Image classification systems have been widely applied in smartphones, industrial inspection, and automated devices. However, in real-world scenarios, existing classifiers often produce inconsistent or incorrect predictions due to factors such as image degradation, inter-class similarity, and model instability, thereby reducing the overall performance of the system. To address these issues and enha

This thesis investigated the potential of using reactive power compensation to solve overvoltage issues caused by high amounts of distributed generation, such as rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, in the low voltage grid. High voltages are caused by increasing distributed generation as the Swedish power grid shifts from centralised to decentralised power production. The aim was to manage overvol

The scaling of high-mobility and superconducting transistors places strict demands on electrostatic control, making the gate capacitance a key factor for both performance and operational stability. In hybrid structures that combine semiconductors and superconductors, parasitic capacitances become particularly important, as fringing fields and heterogeneous material interfaces cause the total capac

PURPOSE: Provision of adequate support is much needed to secure equal educational opportunities for students with developmental language disorder (DLD). Important perspectives on support provision and its impact on academic progress are held by school professionals, caregivers, and students with DLD. This study sought to further the current knowledge on the perceived relation between educational s

The proliferation of renewable energy resources is imposing demands on electric distribution infrastructure that traditional low-frequency transformers are not equipped to fulfill. Conventional transformers operate with high energy efficiency but offer zero active controllability with no inherent power quality management and support for hybrid power flows. The solid state transformer (SST), a powe

BACKGROUND: Non-operative treatment for acute appendicitis (AA) in children has gained acceptance as an alternative to surgery in selected cases. Accurate preoperative differentiation between perforated and non-perforated AA is increasingly important, as the former requires emergency surgery while the latter may be managed conservatively. Previous research has suggested that low plasma sodium conc

Abstract To build airtight buildings is something that is becoming increasingly important for operators in the construction industry. As stricter demands on airtightness and lower energy consumption are required This airtight project addresses two aspects of the construction for the success of air sealing. Partly which methods to use to get a building airtight but also what utilities have been dev

Popular Abstract in Swedish HIMMELSKOMPASSEN En orienterare förlitar sig på karta och kompass för att finna sin väg genom skogen. När solen börjar gå ner blir det allt svårare att urskilja den röda kompassnålens riktning och detaljerna på kartan. Orienteraren slår slutligen på sin pannlampa och fortsätter springa mot sitt mål. Han är inte ensam. Många andra varelser har också ett mål att nå under The polarization pattern of skylight offers many animals a reference for visual compass orientation. In those cases when this optical compass is identified, the receptors involved are often confined to a small part of an eye built predominantly for other visual tasks. This thesis reports the discovery of a unique compass organ in the spider Drassodes cupreus, where a pair of specialised secondary

Popular Abstract in Swedish 1: Tomas Åkerud, doktorand vid Lunds Universitet, har utvecklat en metod för att mäta hur snabbt läkemedelsmolekyler och fettsyror (de naturliga bindarna) tar sig in i och lämnar bindingsfickan i ett protein som är viktigt för fettsyrametabolismen i människa. Proteinet, adipocyt-fettsyrabindande protein (A-FABP), har som funktion att transportera fettsyror, som inte är Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) has been used to determine the kinetics of ligand binding to the adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP), as well as the oligomerisation and inter- and intramolecular dynamics of the low molecular weight-protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) in solution. NMR spectroscopy is sensitive to dynamic processes on timescales ranging from picoseconds t

Popular Abstract in Swedish För över 100 år sedan upptäckte den franske naturalisten Jean-Henri Fabre att en nattfjärilshona som han hade på sitt skrivbord lyckades attrahera åtskilliga hanar, trots att honan var gömd bakom ett skynke och hannarna således inte kunde se henne. Fabre gissade att det var någon för honom okänd doft som låg bakom mysteriet. I slutet av 1950-talet identifierades det förMoths (Lepidoptera) are dependent on female produced pheromones, chemical signals, for attracting a mate. Pheromones are most commonly made up by saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acid derived alcohols, acetates, and/or aldehydes that are produced by a set of enzymes in the female pheromone gland. The enzymes involved are fatty acyl desaturases, pheromone gland fatty acyl reductases (pgFAR), β-ox

The objectives of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are to reduce temporary symptoms due to inflammatory activity and, more importantly, to preserve function. The introduction of potent disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in recent years has increased the opportunities for effective treatment. However, these treatments come at a substantially higher cost than traditional DMARDs an

d-dimer testing is widely used as part of the diagnostic algorithm for the exclusion of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) but is considered of limited in value for ruling DVT in. Since d-dimers are poorly defined, there is no standardization of the assays and this makes reliable comparisons between clinical studies difficult. We report on a performance evaluation of a new marker of activated coagulation

The splice variant INS-IGF2 entails the preproinsulin signal peptide, the insulin B-chain, eight amino acids of the C-peptide and 138 unique amino acids from an ORF in the IGF2 gene. The aim was to determine whether levels of specific INS-IGF2 autoantibodies (INS-IGF2A) were related to age at diagnosis, islet autoantibodies, HLA-DQ, or both, in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients and controls

Objectives. To study the course of impairment measured by signals of functional impairment (SOFI) and disability measured by health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) over 20 years in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients followed from diagnosis. To explore the contribution of disease activity, joint damage and comorbidity to variation of SOFI and HAQ over time. Methods. RA patients diagnosed 1985-1989 w

Navigate PD was an educational program established to supplement existing guidelines and provide recommendations on the management of Parkinson's disease (PD) refractory to oral/transdermal therapies. It involved 103 experts from 13 countries overseen by an International Steering Committee (ISC) of 13 movement disorder specialists. The ISC identified 71 clinical questions important for device-aide

Oxidative stress results from a mismatch between production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the organism's capacity to mitigate their damaging effects by building up sufficient antioxidant protection and/or repair mechanisms. Because ROS production is a universal consequence of cellular metabolism and immune responses, evolutionary animal ecologists have become increasingly interested in invo

Purpose: To develop a system for refined motor control of artificial hands based on multiple electromyographic (EMG) recordings, allowing multiple patterns of hand movements. Methods: Five subjects with traumatic below-elbow amputations and 1 subject with a congenital below-elbow failure of formation performed 10 imaginary movements with their phantom hand while surface electrodes recorded the EMG

Background. Umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry is a routine method for fetal surveillance in high-risk pregnancy. Uterine artery Doppler seems to give comparable information, but it can be difficult to interpret as there are two arteries, which might show notching and/or increased pulsatility index (PI) as signs of increased vascular impedance. Combining the information on vascular resistance on
