Objectives To update the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS)-EULAR recommendations for the management of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Following the EULAR Standardised Operating Procedures, two systematic literature reviews were conducted on non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment of axSpA. In a task force meeting, the evidence was presented, discussed
In computer-vision feature extraction algorithms, compressing the image into a sparse set of trackable keypoints, empowers navigation-critical systems such as Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) in autonomous robots, and also other applications such as augmented reality and 3D reconstruction. Most of those applications are performed in battery-powered gadgets featuring in common a very st
The manuscript is devoted to optimal control for a class of linear positive systems with linear objective function and linear constraints. The solution to the corresponding Bellman equation is a linear value function, which can be found by linear programming.
In this study, two methods for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) dimensioning were compared: (1) a traditional guideline-based approach, and (2) a mechanistic model-based approach. The design outputs depended on uncertainties in correlated influent concentrations, which emphasises the importance of uncertainty analysis. The results showed that model-based design could simplify and reduce the time
While climate change adaptation research has increasingly focused on aspects of culture, a systematic treatment of the role of legal culture in how communities respond to climate risk has yet to be produced. This is despite the fact that law and legal authority are implicated in most, if not all, of the ways in which actors seek to reduce the risks posed to communities by climate change. Using a s
Purpose: We developed a method of standardizing the heart-to-mediastinal ratio in 123I-labeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) images using a conversion coefficient derived from a dedicated phantom. This study aimed to create a machine-learning (ML) model to estimate conversion coefficients without using a phantom. Methods: 210 Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of 123I-MIBG images to obtain conversion
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To evaluate the benefits and harms of stem cell-based interventions for the treatment of stroke in newborn infants compared to control (placebo or no treatment) or stem-cell based interventions of a different type or source.
This presentation discusses ways in which veganism can be conceptualized as political participation. What are the political aspects of the increasingly popular practice, which by some is understood as a personal dietary choice, by others a conscious lifestyle, and by still others a part of a broader emancipatory project of multispecies justice? The presentation argues that the rising vegan movemen
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera statsansvar för folkmord, och gör detta mer specifikt genom att undersöka frågan om ansvar för medhjälp till folkmord samt mens rea elementet i folkmordsdefinitionen. År 2007 meddelade ICJ sin dom i the Genocide case, där en av de centrala frågorna för domstolen var ifall en stat kunde hållas ansvarig för folkmord under Folkmordskonventionen. ICJ konstateraThis thesis seeks to analyze the international responsibility of states for genocide, and more particularly does so by looking closer at complicity in genocide and the mens rea element of the definition. In 2007 the ICJ rendered its judgment in the Genocide case, where one of the key issues before the Court was whether a state could be held responsible for genocide under the Genocide Convention.
Due to climate change more frequent and vigorous weather events are expected. This can be extreme precipitation that can lead to flooding, heat waves and drought. When urban areas are densified the imperviousness of the land surface will grow due to the increase of hard surfaces. This makes the areas more vulnerable to flooding and the hard surface will trap heat in the city which can result in hi
Conflicts are destructive for humans and societies, but are openings for rebuilding a more inclusive and sustainable society presented in the aftermath of conflict? This paper contributes to the growing research field and examines the link between conflict and window of opportunity for development, through a gender lens. Further, this study seeks to understand how conflict affected women’s socio
Data compression methods allow more data to be stored within a certain storage framework while still keeping the characteristics of the data in question. At the Large Hadron Collider on the grounds of CERN in Switzerland, limited data storage capability is and has always been an urgent problem. At the ATLAS experiment, one technique which allows researchers to save more data within the same storag
2017 inkom 153 olika remissyttranden från bland annat Statens skolverk och Statens kulturråd, med förslag för hur transpersoner i Sverige kan få stärkt ställning och levnadsvillkor i Sverige (SOU 2017:92). Mot bakgrund av detta har denna studie för avsikt att kartlägga trans*+sångares och sånglärares uppfattningar om och upplevelser av hur de arbetar tillsammans i individuell sångundervisningen. S153 inquiries were made in 2017 by, among others, The National Agency for Education in Sweden and the Swedish Arts Council in regard to how to improve transgender people’s position and living conditions in Sweden (SOU 2017:92). The purpose of this study is to survey the observations and experiences of trans*+ singers and singing teachers in an educational environment, and how their roles coincide
Uppsatsen ämnar att utreda, inom ramen av den svenska arbetsrätten och gig-ekonomin, vem det är som ansvarar för gig-arbetarna och deras arbetsmiljö. “Gig-ekonomin” eller även kallat “plattformsekonomin” är en arbetsform som växt fram ur digitaliseringen och har resulterat i nya sätt att organisera arbetet. Ofta beskrivs arbetet inom gig-ekonomin ur ett trepartsförhållande, där det finns en tillhaIn recent years the “gig-economy” has been established in the Swedish labor market and has grown exponentially in numbers ever since. Different forms of labor in the gig-economy include “crowd-work” and “work-on-demand via apps” under which the demand and supply of working activities is matched online or through mobile apps. Gig-work is often based on flexibility and provides a possible match of j
This paper examines how permaculture in Denmark can contribute to the green transition towards a sustainable state. Permaculture offer a practical design on how to live a sustainable life including a practical detailed design to farming. By analysing collected material through semi-structured interviews with the framework ”Capitalism and its Criticism” originated from the two sociologist Boltanski
