In order to accurately assess the quality of low-resolution biogeophysical parameter products, accurate scale transformations are essential. However, different scaling models often lead to inconsistent transformation results. More worryingly, many biogeophysical parameters are not scale-invariant, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which makes the quality assessment of low-
Introduction: The Hippo signaling pathway is a key regulator of cellular growth and organ size, acting through the transcriptional coactivators YAP and TAZ. These proteins shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm in response to Hippo pathway activity, which, when active, leads to cytoplasmic sequestration and degradation of YAP/TAZ, preventing them from initiating gene transcription. Although ini
The etiology of type 1 diabetes foreshadows the pancreatic islet beta-cell autoimmune pathogenesis that heralds the clinical onset of type 1 diabetes. Standardized and harmonized tests of autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), islet antigen-2 (IA-2A) and ZnT8 transporter (ZnT8A) allowed children to be followed from birth until the appearance of a first islet auto
Molecular radiotherapy combines the advantages of systemic administration of highly specific antibodies or peptides and the localized potency of ionizing radiation. A potential target for molecular radiotherapy is the cell surface antigen CD44v6, which is overexpressed in numerous cancers, with limited expression in normal tissues. The aim of the present study was to generate and characterize a pa
IntroductionBeta-lactam antibiotics are essential in the treatment of Gram-negative bloodstream infections. The effect of beta-lactam antibiotics depends on the time of unbound antibiotic concentration above the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). An antibiotic concentration above MIC during the whole dosing interval (100% ƒT > MIC) has been suggested as a target for severe infections. The aim
Three fine grained WC-10 vol% Co cemented carbide materials were produced. One with 1 w% Cr addition, one with 0.025 w% Ti addition and one with both additions of 1 w% Cr and 0.025 w% Ti. It was found that doping of both Cr and Ti is advantageous for grain growth inhibition over just Cr- or Ti-doping. The impact of Cr and Ti as grain growth inhibitors on the residual stress state after sintering w
Recently, there has been a significant rise in research and development focused on deep learning (DL) models within healthcare. This trend arises from the availability of extensive medical imaging data and notable advances in graphics processing unit (GPU) computational capabilities. Trained DL models show promise in supporting clinicians with tasks like image segmentation and classification. Howe
Popular summary: Air quality data mart built in this study consists of historical air pollutant data for cities across Ontario. This data is available at the Ontario ministry of environment website from 2000-2007 for most of the cities. There is missing data for some of the cities and some pollutants as well. It is because the monitoring of those specific pollutants did not commence in or before 2
Composite steel and concrete structures can resist a fire, mostly because of the thermal properties of the concrete. This report examines a composite beam, HPC-beam, when the beam is exposed to standardized fire. The beam is designed after Eurocode and the Swedish national document. The material parameters are taken from the same sources. These material parameters are used as input data for applic
Uppsatsen som har författats behandlar våld mot tjänsteman med särskilt fokus på vilken betydelse kroppskamerabevisning har i tillämpningen av lagrummet. Syftet är att analysera hur våld mot tjänsteman ska förstås och vidare se prov på hur kroppskamera påverkar domstolarnas bedömning av händelseförloppet i praktiken. Arbetet kombinerar ett rättsdogmatiskt arbetssätt med en empirisk undersökning avThis thesis examines the offence of violence against a public official, with a particular focus on the role of body-worn camera evidence in the application of the law. The purpose of the thesis is to analyse how violence against a public official should be understood and to examine how body-worn cameras affect the courts’ assessment of events in practice. The study combines a legal analysis with a
De senaste åren har präglats av en alltmer repressiv kriminalpolitik, något som även påverkat särbehandlingen av unga lagöverträdare. I juli 2023 tillsatte regeringen genom kommittédirektivet Skärpta regler för unga lagöverträdare (dir. 2023:112) en utredning som ska överväga bland annat en sänkt straffmyndighetsålder samt föreslå hur ålder kan ges minskad betydelse vid straffmätningen för unga laThe recent years have been characterized by an increasingly repressive criminal policy, something that has also affected the treatment of young offenders. In July 2023, the Swedish government appointed an inquiry through the Committee Skärpta regler för unga lagöverträdare (dir. 2023:112), which will consider, among other things, a lowering of the age of criminal responsibility and propose how age
User interfaces to control machines are a critical part of any technology that requires user inputs. The user interface works as a link between human and machine, and it is vital that this link is understandable for both parts. Therefore, the design of the interface is of great importance in order to fully utilize the capabilities the technology provides. Assa Abloy is a company that offers soluti
What is a, in the school, participating parent? That is the main question of this essay and study. The study involves interviews with 19 parents of children in the age 10-13, in the Karlshamn-region in Blekinge. Two schools in the region were included: one in the centre of the town Karlshamn and one in a smaller community on the countryside, outside Karlshamn. We also met with the principals of th
In this Master´s thesis I deal with the impact of European Community Law on chapter 57 regulations of the Swedish National Income Tax Act, IL, and regulations connected thereto. These rules specifically governs the taxation of shareholders in Swedish closely hold small and medium sized enterprises, SME:s, fåmansföretag. My purpose is thereby to investigate the principal question: whether or not ch
Purpose – Increasingly, last mile logistics is driven by customer-oriented strategies that requires better understanding of customers’ perceptions. This thesis views last-mile delivery as a service and aims to examine the relation of logistics service quality and other constructs used in service management literature to measure customers’ perception. Built on the operational definition of perceive
The American author Carson McCullers’s often non-normative fictional characters typically desire something they cannot have and thus a pattern of nonreciprocal love and desire permeate much of her work. Earlier scholarship on her fiction has focused on themes of isolation as well as the element of symbolism but also psychological approaches including Freudian and Jungian perspectives have been tak
