Nordic Countries By Using Network Optimization Tools Abstract Many supply chain and logistics related location decisions are driven by demand. This paper analyses population densities in Sweden, Finland, Norway and partly Denmark and analyses how a minimum impedance approach would set up the distribution center (DC) locations. For each scenario, travel time maps are generated. Firstly, each country is analyzed separately and 1...5 DC cases are analyzed. Then a merged Nordic area is introduced and a similar approach is used to set up 1…6 DCs. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to study how the large population of Umeå or Vaasa should be increased in order to make the top five in the Nordic level. The results show distribution centers could be formed in the case of population driven demand products. This also gives insight into how the results can vary when changing perspective from national analysis to Nordic level.
