Byggnader med inskrifter och bilder i renässansens Skåne cirka 1450–1658

Den här artikeln undersöker hur olika individer manifesterade sin person i byggnader under renässansen i Skåne. Genom en analys av stentavlor och träbjälkar med inskriptioner och bilder belyses frågor om identitet och individualitet. Föremålen placerades ofta ovanför dörrar i borgar och herrgårdar eller i byggnader som tillhörde städernas elit. Artikeln diskuterar vem som kunde se och förstå budsk

Achieving a Data-driven Risk Assessment Methodology for Ethical AI

The AI landscape demands a broad set of legal, ethical, and societal considerations to be accounted for in order to develop ethical AI (eAI) solutions which sustain human values and rights. Currently, a variety of guidelines and a handful of niche tools exist to account for and tackle individual challenges. However, it is also well established that many organizations face practical challenges in n

Impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare use in osteoarthritis : A population register-based study in Sweden

Objective: To investigate whether the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted healthcare consultations (HCC) and hospitalization among people with and without osteoarthritis (OA).Methods: Using register data, we included individuals aged ≥35 years residing in Skåne region, Sweden, during 2009-2019 with (n ​= ​123,523) and without (n ​= ​552,412) a diagnosis of OA during January 1, 2009-Decemb

Pathogenesis, Symptomatology, and Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through analysis of Viral Genomics and Structure

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which emerged in late 2019, has since spread around the world infecting tens of millions of people with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While this viral species was unknown prior to January 2020, its similarity to other coronaviruses that infect humans has allowed for rapid insight into the mechanisms that it uses to infect human hosts, as well as the ways in

Bias field correction of MPRAGE by an external reference - The poor man's MP2RAGE

Purpose: To implement and evaluate a sequential approach to obtain semi-quantitative T1-weighted MPRAGE images, unbiased by B1 inhomogeneities at 7T.Methods: In the reference gradient echo used for normalization of the MPRAGE image, flipangle (αGE) and acquisition voxel size (Vref) was varied to optimize tissue contrast and acquisition time (Tacq). The finalized protocol was implemented at three d

Correction of FLASH-based MT saturation in human brain for residual bias of B1-inhomogeneity at 3T

Background: Magnetization transfer (MT) saturation reflects the additional saturation of the MRI signal imposed by an MT pulse and is largely driven by the saturation of the bound pool. This reduction of the bound polarization by the MT pulse is less efficient than predicted by the differential B1-square law of absorption. Thus, B1 inhomogeneities lead to a residual bias in the MT saturation maps.

Sequential Detection and Estimation of MultipathChannel Parameters Using Belief Propagation

This paper proposes a BP-based algorithm for sequential detection and estimation of MPC parameters based on radio signals. Under dynamic channel conditions with moving transmitter and/or receiver, the number of MPCs reflected from visible geometric features, the MPC dispersion parameters (delay, angle, Doppler frequency, etc), and the number of false alarm contributions are unknown and time-varyin

Disturbance-based management of ecosystem services and disservices in partial nitritation-anammox biofilms

The resistance and resilience provided by functional redundancy, a common feature of microbial communities, is not always advantageous. An example is nitrite oxidation in partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) reactors designed for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment, where suppression of nitrite oxidizers like Nitrospira is sought. In these ecosystems, biofilms provide microhabitats with oxygen g

Ethno-sectarianism in Iraq, diaspora positionality and political transnationalism

In this article, I draw on the experiences of Iraqi diasporas in the UK and Sweden after the 2003 US-led intervention to demonstrate how ethno-sectarianism in Iraq has affected their political transnationalism. Using the concepts of intersectionality and positionality, I show how the reconfiguration of the social positions of individuals and groups in the diaspora affects their types of political

Assessing co-development projects for civil society building in Iraq : the case of the Iraqi diaspora and Swedish institutions following the 2003 intervention in Iraq

While the literature has expounded diaspora’s involvement in homeland politics through lobbying efforts to influence hostland foreign policies, involvement in homeland conflicts and peace-building, this paper addresses a less-explored area in the diaspora literature related to the development of democracy through transnational civil society building. Using the case study of the Iraqi diaspora in S
