Transcending initial efforts to make cities “climate smart” by focusing on the potential of new technologies and infrastructural interventions, various actors are increasingly interested in deploying nature to help achieve urban resilience. In this context, rather than taking resilience as a given property of particular systems or entities, it is important to examine why, how, with what implicatio

The number of people who live in bushfire-prone areas around the world is growing. In Australia, in the states of Victoria and New South Wales, over 1.5 million people live in areas rated as high to extreme bushfire risk in (SGS Economics and Planning 2019). As effects of climate change increase the size and severity of bushfires, and a greater number of people move into these at-risk areas, there

This paper presents PyEtSimul, an open-source Python-based framework for simulating video-based eye trackers by generating synthetic eye features through geometric modeling. The framework allows flexible positioning of eyes, cameras, and light sources in 3D space, with controlled variation of eye anatomical features and camera properties. PyEtSimul generalizes corneal modeling by representing the

Kritiken som har riktats mot regeringens angiverilag är högst befogad – förslaget innebär i praktiken att offentliganställda görs till gränspoliser, menar fyra forskare från universitet och högskolor i Lund, Malmö och Stockholm.En samförfattad debattartikel inom forskningsprojektet HUMASP, av Christina Johnsson, lektor i offentlig rätt och mänskliga rättigheter vid Malmö universitet.

First, we present a new algorithm for the single-source shortest paths problem (SSSP) in edge-weighted directed graphs, with n vertices, m edges, and both positive and negative real edge weights. For a positive integer parameter t, in O(tm) time the algorithm finds for each vertex v a path distance from the source to v not exceeding that given by the shortest path from the source to v among the so

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Biologisk mångfald innebär variationsrikedom bland alla levande organismer i alla miljöer, på land som i vatten. Utveckling av snabba noggranna metoder för övervakning av landskap och biologisk mångfald är därför av hög prioritet i Sverige och resten av Europa. På grund av landskapsanalysens komplexitet, har ett behov av att kvantifiera landskapets ekologiska egA need to develop methods for quantifying the landscape in means of improving the monitoring of the biological diversity has become more necessary in recent years. Landscape indices are one way of quantifying the landscape. The method gives an opportunity to treat data statistically and to compare the patterns on different scales. The aim of the paper is to evaluate two indices, a shape index and

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious adverse effect of treatment with oral anticoagulants. Prognostic data after ICH associated with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are sparse. We compared 90-day survival and functional outcome following NOAC-ICH versus VKA-ICH using data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstr

An integral equation-based numerical method for scattering from multi-dielectric cylinders is presented. Electromagnetic fields are represented via layer potentials in terms of surface densities with physical interpretations. The existence of null-field representations then adds superior flexibility to the modeling. Local representations are used for fast field evaluation at points away from their

Software reliability is a frequently used term, but very seldom the reliability is under control during a software development project. This paper presents a method, Statistical Usage Testing (SUT), which gives the possibility to estimate and predict, and hence control the software reliability. SUT is the reliability certification method described as a part of Cleanroom software engineering. The m

Exhaustive, automatic testing of dataflow (esp. mapreduce) programs has emerged as an important challenge. Past work demonstrated effective ways to generate small example data sets that exercise operators in the Pig platform, used to generate Hadoop map-reduce programs. Although such prior techniques attempt to cover all cases of operator use, in practice they often fail. Our SEDGE system addresse

Objectives: Iron deficiency anemia in childhood is a serious public health problem worldwide. Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) is a novel biomarker of iron deficiency adopted for adults but there is a lack of reference intervals for Ret-He in infants. The aim of this study was to provide data from healthy infants. Methods: Swedish infants (n = 456), born at term after normal pregnancies we

Many computer vision applications require robust estimation of the underlying geometry, in terms of camera motion and 3D structure of the scene. These robust methods often rely on running minimal solvers in a RANSAC framework. In this paper we show how we can make polynomial solvers based on the action matrix method faster, by careful selection of the monomial bases. These monomial bases have trad

The MAX IV Laboratory is a synchrotron radiation user facility located just outside the city of Lund, Sweden. The facility is made up of two storage rings, at 3 GeV and 1.5 GeV, respectively, and a linear accelerator, serving as a full-energy injector for the rings as well as a driver for the Short-Pulse Facility (SPF) located downstream of the extraction point to the 3 GeV ring. Recently, as part
