Remote sensing data has been proven capable and efficient as a powerful resource for large-scale land cover mapping. However, a map is considered acceptable with the required accuracy value. The problem related to sampling is how the sample amount and sample technique affect the accuracy of the land cover mapping. Furthermore, the accuracy assessment for mapping usually only utilizes accuracy meas

The aim of the creation of this cohort was to investigate patterns of health and health care utilisation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, overall and in relation to specific diagnoses, among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) compared to the general population. People living in Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, on 1st of January 2014 with at least one diagnosis of ID (ICD-1

SKA Construction phase we are now in a transition phase that hopefully will prepare us for the next challenge: start building the SKA. One of the targets of this period is to evaluate the suitability of the Taranta (proper Webjive) Suite for creating engineering User Interfaces (UIs). The Taranta suite is a framework that allows the fast creation of web UIs that directly communicate with TANGO dev

Background: The complex polarity of neurons requires specialized mechanisms to allocate sufficient number of mitochondria to neurites and synapses to control local calcium and ATP levels. Deficits in trafficking are directly linked to neurodegeneration. Our objective is to demonstrate that alterations of mitochondrial spatial location and metabolism are interconnected and can lead to point-of-no-r

This article offers a history of the digital music archive at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR). By looking into archival documents, reviewing interviews and analyzing interfaces, the article examines visions and strategies behind the digital music archive and its in-house platform, /Diskoteket, and based on this the article assesses whether or not DR’s archival strategies play an active ro

Proponents of religious non-doxasticism standardly aim to show how a commitment to traditional religion can be rational in the absence of religious belief. We demonstrate how the non-doxastic framework can be given a much wider application. In a study on Swedish semi-secularity, sociologist Ann af Burén has discovered a pattern where subjects simultaneously entertain naturalistic and supernatural

A wide spread of existing and emerging battery driven wireless devices do not necessarily demand high data rates. Rather, ultra low power, portability and low cost are the most desired characteristics. Examples of such applications are wireless sensor networks (WSN), body area networks (BAN), and a variety of medical implants and health-care aids. Being small, cheap and low power for the individua

At the end of the 19th century, Wilhelm Windelband proposed a distinction between nomothetic and idiographic re-search, which became highly relevant for the discussion of the nature of psychological science. During the 20th cen-tury, a number of writers (including William Stern, Gordon Allport, James Lamiell and David Magnusson) have criti-cized the focus on variables rather than persons, and popu

Observations from three case studies of public sector reforms are reported. These observations concern managerial attitudes to personnel resistance, and they reveal how management talks of resistance either as an emotional reaction or as a personality trait with certain employees. Based on these assumptions it is considered legitimate to disregard employee objections. Personnel were invited to the

Statsmakterna kräver nu att verksamheterna vid Sveriges universitet och högskolor ska genomsyras av ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Riksdagen har nu beslutat att dessa verksamheter ska ”främja en hållbar utveckling”. I regeringens Budgetproposition 2005/06:1 återfanns förslag till lag om ändring i högskolelagen. Där föreskrevs att 1 kap. 5 § högskolelagen (1992:1434) skall ha följande lydelse: Högskol

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child state that in all actions concerning children the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration. Children are capable of forming their own views and have the right to express those views freely. The school plays an important role in empowering children in this socialization process and Swedish schools have in its educational assignment a

Requirements engineering for commercial off-the-shelf software packages entails special challenges. This paper presents preliminary results from an empirical study investigating these challenges through a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews. The survey is exploratory with the objective of eliciting relevant topics for further research. Seven employees at five software companies w
