In this article we discuss the notion of ‘interaction’, ‘participation’ and ‘the public’ in artistic work, specifically within the context of the exhibition The Invisible Landscapes (curated by Miya Yoshida, Malmö Konstmuseum, 2003) and etherSound (created by Henrik Frisk), a sound installation displayed in that exhibition. In this work the audience is invited to participate in the creation of new
BACKGROUND: In animals, we have previously done successful lung transplantations using organs from non-heart-beating donors. We have also developed an ex-vivo system of assessing the function of such organs before transplantation. The next stage was to try the technique in human beings. Bearing in mind the sensitive ethical issues involved, our first aim was to find out what procedures would be ac
Time-resolved spectroscopy is a powerful technique permitting the separation of the scattering properties from the chemical absorption properties of a sample. The reduced scattering coefficient and the absorption coefficient are usually obtained by fitting diffusion or Monte Carlo models to the measured data using numerical optimization techniques. However, these methods do not take the spectral d

Mandibular autopsy specimens were examined with different radiographic techniques in order to evaluate the visibility of the mandibular canal and the measurement accuracy of distances related to the mandibular canal. Hypocycloidal, spiral and computed tomography (CT) were superior to periapical and panoramic radiography in visualising the mandibular canal. The tomographic techniques were more accu
This article explores the practical implementation of two innovative projects in Denmark and Sweden. The research is motivated by the high political interest for innovations as a modern quick fix to societal problems. Innovations are regarded as an all-round solution; however, research has mainly been focused on technical and economical factors without considering social problem solving. Utilizing
Shopping has since long been recognized as a possible source of enjoyment. It has been argued that consumers of today devote ever more of their spare time to shopping. Within the domain of marketing, scholars have been successful in outlining consumers' motives for engaging in shopping as a leisure-time enjoyment. Minor attention has however been devoted to explorations of how or why such shopping
An all digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) has been implemented in a 90-nm CMOS process. It uses a phase frequency detector (PFD) connected to two time-to-digital converters (TDC). To save power the TDCs use uneven delay time in the delay line cells. An automatic tuning bank controller selects active bank of the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), which features three separate tuning banks. The P
This thesis describes the relations between objects, practices, and individuals. The main objective is to explore the role of artefacts in user-centred participatory design research, specifically for expressing and communicating personal experiences and creating meaning. In a broad sense I draw on experiences from three practices in order to define the scope of the thesis. The first is practice-le
This paper presents a solution to the problem of pose estimation in the presence of heavy radial distortion and a potentially large number of outliers. The main contribution is an algorithm that solves for radial distortion, focal length and camera pose using a minimal set of four point correspondences between 3D world points and image points. We use a RANSAC loop to find a set of inliers and an i
Popular Abstract in Swedish I naturen finns en närmast oändlig variation av biologiska partiklar i storleksordningen 100 nanometer till 10 mikrometer. Bland dessa kan man bland annat finna; eukaryota celler som genom ordnad samverkan bygger upp flercelliga organismer, prokaryota celler vilka lever som solitära organismer såsom olika bakterier eller jästsvamp, och viruspartiklar vilka likt parasiteHerein a method that uses acoustically resonating glass capillaries and enables non-contact capture of micron-sized bioparticles, i.e. acoustic trapping, is described. A miniaturized ultrasonic transducer is used to locally actuate a cross-sectional resonance in the capillary. A 2000×200 µm2 capillary is typically operated around a resonance frequency of 4-MHz. Optimal design of the transducer for
In this thesis, the electronic structure and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures are studied theoretically. Three types of nanostructures have been studied, silicon nanocrystals, free-standing III-V nanowires and free-standing GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire superlattices. The calculations have been carried out using an atomistic, empirical tight-binding approach. Silicon nanocrystals have at
This article studies the maximum likelihood estimates of magnitude and scale parameters for a Gaussian process of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type used to model a deterministic function that does not have to be a realisation of an Ornstein- Uhlenbeck process. Specifically, we derive explicit expressions for the limiting values of the maximum likelihood estimates as the number of observations increases. The
Over the years, electronic waste accumulation has been on a steep rise, parallel with the technological evolution of electrical and electronic equipment. Companies have adopted circular economy approach to overcome the emerging waste issue in the last few decades, where goods can return to manufacturers or remanufacturers. They can be used after certain modifications or remanufacturing processes.
Enabling journeys from door-to-door is an essential part of attracting people towards public transport and away from the private car. Facilitating such journeys requires comprehensive and integrated planning across modal and spatial boundaries. Public transport governance, however, is often constrained by fragmented, multi-level structures and regulatory barriers that limit the ability of responsi
Background: Posterior fossa tumours (PFT) are the most common childhood brain tumours, and children treated for these tumours are at increased risk of persistent speech, language and/or communication difficulties. Such difficulties have often been described in association with the postoperative complication cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS), but can also occur in children without a period of mutism
Children undergoing surgery for posterior fossa tumours (PFT) may experience postoperative language and communication difficulties, regardless of whether they develop cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) or not. While these language difficulties are increasingly recognised in current research, children’s own experiences of everyday communication remain limited. In this presentation, we share findings
Background: Win statistics offer an alternative approach to clinical trials that use survival analysis to analyze composite endpoints. Our objective was to re-analyze data from previously published registry-based randomized controlled trials that produced hazard ratios using win statistics to evaluate the correspondence between them. Good correspondence was defined as both results being positive,
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) share ostensibly similar and sometimes overlapping symptoms that complicate diagnostic assessment and conceptualization. While varying models for the symptom structure of PTSD have been proposed – including the presently used 4-factor and a more fine-grained 7-factor model – little research has focused on youth and even l
An Escherichia coli expression system was constructed for production of a recombinant antimicrobial peptide buforin derivative named buforin IIb and a large-scale process of cultivation and purification was also developed. Inclusion bodies of fusion proteins containing recombinant buforin IIb were released from high-density-cultured cells by high-pressure homogenization. The inclusion bodies
