We present a user study analyzing head-gaze- based robot control and foveated visual augmentation in a simulated search-and-rescue task. Results show that foveated augmentation significantly improves task performance, reduces cognitive load by 38%, and shortens task time by over 60%. Head-gaze patterns analysed over both the entire task duration and shorter time segments show that near and far att
This paper explores the dynamics of human-robot collaboration through a comparative study of human-assisted and system-assisted approaches in a search and rescue application. Leveraging virtual environments and mixed-reality interfaces, the study evaluates task performance, workload, usability, and subjective experiences of participants. Results indicate that the system-assisted approach significa
Robotic systems often face execution failures due to unexpected obstacles, sensor errors, or environmental changes. Traditional failure recovery methods rely on predefined strategies or human intervention, making them less adaptable. This paper presents a unified failure recovery framework that combines Vision-Language Models (VLMs), a reactive planner, and Behavior Trees (BTs) to enable real-time
For centuries, people have appreciated the taste of wild mushrooms which can be found in nature throughout the European continent and the Fennoscandian peninsula. This is especially so for those of the order of Cantharellales, where you find the Golden Chanterelle among others. Today the commercial aspect of mushroom harvesting has resulted in regulations and guidelines set out by the Nordic Counc
The concept of run-o triangles is widely used within the actuarial eld. Its purpose is to estimate Incurred But Not Reported claims for insurance portfolios, in order to set appropriate reserves that are in compliance with regulatory requirements as well as the company's risk appetite. In this thesis, a parametric approach is proposed, where the portfolios are modeled using non-stationary dist
In May of 2016, the Swedish parliament voted yes to a Memorandum of Understanding between NATO and Sweden. The agreement was criticized by its opponents, who claimed that there was no public debate leading up to its acceptance, and that it changes the Swedish approach to defense politics, which has traditionally been one of neutrality. Both ruling parties in Sweden at the time of the vote, the Soc
Given two neural network classifiers with the same in-put and output domains, our goal is to compare the two networksin relation to each other over an entire input region (e.g., within avicinity of an input sample). To this end, we establish the foundationof formal local implication between two networks, i.e., N2D=⇒ N1, in an entire input region D. That is, network N1 consistently makesa correct d
Knowledge in statistics is essential to draw solid conclusions from data. This chapter covers the basic concepts needed to navigate in the world of biostatistics, with the aim that the reader should know what to search for when encountering new situations. First, the chapter introduces basic concepts such as scales of measurement, relation between sample and population, and features of stochastic
As a result of a careful examination of the available Swedish material of the genus Clambus Fischer von Waldheim,1821 (Coleoptera: Clambidae), our current understanding of the Swedish Clambus fauna is revised. A total of 1844 specimens were identified from museum specimens as well as private collections, resulting in eight species belonging to the Swedish fauna. In the past there was confusion abo
Specific features of white matter microstructure can be investigated by using biophysical models to interpret relaxation-diffusion MRI brain data. Although more intricate models have the potential to reveal more details of the tissue, they also incur time-consuming parameter estimation that may converge to inaccurate solutions due to a prevalence of local minima in a degenerate fitting landscape.
Mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been extensively defined both molecularly and functionally at steady state, while regenerative stress induces immunophenotypical changes that limit high purity isolation and analysis. It is therefore important to identify markers that specifically label activated HSCs to gain further knowledge about their molecular and functional properties. Here, we asse
In the last decade, digitalized automated decision-making (ADM) has been implemented in many Swedish municipal social services to achieve values such as legal security, client empowerment and time efficiency. The paper aims to understand how ADM policy is legitimized and performed through time efficiency, by a comparison of ADM policy in two Swedish municipalities’ social assistance agencies.

This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of various wireless networks for Teleoperated Driving (ToD) applications, focusing on a hoverboard as a test vehicle. The study compares end-To-end delay and jitter across five network setups: A private 5 G network, a wireless LAN, a public LTEA network, and two wireless CANs, based on the service level requirements outlined by the 5G Automotive Assoc
Non-invasive evaluation of glymphatic function has emerged as a crucial goal in neuroimaging, and diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) has emerged as a candidate method for this purpose. Reduced ALPS index has been suggested to indicate impaired glymphatic function. However, the potential impact of crossing fibres on the ALPS index has not been assessed, which was the a
