This thesis seeks to explore an architectural typology that can enhance mental healing qualities in the urban structure. Our modern fast-paced lifestyle has a big impact on our mental well-being and our stress levels are constantly high, while our feelings are continuously exposed to different external factors. This minimizes our ability to understand and process them and to finally get through a
En genomgående trend i alla företag och industrier är att deras förmåga att producera data växer fortare än deras förmåga att lagra den, och detta gäller även hos CellaVision som producerar mikroskopiska blodcellsbilder. Lösningen är att komprimera bilderna med konsekvensen att viss information förloras. Vi har använt oss av djupinlärnings-metoder för att rekonstruera den försvunna datan i bildernThis thesis investigates the use of convolutional neural networks as a reconstruction or JPEG- deblocking model for JPEG-compressed blood cell images, needed due to the well known block artifacts caused by JPEG-compression. CellaVision develops automated microscopy for blood analysis that detects and classifies blood cells from images. The automated analysis is carried out on high resolu- tion mic
Straffrättslig symbollagstiftning är ett svårdefinierat begrepp. En utgångspunkt är emellertid att begreppet har en inneboende negativ laddning. Att sätta etiketten symbollagstiftning på en strafflag innebär också att kritik riktas mot strafflagen. Ett viss mått av försiktighet måste därför iakttas vid symbollagstiftningsanalysen. Symbollagstiftning är inte en matematisk formel, snarare en misstanSymbolic criminal legislation is hard to define. Despite that, it is obvious that the concept is inherently negative. To label a criminal act “symbolic”, is also a way of criticizing it. It is therefore important to be cautious while analyzing the concept. Symbolic legislation is not a mathematic formula, rather a suspicion of a phenomenon. Neither is symbolic legislation a question of “either-or”
Abstract The significance of terrestrially derived iron (Fe) for marine ecosystems and its implications on other biogeochemical cycles is well recognised. It has been recently highlighted that the concentration of Fe in several Swedish rivers has increased strongly over the last 40 years. Four rivers draining into the Baltic Sea were used in the present study in order to assess the aggregation pr
Vertikala avtal som faller under artikel 101(1) FEUF kan fortfarande vara i överensstämmelse med konkurrensrätten i enlighet med artikel 101(3) FEUF. Vissa förfaranden är automatiskt tillåtna i enlighet med artikel 101(3) genom gruppundantagsförordningar. Gruppundantagsförordningarna ger safe harbor för marknadsaktörer under särsilda villkor som anges i förordnignarna. Sådana villkor är maximalaVertical agreements which fall under Article 101(1) TFEU may still be compliant with competition law in accordance with Article 101(3) TFEU. Some practices are automatically exempt from in line with Article 101(3) by way of block exemption regulations. The block exemption regulations provide safe harbor for market operator under certain conditions as set out in the regulations, such as maximum m
När den här rapporten skrivs har forskningsanläggningen European Spallation Source (ESS) börjat byggas i Lund. ESS förväntas bidra till nya upptäckter inom många olika ämnen, till exempel materialforskning, medicin, partikelfysik och arkeologi. I det här projektet har jag undersökt hur datorsimuleringar av neutronflödet på ESS skulle kunna förbättras genom att koppla ihop två simuleringsprogram soThe European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a material research center built around a powerful neutron source. At ESS, researchers will be able to carry out precise measurements using neutron scattering. The quality of the measurements is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio. The signal consists of neutrons with energies that are useful for experiments, while neutrons with higher energies cons
Under 2013 utgjorde värdet av medlemsstaternas offentliga upphandling ungefär 18 procent av deras BNP, vilket gör det till ett kraftfullt verktyg att använda för att främja vissa samhällsmål. Traditionellt sett så har offentlig upphandling använts i ett protektionistiskt syfte för att skydda nationell industri från utländsk konkurrens, vilket är en bidragande faktor till att EU har valt att lagstIn 2013, approximately 18 % of member states GDP was spent on public procurement, making it a powerful tool for governments to use to further certain objectives. Traditionally, public procurement has been used for protectionist purposes to safeguard national industry from foreign competition, which is why the EU has chosen to regulate this area of law to ensure the proper functioning of the inter
Popular Abstract in Swedish Till processindustrin räknar man bland annat fabriker som tillverkar papper, plast och livsmedel. I en enda fabrik kan det finnas tusentals PID-regulatorer som har till uppgift att styra storheter som tryck, flöden och temperaturer till önskade värden. PID-regulatorns roll i processindustrin har därför jämförts med den arbetsmyran har i myrstacken. Huruvida en enskild mA large process industry can have somewhere between five hundred and five thousand control loops, and PID controllers are used in 90–97% of the cases. It is well-known that only 20–30% of the controllers in the process industry are tuned satisfactorily, but with the methods available today it is considered too time-consuming to optimize each single controller. This thesis presents tools for analys
Frågan om dödshjälp är en pågående diskussion världen över. I Sverige är assisterat självmord inte straffbart. Eutanasi är däremot förbjudet och bedöms enligt 3 kap 2 § BrB. Denna uppsats syftar till att redogöra för den rättsliga gränsdragningen mellan assisterat självmord och eutanasi samt att analysera denna gränsdragning med hjälp av legalitetsprincipen. Rättsläget presenteras med hjälp av den
Copyright is a part of the intellectual property rights. This ancient occurrence became during 19th century observed by the legislation. Great economical interests and values made it necessary to create rules concerning how the exploitation would take place. Several important conventions were created during this century. For example, the Parisconvention (1883) and the Bernconvention (1886). During
Background: Although transposition of the great arteries (TGA) accounts for less than 5% of congenital heart disease, the clinical course is often dramatic with need for early diagnosis and careful preoperative care as well as advanced surgical correction and postoperative support. Since 1993, Lund is one of the two tertiary referral centers for pediatric cardiac surgery in Sweden, with nearly 400
Background: Angioedema is a rare and serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment. Dry cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors and has been identified as a possible risk factor for angioedema. Objective: We compared characteristics between patients with ACE inhibitor–induced angioedema and cough with the aim of identifying risk factors that
While its size and complexity make it a powerful knowledge source, the Deep Web also has a wide variety of offerings that can be adapted to meet business needs such as: Competitive intelligence, cross-enterprise collaboration, techno-elitism and innovative technology solutions. Additionally, elements associated with higher risks in terms of trading and security such as onion routing start finding
Recent studies demonstrate that Black Carbon (BC) pollution in economically developing megacities remain higher than the values, which the World Health Organization considers to be safe. Despite the scientific evidence of the degrees of BC exposure, there is still a lack of understanding on how the severe levels of BC pollution affect human health in these regions. We consider information on the r
Global Health has not featured as prominently in the European Union (EU) research agenda in recent years as it did in the first decade of the new millennium, and participation of low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) in EU health research has declined substantially. The Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Framework adopted by the European Parliament in April 2019 for the period 2021-20
A single-molecule detection setup based on total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has been used to investigate association and dissociation kinetics of unlabeled 30mer DNA strands. Single-molecule sensitivity was accomplished by letting unlabeled DNA target strands mediate the binding of DNA-modified and fluorescently labeled liposomes to a DNA-modified surface. The liposomes, ac
Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed the effects of multiple anthropogenic and natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer (N) application, atmospheric N deposition, manure N application, land cover change, climate change, and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, on global soil
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the oxygen consumption of explanted aerobically-perfused cardioplegic porcine hearts at different temperatures. Material/Methods: Explanted hearts from 30 pigs weighing 50 kg were randomized into 5 groups. The hearts received continuous antegrade perfusion within a temperature-controlled sealed system. The perfusate consisted of an albumincontai
A reconstruction of deglaciation and associated sea-level changes on northern James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula, based on lithostratigraphical and geomorphological studies, shows that the initial deglaciation of presently ice-free areas occurred slightly before 7400 14C yr BP. Sea-level in connection with the deglaciation was around 30 m a.s.l. A glacier readvance in Brandy Bay, of at least 7
In the modelling of fibre-reinforced composites, it is well established to consider the fibre direction in the stored energy in order to account for the transverse isotropy of the overall material, induced by a single family of fibres. However, this approach does not include any length scale and therefore lacks in the prediction of size effects that may occur from the fibre diameter or spacing. By
