Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Grupp B streptokocker (GBS) Grupp B streptokocker (GBS), på latin Streptococcus agalactiae, är det vanligaste fyndet vid bakteriella infektioner, som blodförgiftning (sepsis), hjärnhinneinflammation (meningit) och lunginflammation (pneumoni) hos nyfödda barn. Sjukdomsförloppet är ofta våldsamt och livshotande. Sedan 1970-talet har det skett enABSTRACT Streptococci constitute a heterogeneous group of Gram-positive bacteria, divided into different serological groups on the basis of antigenic differences in a cell wall-associated carbohydrate. This thesis describes related surface proteins expressed by bacteria in two of these groups, the group B streptococcus (GBS) and the group A streptococcus (GAS). GBS is an encapsulated bacterium th

This paper focuses on system-level design methods for low energy consumption in architectures employing variable-voltage processors. Two lowenergy design flows are introduced. The first, Speed-up and Stretch, is based on the performance vs. low-energy design trade-off. The second, Eye-on-Energy, is based on energy sensitive scheduling and assignment techniques. Both of the approaches presented in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) definieras som nedsatt glukostolerans av varierande svårighets¬grad som upptäcks under graviditet och som oftast försvinner efter förlossning. GDM innebär ökad risk för såväl moder som barn. Kvinnor med GDM föder ofta stora barn och har ökad risk för komplikationer i samband med förlossningen. GDM-prevalensen varierar avsevärt mellan olika popuGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the genetic and immunological risk factors that increase susceptibility to GDM. First, we investigated whether autoimmuni

Objective: To compare the adverse event (AE)-related discontinuation rate with celecoxib vs. diclofenac when given to reduce joint pain associated with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) in elderly patients. Methods: This was a double-blind, randomized, multicentre, parallel-group, 1-year comparison of celecoxib 200 mg once daily and diclofenac 50 mg twice daily in 925 patients with OA aged >/= 60 ye

When developing systems for indoor navigation it is important that the user can be led between rooms through doors and openings, and is not told to go through walls. In order to provide this navigation assistance there needs to exist a representation of the indoor environment. One alternative for this is a navigation graph, which—in this thesis—is an undirected graph that connects rooms such that

Boendet har en stark koppling till äldres livskvalitet. Utformningen av äldres boendemiljö är viktig då de spenderar mycket tid i och i nära anslutning till boendet. Boendemiljön påverkar hur trygg den boende känner sig där exempelvis hala golv eller dålig belysning kan skapa en känsla av otrygghet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och antalet invånare över 65 väntas öka från 1,9 miljoner 2014 till 3 milThe living environment has a strong connection with elderly's quality of life. The design of the elderly housing environment is important as they spend a lot of time in and near their home. The housing environment affects how safe the residents feel, for example slippery floors or poor lighting can create an insecurity. Sweden's population is increasing and the population of those over 65

The responsibility to protect is a principle formulated in 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Since then, it has gradually been developed on the basis of different acts and documents that were influenced by inter-state relations and the agreements concerning human rights. This thesis attempts to explain what the responsibility to protect actually implies a

I takt med att världen blir mer medveten om hur människans beteende påverkar jordens klimat, ställs också högre miljömål. Ett hållbart energisystem är en del av dessa miljömål och att övergå till enbart förnybara energikällor är ett verktyg för att uppnå dessa. Övergången till endast förnybara energikällor riskerar dock att medföra problem, bland annat så kallad effektbrist. Effektbrist är inget nAs the world becomes more aware of how human behavior affects the earth’s climate, higher environmental goals are also set. A sustainable energy system is one part of these environmental goals, and switching to only renewable energy is a tool to reach such goals. However, a system with only renewable energy can be vulnerable at time periods of reduced production of electricity, with a subsequent r

This paper examines the development of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) meta-debate in Sweden before and after the release of ChatGPT. From the perspective of agenda-setting theory, we propose that it is an elite outside of party politics that is leading the debate – i.e. that the politicians are relatively silent when it comes to this rapid development. We also suggest that the debate has become

Predicting live birth after the first IVF/ICSI treatment is challenging, as many factors may interact to affect IVF/ICSI outcomes. Adenomyosis is one factor that impacts live birth rates. Machine learning algorithms have been shown valuable for detecting complex dependencies and predicting outcomes in different clinical settings. We aimed to develop a prediction model for live birth after IVF/ICSI

In this paper we investigate a system for tracking the motion of box jellyfish tripedalia cystophora in a special test setup. The goal is to measure the motor response of the animal given certain visual stimuli. The approach is based on tracking the special sensory structures – the rhopalia – of the box jellyfish from high-speed video sequences. We have focused on a realtime system with simple bui

On Friday June 10 2016, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at Lund University arranged a seminar devoted to explore refugee experiences among Syrians in the Öresund region. Organizers were CMES researchers Dalia Abdelhady and Joshka Wessels. Lund University and international researchers in law, religious studies, refugee studies, environmental studies, urban sociology and anthropology pa

Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who fail to complete planned treatment with R-CHOP due to toxicity are sparsely described. We investigated the extent of failure to complete treatment (six cycles or more, or three cycles + RT for patients with stage I disease) with R-CHOP for reasons unrelated to non-response, the determinants of such failure and the outcome among these patients
