In this chapter a technology for the enhancement of video data obtained at low light levels is presented. The method was inspired by the way in which nocturnal animals adaptively sum intensities, spatially and temporally, to improve vision at night. Due to the low photon count under these conditions the visual input is dark and unreliable, which leads to noisy low contrast images. The noise become

BACKGROUND: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs addressing risk factor management, educational interventions, and exercise contribute to reduce mortality after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the fulfillment of guideline-recommended CR targets is currently unsatisfactory. eHealth, i.e., the use of electronic communication for healthcare, including the use of mobile smartphone applications co

Att utveckla kollektivtrafiken är ett viktigt steg för att uppnå de klimatmål Sverige har åtagit sig att följa. Ett verktyg i utformningen och kapacitetsutvecklingen av hållplatserna är trafiksimulering. Detta arbete utforskar hur hållplatser kan på bästa sätt modelleras och kalibreras för fotgängare i programmet Vissim som är en simuleringsmjukvara utvecklad av företaget PTV Group. Vid kalibreriThe development of public transport is an important step toward reaching the climate goals Sweden has set. Traffic simulation is an instrument when developing and designing public transport stops. This thesis investigates how public transport stops can be modeled and calibrated for pedestrians in the PTV groups software Vissim. During the calibration, the platform was divided into four different z

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I Arktis finns det enorma lager av kol som ligger i och under permafrosten, vilket är frusen mark som inte har tinat på två år. Mycket tyder på att delar av dessa lager är känsliga för en temperaturökning och idag sker en pågående uppvärmning. Arktis värms snabbare än övriga jorden på grund av att vit reflekterande is och snö smälter, vilket resulterar i att hav The permafrost area in the Arctic region contains vast carbon stocks within and beneath the permafrost, which is frozen ground that has not thawed in two years. These carbon stocks are sensitive to ongoing global warming. When the white and reflective snow and ice melts, the remaining land and sea surfaces absorb more shortwave radiation and get warmer. Heat transport to the Arctic will also incre

Information technology is in common use in our society and has affected government offices around the world and in Sweden as well. This has created a whole new form of administration that uses computerised aid in handling areas that generate a big amount of cases. Earlier examples of this within the Swedish administration is the tax authority's tax return through the Internet or by SMS and the

Eco-urbanism is today’s mainstream approach to urban greening and sustainability. This approach, however, remains disconnected from issues of social justice. As a reaction, urban political ecology (UPE) argues for greater engagement with urban activists’ dissensus as a strategy to develop more just sustainable cities. Through a UPE lens, and drawing on green gentrification and right to the city th
