A fully integrated instrument for cereal grain quality assessment is presented. Color video images of grains fed onto a belt are digitized. These images are then segmented into kernel entities, which are subject to the analysis. The number of degrees of freedom for each such object is decreased to a suitable level for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) processing. Feed- forward ANN's with one hidden

In recent years, the combination of the digitization of the field of pathology and increased computational power has led to a big increase in research of computer-aided diagnostics using systems based on artificial intelligence (AI). This includes detection and classification of prostate cancer, where several studies have shown great promise in automated prostate cancer grading using deep learning

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition with mortality rates between 30-50%. Although in vitro models replicate some aspects of ARDS, small and large animal models remain the primary research tools due to the multifactorial nature of the disease. When using these animal models, histology serves as the gold standard method to confirm lung injury and exclude other

In the last two decades, health promotion strategies have gained significant attention in end-of-life care contexts—engendering greater focus on community and informal care in policy and healthcare spheres in liberal welfare-states. The emergence of health-promoting palliative care (HPPC) in the Nordic context presents a unique challenge to the abiding social contract of care which emphasizes the

Using electronic health records data and machine learning to guide future decisions needs to address challenges, including 1) long/short-term dependencies and 2) interactions between diseases and interventions. Bidirectional transformers have effectively addressed the first challenge. Here we tackled the latter challenge by masking one source (e.g., ICD10 codes) and training the transformer to pre

Patent citations added by examiners are often used as indicators of technological impact and knowledge flows, despite various criticisms. In this study we analyze the distribution of examiner patent citations according to patent characteristics in order to show their limitations. According to our findings, the number of applicant citations included is dependent on the science-base of the technolog

ObjectivesThe objective was to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) in patients with chest pain at the emergency department (ED), using information that is widely available early in the ED assessment.MethodsIn a cohort of 24,511 consecutive adult ED patients with chest pain from 5 Swedish hospitals, OMI cases were identif

Renewable diesel fuels may reduce greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter compared to fossil diesel, but the toxicity of their combustion products remains unclear. This study assessed pulmonary effects of renewable diesel exhaust particles in female C57BL/6NTac mice after single intratracheal instillation (6, 18, or 54 µg/mouse). Particles were generated from renewable fuels (rapeseed meth

Denna rapport analyserar framväxten av hundvänlig turism i Sverige och belyser dess betydelse för besöksnäringens utveckling. Studien visar att hunden i allt högre grad betraktas som en familjemedlem, vilket påverkar resenärers beteenden, val av destination och konsumtionsmönster. Hundägare utgör en reseaktiv och kommersiellt attraktiv målgrupp som främst reser inom Sverige och efterfrågar naturbaThis report analyses the emergence of dog-friendly tourism in Sweden and highlights its significance for the hospitality industry's development. The study shows that dogs are increasingly regarded as family members, influencing travellers’ behaviour, destination choices, and consumption patterns. Dog owners represent a travel-active and commercially attractive target group that primarily travels d

At the emergency department, it is important to quickly and accurately identify patients at risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). One of the main tools for detecting AMI is the electrocardiogram (ECG), which can be difficult to interpret manually. There is a long history of applying machine learning algorithms to ECGs, but such algorithms are quite data hungry, and correctly labeled high-qual

Ethiopia achieved a remarkable episode of agricultural intensification from the mid-1990s to the late-2010s, yet the political mechanisms that enabled this transformation—and the distributional and environmental consequences that followed—remain insufficiently understood.

Recent studies of conceptual metaphors in a legal context have often dealt with the power of embodiment. However, the connotations of culturally originated metaphors could be different when they appear in laws and regulations. In particular, the role of metaphor when the legislator wishes to define intention in hybrid organizations is investigated here. The case studied is how a conceptual metapho
