This doctoral thesis is comprised of five parts which deal with different signal processing problems in ECG-based characterization of atrial arrhythmias. Such characterization requires that the ventricular activity has first been cancelled in the ECG. In Part I, a new method for cancellation of the QRST complexes in recordings with atrial fibrillation is presented. The method is based on a spatiot
Current optical space telescopes rely upon silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to detect and image the incoming photons. The performance of a CCD detector depends on its ability to transfer electrons through the silicon efficiently, so that the signal from every pixel may be read out through a single amplifier. This process of electron transfer is highly susceptible to the effects of solar proto
PURPOSE: Several studies have indicated that broad genomic characterization of childhood cancer provides diagnostically and/or therapeutically relevant information in selected high-risk cases. However, the extent to which such characterization offers clinically actionable data in a prospective broadly inclusive setting remains largely unexplored.METHODS: We implemented prospective whole-genome seq
Popular Abstract in Swedish Att mäta det icke observerbara: Vilka chefer väljs till toppositioner? Rekrytering och urval av chefer präglas till stor del av informationsosäkerhet. Det är svårt att utvärdera chefers prestationer, då deras ansvarsområde består av så många aspekter, då de behöver stor frihet i sitt arbete och därför inte kan kontrolleras alltför mycket och då deras arbete påverkas avRecruitment and selection of managers is to a large degree characterized by information uncertainty. Managers’ performance is difficult to evaluate, as their responsibility consists of so many different aspects, as they may not always be observed due to need for freedom of action and as their work is affected by factors in their environment, which are outside of their control. Also, selection deci
This thesis deals with Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), an effective field theory for the strong force used to describe meson interactions. The work done can be split in two parts. The first one is on ChPT in its standard formulation. This theory has been very successful so far in describing low energetic processes. However, it is still not entirely clear how much it can be trusted for precision
Background: Eating disorders (ED) are severe psychiatric conditions, characterized by decreased quality of life and high mortality. However, only a minority of patients with ED seek care and very few receive treatment. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has the potential to increase access to evidence-based treatments. Aims: The aims of the present study were to (1) develop and
Context. The first release of astrometric data from Gaia is expected in 2016. It will contain the mean stellar positions and magnitudes from the first year of observations. For more than 100 000 stars in common with the HIPPARCOS Catalogue it will be possible to compute very accurate proper motions due to the time difference of about 24 years between the two missions. This Hundred Thousand Proper
Autochthonous blockfield mantles may indicate alpine surfaces that have not been glacially eroded. These surfaces may therefore serve as markers against which to determine Quaternary erosion volumes in adjacent glacially eroded sectors. To explore these potential utilities, chemical weathering features, erosion rates, and regolith residence durations of mountain blockfields are investigated in the
The global terrestrial carbon cycle plays a pivotal role in regulating the atmospheric composition of greenhouse gases. Currently it is responsible for removing 25-30% of our emissions every year, an important ecosystem service that may not persist in the long term. Global warming tends to decrease the CO2 sink capacity of the world’s oceans and ecosystems leading to a larger fraction of our emiss
Popular Abstract in Swedish Stärkelsemikrosfärer undersökta i denna avhandling är avsedda för kontrollerad tillförsel av läkemedel som utförs i form av depåpreparat eller slow release-former. Stärkelsemikrosfär är en beredningsform anpassad för inkapsling av protein i terapeutiskt syfte. För att uppnå en kontrollerad frisättning kan stärkelsemikrosfärer täckas av poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PStarch microsphere is a dosage form suitable for the encapsulation of protein drugs. The starch microspheres investigated in this thesis are intended for release of the drug in a pre-designed way, or in controlled manner. For this purpose the starch microspheres can be coated by poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) film, which is a release controlling. The term microsphere quality is complicated an
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvecklingen av laserpulser med extremt hög intensitet har försett forskare med ett verktyg som gör det möjligt att studera vad som händer då dessa pulser växelverkar med olika slags materia. Då växelverkan sker med en gas kan till exempel ultrakorta pulser från ultraviolett till röntgenområdet genereras som övertoner till laserpulsen. Dessa övertoner kan göras kortare The availability of short-pulse, high-intensity lasers has opened doors to new areas in atomic and plasma physics. The short pulses (a few femtoseconds), that are available today, enable unprecedented temporal measurements, while the high peak power accessible (several terawatts) allows physicists to study the interaction between light and relativistic plasmas. The aim of this work was twofold: i)
Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an emerging technique with the potential to quantify properties of tissue microstructure that may not be observable using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). In order to help design DKI studies and improve interpretation of DKI results, we employed statistical power analysis to characterize three aspects of variability in four DKI parameters; the mean diffusivity, f
In 2015 the EU introduced Directive 2015/720 on the reduction of the consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags creating the first transnational agreement on plastic bag issue in the world. This Directive sets the scope within which Member States will design their own policies in order to reach a significant reduction in the plastic bag consumption over the following years. Greece is one of t
Klimatförändringar förväntas öka frekvensen och intensiteten av klimatrelaterade risker, vilket i sin tur kan leda till så kallade Natech-olyckor, definierade som industriella olyckor där klimatrisker orsakar sekundära teknologiska händelser. Svenska industriverksamheter som hanterar farliga ämnen omfattas av Sevesolagstiftningen, där krav finns på att beakta sådana risker. Samtidigt är Natech-risClimate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, which in turn may lead to Natech accidents, defined as industrial accidents in which natural hazards trigger secondary technological events. Swedish industrial establishments that handle hazardous substances are subject to the Seveso legislation, which requires such risks to be taken into account. At the same ti
Uppsatsen undersöker huruvida användningen av standardavtal vid offentlig upphandling av entreprenader inom Sverige innebär en inskränkning av den grundläggande unionsrättsliga friheten att tillhandahålla tjänster inom EU som säkerställs genom artikel 56 i Fördraget om Europeiska Unionens Funktionssätt. Entreprenadrätten är i Sverige oreglerad i lag och regleras istället genom standardavtal utformThis paper examines whether the use of standard agreements within public procurement of contractors in Sweden constitutes a restriction of the freedom to provide services within EU, which is ensured through article 56 in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Contract-law is not regulated through law within Sweden but is instead regulated through standard agreements developed by an i
The ICT sector’s greenhouse gas emissions are comparable to those of the aviation industry, and the actors within the sector have a responsibility to reduce these in order to help combat global warming. A relatively new area of concern is the climate impact of software due to energy consumption. For example, AI has been acknowledged as an emissions-hungry technology because of the large computatio
Memory impairment and prominent hippocampal atrophy are the most recognisable features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It has been known that hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures support memory processes. However, specific function of each MTL subfield remains to be elucidated. Not all MTL subfields are uniformly affected by AD pathology and the spread of AD pathology fol
Scalability, pay-as-you-go, and flexibility are some factors why more and more organizations are utilizing a cloud environment for their IT systems. Specifically, the trend is towards multi-cloud, where different cloud providers manage different applications and services. This environment is however a lot less deterministic than an on premise solution. For example, if an application from one cloud
