a) he got a very serious heart attack
b) he was unexpectedly divorced from Luleå University of Technology (the university of his heart in 43 years)
However, also under these heavy conditions he continued to be very loyal to the university and finalized the following three PhDs during this dramatic year 2018 with main basis his home Hotel Infinity where these students lived and studied:
