Programming is a cognitively demanding exercise. In particular, today’s software development requires a collective effort of programmers and the orchestration of a complex programming infrastructure. As disruptive technologies emerge, e.g., AI and quantum computing, the programming practice is undergoing a change, facing an uncertain future that we may not be able to accurately predict but can env
Essential tremor (ET) is characterized by bilateral upper limb postural and/or kinetic tremor, but also cognitive deficits. Tremor in ET, as well as aspects of cognitive deficits associated with ET, have been suggested to be linked to dysfunction in the cerebello-thalamo-cerebral circuit. In ET patients with disabling and medically intractable motor symptoms, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is effect
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic testing is essential for disease surveillance and test-trace-isolate efforts. We aimed to investigate if residential area sociodemographic characteristics and test accessibility were associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing rates.METHODS: We included 426 224 patient-initiated COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction tests from Uppsala County in Sweden from 24 Ju
With Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3), new and improved astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic measurements for 1.8 billion stars have become available. Alongside this wealth of new data, however, there are challenges in finding efficient and accurate computational methods for their analysis. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using machine learning regression as a method of extracting bas
Light-level geolocators were used to record the annual migration cycles of black terns Chlidonias niger (9 individuals, 11 journeys) and common terns Sterna hirundo (7 individuals, 11 journeys) breeding in southernmost Sweden. The black terns used two different non-breeding (Oct–Mar) regions along the Atlantic coast of Africa, either north of the equator between Senegal and Liberia (3 individuals)
Objective Half of all adult emergency department (ED) visits with a complaint of dyspnea involve acute heart failure (AHF), exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), or pneumonia, which are often misdiagnosed. We aimed to create an artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic decision support tool to detect patients with AHF, eCOPD, and pneumonia among dyspneic adults at the beginn
Background: The incidence of celiac disease (CD) has increased rapidly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, but there are recent reports of rates levelling off in countries with a high prevalence. The aim of this study was to investigate current trends in CD in southern Sweden. Patients and methods: Children and adults diagnosed with CD by biopsy or serology in the region of Skåne, southern
Even though energy-efficient technologies are well developed, the behaviour of building occupants plays an important role in the search for the optimum level of energy efficiency. In academic literature, however, very few studies have used psychological theories to understand individuals’ drivers of energy use behaviour when interacting with energy-efficient technologies. Specifically, there are n
Purpose: Hyperoxemia is common in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may increase the risk of mortality. However, the effect of hyperoxemia on functional outcome, specifically related to the timing of exposure to hyperoxemia, remains unclear. Methods: The secondary analysis of the Target Temperature Management 2 (TTM-2) r
Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) represents a promising supplement to traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods, offering a non-invasive solution that eliminates the need for sensor installations and provides extensive spatial coverage. The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), developed by the European Space Agency under the Copernicus program, marks a
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda det rättsliga förhållandet mellan arbetstagarens företrädesrätt till återanställning och arbetsgivarens användning av bemanningsarbete. Eftersom Europeiska unionen (EU) antog direktiv 2008/104/EG om uthyrning av arbetskraft (bemanningsdirektivet) år 2008 är ytterligare ett syfte att utreda dess eventuella påverkan på företrädesrätten. I takt med att bemanningsbThe purpose of this essay is to examine the legal relationship between the employee’s preferential right to reinstatement and the employer’s right to make use of temporary agency work. Since the European Union (EU) adopted Directive 2008/104/EC on temporary agency work in 2008 a further purpose is to investigate its possible influence on the preferential right to reinstatement. As the temporary a
Purpose: Investigate the relation between block ownership and stock liquidity. Methodology: The empirical methods used in this project are of quantitative nature. We use a set of dependent variables representing liquidity measures in order to test how our main explanatory variable, sum of block holdings, affect this. Furthermore, control variables such as market capitalization, share price and vo
This thesis examines the role of political satire in the Bulgarian public sphere through the case of the satirical newspaper Pras Press. The bi-weekly publication is centered around political cartooning and reports on public affairs issues from pop culture to current events. It relies on online dissemination as its print editions have been, and continue to be, the object of censorship for the news
Följande uppsats behandlar det föreslagna kronvittnessystemet, genom att inledningsvis redogöra för gällande rätt och det konkreta författningsförslaget, för att sedan besvara uppsatsens syfte med hjälp av det material som framlagts. För att ge läsaren en utökad förståelse för den historiska aspekten, och varför det inte tidigare instiftats ett kronvittnessystem, redogörs för hur strafflindring hThe following essay investigates the proposed crown witness legislation, by initially describing the applicable law and the concrete law proposal, in order to answer the purpose of the essay. To give the reader a greater understanding of why a crown witness system hasn’t previously been established, the essay describes how mitigation of punishment has been developed in Swedish law, and how crown
Övergivna återvinningscentraler på flera platser i Skåne har under det senaste året varit ett omtalat ämne. I Sverige finns ett hundratal fastigheter som saknar ägare. En fastighet kan bli herrelös genom att en konkursförvaltare väljer att överge fastigheten under pågående konkurs om fastighetens ekonomiska värde är negativt. Förfarandet har kommit att benämnas som abandonering i svensk rätt. Det In recent times, it has been a debated topic with abandoned recycling centers in several places in Skåne. There are about a hundred abandoned properties in Sweden that lack an owner. A way for a property to become abandoned is for a bankruptcy trustee to choose to abandon the property, in bankruptcy if the property has a negative value. The procedure is referred to as abandonment. There are no law
Den 1 juli 2021 blev det straffbart att låta barn bevittna brott mellan närstående. Brottet fick rubriceringen ”barnfridsbrott” och återfinns i 4 kap. 3 § BrB. Kriminaliseringen av att låta barn bevittna brott mellan närstående bemöttes av positiv respons från de flesta remissinstanserna. Trots att barnfridslagen välkomnades med öppna armar fanns en viss oro för hur lagens utformning skulle funger
Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and
To meet the growing demand of meat alternatives, this project was dedicated to creating a chicken analogue prototype with mycoprotein. Within the project, two approaches of alginate gelation, external (diffusion) crosslinking and internal crosslinking, were studied in this particular food matrix. Using the external crosslinking method, the effects of major ingredients on the texture, structure and
In this master’s thesis, a novel unsupervised anomaly detection tool was developed in collaboration with Sandvik Rock Processing to assist engineers and experts in analyzing large amounts of sensor data from cone crushers used in the stone crushing industry. The tool focuses on analyzing power, pressure, and CSS sensor data. A crucial preprocessing step was implemented to algorithmically identify
