"This new edition of Lund and Learning paints a picture of Lund as a city of learning, from the age of the medieval bishops to the university reforms of the 1990s."

We systematically investigate the complexity of counting subgraph patterns modulo fixed integers. For example, it is known that the parity of the number of k-matchings can be determined in polynomial time by a simple reduction to the determinant. We generalize this to an nf(t,s)-time algorithm to compute modulo 2t the number of subgraph occurrences of patterns that are s vertices away from being m

We examine here how issues of gender and religion are employed for ideological purposes in the discourses of radical right populist parties in Sweden and Finland. We begin with the complexity of these societies as paragons of social welfare and gender equality, within which Lutheran Christianity discreetly underpins their largely secularised character. Employing a poststructuralist methodological

As the highest level of cloud computing delivery model, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has gained considerable popularity in the industry as a new way of deploying IT solutions, due to its low cost and high elasticity. However, the new business model associated with SaaS highlights the importance for SaaS vendors to understand how to retain customers in a hyper-competitive market. In particular, inc

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) uses unlabeled data during training to learn better models. Previous studies on SSL for medical image segmentation focused mostly on improving model generalization to unseen data. In some applications, however, our primary interest is not generalization but to obtain optimal predictions on a specific unlabeled database that is fully available during model development

To examine whether sequence-specific antibodies directed against serum amyloid A were useful in the demonstration and classification of amyloidosis, needle biopsy specimens from the kidneys of 152 cases with renal disorders were investigated using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique of immunohistochemistry. A distinct immunoreactivity of protein AA was seen in biopsies from all 42 indiv

An enzyme which converts D-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole has recently been isolated from rat liver. Enzymatic D-dopachrome conversion has been observed in extracts from all tissues examined of several species, including man. We have now cloned and sequenced a 628 bp long cDNA encoding the enzyme provisionally called D-dopachrome tautomerase. The cDNA was isolated by 3' and 5' rapid amplifica

The effects of human cystatin C on bone resorption, enzyme release, osteoclast generation, bone cell proliferation and bone matrix protein biosynthesis have been examined in different in vitro systems. The effects of cystatin C were compared with those of calcitonin and E 64 (trans-Epoxysuccinyl-L-leucyl-amido-(4-guanidino)butane). Recombinant human cystatin C and E 64 dose dependently inhibited t

The chiral aldehydes (-)-(2S,5S)- and (-)-(2S,5R)-2-[[[dimethyl( 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl)silyl]oxy]methyl]-5-methoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carbaldehyde (2 and 4) were synthesized in 60 and 15% yield, respectively, by lithium bromide induced rearrangement of 6-O-silylated methyl 2,3- and 3,4-anhydro-a- and -d-D-hexopyranosides, obtained in two steps from methyl α- and β-D-glucopyranoside. Rearrangement

α-Trinositol analogues, including methyl ethers, deoxy, oxa and aza derivatives were prepared. The parent compound possesses weak analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Removal of the non-phosphorylated hydroxyls generates a compound devoid of analgesic activity but which retains the anti-inflammatory property of the parent compound. The protection of these hydroxyls as methyl ethers lends to

Objectives. Social mentality theory outlines how specialist systems have evolved to facilitate different types of social behaviour such as caring for offspring, forming alliances, and competing for resources. This research explored how different types of self-experience are linked to the different social mentalities of competitive social ranking (focusing on gaining and defending one's social posi

In this paper, we compare the transient performance of a multi-terminal high-voltage DC (MTDC) grid equipped with a slack bus for voltage control to that of two distributed control schemes: A standard droop controller and a distributed averaging proportional-integral (DAPI) controller. We evaluate performance in terms of an ℋ2 metric that quantifies expected deviations from nominal voltages, and s
