Context. Determination and calibration of the ages of stars, which heavily rely on stellar evolutionary models, are very challenging, while representing a crucial aspect in many astrophysical areas. Aims. We describe the methodologies that, taking advantage of Gaia-DR1 and the Gaia-ESO Survey data, enable the comparison of observed open star cluster sequences with stellar evolutionary models. The
OBJECTIVES: To describe the long-term perspective regarding prevalence of risk factors, secondary stroke prevention, and lifestyle indices after stroke.METHODS: From a population-based one-year cohort (n = 416), we performed an observational study of 145 survivors at 16 months and 10 years after stroke (age 27-97 years) regarding secondary prevention including reaching acceptable treatment goals;
Coagulation activation and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are hallmarks of cancer; however, there is an unmet need of improved biomarkers for individualized anticoagulant treatment. The present sub-study of the RASTEN trial was designed to explore the role of coagulation biomarkers in predicting VTE risk and outcome in a homogenous cancer patient population. RASTEN is a multicenter, randomized phase
This article is about psychiatric patients’ life stories. I explore how best to handle patient narratives in the history of medicine and, more specifically, in the history of psychiatry. By applying a narrative and phenomenological analysis – seldom used in historical studies of psychiatry and psychiatric care – the aim is a new understanding of patient stories both as historically situated and as
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) achieve very high accuracy in segmenting various anatomical structures in medical images but often suffer from relatively poor generalizability. Multi-atlas segmentation (MAS), while less accurate than DCNN in many applications, tends to generalize well to unseen datasets with different characteristics from the training dataset. Several groups have attempt
Abstract: The aim of this chapter was to analyze associations between measures of cortisol in salivaand mental health and to see if divergent results were functions of the methods used. Measures ofmental health outcome included Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), symptoms of depression, andsymptoms of anxiety, Burnout (BO), and Vital Exhaustion (VE). Only studies on otherwise healthyindividuals were
Big Data has experienced recent developments in the field of Business Intelligence and has captured the increasing interest of enterprises who are trying to seize its potential. More and more companies, operating in industries ranging from insurance to the entertainment industry, are moving forward with the adoption of Big Data, in an attempt to gain significant benefits, such as customer insight,
This study makes a numeric and visual comparison of two different multibeam echo sounding (MBES) surveys performed at the exact same location, in an effort to establish how reliable and comparable the vertical depth measurements are. The horizontal position uncertainty is not issued in this study. The analysis was performed on data delivered by two survey contractors, The Norwegian Coastal Admini
Ett av mina starkaste minnen kring arkitektur är minnet ä av en pojke som cyklar på en trehjuling Han trampar snabbt på tramporna och far fram genom korridorerna inne på hotellet där han bor. Dörrarna in till hotellrummen på vardera sidan om honom svischar snabbt förbi. Trehjulingens däck låter dämpat mot den mjuka mattan på golvet när pojken cyklar om hörn efter hörn innan han plötsligt stannar fOne of my strongest memories concerning architecture is the memory of a boy, riding his tricycle. He’s pedaling fast. He’s shooting through the corridors of the hotel where he’s living with his mom and dad. The doors to the hotel rooms on either side of him pass by in a fast pace. The wheels of the tricycle make muffled sounds against the soft carpets on the floor as the boy rides passed one corne
År 1994 såg det internationella samfundet passivt på medan uppskattnings-vis 800 000 människor förlorade sina liv i ett folkmord i Rwanda. Fem år senare inledde NATO en militär intervention i Kosovo med argumentet att det rörde sig om en "humanitär intervention". I båda fallen var säkerhetsrå-det oförmöget eller ovilligt att agera, trots att det var tänkt att agera som beskyddare av värlIn 1994 the international community stood idly by while an estimated 800.000 people lost their lives in a genocide in Rwanda. Five years later, NATO launched its military intervention in Kosovo, with the argument that it was a ‘humanitarian intervention’. In both cases, the Security Council was unable or unwilling to act although it was supposed to act as the protector of world peace and security.
Det här är ett masterarbete kring relationen mellan ADHD och musik, inte inom medicin. Med arbetet vill jag lyfta upp fördelar, hyperförmågor och den stora kreativa potential som ADHD ger mig som musiker. Jag fick ADHD-diagnosen först efter flera års studier på Musikhögskolan, och hade innan dess levt 30 år med bara nackdelar med ADHD. Eftersom jag var missnöjd med medicinen tänkte jag “out of theFinding my inner Nimrud - my life as an ADHD musician This is a master's thesis on the relationship between ADHD and music, not in medicine. With this work, I aim to highlight the advantages, hyper-abilities and great creative potential that ADHD give me as a musician. I got the ADHD diagnosis after 4 years of study at the Academy of Music. Before that I lived 30 years with only the disadvanta
De senaste åren har den organiserade brottslighet i Sverige ökat markant. Landet pekas ut som skräckexempel i världen och antalet skjutningar och sprängningar ökar år för år. Samtidigt finns en utbredd tystnadskultur där allt färre svenskar vågar vittna mot den tilltalade vid ett misstänkt brott på grund av rädsla för hot och repressalier. Mot bakgrund av den otrygghet många känner i dagens samhälIn recent years, organized crime in Sweden has grown significantly. The country is pointed out as a warning example in the world, while the number of shootings and explosions increases year by year. At the same time, there is a widespread culture of silence due to which many witnesses do not dare to testify against the accused in the event of a suspected crime, partly out of a strong fear of threa
No oral modification-klausuler är en typ av boilerplate-klausul som är vanligt förekommande i svenska och internationella avtal. De går att identifiera genom att de typiskt sätt begränsar avtalsparter från att göra ändringar i avtalet på något annat sätt än skriftligt, även kallat ett skriftkrav. Ett exempel på en NOM-klausul är: ”Alla ändringar av detta avtal måste göras skriftligen.” Dessa klausNo oral modification clauses are a type of boilerplate clause commonly found in Swedish and international contracts. They can be identified by the fact that they typically restrict contracting parties from making changes to the contract in any way other than in writing, also known as a writing requirement. An example of a NOM clause is: "All changes to this contract must be made in writing.&q
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Sverige kom att få fri abort genom att redogöra för argumentationen som fördes under riksdagsdebatten år 1974 gällande införandet av den nya abortlagen. Det görs genom rättshistorisk metod och materialet som har använts är främst riksdagsprotokollen från debatten. För att sätta in riksdagsdebatten i sitt sammanhang berör uppsatsen även kort en överblick The purpose of this essay is to investigate how Sweden got free abortion by examining the arguments made during the parliamentary debate in 1974, which concerned the legislation of free abortion. This is done using a legal historical method and the material that has been used consists mainly of the protocols from the debate. To put the debate in its context the thesis also gives an overview over
En utlänning som begår brott med fängelse i straffskalan kan utvisas ur Sverige. Utlänningen måste, för att utvisning ska bli aktuellt, dömas till ett strängare straff än böter och det måste antingen föreligga en risk för återfall i brottslighet eller vara fråga om ett brott som är så allvarligt att utlänningen inte bör få stanna i landet. Vid prövningen av utvisningsfrågan ska domstolen dessutom A foreigner who commits a crime that has prison in the punishment scale can be expelled from Sweden. For expulsion to become relevant the foreigner must be sentenced to a more severe penalty than a fine. There must also be a risk of relapse in crime or be a matter of such a severe crime that the foreigner should not be allowed to stay in the country. When the court examine the expulsion issue, it
Wood decay fungi are often classified as either brown rot or white rot, depending on their mechanism of accessing nutrients in wood. This dichotomy assumes that white rot fungi break down lignin with various enzymes, while brown rot fungi leave it mostly unmodified and instead bypass it with diffusion of small molecules to reach the desired hemicellulose and cellulose. The effect of different sour
With the emergence of industrialisation, the work-life balance has become a point of discussion in many industries, among which the aviation industry. Distortions in the work-life balance became especially apparent when 24/7 economies evolved, and industries made a transition to facilitate and serve these economies. Incidents and accident have since then been related to fatigue more than before. T
Experimental Evolution: From hermaphrodite to two sexes! When one hears the word evolution most of us think of Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection. He once said, ”It is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. We will get back to that, but a very important thing here is that the timeframe he is talking about is mil
Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin
