NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD). This paper presents the development of the models used to create GEDI's footprint-level (~25 m) AGBD (GEDI04_A) product, including a description of the datasets used and the procedure for fi

Background and ObjectivesIdentifying a clinically meaningful change in cognitive test score is essential when using cognition as an outcome in clinical trials. This is especially relevant because clinical trials increasingly feature novel composites of cognitive tests. Our primary objective was to establish minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for commonly used cognitive tests, using a

When the world committed to end poverty and hunger as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the promise to “leave no one behind” was recognized as both an ethical responsibility and a key criteria for success. How can we make sure that such a promise becomes a reality, and what challenges lie ahead? This chapter aims to address these issues by focusing on parts of the world that, despi

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

The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate formal care and services at home, regarding structure, process, and outcomes, for persons with dementia (aged 65+ years) at risk of nursing home admission. Availability and utilization of formal care and services at home for persons with dementia, from diagnosis to end-of-life stage, in eight European countries was described in study I. A mapping f

Existing pick and place robots are either heavy or have a limited workspace for vertical operations. Since there is no robot today that are both light and have a good vertical workspace, this leads to a gap in the market. With the use of the laws of physics Cognibotics is trying to fill these gaps in the market, by developing new fast and lightweight robots. These new robots are designed to have a

Det åvilar samhället ett stort ansvar att skydda våldsutsatta barn. Att bevittna våld kan vara lika traumatiskt för ett barn som att själv utsättas. I januari 2022 konstaterade Jämställdhetsmyndigheten, efter en granskning av 814 tingsrättsdomar i mål om vårdnad, boende och umgänge, att uppgifter om våld eller andra övergrepp mot barn, förälder eller partner förekom i 64 procent av de granskade doSociety has a great responsibility to protect children from violence. For a child, it can be as traumatizing to witness violence as it is to be the victim of it. In January 2022, the Swedish Gender Equality Agency found, after reviewing 814 judgements from the district courts concerning custody, residence and contact, that allegations of violence or other abuse could be found in 64 percent of the

The construction sector is responsible for around 40 % of all generated waste in Sweden and is also responsible for around 21-22 % of all carbon emissions. In a sector that is responsible for a substantial part of Sweden’s climate footprint, it’s important to find solutions to the negative effects towards the climate. Much of the generated waste comes from building and demolition waste which ends

In pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainable development, goals have been set by the EU and Sweden to improve the energy performance of buildings and reduce their environmental impact. Renovating the existing building stock is a path to achieving the energy and climate goals. This study investigates and analyses various retrofitting options for multifamily residential buildings in Skåne, Sweden

Background/Problem Description: The purpose of project management is to keep track, organize and assure that the specific goal of a project will be accomplished before the project ends. Without a project management model, it is hard for an organization to monitor and fulfill the purpose of project management. Therefore, ESSIQ AB believes it would be beneficial to have a project management mode

Med en ökande åldrande befolkning kommer antalet vårdbehövande äldre med kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar (olika former av demenssjukdomar) att öka. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka förhållandet mellan äldre personers självbestämmanderätt kontra deras behov av vård. Vård kan inte ges utan den enskildes samtycke, om inte undantag finns uttryckt i lag. Ett giltigt samtycke kräver att den enskilde As the number of elderly people in the population grows, the number of elderly people who suffer from cognitive disabilities (different forms of dementia) who require care grows as well. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the relationship between elderly people’s autonomy and their need of care. Care cannot be given without consent from the individual unless there are exceptions stated in th

During the last decades the forest damage in the Black triangle region (where the borders of the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland meet) has increased rapidly. Many attempts to explain the widely spread damage has been done. To quantify the risk of damage, the expression "critical level" has been introduced. Critical level is the highest concentration of an acidifying compound that the

When new technologies for the health care sector are developed, it is of outmost importance to increase the possibilities of survival and remain high quality of life for patients. During the conception and design of such technologies, the problem to solve and the possible solutions to achieve have to be well understood and the scope has to be defined. For the particular case of the project LISA, t

The principle of patient self-determination is central to contemporary medical ethics. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its implementation in healthcare. This thesis explores, from an ethical perspective, situations in nephrology care that reveal barriers to patient self-determination or where the requirements of the principle are unclear. The thesis includes three published articles a

Ett stort antal barn i Sverige uppger att de utsätts för våld eller andra övergrepp i sitt eget hem. Detta trots att principen om barnets bästa utgör en viktig grundläggande princip och ska vara avgörande i alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Vad som rent faktiskt utgör barnets bästa framkommer inte uttryckligen av lagtexten, utan ska bedömas utifrån varje barns enskilda situation. Lagtext

Pallets are the most common tertiary packaging solution with over 80% the world trade currently being carried out using pallets. The most widely used pallet type is the four-way wood pallet which accounts for 86% of the pallet production worldwide and the most common pallet size is the Euro Pallet. A department at Tetra Pak called Additional Materials (AddMat) is mainly using Euro Pallets, which h
