In recent years, Deep Learning has proven to be an outstanding tool in the field of computer vision showing promising results in different fields such as the analysis of medical images, obstacle detection for self-driving cars, automatic image caption generation, etc. In the case of Archaeology, the adoption of these methods in the detection of archaeological structures from aerial images has been
Syftet med skadeståndet utgår från prevention och reparation. Skadestånd ska förmå människor att agera mer aktsamt, att avstå från ett visst skadligt agerande, i syfte att undvika skador. Detta ska i sin tur leda till ett tryggare och säkrare samhälle. De dispositiva skadeståndsrättsliga reglerna i SkL har historiskt haft starkt samband med straffrätten. SkL trädde i kraft 1972 men innebar ingen sThe purpose of the tort law is based on prevention and repair. Being forced to pay damages is intended to cause people to act more cautiously, to refrain from certain harmful actions, in order to avoid injuries. This will lead to a safe and sound society. The Liability for Damages Act came into force in 1972 but meant no major change regarding the assessment of the liability for damages, it is sti
Den Europeiska Unionen utgör ett överstatligt samarbete mellan medlemsstaterna och dess viktigaste mål är en konkurrenskraftig inre marknad. Konkurrensrätten utgör ett vitalt verktyg för EU:s upprätthållande av konkurrensen på marknaden och genomdrivs huvudsakligen av Kommissionen. Privata sanktionsmedel, särskilt konkurrensskadetalan, har emellertid fått ökad betydelse. Denna utveckling har resulThe European Union is a supranational cooperation between its Member States, and its main objective is a highly competitive internal market. Competition law is a vital tool in the protection of competition on the market. It is mainly enforced by the Commission. However, private enforcement through competition damages actions, has become increasingly important. This development has resulted in a Di
The objective of this study was to explain the contribution of lower extremity muscle activity to gait kinetic and kinematic adaptations for maintaining gait dynamic balance when walking on an inclined icy surface and the biomechanical mechanisms used to counteract slip risk. A two-way factorial experimental design was applied. The two independent variables were the walkway surface (ice and treadm
KRAS mutations are major factors involved in initiation and maintenance of pancreatic tumors. The impact of different mutations on patient survival has not been clearly defined. We screened tumors from 171 pancreatic cancer patients for mutations in KRAS and CDKN2A genes. Mutations in KRAS were detected in 134 tumors, with 131 in codon 12 and only 3 in codon 61. The GGT>GAT (G12D) was the most fre
We present the first continuous paleolimnological reconstruction from the North Island of New Zealand (37A degrees S) that spans the last 48.2 cal kyr. A tephra- and radiocarbon-based chronology was developed to infer the timing of marked paleolimnological changes in Lake Pupuke, Auckland, New Zealand, identified using sedimentology, magnetic susceptibility, grain size and geochemistry (carbon, ni
This paper presents two circuits, a complete 1.5 V 28 GHz SiGe beam steering PLL and a standalone 28 GHz QVCO with I/Q phase imbalance detection and compensation. The circuits were designed in a SiGe process with f T = 200 GHz. The PLL is intended to be used for beam steering in an 81–86 GHz E-band transmitter. Phase control is implemented by DC current injection at the output of a Gilbert archite
In this paper, we describe the results from an experimental campaign, focused on vertical upward flame spread over a charring material. First, for validation purposes of simulation tools, we report on cone calorimeter results for square (9.8 cm x 9.8 cm), 1.65 cm thick, medium density fibre samples, mounted horizontally. Temperature is shown at the surface and at different depths. The mass of the
Measurements of bottomonium production in heavy-ion and p + p collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are presented. The inclusive yield of the three states, (1S + 2S + 3S), was measured in the PHENIX experiment via electron-positron decay pairs at midrapidity for Au + Au and p + p collisions at root sNN = 200 GeV. The (1S + 2S + 3S) -> e(+)e(-) differential cross section at midra
Popular Abstract in Swedish År 2008 insjuknade 37 156 personer i akut hjärtinfarkt i Sverige och av dessa dog 10 509 personer. Akut hjärtinfarkt är därmed den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige, men även i resten av världen. Generellt sett insjuknar män ungefär 10 år tidigare än kvinnor i hjärtinfarkt och män har därför en högre total risk att insjukna, även om hjärtinfarkt är den vanligaste dödsors
BACKGROUND: Knee rotation plays an important part in knee kinematics during weight-bearing activities. An external device for measuring knee rotation (the Rottometer) has previously been evaluated for validity by simultaneous measurements of skeletal movements with Roentgen Stereometric Analysis (RSA). The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of the device. METHOD: The within-day
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore and identify the factors leading to or inhibiting inclusion, and how these do so. Methodology: I conduct a qualitative case study using semi-structured interviews of respondents within an anonymous case company named Company X, and use pattern matching to both test factors of inclusion found in the diversity and inclusion literature, but also identi
Ångest och oro hos unga vuxna är idag ett aktuellt ämne. I denna studie undersöktes universitetsstuderande sistaårsstudenters oro inför sitt inträde på arbetsmarknaden och om denna oro kan bero på generell self-efficacy, egenskapsångest och/eller branschrelaterad arbetslivserfarenhet. Undersökningen var en enkätbaserad tvärsnittsstudie där stickprovet bestod av 93 studenter på Lunds universitet. TAnxiety and worry among young adults is a relevant topic today. In this study, the worry felt by last year university students as they enter the workforce were examined, and whether or not this worry can be due to self-efficacy, trait anxiety and/or branch related work experience. The study was based on a cross sectional poll, where the sample was 93 students enrolled at Lund University. Thirty si
Purpose The author aims to gain a detailed understanding of the different supply chain actors’ perspectives on sustainable supply chain management and its implementation in the process of a global chemistry manufacturer in Turkey.

In the beginning of 2017, the debate regarding freedom of conscience and abortions surfaced again in Sweden, when the Labour Arbitration Court raised the case of the midwife Ellinor Grimmark. Grimmark had been denied work as a midwife, as she was unwilling to perform abortions, put in a contraceptive copper coil, and to provide patients with so-called oral emergency contraceptive. This essay aims
