In many fMRI task-evoked studies, localized brain activity can be detected by GLM fitting and statistical hypothesis testing. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is the classical method that requires Gaussian pre-smoothing of the data. Instead, the wavelet transform provides a compact representation of activation patterns. Wavelet based SPM (WSPM) is an extension of SPM that combines wavelet proc

Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from

This article is an overview of the various aspects characterizing the interjection - probably the most controversial linguistic unit in the history of grammatical tradition and modern linguistics - as Latin grammarians outlined them, especially in the postclassical and late antiquity. The corpus employed for the purposes of this study is Henricus Keil's Grammatici Latini, a most valuable and uniqu

Det har hävdats att den teoribildning rörande beslutsfattande under osäkerhet som utvecklats främst inom matematiken, men även inom den ekonomiska vetenskapen bland andra, med fördel skulle kunna inkorporeras även i den juridiska disciplinen. I första hand är det i detta sammanhang Bayes sats som avses, och denna sats tillämplighet på juridiska spörsmål. Detta började diskuteras på allvar mot slutThere have been claims put forth which aims at proving that the theories developed within mathematics, but also within economics to name one, regarding decision making and fact finding would suit very well to be adopted into the legal decision making as well. It is in this context primarily Bayes’ theorem which is referred and mentioned theorems compatibility with law. One of the first articles re

Forskning visar nu entydigt att den globala genomsnittstemperaturen stiger och att antropogena växthusgasutsläpp i stor utsträckning är orsaken till detta. Medan klimatförändringen är en global angelägenhet, är det också en fråga om stor orättvisa. De utvecklade länderna har generellt sett bidragit mest till klimatförändringarna, men effekterna kommer att bli värre för dem som har bidragit minst. Scientific findings now unequivocally show that the global average temperature is rising and that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are largely responsible for this. While climate change is a global concern, it is also a concern of great injustice. Developed countries have generally contributed most to the climate changes, but the impacts will strike harder on those who have contributed least

Purpose: The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, we aimed to develop a framework concerning how to directly and indirectly control discrimination in the workplace using Man- agement Control Systems (MCS). Second, we wanted to examine whether this framework is practically applicable in multinational enterprises (MNE). Methodology: The first part of the purpose was achieved through conduc

This master thesis was carried out at Lund University in collaboration with the European Spallation Source (ESS). It brings up the question of whether it’s possible to find an optimal solution for complex power electronic topologies, using a well formulated global optimization methodology. The commercially available software tool MATLAB was adopted for these studies, including its own toolbox for

Material science has become an important research area in order to fulfill today’s requirements on lighter, cheaper and more sustainable materials. The European spallation source is a research center based on the world’s most powerful neutron source, which will enable new possibilities to evaluate material properties down to an atomic level. The linear accelerator (Linac), accelerates with help of

This thesis investigates the development of labor market policies directed at immigrants in Sweden, during the period of 1968-2010. The theoretical framework is built around three distinct ideas concerning the concept of citizenship – one libertarian, one empowering and a last one called caring, in the sense that it emphasizes the responsibility of society. My material consists of government publi

This legal research examines the regulation of AI-driven credit risk models in B2B trade credit insurance under the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) and the Solvency II Directive. The study analyses how these frameworks address algorithmic transparency, accountability, and fairness while maintaining market stability. The AI Act classifies credit assessment systems as high-risk AI, im

A Trögers base analogue the amine1,7-dimethyl-6H,12H-5,11-methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine-2,8-diamine has been synthesized successfully and characterized using 1H NMR. This work describes 4 steps out of 6 in a synthetic scheme and includes a brief summary of the history, properties and applications of Trögers Base taken from the literature. Of particular note is the condensation step the protoco

Det är vedertaget i svensk rätt att avtal om framtida överlåtelse av fast egen- dom, såsom optionsavtal, är ogiltiga. En option är en rätt, men inte skyldighet, att i framtiden köpa eller sälja viss egendom. Även om det inte framgår explicit i lagtext eller förarbeten föreligger alltså i praktiken ett förbud mot option till fast egendom. Uppsatsens syfte är att granska huruvida det föreligger skälAgreements concerning future real estate transactions, such as option agree- ments, are invalid in the Swedish legal system. An option constitutes a right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell certain property in the future. There is a prohibition against option agreements to real estate, although it does not appear explicitly in the text of a law or the legislative history. The purpose of this t

We discuss the associated cc¯ and bb¯ quark pairs production in the double-parton scattering (DPS) process in ultraperipheral (UPCs) AA collisions. We derive an analogue of the inclusive DPS pocket formula and the photon-energy dependent effective cross section considering an overlap between the hard SPS scatterings. We provide numerical predictions for the DPS cross sections for the cc¯ bb¯ produ

Understanding how the anatomy of the human brain constrains and influences the formation of large-scale functional networks remains a fundamental question in neuroscience. Here, given measured brain activity in gray matter, we interpolate these functional signals into the white matter on a structurally-informed high-resolution voxel-level brain grid. The interpolated volumes reflect the underlying
