The recent development and implementation of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is generating application of complicated models over a wide range of sciences. For two correlated binary responses, bivariate binary logistic regression is a suitable way to identify the related covariates and at the same time, their interactions validity can be investigated in terms of logarithm of odds ratio. Pre
Personer med nedsatt beslutsförmåga kan till följd av kognitiva nedsättningar inte alltid samtycka till vård. Eftersom det inte finns någon specialanpassad lag för denna patientgrupp har det under flera års tid varit svårt att tillämpa regelverken inom hälso- och sjukvården. Det har tillsatts ett flertal kommittéer för att undersöka möjligheterna att stifta ett anpassat regelverk. Detsamma gäller People with reduced decision-making capacity can not always consent to care as a result of cognitive impairments. Because no specially adapted law for this patient group exists, it is difficult to applicate the current legal framework within the Swedish health care system when caring for such individuals. A number of committees have been appointed to examine the possibilities of establishing an ad

The training of the state-of-the-art Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) consumes massive amounts of energy, while the human brain learns new tasks with remarkable efficiency. Currently, the training of DNNs relies almost exclusively on Backpropagation (BP). However, BP faces criticism due to its biologically implausible nature, underscoring the significant disparity in performance and energy efficiency b
Ground-level fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) are air pollutants that can pose severe health risks. Surface PM2.5 and O3 concentrations can be monitored from satellites, but most retrieval methods retrieve PM2.5 or O3 separately and disregard the shared information between the two air pollutants, for example due to common emission sources. Using surface observations across China span

Popular Abstract in Swedish En industrirobot är en flexibel programmerbar maskin som bör användas för sådant arbete som inte lämpar sig för människan att utföra. Olika tekniska begränsningar i dagens styrsystem begränsar dock robotars tillämpbarhet. Avhandlingen föreslår ett nytt sätt att bygga upp robotstyrsystem så att roboten på bästa sätt skall kunna tjäna människan.Industrial robots play a key role in manufacturing systems. Robots are distinguished from other types of machinery mainly on the basis of their programmability and ability to be adaptable to different tasks. The use of computer control to achieve desired flexibility implies that software issues for embedded control systems are central for the applicability and utilization of the equipment. The str
Aim: To explore the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes and to identify possible mechanisms for the development of atrial fibrillation. Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the primary health care in Skara, Sweden, and 1739 subjects (798 men, 941 women) were surveyed. Patients were categorized as those wit
High-quality video is being increasingly delivered over Internet Protocol networks, which means that network operators and service providers need methods to measure the quality of experience (QoE) of the video services. In this paper, we propose a method to speed up the development of no-reference bitstream objective metrics for estimating QoE. This method uses full-reference objective metrics, wh
Surveillance of group A streptococcal (GAS) infections was undertaken as a major component of the European Commission-funded project on severe GAS disease in Europe (strep-EURO). One aim of strep-EURO was to improve the quality of GAS characterization by standardization of methods. An external quality assurance study (EQA) was therefore carried out to evaluate current global performance. Eleven st
Elasticity and damping are significant properties of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. It is therefore important that the constitutive model accurately captures these aspects of the mechanical behavior. In the first part of the thesis a description of theory and experiments for determination of hyperelastic parameters required for finite element analysis is provided. Test sp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid Typ 1 diabetes mellitus (insulinberoende, [ungdoms]) förlorar kroppen förmågan att tillverka insulin, det hormon som styr upptaget av socker i kroppens celler. Insulinet bildas av bukspottskörtelns hormonproducerande betaceller, och Typ 1 diabetes orsakas av att dessa celler skadas och förstörs. Denna skadeprocess anses idag i de flesta fall förmedlas av kroppens egAutoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), protein tyrosine-phosphatase-like protein (IAÐ2A), and/or pancreatic islet cells (ICA) are autoimmune markers usually present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is therefore in general believed to be caused by an immune-mediated beta cell destruction. In children this destruction is fast, whereas in adult patients Type 1 diab
The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) onto zirconium phosphate (ZrP) was studied and the adsorption capacity value and isotherms were determined. The adsorption capacity of ZrP was increased after being exposed to gas phase n-butyl amine. The adsorbed MB on ZrP was used as a modifier material in carbon paste electrode (MCPE), which in turn was used in voltammetric investigations and flow injection
Transient mixing and ignition mechanisms in a simplified pre-chamber/main-chamber system are investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) with detailed chemical kinetics. Full ignition and flame propagation processes in the premixed methane/air mixtures are simulated. Ignition, the progress and topology of flame evolution, and the mean burning velocity in the main chamber are analyzed in d
In the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, the cost of the raw material and the cost of the enzymes have been identified as the major costs for the product. In addition, many lignocellulosic materials contain considerable amounts of five-carbon sugars which are not easily fermented to ethanol. The possibility of improving the cost-intensive steps was investigated. The steam pre
The extant mammalian groups Monotremata, Marsupialia and Placentalia are, according to the ‘Theria’ hypothesis, traditionally classified into two subclasses. The subclass Prototheria includes the monotremes and subclass Theria marsupials and placental mammals. Based on some morphological and molecular data, an alternative proposition, the Marsupionta hypothesis, favours a sister group relationship
The paper focuses on skills and competences used in audio description (AD) of a Swedish popular scientific journal. The journal, containing complex images and visualizations, is made accessible for visually impaired audiences by producing an audio version. The task is to create a verbal description to enhance understanding and enjoyment. The interpretative process of meaning-making is uncovered by
BACKGROUND: Cost-effective processing of lignocellulosic biomass into sugar derived products, such as biofuels or biochemicals, needs to be performed at high water insoluble solid (WIS) loading. However, the difficult rheology of such materials presents significant challenges. The aim of this study was to investigate if a Cel5A endoglucanase can be used to reduce the viscosity of two types of pret
The removal of natural organic matter (NOM) from boreal lake water by a novel capillary nanofiltration (NF) membrane was predicted using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling approach. The 2-dimensional axis-symmetric model was based on a 48 m3/day NF pilot plant operating in cross-flow mode on water containing 8 mg/L total organic carbon (TOC) at fluxes ranging from 10 to 25 L/m2/h and v
