Many medical image analysis systems require segmentation of the structures of interest as a first step. For scans with gross pathology, automatic segmentation methods may fail. The authors' aim is to develop a versatile, fast, and reliable interactive system to segment anatomical structures. In this study, this system was used for segmenting lungs in challenging thoracic computed tomography (CT) s
The study reported in this paper examines foreign accent (FA) in adult simultaneous bilinguals (2L1ers). Specifically, we investigate how accent is affected if a first language is acquired as a minority (heritage) language as compared to a majority (dominant) language. We compare the perceived FA in both languages of 38 adult 2L1ers (German-French and German-Italian) to that of monolingual native
The globular protein γB-crystallin exhibits a complex phase behavior, where liquid-liquid phase separation characterized by a critical volume fraction ϕc = 0.154 and a critical temperature Tc = 291.8 K coexists with dynamical arrest on all length scales at volume fractions around ϕ ≈ 0.3-0.35, and an arrest line that extends well into the unstable region below the spinodal. However, although the s
Denna uppsats har till syfte att undersöka huruvida det, med hjälp av teknisk analys, föreligger större möjlighet att skapa lönsamma handelsstrategier för index än för enskilda aktier. Vi kommer även att belysa hur god avkastning sådana strategier kan generera i förhållande till en jämförelsestrategi där man köper och håller tillgången under hela perioden. Handelsstrategier baserade på dubbla löpa
BackgroundParental education has been suggested to be an effective instrument for improving child health in low- and middle-income countries. Both education and child health have improved, however, as well as related factors. These changes may have implications for the observed association.MethodsWe used Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 43 countries at two points in time, between 1991 a
I denna uppsats har jag fortsatt den ndersökning av svenska inlärare av franska som påbörjades i min C-uppsats. Avsikten har varit att studera om de språkliga avvikelser från den franska normen som upptäcktes i den förra studien kvarstår även denna gång då studien inte längre gäller vokaldurationer utan istället det tonala förloppet och final förlängning. Svenska inlärares prosodiska konstruktion
This chapter analyses trajectories of contextual reconstruction of machine learning models with calibrated weights, sometimes known as pre-trained or foundation models, as they are made operational in specific settings. Through ethnographic vignettes on car detection, bird tracking, and medical technology, it underscores the importance of cooperation and negotiation among actors facing contingenci
Novel coordinatively saturated platinum(ii) compounds bearing C-linked carbohydrates were synthesized and characterized. The complexes exhibit bipyramidal trigonal geometry with a bidentate nitrogen ligand and ethylene in the equatorial plane. The axial positions are occupied by a halide ligand X and a d-galactose or d-glucose derivative, linked either via C1 or C6. The compounds were designed for
Background: Stroke is one of the major chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) with high morbidity, disability and mortality. The key to preventing stroke lies in controlling risk factors. However, screening risk factors and quantifying stroke risk levels remain challenging. Methods: A novel prediction model for stroke risk based on two-level feature selection and deep fusion network (SRPNet) is
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates high-quality atmospheric greenhouse gas observations globally and provides these observations through the WMO World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG) supported by Japan Meteorological Agency. The WDCGG and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) analyse these measurements using different
Semi-arid ecosystems, common across the Australian continent, strongly influence the inter-annual variability and trend in the global terrestrial net carbon sink. Here we explore the future Australian terrestrial carbon cycle using the CMIP6 ensemble, and the dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. Uncertainty in Australia's carbon storage in vegetation ranged between 6 and 49 PgC at the end of

Regime change is considered essential for sustainability transitions. An important source of regime change is pressure from alternative innovations developed in niches and the actors involved. Governments often play an important role in such niche-regime interactions and affect whether, and how, this results in regime change. However, an overview of the various roles governments can play with resp
In 2018, the Indian state of Kerala experienced devastating floods that killed 433 people and displaced 1.4 million. The floods are becoming more frequent since then due to climate change. In this research, we compared international frameworks on health and disaster with national and state documents. We used content analysis and applied Walt and Gilson's framework of health policy analysis to

You are a board member of Adidas, a world renowned sportswear brand - a brand which has seen an immense growth over the past decade, growth which has also translated into a record valuation for the company in the stock market. But today is not a day which calls for celebration. One of your key collaborators, a person which you could attribu
This study aims to explore the complexities of ethical consumption and identify the factors shaping consumers’ sustainability decisions through online discussions. It seeks to understand how consumers articulate concerns, analyzing topics like the ethical consumption gap, governmentality, responsibilization etc. The research aims to drive positive change in both individual behaviors and societal
Kan växtbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier gynna tarmfloran? Tarmfloran har kopplats till både hälsa och sjukdom, och genom att äta probiotiska bakterier hoppas man kunna gynna de goda bakterierna i tarmen, som får oss att må bättre. I den här undersökningen har en växtbaserad och en mjölkbaserad yoghurt med tillsatta probiotiska bakterier ätits i 4 veckor och deras effekt på taIn recent years, the development of meat-and dairy analogues has increased to meet demands from consumers, as well as serving as environmentally beneficial alternatives to meat and dairy. While traditional plant-based diets based on whole-foods have been shown to lead to beneficial health effects, the new analogues differ vastly from the ingredients of a whole foods, plant-based diet and the effec
