Knowledge of how blood perfusion is affected during and after reconstructive surgery is of great importance to predict the survival of grafts and flaps. When commonly used reconstructive procedures were developed a century ago, they were based on empirical observations of clinical outcome. However, today modern, non-invasive techniques are available to monitor perfusion during and after surgery. A

In order for manufacturing companies to remain competitive while also offering a high degree of customization for the customers, flexible robots that can be rapidly reprogrammed to new tasks need to be applied in the factories. In this paper we propose a method for the intuitive programming of an industrial mobile robot by combining robot skills, a graphical user interface and human gesture recogn

Fibrogenic processes instigate fatal chronic diseases leading to organ failure and death. Underlying biological processes involve induced massive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) by aberrant fibroblasts. We subjected diseased primary human lung fibroblasts to an advanced three-dimensional phenotypic high-content assay and screened a repurposing drug library of small molecules for inhibitin

A method for studying human sinus cavities and inflammation status is described. Diode laser spectroscopy of molecular oxygen gas in the cavity is performed at 760 nm through the strongly scattering facial tissue in a backscattering geometry. Model experiments on tissue-like scattering plastics were made to elucidate the possible penetration depths and the expected signal levels. Measurements on t

Human beings make errors and that is nothing that we can avoid completely. We can however lower the risk of people doing wrong in situations where, for example, medical devices are used. The overall objective of the research presented in this paper is to investigate how usability testing can contribute to software risk management process in the medical device domain. Experience has been collected

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA or hK3) is a glandular kallikrein with abundant expression in the prostate that is widely used to detect and monitor prostate cancer (PCa), although the serum level is frequently elevated also in benign and inflammatory prostatic diseases. PSA testing is useful for early detection of localized PCa and for the detection of disease recurrence after treatment. However,

Objective: The aim of this study was to review the literature to identify studies reporting repair of erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method: A systematic literature search for publications on the repair of erosions was performed in PubMed and Embase, limited to human adults and published in English. Titles, abstracts, and full reports of articles identified were screened by the first autho

The article outlines the most pressing justice questions in a transition to a fossil fuel-free welfare state in Sweden.

BACKGROUND: Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) is a physiotherapeutic treatment method that is commonly used in Scandinavian mental health services. However, for patients with schizophrenia, there are few studies that verify the effectiveness of BBAT, or explain which dysfunctions or disabilities BBAT has an effect on in this group of patients. The aim of the present study was thus to describe pa

The purpose of this paper is to present a broad perspective regarding the historical similarities and differences in the development of asylum and refugee policy, at the supranational and national level. By comparing the two historical contexts of the European Union and Sweden, this paper attempts to answer whether national asylum and refugee policy has become more restrictive from entering the su

This report is a fire safety evaluation of the hospital Lasarettet i Landskrona, Sweden. The main objective was to guarantee the safety during evacuation in case of a fire in three of the hospitals infirmaries. This was done by a closer examination of one of these infirmaries. No regard has been taken for economic or environmental aspects, this report focuses only on human safety. Three fire scena

Abstract The purpose of this essay is to study how the state governs the population in Sweden 1809-1870. The period from the “revolutionary” government of 1810 to the 1870's is a period of change in Sweden, when old feudal institutions are put under great pressure from economic and social change. The state changes, its relation to the local society changes, and new methods of power and polit

Folkbiblioteken i Sverige har ett lagstadgat uppdrag att bidra till en stärkt demokrati genom kunskapsförmedling och fri åsiktsbildning. Uppdraget med att bidra till den fria åsiktsbildningen tolkas ofta som att biblioteken ska förhålla sig opartiska till sina användare och sina samlingar. Nya förhållanden i informationsklimatet har skapat nya utmaningar för den fria åsiktsbildningen, såsom desinfPublic libraries in Sweden have a statutory task to contribute to a strengthened democracy through the dissemination of knowledge and the free formation of opinion. The latter is often understood as libraries being impartial to their users and collections. New conditions in the information climate have brought new challenges for the free formation of opinion, such as disinformation and polarizatio

The EU is as a supranational organization based on the thought of the formation of an emerging common European economy. European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/38/EC was put into force in 2004 and is the latest involving the EU rules on free movement within the EU territory. The directive, called the directive on free movement, can also be seen as a part of the plan of a strong Europe given

The aim of this thesis was to analyze how drug- and alcohol-free people make sense of their experiences from living in a society with drinking culture. The method for this study consisted of qualitative interviews with five abstainers. A constructivist approach was used, i.e. the narratives in this thesis were seen as subjective narratives, constructed by the storyteller. The framework of this the

Semantic segmentation and object detection are nowadays dominated by methods operating on regions obtained as a result of a bottom-up grouping process (segmentation) but use feature extractors developed for recognition on fixed-form (e.g. rectangular) patches, with full images as a special case. This is most likely suboptimal. In this paper we focus on feature extraction and description over free-
