The Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH) model has long been the preferred survival model for its explainability. However, to increase its predictive power beyond its linear log-risk, it was extended to utilize deep neural networks, sacrificing its explainability. In this work, we explore the potential of self-explaining neural networks (SENN) for survival analysis. We propose a new locally explainable
This book is an introduction to the Free Energy Principle (FEP) and Active Inference. The FEP has been described as new paradigm with potential to unify the biological and cognitive sciences. According to the FEP, living organisms persist by minimizing their free energy (which can be variously translated as uncertainty, surprise, prediction error, or discrepancies between model and world).

Northern forest ecosystems make up an important part of the global carbon cycle. Hence, monitoring local-scale gross primary production (GPP) of northern forest is essential for understanding climatic change impacts on terrestrial carbon sequestration and for assessing and planning management practices. Here we evaluate and compare four methods for estimating GPP using Sentinel-2 data in order to
Deposition of phosphorus (P) is important for the nutrient supply to forests and open land but also contributes to the eutrophication of surface waters. Deposition to open land can be measured as bulk deposition while deposition to forests cannot be measured directly, due to internal circulation of P within forest canopies. This study aimed to quantify the total deposition of P to open land and fo
Purpose: This study examines how policies rewarding sustainable initiatives affect ESG scores in European firms and how these dynamics are influenced by a nation's Environmental Performance Index (EPI). It aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on sustainable and responsible business practices in Europe and beyond. Methodology: The study employs Fixed-effects Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
The subject of this thesis is derived from the scientific problem of the encounter between history and politics. The aim is to analyse the Sweden Democrats' use of history which manifests itself in their political rhetoric. Specifically, the importance of their interest in history in their struggle to attain dominance over the interpretation and arrangement of Swedish history as a whole. My pr
Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Grupp B streptokocker (GBS) Grupp B streptokocker (GBS), på latin Streptococcus agalactiae, är det vanligaste fyndet vid bakteriella infektioner, som blodförgiftning (sepsis), hjärnhinneinflammation (meningit) och lunginflammation (pneumoni) hos nyfödda barn. Sjukdomsförloppet är ofta våldsamt och livshotande. Sedan 1970-talet har det skett enABSTRACT Streptococci constitute a heterogeneous group of Gram-positive bacteria, divided into different serological groups on the basis of antigenic differences in a cell wall-associated carbohydrate. This thesis describes related surface proteins expressed by bacteria in two of these groups, the group B streptococcus (GBS) and the group A streptococcus (GAS). GBS is an encapsulated bacterium th
This thesis analyses structural changes and the role of technology in the Swedish economy since the 1970s. With the attention directed towards interdependencies between sectors, a vertical perspective is applied on the economy. This contrats to the most often used horizontal perspective, in which individual sectors, such as manufacturing and services, are studied in isolation. With an integration
In this chapter, a detailed review of the current understanding of the physical processes of droplet breakup in a high-pressure homogenizer (HPH) is presented, covering breakup mechanisms by laminar shear in the gap inlet and its boundary layers, by local turbulence in the gap exit jet, and by cavitation. Experimental evidence of the effects of homogenization pressure, Thoma number, dispersed and
Open access is a well-known externality problem in fisheries causing excess capacity and overfishing. Due to global warming, externality problems from CO2 emissions have gained increased interest. With two externality problems, a first-best optimum can be achieved by using two regulatory instruments. However, solving the open-access externality problem also affects CO2 emissions. By using a bio-ec
The article explores the Norwegian ‘national ballad’ Draumkvæde (the Dream Song) in Maren Ramskeid’s version. This work has traditionally been interpreted as a folklore adaptation of medieval visionary literature such as the Vision of Tundale, related to Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. The ballad, however, lacks demons and devils and infernal torture – it is even almost completely devoid of human
En åldrande befolkningen har identifierats som en samhällsutmaning. En tydlig utveckling inom forskning om sådana utmaningar är krav på medverkan från patientgrupper, brukarorganisationer och andra aktörer utanför akademin. Syftet med artikeln är att introducera en modell för utformning och värdering av samverkan mellan akademiska forskare och aktörer utanför akademin. Modellen bygger på en genomg
This essay investigates the need for prioritizing resilience and mindfulness in academia and elaborated on a pragmatic approach to how we as scholars can improve our well-being collectively in today’s demanding academic environment.
Denna uppsats undersöker fenomenet rättslig korsbefruktning genom att ana-lysera hur den ad hoc-inrättade Internationella krigsförbrytartribunalen för det forna Jugoslavien har implementerat internationell människorättslagstiftning i förhållande till definitionen av tortyr. Uppsatsen tillämpar en rättsdogmatisk metod med fokus på folkrättens rätt-skällelära. Två fall från ICTY har varit föremål föThis thesis examines the phenomenon of legal cross-fertilisation by analysing how the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia have implemented International Human Rights Law with regard to the defini-tion of torture. This thesis employs the legal dogmatic method with an emphasis on the sources of law in International Law. Two cases from the ICTY have been the subject of an
Climate change is primarily driven by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Reducing these emissions globally requires a massive effort at the individual, city, and national scales. Urban areas are hotspots of anthropogenic emissions, given the high density of human-based activities, and clarity on the variations of emissions in these areas will enable effective targeted reduction plans. Ho
High latitude mires are key ecosystems in the context of climate change since they store large amounts of carbon while constituting an important natural source of methane (CH4). However, while a growing number of studies have investigated methane fluxes (FCH4) at the plot- (~1 m2) and ecosystem-scale (~0.1–0.5 km2) across the boreal biome, variations of FCH4 magnitudes and drivers at the mesoscale
The keystone species concept holds that certain members of an ecological community, despite their low abundance, exert disproportionately large effects on species diversity and composition. In microbial ecology, experimental validation of this concept has been limited because targeted removal of individual species remains technically challenging. Here, we developed a procedure to test the keystone
Effective environmental policies for the tropics depend on accurate, representative scientific data. However, there is strong evidence from particular disciplines and regions that existing research is patchily distributed. Here, we show that poor representation of sampling and citation in some biomes and across key environmental gradients from all disciplines for the entire tropics may lead to fla
