Background: Information and communication technology (ICT) has been proven to have effect in terms of providing alternative ways to deliver rehabilitation services. The intention with this paper is to serve as a foundation for discussions regarding the future development, design, and delivery of home-based rehabilitation, including ICT. Aim: To reflect on and discuss the possibilities and challeng

Total hip replacement (THR) is an effective intervention with a good cost/benefit ratio. Worldwide, each year it brings relief in the form of improved function and decreased pain to at least half a million patients with severe osteoarthritis (OA). Since the introduction by Charnley more than 30 years ago, the basic concept remains much the same, but with a multitude of changes in details of surgic

The FLUXNET2015 dataset provides ecosystem-scale data on CO2, water, and energy exchange between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and other meteorological and biological measurements, from 212 sites around the globe (over 1500 site-years, up to and including year 2014). These sites, independently managed and operated, voluntarily contributed their data to create global datasets. Data were quality

A building for users with functional disorders has been built with the aim of being a low-energy residence, based on the criteria and technology applicable to passive houses. This new application of the passive house concept in a Nordic climate has shown that challenges must be met when producing buildings with a low energy demand while also fulfilling the requirements for a good indoor climate. T

Males of all species of the parasitic wasp genus Nasonia use (4R,5S)-5-hydroxy-4-decanolide (RS) as component of their sex pheromone while only N. vitripennis (Nv), employs additionally (4R,5R)-5-hydroxy-4-decanolide (RR). Three genes coding for the NAD + -dependent short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) NV10127, NV10128, and NV10129 are linked to the ability of Nv to produce RR. Here we sho

Modern vibrational spectroscopy techniques enable the rapid collection of thousands of spectra in a single hyperspectral image, allowing researchers to study spatially heterogeneous samples at micrometer resolution. A number of algorithms have been developed to correct for effects such as atmospheric absorption, light scattering by cellular structures and varying baseline levels. After preprocessi

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether endometrial volume or power Doppler indices as measured by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging can discriminate between benign and malignant endometrium, to compare their diagnostic performance with that of endometrial thickness measurement using two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound examination, and to determine whether power Doppler indices add any diagnostic inf

Studier har visat att tvåfasflöde med gas och vätska kan öka ett membrans flux. I detta examensarbete har två vätskor, kiseldioxidlösning och hemicellulosalösning, luftats med olika metoder, och luftningens inverkan på fluxet har studerats. När vätskor med hög viskositet ska membranfiltreras är ofta fluxet lågt vilket gör att filtreringen tar lång tid och att det därför behövs stora membrananläggA new oxygen barrier film that is made of arabinoxylan has been developed by the company Xylophane. Arabinoxylan is available among other things in wheat bran. But a problem with the method of extracting the arabinoxylan is that after an alkali extraction is ultrafiltration used to remove impurities and the flux during this is quite low. In this project is it investigated if gas sparging with air

There is an extensive expansion of fiber infrastructure for high-speed broadband networks in Sweden, and Landskrona municipality is one of the leading examples. Owing to the superior capabilities of a fiber based network, a number of digital welfare services can be provided directly to residents and companies of the municipality. Social care is an example of a welfare service that can utilize the

The purpose of this study was, from a structural perspective, with emphasis on democratic values such as openness, reciprocity, communication and responsibility, to examine factors in the social Service that may affect freedom of speech and how freedom of speech was understood by the employees. The study has a qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews. Six interviews were conducted

Microfinance has spread rapidly in the last thirty years and the wealth of microfinance organizations has increased rapidly. According to some this has been a major success and a breakthrough in poverty eradication, but other researchers has pointed to the low levels of actual development created by microfinance and to the potential of very negative side effects. These effects has according to man

Media shapes the public´s perceptions of social problems and how we understand the people affected by them. This study investigates the shaping of dual diagnosis, a concept that refers to the co-occurrence of a mental illness and substance use, a phenomena that has gained increased prominence in the last decades. While those suffering from dual diagnosis rarely have their voices heard in research,

Calls to implement corporate reforms in South Korea reached its apex with the strong public outrage at 2016 Presidential corruption scandal involving the largest business groups within the country. In 2017, the newly elected President Moon Jae In promised to achieve corporate reforms that past administrations struggled to engage with. Considering the lack of progress in regulating unfair corporate

Low-light image enhancement is a hard task mainly due to the amount of noise and little information stored in the dark image. In this thesis project we develop a method for low-light image enhancement based on a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE). The CVAE is a deep learning model trained with a specific objective function (ELBO). A CVAE can be implemented as a variant of a U-Net utilizing

The aim of this study was to examine social workers and staff at women’s shelters experience of how the responsibility for abused women is distributed between them through collaboration. The study relies on eight qualitative, semi structured interviews with professionals, whom play a significant role in supporting abused woman, in two different municipalities in southern Sweden. In order to analyz
