Autonomous robots must operate reliably and predictably in uncertain environ-ments. Throughout the robot software development cycle, robot operators and de-velopers must be able to specify their safety and functional requirements reliablyand explicitly. To this end, we propose to use Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs)to address their needs. To show the applicability and effectiveness of this approac
Microfluidic flows feature typically fully three-dimensional velocity fields. However, often the optical access for measurements is limited. Astigmatism or defocus particle tracking velocimetry is a technique that enables the 3D position determination of individual particles by the analysis of astigmatic/defocused particle images. The classification and position determination of particles is a tas
Objective Blood cell populations, including red blood cells (RBC) unique to the extremely preterm (EPT) infant, are potentially lost due to frequent clinical blood sampling during neonatal intensive care. Currently, neonatal RBC population heterogeneity is not described by measurement of total haemoglobin or haematocrit. We therefore aimed to describe a subpopulation of large RBCs with hyper high
It has been argued that the fundamental cause of Africa’s current relative poverty is a lack of pro-growth institutions deriving either from the colonial system, the period of slavery, or from particular geographic or population characteristics. This article takes a fresh look at estimates of African country incomes. It subjects the available datasets to tests of accuracy, reliability, and volatil
LUPREP är ett tvärvetenskapligt centrum där forskare från hela universitetet samlas för att tillsammans förklara, förstå och förbättra samhällets beredskap och resiliens. Här möts expertis inom allt från risk- och krishantering, psykologiskt försvar och underrättelseanalys till kritisk infrastruktur, civilsamhällets roll och innovation inom totalförsvaret. Genom att koppla samman forskare, myndighLUPREP is an interdisciplinary center where researchers from across the university come together to explain, understand, and improve society’s preparedness and resilience. The center brings together expertise in everything from risk and crisis management, psychological defense, and intelligence analysis to critical infrastructure, the role of civil society, and innovation within total defense.

Humanistiska och teologiska fakulteterna bedriver en bred och varierad verksamhet inom forskning och utbildning som i vid mening syftar till att förstå människan som kulturell och samhällelig varelse. Vi forskar och utbildar inom områden som behandlar kulturmöten, språk, historia, etik, religion, filosofi, konst, musik, litteratur och annat som formar och definierar kulturerna.The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology provide research and education in a broad range of subjects, ranging from cultural sciences, history, philosophy, archaeology, languages and literature to theology and religious studies.
Introduction: Platelet transfusions are often used when thrombocytopenic patients are facing a central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, but their use has been up to debate. Point-of-care devices such as thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and platelet aggregometry (Multiplate) better reflect in vivo haemostasis than routine coagulation tests. Aim of the study was to investigate the effects of platelet tran
Our research group on paediatric haematology is focused on bleeding- and coagulation disorders in children, in particular on haemophilia and venous thrombosis. Haemophilia A and B are hereditary, X chromosomal recessive bleeding disorders caused by deficiency or absence of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX) in the blood. The general aim of this part of the research program is to improve
In diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients. Cell membranes hinder the diffusional motion and thereby contribute to the contrast in dMRI. Thus, the diffusion of water molecules is used a probe of tissue microstructure. Data from dMRI is often analysed using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which yields image biomarkers that reflec
Background: Previous studies have reported an increased fracture risk after bariatric surgery. Objective: To investigate the association between different bariatric surgery procedures and fracture risk. Methods: Incidence rates and hazard ratios for fracture events were analysed in the Swedish Obese Subjects study; an ongoing, nonrandomized, prospective, controlled intervention study. Hazard ratio
Sweden's ATMP ecosystem is rapidly expanding, solidifying its place as a key player in Europe. Currently ranking among the top three countries among the EU9 for identified therapeutic ATMP companies, Sweden's strategic investments are further reinforcing its leadership (MSC 2020). This includes ongoing initiatives to establish industrial-scale ATMP manufacturing capabilities, enhancing the country
The searching of saturation effects in inclusive and exclusive eA collisions is reviewed. In particular, we present a comparison between the linear and non-linear predictions for the nuclear structure functions as well as for the Deep Virtual Compton Scattering and vector meson production in future eA colliders.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether consumer behavior in grocery stores could be affected through nudging by rearranging the product placement and putting up suggestive messages to customers. It also investigated whether nudging is more effective when targeting short-term versus long-term consequences of consumer behavior, as their abstract levels are processed differently. It spe
