Background: PSMA PETs can track treatment response in patients with prostate cancer. Recent integration of the RECIP framework with PROMISE v2 allows quantitative assessment of PSMA PETs. While useful for assessing differentially responding lesions, manual measurement and tracking is cumbersome and PSA reliance can be misleading. We evaluated an automated AI-enabled platform, aPROMISE, for longitu
This study explores the effectiveness of combining Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Induced Polarization (IP) for identifying internal erosion processes in embankment dams. A small-scale test dam was built in Älvkarleby, Sweden, with deliberately embedded but undisclosed defects to test monitoring capabilities. Daily ERT and IP measurements were collected during 4.5-year years, and anal
Urban meteorology, the study of atmospheric phenomena in urban areas, is vital for understanding the dynamic interactions between rapid urbanization and environmental changes. Over the past two decades (2004–2024), urban heat islands (UHIs), extreme rainfall, pollution, and temperature anomalies have intensified, adversely affecting human health, infrastructure, and ecosystems worldwide. The prese
I was asked to make this installation on the occasion of Cyklopen’s 5th anniversary celebration in their new building. Cyklopen is an “anarchist cultural house” in the Högdalen neighborhood, a suburb in the south of Stockholm. There was to be a great deal of loud music, crowds, presentations and general festivities, so I decided to make an oasis in the library, where some artworks were hanging. Lo
Individuals (n = 18) in remission from acute leukemia or highly malignant lymphoma were asked to narrate their lived experience of falling ill, of being under treatment, and life following this event. The transcribed texts were analyzed from a phenomenological-hermeneutic perspective, expanded by their medical and social history as related in interviews. The analysis revealed 3 themes: (I) Believe
The link between knowledge and firm growth has been a core topic in economics of innovation for a long time. However, despite strong theoretical arguments, empirical evidence remains inconclusive. One important reason for this conundrum may be the failure of standard indicators to capture firm innovation activities comprehensively. We contribute to overcoming this limitation by looking in the know
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder mediated by antiplatelet autoantibodies and antigen-specific T cells that either destroy platelets peripherally in the spleen or impair platelet production in the bone marrow. There have been a plethora of publications relating to the pathophysiology of ITP and since January of 2019, at least 50 papers have been published on ITP pat
En grundläggande princip inom konkursrätten är att konkursboet inte ansvarar för gäldenärens tidigare förpliktelser. Miljörätten däremot är uppbyggd runt syftet att kunna utkräva ansvar från en stor krets av fysiska och juridiska personer, detta i syfte att skydda nuvarande och kommande generationer. Det problematiska är att kombinera dessa två lagstiftningar och syften. Syftet för den här framsA fundamental principle within the bankruptcy law is that the bankruptcy estate is not responsible for the debtor’s prior obligations. The environmental law is built around the purpose of enabling the enforcement system to demand accountability from a large group of corporations and persons. This, for the purpose of protecting present and future generations. An important matter is how to combine t
The volcanic island of Jan Mayen, located in the Norwegian – Greenland Sea, has very few lake basins out of which only one, Lake Nordlaguna, holds a permanent lake throughout the year. The island is volcanic and has been glaciated, but the lake basin is not genetically typical for volcanic crater lakes or other common types of volcanic lakes. Nor is it typical for ice-scoured glacial lakes. Instea
Two extreme groups of healthy male undergraduate students, either highly (n=12) or low creative (n=12), were pre-selected from a larger cohort (N= 60) by way of the Creative functioning test (Smith and Carlsson, 1990). The two groups underwent measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF). CBF was measured first during rest and during three verbal tasks (random order): Automatic speech (Auto), word fl
The second generation (2G) cellular networks are the current workhorse for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. Diversity in 2G devices can be present both in form of multiple receive branches and blind repetitions. In presence of diversity, intersymbol interference (ISI) equalization and co-channel interference (CCI) suppression are usually very complex. In this paper, we consider the improve
Researchers have long emphasized the importance of classroominteraction for enhancing foreign language learning (Carroll 1967; Chihara& Oller, 1987; Krashen, Butler, Birkbaum, & Robertson 1978; Krashen &Seliger, 1976). This pilot study attempts to see how English teaching and learning methods in Vietnamese classrooms affect young learners’acquisition of English subject-verb agreement i
My first encounter with a begging person led me to spend five years investigating the new situation regarding begging and giving in Sweden. The premise is that every-day actions and reactions to another person can be made visible through aesthetics with ethical underpinnings. My investigation takes place mainly in the urban landscape and in the media. The images always constitute the point of depa
The movement of plants, animals, and microorganisms by humans, consciously or unconsciously, has changed both ecosystems and societies throughout history. This article focuses on one such transformative species, lodgepole pine, and its relocation from northwestern America to northern Sweden in the mid-twentieth century. A cultural biography of the lodgepole pine’s existence in Sweden examines how
This thesis covers the development of a silicon neural interface, with focus on silicon sieve electrode fabrication, design, nerve regeneration, signal recording and biocompatibility. A study of how the via hole size and transparency of the perforated sieve membrane influences the nerve regeneration is presented together with a study on soft tissue responses to planar and porous silicon. A method
There have recently been several studies of the performance of laser frequency stabilization using spectral holes in solids, instead of an external cavity, as a frequency reference. Here an analytical theory for Pound-Drever-Hall laser frequency stabilization using spectral hole-burning is developed. The interaction between the atomic medium and the phase modulated light is described using a linea
Purpose - To provide an integrated perspective to similarities and differences between approaches to automated classification in different research communities (machine learning, information retrieval and library science), and point to problems with the approaches and automated classification as such. Design/methodology/approach - A range of works dealing with automated classification of full-text
This thesis is about avenues (tree-lined roads – in Swedish alléer). Avenues are a characteristic landscape element in many parts of Scania. This is an object created by man with a clear visual effect in the landscape. The avenue is also something which is both nature and culture, a man-made object from nature. The purpose of the thesis is to describe, analyse and discuss the historical geograph
Background: The objective was to understand patients' views of treatment after acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and their reasons for deciding to request surgery despite consenting to participate in a randomised controlled trial (to 'cross-over'). Methods: Thirty-four in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with young (aged 18-35), physically active individuals with ACL ruptur
