In recent years, the electrification of buses in public transport systems has increased in both scale and pace. Today, there are several examples of how this transition has been handled in public transport, with partly or fully electrified bus fleets in regular operations in many cities.The research project e(+)bus has focused on how the transition to electric buses has been handled in six Swedish

Several studies have evaluated various ML techniques and found promising results in classifying bug reports. However, these studies have used different evaluation designs, making it difficult to compare their results. Furthermore, they have focused primarily on accuracy and did not consider other potentially relevant factors such as generalizability, explainability, and maintenance cost. These two

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied for medical knowledge discovery and to support or automate clinical decision-making. The aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge on (1) how AI experts, radiologists, and standardizers make sense of AI, in the processes of medical AI development, clinical use and standardization, and (2) how this sensemaking c

We present the building blocks of an energy-efficient on-chip platform for neural network applications based on III-V semiconductor nanowires and nanopillar arrays. These will work as emitting and detecting neurosynaptic nodes for spiking nanocircuits, as light sensors that emulate navigational properties of insect vision systems.

Code review is a well-established and valuable software development practice associated with code quality, interpersonal, and team benefits. However, it is also time-consuming, with developers spending 10–20% of their working time doing code reviews. With recent advances in AI capabilities, there are more and more initiatives aimed at fully automating code reviews to save time and streamline softw

Specular flashes from insect wings are useful for remote diversity assessment, yet their duration limits and constraining factors remain unknown. We studied this using sampling rates in entomological lidar system up to 40 kHz, resolving quick wing flashes down to 130μs duration from 40 m.

A complex and multi-layered liability structure with potentially overlapping claims on underlying collateral reduces expected recovery rates for creditors, which increases their incentives to keep otherwise insolvent firms afloat. Financially distressed firms may therefore seek to strategically “toxify” their capital structure to stave off future bankruptcy. In this article, we find evidence indic

The research presented in this paper is based on interviews with 51 employees from 51 different organizations (including private and public sectors). Employees were interviewed more than once, over a period of 6 months, each interview lasted between 30 min to 1 h. The discussion in this paper is based on interviews during sessions which were explicitly dedicated to Information Systems and Cybersec

Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology, Second Edition, Three Volume Set captures the breadth of this important field and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and use semi

Robotic systems often face execution failures due to unexpected obstacles, sensor errors, or environmental changes. Traditional failure recovery methods rely on predefined strategies or human intervention, making them less adaptable. This paper presents a unified failure recovery framework that combines Vision-Language Models (VLMs), a reactive planner, and Behavior Trees (BTs) to enable real-time

Aim: Healthcare services are in need of tools that can help to ensure a sufficient capacity in periods with high prevalence of respiratory tract infections (RTIs). During the COVID-19 pandemic, we forecasted the number of hospital admissions for RTIs among children aged 0–5 years. Now, in 2024, we aim to examine the accuracy and usefulness of our forecast models. Methods: We conducted a retrospect

Kommenterade utdrag ur generaldirektören och ecklesiastikministern Bengt Bergqvists (1860-1936) opublicerade memoarmanuskript på UB med fokus på beskrivningar av den fysiska miljön i det akademiska Lund 1879.

Klimatförändringen är en realitet som våra kritiska infrastrukturer måste anpassa sig till för att stå emot framtida hot. En analys av fem infrastrukturer – elnät, ICT, järnväg, fjärrvärme samt vatten och avlopp – visar stora skillnader i klimatanpassningsarbetet. Järnvägen har kommit längst, medan fjärrvärmen har störst behov av utveckling. Det övergripande största problemet är bristande samarbetClimate change is a reality, with no indication of slowing down or reversing. Climate change causes extreme weather to occur more intensely and frequently. This poses a significant threat to critical infrastructures, which must adapt to withstand the new conditions they are increasingly exposed to. Climate change adaptation are measures which have the purpose to lessen the negative effects of clim

Being a complement to ecosystem services (ES), geosystem services (GS) is a novel concept that helps identify and understand the contributions of the diversity of geological structures and processes of nature to human wellbeing. A pilot survey was carried out to Swedish municipalities in order to: (i) in a systematic way investigate if and how they currently approach GS in their spatial planning p

Brottsutvecklingen i Sverige har under de senaste åren föranlett utökade befogenheter i den brottsbekämpande verksamheten. Diskussionerna kring utökningar av tillämpningsområdet för preventiva tvångsmedel har varit synnerligen aktuella, och det har skett många lagändringar i vår närtid. En av de senaste lagändringarna är införandet av hemlig rumsavlyssning som ett preventivt tvångsmedel. Hemlig ruThe development of crime in Sweden in recent years has necessitated new methods in law enforcement activities. Discussions regarding the expansion of the scope of preventive coercive measures have been highly topical, and numerous legislative amendments have been made in recent times. One of the latest amendments is the introduction of secret room surveillance as a preventive coercive measure. Sec
