Background/aims: Acid–base status is important for understanding pathophysiology, making a diagnosis, planning effective treatment and monitoring progress of critically ill patients. Manual calculations are cumbersome, easily result in wrong conclusions. We wanted to develop an automated assessment of acid–base status. Methods: A simplified adaptive MATLAB script processing all available theory to
Establishing species limits is challenging, particularly for pathogens of wildlife. These pathogens can be difficult to sample and culture, and their genome sequencing must often be conducted in the presence of high levels of host DNA. Plasmodium relictum is a mosquito-vectored avian malaria pathogen that is a globally distributed host generalist, comprised of several genetic lineages. We used seq
The accuracy of NOAA AVHRR NDVI maximum value composites can be poor due to interference from several sources, including cloud cover. The objectives of this paper are; 1. to accurately quantify noise in this imagery over Africa using geostatistics, and 2. to test four compositing techniques that may be able to reduce this noise. The nugget of the variogram model is used to compute standardized noi
To be able to survive in the long run the medical device industry of today needs effective development processes and ways to secure quality. These development processes and quality assurance processes must follow the different laws and regulations over the world depending on what market the organisations are established on. Organisations have been developing medical devices and systems over many y
A passive system is one that cannot produce energy, a property that naturally poses constraints on the system. In this paper there is a review of some results on linear, time translational invariant, continuous, causal and passive systems, where it turns out that Herglotz functions are related to the Fourier transform of the impulse response of such systems. Some well known facts of this function
Background: The majority of candidate theses in baccalaureate nursing programs in Sweden are written as literature studies. Being able to carry out a systematic and structured literature search is an essential part of thesis-related work. Aim: The aim of the current study was to investigate changes in nursing students’ search strategies in candidate theses. Methods: A retrospective, quantitative s
Clinical pathological diagnosis and prognosis for cancer is often confounded by spatial tissue heterogeneity. This study investigates the utility of entropy as a robust quantitative metric of spatial disorder within Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) chemical images of breast cancer tissue. The use of entropy is grounded in its capacity to encapsulate the complexities of pixel-wise spectral intensi
Collecting enough labeled images to train an artificial neural network (ANN) is a common struggle since the process is tedious, time consuming and expensive. CellaVision, a company that creates analyzers that automate the process of finding and pre-classifying abnormal blood cells using machine learning, runs into this problem regularly. When new generations of analyzers are being produced, the im
This paper investigates the last two months of the Vietnam War, March and April 1975, from the CIA:s perspective. During the last two decades, the CIA have declassified many documents about the Vietnam war, thus making new source material available. The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban conquest, has also sparked a renewed interest in the Vietnam war. Hence,
Eftersom information blir mer och mer tillgänglig börjar företag idag leta efter potentiella sätt att använda informationen för att blir mer attraktiva på marknaden. Ett sätt att utnyttja informationen på är att stödja datadrivna beslut. Målet med detta examensarbetet är att utveckla och designa en applikation som underlättar datadrivna beslut för företaget Grade AB. Detta genom att erbjuda behövaWith data becoming more and more abundant, companies will want to use this data in meaningful ways to gain competitive advantages on the market. One way of utilizing the data is to make data-driven decisions, which is often called data-driven decision-making. The goal of this master's thesis is to develop and design an application for the company Grade AB to alleviate data-driven decisions mad
The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an energy conversion device that uses hydrogen as fuel to produce electrical energy. The fuel cell is, however, very sensitive toward CO, thus, amounts over 10 ppm will poison the Pt-based anode part of the fuel cell. Preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO-PROX) is considered to be the most efficient way of eliminating CO to such low con
Retrieval orientations refer to cognitive states that, if adopted, tonically orients episodic retrieval attempts towards the sought-after type of information. Such orientations can enhance episodic retrieval by modulating the processing and effectiveness of retrieval cues. The current study investigated if retrieval orientations are adopted volitionally and spontaneously, as previous studies have
Ett fungerande vattennät är vitalt för ett idag fungerande samhälle. Då ~55 % av Sveriges Vattenledningar är gjutjärnsledningar och har en ålder på upp emot 100 år, är korrosion av ledningar idag ett stort problem. Undersökningar av dessa ledningar är tidskrävande och kostsamma då det sker genom uppschaktningar. Denna studie är en del av ett s.k. Vinnova-projekt, där Lunds tekniska högskola (LTH) An operational water system is vital for a modern working community. In Sweden ~55 % of the water pipes are made up by cast iron and has a wide age-variety, some in excess of 100 years. Corrosion is fatal for these pipes and need thorough inspections for maintaining their functionality. Today the method for inspection of these pipes is conducted through expensive and time consuming excavations. Th
Stop complaining, you got laid! – A gender scientific text analysis based on how male victims of rape are portrayed on Flashback What is perceived as masculine and what attributes our society deam consistant with being male is something that varies from place to place, and is ever changing. We wanted to examine how people talk about these things to better understand the social order we live in a
Skadeståndsrätten har de senaste decennierna genomgått en omfattande europeisering där Sveriges förhållningssätt har gått från en simpel konventionskonform tolkning av Europakonventionen till att idag diskutera den så kallade strålningseffekten. Uppsatsen utgår ifrån denna strålningseffekt och låter den bejakas i två hypotetiska situationer inom områdena förtal och arbetsrättsliga stridsåtgärder fIn recent decades, tort law has undergone an extensive Europeanisation, where Sweden's approach has gone from a simple Convention-compliant interpretation of the ECHR to a discussion of the so-called radiation effect. The essay allows the radiation effect to be affirmed in two hypothetical situations in the areas of defamation and industrial action in order to examine the way in which tort dis

A major barrier for cancer immunotherapy is the presence of suppressive cell populations in patients with cancer, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), which contribute to the immunosuppressive microenvironment that promotes tumor growth and metastasis. Tasquinimod is a novel antitumor agent that is currently at an advanced stage of clinical develo
