Speech has become an increasingly important source of non-invasive information for Parkinson's disease detection, but much existing work still relies on sustained vowels. This thesis investigates whether carefully represented continuous speech can provide added predictive value over a strong sustained-vowel benchmark. Using the NeuroVoz corpus, sustained-vowel recordings were first used to est
Det offentligrättsliga vitet utgör ett centralt påtryckningsmedel för att få enskilda att agera i enlighet med myndighetens beslut. Vitesinstitutet består av två beslut: beslut om vitesföreläggande och beslut om utdömande av vite. Beslutet att döma ut vitet är beroende av det första beslutet, vitesföreläggandet, eftersom det förutsätter att adressaten har brutit mot föreläggandet. Samtidigt kännetThe conditional fine in public law constitutes a key means of coercion to compel individuals to act in accordance with an authority’s decision. The system of conditional fines consists of two decisions: a decision to issue an order subject to a conditional fine and a decision to impose the conditional fine. The decision to impose the fine is contingent upon the first decision – the order subject t
Hur starkt är egentligen skyddet för den som blåser i visslan? Uppsatsen undersöker visselblåsarlagen, lag (2021:890) om skydd för personer som rapporterar om missförhållanden och om lagen uppfyller sitt syfte i praktiken: att kunna blåsa i visslan utan risk för repressalier. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är att den första rättsliga prövningen av lagen ägde rum i november 2023, när Uppsala tingsrätt How strong is the protection for whistleblowers? This paper examines the Whistleblowing Act, the Swedish Act (2021:890) on the Protection of Persons Reporting Wrongdoing and whether it fulfils its purpose in practice: enabling individuals to report misconduct without fear of reprisals. The background to this paper is that the first judicial review of the law took place in November 2023, when Upps
Despite the growing volume of available transportation data and the efforts of many cities to increase cycling levels, there remains a lack of data on where people cycle. The use of GPS trajectories have now been used in cycle studies for several years, and more recently large, crowdsourced datasets of GPS recorded cycle trips have become available and of interest to transportation and planning de
Stranderosion har länge utgjort ett stort problem vid många av Skånes sandiga kuster. Erosionen har varit speciellt svår vid Löderups strandbad. Det undersökta området består av en 2.6 km lång kustremsa. I de västra delarna där samhället ligger har stränderna varit skyddade av strandskoningar sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Trots dessa skydd har flera hus blivit förstörda under stormar de senaste deceSevere beach erosion has for long been a great problem for the house owners at Löderup seaside resort in Scania, south Sweden. Several houses have been destroyed during storms the last decades, despite constructions of sea walls. The aim of the investigation has been to describe the status and changes of the coastline during one year from April 1991 to April 1992, to determine the extent of the co
The existence of superconductivity (SC) appears to be established in both twisted and nontwisted graphene multilayers. However, whether their building block, single-layer graphene (SLG), can also host SC remains an open question. Earlier theoretical works predicted that SLG could become a chiral d-wave superconductor driven by electronic interactions when doped to its van Hove singularity, but que
Service life planning and performance classification are key issues in the building sector. Well-functioning 'performance models' are absolutely essential to predict the service life and functionality of buildings, building assets, and building products overtime. Different types of performance models have been established for various building materials, but cannot necessarily transferred to wood-b
Studien undersöker om en riktad manipulation kan påverka en försöksdeltagare att aktivt korrigera sin responstid vid ett implicit test gällande fördomar. Manipulationen gavs som falsk feedback efter ett SPF test (Sorting Paired Features task) och hypotesen var att personer som erhåller ingruppsfavoritism som feedback främst korrigerar sin responstid för sin ingrupp medans personer som erhåller fee
Abstract Through the concept of discourse we understand how the reality in one domain is constructed through linguistic combinations, where each of the signs receives its meaning in relation to one another . In the following essay I analyze, through Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, how the Sweden Democrats is trying to frame and establish their political discourse on immigration in the Swed
Following a boom of user-friendly artificial intelligence tools in recent years, AI-enhanced (or manipulated) films have been framed as a serious threat to film archives. The purpose of this article is to trace and critically evaluate how AI artists use algorithmic upscaling to modify early cinema, more particularly surviving films of the film company Swedish Biograph, and how fragments of this co
Fuel-cycle emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) carbon oxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), hydrocarbons (HC), methane (CH4), and particles are analysed from a life-cycle perspective for different biogas systems based oil six different raw materials. The gas is produced in large- or farm-scale biogas plants, and is used in boilers for heat production, in turbines for co-generatio
Background: Targeted temperature management is recommended after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and may be achieved using a variety of cooling devices. This study was conducted to explore the performance and outcomes for intravascular versus surface devices for targeted temperature management after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Method: A retrospective analysis of data from the Targeted Temperatu
Objective To detect possible sources of bias in ultrasound prediction of gestational age. Subjects and Methods Using the Swedish Medical Birth Registry, 571 617 women were identified who were delivered between 1990 and 1997 and who had obtainable information on last menstrual period and expected date of delivery according to ultrasound. Results Male fetuses were more likely than females to be judg

Fåmansföretagsreglerna, som återfinns i 56 och 57 kap. IL, fastställer om en delägares andelar i ett företag ska klassificeras som kvalificerade, vilket är avgörande för att bestämma vilket inkomstslag delägaren ska beskattas i. Reglerna infördes för att motverka att arbetsinkomster beskattas i inkomstslaget kapital i stället för tjänst. Utomståenderegeln fungerar som en begränsning av en alltföThe closely held company rules, found in Chapters 56 and 57 of the Income Tax Act, determine whether a shareholder’s shares in a company should be classified as qualified. This classification is crucial for deciding the income category in which the shareholder will be taxed. The rules were introduced to prevent income linked to a shareholder’s work efforts from being taxed as capital income rather
Det är obestridligt att arbetstagare i större utsträckning än andra kommer i kontakt med hemlig information på arbetsplatsen, som vid en spridning kan medföra skada för arbetsgivaren. Denna uppsats undersöker arbetsgivarens skydd för företagshemligheter med utgångspunkt i den arbetsrättsliga lojalitetsplikten och det civilrättsliga ansvaret för arbetstagare enligt FHL. Skyddet under och efter anstIt is undisputed that employees gain access to classified information from their employer, and that spreading such information may harm the employer. This thesis investigates the protection of trade secrets using the duty of loyalty deriving from labour law and the liability of the employee according to FHL as a starting point. In order to analyse how these rules coincide and complement each other
The red deer is an animal that most of us know and expect when speaking of big animals in the Swedish fauna. But this has not always been the case. The red deer was almost extinct in the beginning of the 20th century, the life force is mostly regained today but there are still hurdles in the way. The increase in population of the red deer mean an economic conflict with land owners because of its
The principle aut dedere aut judicare can be found in international cooperation concerning extradition for criminal offences. The meaning of the principle is that if a state refuses to extradite a person, often on the grounds that the person is a citizen of that state, the state can undertake to prosecute the person for the crime he or she is suspected of. The focus of this thesis has been to inve
Uppsåtsinvändningen om sexsomni har på senare år blivit alltmer förekommande på straffrättens område. Invändningen innebär att den tilltalade gör gällande att den sexuella handlingen som hen står åtalad för har företagits i sömnen och att uppsåt därmed saknats. Om inte åklagaren lyckas motbevisa invändningen frias den tilltalade således från ansvar. En av de faktorer som tyder på att gärningen fakThe objection of intent in the case of sexsomnia has become increasingly more common in criminal law in recent years. Under this objection, the defendant argues that the sexual act for which he or she is charged with was undertaken in his or her sleep and that there was therefore no intent. Unless the prosecutor succeeds in refuting the objection, the defendant is thus acquitted of responsibility.
