Objective: The aim of this study was to assess information literacy performance of students doing their master thesis at 5th year the Medical Degree Programme, Lund University, Sweden. The study investigates if there is a difference in performance between library class participants and non-participants. Method: A case-control approach with rubrics assessment was used to assess students’ informatio
Application of concurrent engineering (CE) to product development process (PDP) has to consider the type of production (individual, serial, mass), product complexity and level of design: original, innovative, variation and adaptive. Systematic analyses of product development processes, workflows, data and project management, in various companies, has shown that specific criteria have to be fulfill
As a promising carbon-free fuel, iron powder can directly combust with air and has great potential to provide clean and high-grad heat for various applications. The combustion characteristics of iron particles are of great significance for developing iron combustion model, designing efficient combustor, and optimizing combustion technologies. In this work, the micro-explosion behavior of burning i
BACKGROUND: In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 no longer a public health emergency. Despite successful vaccination campaigns, vaccines provide limited protection against transmission. Since general testing has been abandoned in most countries, alternative population surveillance methods to assess SARS-CoV-2 exposure are needed.METHODS: N-antigen is a protein of the SARS-C
In 2016, Taiwan was on the verge of becoming the first in Asia to allow same-sex marriage. An amendment aimed at changing marriage definition in Civil Code has passed the first-round reading in legislative committee in 26 December 2016. However, although Taiwan is seen as one of the most gay-friendly places in Asia, the same-sex marriage bill has generated intensive debates among citizens. And mas
Initiation of construction of apartments has increased by 26% from 2014 to 2015 in Sweden. This has meant more building permits to treat. Several tasks done by a building inspector has been identified through active observation of the building permit department in Helsingborg. Some of the tasks are review of cases, technical consultation, and visits at building places, final consultation, supervis
The study aimed at (a) investigated the ability of potential lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to ferment quinoa milk, and (b) formulating a method for producing fermented quinoa milk. To meet the objectives, Lactobacillus pentosus and Pediococcus pentosaceus two native bacterial strains were tested. Quinoa milk elaboration was optimized at laboratory scale by selecting an appropriate quinoa/water propor
Artificiella Neuronnät är datorvärldens ekvivalens till det mänskliga nervsystemet. Precis som nervsystemet är ett nätverk av neuroner som är kopplade till andra neuroner med nerver så är det artificiella neuronnätet ett näverk av noder som är kopplade till andra noder med länkar. Det artificiella neuronnätet tar en inputsignal som skickas igenom nätverket och där noderna signalen stöter på på vägNeuroevolution is a field within machine learning that applies genetic algorithms to train artificial neural networks. Neuroevolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) is a method that evolves both the topology of the network and trains the weights of the network at the same time, and has been found to successfully solve reinforcement learning problems efficiently and the XOR problem with a minimal
Abstract Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor was fabricated on the InGaAs substrate with Al2O3/HfO2 gate oxide. InGaAs is one of the promising candidates for advanced applications which require the lower power supply and high frequency. The high-k films (Al2O3/HfO2) were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as an alternative to silicon dioxide (SiO2) to proceed the scaling of oxide to low
The purpose of this study was to examine how young managers (26-32 years old) in municipal old-age care organizations, in Skåne and Blekinge, experience their professional roles as managers in relation to their age. One of the questions asked in this study was whether managers experienced that their age affected their managerial position, and in that case, how? In order to investigate this, a qual
In recent years, as Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning technologies have advanced, there has been increasing interest in the study of energy-efficient and flexible architectures for embedded systems. To bridge the performance gap between microprocessors and memory systems, Near-Data Processing (NDP) was introduced. Although some works have implemented NDP, few of them utilize the microp
Study Objective: To understand young women's experiences of receiving a diagnosis related to diverse sex development.Design: A qualitative narrative analysis of interviews.Setting: Karolinska University Hospital.Participants: Nine women (aged 20-26 years) with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, XY or XX gonadal dysgenesis.Interventions: Semistructured interviews.Main Outcome Measures: A nar
Lithium abundance in most of the warm metal-poor main sequence stars shows a constarnt plateau (A(Li) ~ 2.2 dex) and then the upper envelope of the lithium vs. metallicity distribution increases as we approach solar metallicity. Meteorites, which carry information about the chemical composition of the interstellar medium (ISM) at the solar system formation time, show a lithium abundance A(Li) ~ 3.
The alternating between dry and wet seasons and the consecutive microbial responses to soil water content in semiarid ecosystems has significant consequences on nitrogen exchanges with the atmosphere. Three field campaigns were carried out in a semi arid sahelian rangeland in Dahra (Ferlo, Senegal), two at the beginning of the wet season in July 2012 and July 2013, and the third one in November 20
We investigated multivoxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) biometrics for preoperative differentiation and prognosis of patients with brain metastases (MET), low-grade glioma (LGG) and high-grade glioma (HGG). In total, 33 patients (HGG, 14; LGG, 9; and 10 MET) were included. 1H-MRS imaging (MRSI) data were assessed and neurochemical profiles for metabolites N-acetyl aspartate (NAA
Purpose – The study aims to investigate the effects of a remote energy management service to the energy consumption of retail buildings. The study focuses on analysing the changes in energy consumption after the implementation of a facility service concept where building processes are optimized with a remote energy management system. The paper seeks to demonstrate that remotely operated building m
