Lesion detection is a critical task for medical image understanding. While the problem has been widely addressed in a supervised semantic segmentation manner, the problem clinically appears more similar to novelty detection with few or no annotations for the lesion. The reason is two-fold: 1) it is intuitively easier to collect large dataset from healthy individuals than that from a specific type
Som ett led i att homogenisera den kinesiska befolkningen, har den kinesiska regeringen under längre tid bedrivit en kampanj för att avskaffa Xinjiang-provinsens inhemska folkgrupp Uigurer. Massiva konverteringsläger har inrättats där Uigurerna tvingas avsäga sig sin kultur, etnicitet och religion. Situationen beskrivs av journalister och politiker som ett kulturellt folkmord, men trots begreppetsSince 2017, the Chinese government has conducted an internment campaign against the Uighur Muslim minority in Xinjiang, China, with the goal of total assimilation into the majority population.

Various studies on clientelism usually start from a common puzzle: Why is campaign clientelism widely practised by politicians even when they have no means of ensuring reciprocity from the voters? Similarly, why is campaign clientelism widespread amongst voters despite its numerous negative consequences on societies, democracy, and development? These puzzles have motivated my research, where I att

The grain growth of WC in WC-7%Co cemented carbides with Cr-addition was investigated for cemented carbides synthesized from four different raw materials varying in grain size. Cr additions were 4%of the Co binder phase. To investigate the effect of Cr on grain growth two of the raw materials were also synthesized without Cr-additions. To investigate the effect of cobalt content on grain growth ce

I takt med att den förväntade livslängden ökar ställs nya krav på arbetsmarknaden. För få personer ska försörja vår äldre befolkning och för att lösa detta måste vi arbeta till en högre ålder. Chefer har en avgörande roll och därför har denna studie syftat till att undersöka chefers attityder mot sina äldre arbetstagare, samt hur de ser på möjligheter till ett förlängt arbetsliv. Syftet var även aAs life expectancy increases, new demands are placed on the labor market. There are too few people to support our aging population, and to address this issue, we need to work until an older age. Managers play a crucial role, which is why this study aimed to examine managers' attitudes toward their older employees and their views on opportunities for extended working lives. The aim was also to

Teknikutvecklingen, särskilt inom AI, har möjliggjort produktion av deepfakes, det vill säga artificiellt genererat eller manipulerat material som kan framstå som mycket autentiskt. Samtidigt har digitaliseringen medfört att digital bevisning fått en allt mer central roll i rättsprocesser. Detta aktualiserar nya rättsliga utmaningar, eftersom möjligheten att skapa övertygande falskt material riskeTechnological development, particularly within AI, has enabled production of so-called deepfakes, i.e., artificially generated or manipulated material that may appear highly authentic. At the same time, digitalisation has made digital evidence central in legal proceedings. This creates new legal challenges, since convincing false material may undermine the reliability of digital evidence. The pur

Policies that facilitate sustainability transformations require knowledge about the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, including biophysical mechanisms and diverse human-nature relationships. Such a comprehensive evidence base can only be built by integrating multiple types of knowledges. Ontology, epistemology, and semantics are a well-established terminology to structure and facilitat
