Objectives: To estimate resource use and costs, including direct and indirect costs, in relation to levels of severity in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) in a Swedish setting. Materials and methods: Patients with idiopathic PD registered in the National Parkinson's Disease Patient Registry (PARKreg), with registrations of Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) and “off time” in the Skåne Region, were
We argue that the human evolutionary heritage with frequent adaptations through geological time to environmental change has affected a trade-off between offspring variability and cancer resistance, and thus favored cancer-prone individuals. We turn the attention to a factor setting the highly cancer-resistant naked mole rat apart from most other mammals: it has remained phenotypically largely unch
The language that individuals use for expressing themselves contains rich psychological information. Recent significant advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning (DL), namely transformers, have resulted in large performance gains in tasks related to understanding natural language. However, these state-of-the-art methods have not yet been made easily accessible for psychology
Popular Abstract in English Malnutrition is one of the problems affecting many developing countries, sometimes leading to disease and death. Complementary foods, especially infant porridges prepared by families in rural areas, are based on plants (cereals, roots and tubers). These porridges are mainly composed of starch, and when mixed with hot water the starch gelatinizes and swells, resulting inChild malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease
Framväxten av digitala plattformar håller för närvarande på att förändra hur kulturarbete förmedlas och utförs. Trots detta finns det en brist på forskning, inte minst i en svensk kontext, som studerar kulturarbete som ett typexempel på det som kommit att kallas gigarbete. Den här avhandlingen analyserar frilansande kulturarbetares erfarenheter av att navigera den digitala plattformsekonomin för aCultural industries are currently being transformed by processes of platformization and precarization. Despite being among the sectors where platformization has already had the most pronounced effects, there remains a lack of research on cultural work as a prototypical example of so-called gig work. This dissertation analyzes the working experiences of what I call digital freelancers — solo self-e
The firefighter problem models the situation where an infection, a computer virus, an idea or fire etc. is spreading through a network and the goal is to save as many as possible nodes of the network through targeted vaccinations. The number of nodes that can be vaccinated at a single time-step is typically one, or more generally O(1). In a nonstandard model, the so called spreading model, the vac
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) genes encode proteins involved in mediating the toxic responses induced by several environmental pollutants. Here, we describe the identification of the first two AhR1 (alpha and beta) genes and two additional AhR2 (alpha and beta) genes in the tetraploid species Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) from a cosmid library screening. Cosmid clones containing genomic salmo
Background: Myocardial performance index (MPI) has been investigated in a variety of populations, but the effect of food intake has not been evaluated. We assessed whether myocardial performance index is affected by food intake in healthy subjects. Methods: Twenty-three healthy subjects aged 25.6 ± 4.5 years were investigated. MPI was measured before, 30 min after, and 110 min after a standardized
Ostreopsis ovata is a benthic dinoflagellate that produces palytoxin and its analogues. Since the end of the 1990s, toxic blooms of O. ovata have been recorded in many tropical and temperate marine waters. These blooms often kill benthic invertebrates and cause health problems for humans. We hypothesize that increases in seawater temperature might induce these blooms. A strain of O. ovata isolated
The ATLAS inner detector consists of three sub-systems: the pixel detector spanning the radius range 4cm-20cm, the semiconductor tracker at radii from 30 to 52 cm, and the transition radiation tracker (TRT), tracking from 56 to 107 cm. The TRT provides a combination of continuous tracking with many projective measurements based on individual drift tubes (or straws) and of electron identification b
I vilken utsträckning är det rimligt att friskriva sig från ansvar i ett kontraktsförhållande? Detta är en central fråga som behandlas i denna uppsats. Svaret på frågan är beroende av en strävan att upprätthålla en balans mellan å ena sidan principerna om pacta sunt servanda och avtalsfrihet, och behovet av att motverka oskälighet i avtalsförhållanden å andra sidan. Ett avgörande som skapat ny gTo what extent is it reasonable to exclude one’s liability in a contractual relationship? This is a key issue addressed in this paper. The answer depends on a desire to maintain a balance between the principles of pacta sunt servanda and freedom of contract on one hand, and the need to counteract the unfairness of contractual relations on the other. A ruling that has created new breeding ground f
In Sweden there is a first language Swedish and minority languages such as Finnish, Tornedalen Finnish, Romany, Samian, and Yiddish. Although English is not a second language in Sweden some people suggest it should be. From the age of nine children start to learn the English language in school. English is a core subject in the school system alongside Swedish and math. In several companies it is th
Finansiell leasing är tillsammans med traditionella banklån och avbetalningsköp den vanligaste formen av extern finansiering för små- och medelstora företag i Sverige. Det är dessutom en finansieringsform som förväntas öka kraftigt i popularitet till följd av de kreditgivningsreformer som många banker tvingats genomföra efter finanskrisen 2009 samt den pågående euro- krisen. Trots detta saknas til
The main topic of this thesis is the storage location assignment problem, which can also be seen as a traveling salesman problem. The objective is to find the shortest path between items to be picked at a medium-sized warehouse. Orders come in batches consisting of items that will be assembled in-house. Therefore, it is essential to pick up all the items contained in the batch before they are drop
This thesis considers the problem of finding an optimal control policy for control problems in continuous time and space, utilising reinforcement learning techniques. Finding analytical solutions to optimal control problems is often intractable due to involved constraints, cost-function objectives, and uncertainty. The focal point will be on reinforcement learning RL techniques to find approximate
The co-assembly and temperature-dependent phase behavior of dilute aqueous solutions of a thermoresponsive cationic diblock copolymer and oppositely charged bile salts, sodium deoxycholate and sodium glycodexoycholate, or sodium dodecyl sulphate at different charge fractions in terms of negative charge were investigated by static- and dynamic light scattering (SLS/DLS), differential scanning calor
Filtering-based probabilistic numerical solvers for ordinary differential equations (ODEs), also known as ODE filters, have been established as efficient methods for quantifying numerical uncertainty in the solution of ODEs. In practical applications, however, the underlying dynamical system often contains uncertain parameters, requiring the propagation of this model uncertainty to the ODE solutio
