Graph cuts methods are at the core of many state-of-the-art algorithms in computer vision due to their efficiency in computing globally optimal solutions. In this paper, we solve the maximum flow/minimum cut problem in parallel by splitting the graph into multiple parts and hence, further increase the computational efficacy of graph cuts. Optimality of the solution is guaranteed by dual decomposit

Hösten 1943 genomförde Socialstyrelsen rasbiologiska mätningar av mer än hundra svenskar som myndigheten ansåg var ”tattare”, däribland flera barn. Genom att mäta längden på näsor, armar och pannor ville myndigheten få fram ett objektivt sätt att avgöra vilka svenskar som borde kategoriseras på detta sätt. Målet var att skapa särskilda politiska åtgärder mot gruppen, som länge givits skulden för eSince the 16th Century, there has been Travelling families in Sweden, earning their living by itinerant trades such as horse-trading, scrap-metal-dealing and tinplating. The authorities often labelled these families “tattare”. They suffered from severe discrimination, and authorities as well as scientists claimed that they were a threat against society. These claims were often made with a racializ

Endovascular treatment had developed rapidly and the procedures have increased in complexity. The demand of imaging excellence is imperative to perform these interventions. However both pre and postoperative investigations are performed by the use of advanced three-dimensional imaging, while the treatment itself relies on two-dimensional imaging. With the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT

My PhD dissertation investigates relationships between contemporary art and spatial practices It emphasising the creation of platforms for public participation as interventions into urban regeneration processes. The project has two essential objectives: a. To identify the potential within contemporary art for a critical analysis of an urban de velopment process from the location, in dialogue with

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to test the General Motor Function Assessment Scale (GMF) for content and criterion validity in geriatric home-rehabilitation. Furthermore, the GMF was analysed with respect to sensitivity, distribution, and for floor and ceiling effects. Method. Content validity was explored by questionnaires circulated to ten experts in the field of geriatrics. Three assess

The general research question of the present study was to assess the impact of visually salient online adverts on children's task-oriented internet use. In order to answer this question as reliably as possible, an experimental study was constructed in which 9-year-old and 12-year-old Swedish children were asked to solve a number of tasks while interacting with a mockup website. In each trial, web

The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate and problematize the Swedish Teacher Unions’ use of the concept of professionalism within the political negotiation of how to ascribe meaning and content to the idea of teacher professionalism within contemporary Swedish education debates. Departing from two recent educational reforms – the certification of teachers and the reformation of teacher

This thesis is about combining three archaeological themes; the interpretation of grave contexts, social identities and Iron Age jewellery has been given a place here. The aim was to discern which meanings and functions that can be connected to Migration Period bracteates in graves, and if so how they manifest in the context. Bracteates, small pendants dated to the Migration and Vendel periods, ha

This small-scale experiment was a first attempt at testing the theoretical framework of Processability Theory (PT), a well-established theory of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), against data from online brain imaging technology (Electroencephalography – EEG). Event Related Potentials (ERPs) were extracted for 15 advanced beginners/intermediate-level learners of Swedish who were presented with gr

Authors: Elin Copcutt and Jessica Holst Title: Stress eller kontroll? – En kvalitativ studie om socialsekreterarens syn på sin yrkesroll. Supervisor: Carina Tigervall This paper examines how six social workers from four local authority social services departments in the south of Sweden find their work situation. The idea for the subject matter came from the media where social workers often are

An engineer always strive to help in the continuous exploration of the unknown. By doing so we go further out in space and further down in scale. This is the case with microfluidics which in the last years have gotten a lot of attention. This thesis will examine and better try to understand and optimize a fluidic system that uses ultrasonic trapping. Its application may be everything from enrichin

The objectives of this paper was to; examine if risk preferences are stable across different distribution contexts, in line with the prediction of the expected utility theory (EUT); if the range frequency theory (RFT) (Parducci, 1965) can account for observed choice behaviour in a hypothetical investment scenario; and lastly, analyse the potential factors that can account for the individual differ

Since the 1930s, a dance permit regulation has been in effect in Sweden. The dance permit is required for public dance events in Sweden, and police may take photographic evidence of patrons moving in sync with the music in a dance-like fashion if they believe that ‘illegal’ dancing has transpired in an establishment that may not have filed for a dance permit. If such is the case, then this evidenc

The purpose of this essay is to study the potential of a carpool as a sustainable mobility solution in rural areas, by studying the usage of the carpool pilot in Brösarp, Tomelilla municipality. The essay seeks to answer the following research questions: how is the carpool being used today? Which are the barriers for using the carpool? What can be done to motivate an increased use of the carpool?

Artificial intelligence in biomedical image processing is approaching human performance at object localization while saving immense amounts of time for the physicians. These AI algorithms have the potential to automatically segment anatomical structures for preoperative planning. However, there are currently no tools such tools on the market. This study propose a framework of generating effective

interactIVe introduces active intervention safety systems in order to increase traffic safety. The interactIVe functions are – depending on their purpose – able to brake and steer autonomously. Furthermore, the driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems which warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. Seven demonstrator vehicles – six passenger cars of different v

A combined experimental and theoretical effort has been made to identify the most important contributors to equilibrium ionization in the post-flame gas. In the past, nitric oxide (NO) has always been assumed to be the main electron donor in the compressed hot post-flame gases. However, correlations observed between the amount of NO in the exhaust gases and the current amplitude may be deceiving d

Filamentous fungi produce asexual dispersive spores (conidia), when conditions are not suitable for apical extension growth. Conidiation (the process by which conidia produced) in genus Penicillium has attracted considerable interest because of its wide usage in different areas. In addition, several Penicillium species are pathogenic toward humans and plants, causing crop spoilage as well as decay
