Detta kapitel analyserar vad man kan kalla automatiserad policyimplementering på digitala plattformar och därmed kombinationen av normativitet och plattformisering. I kapitlet fokuseras betydelsen av de automatiserade verktyg där varianter av artificiell intelligens och maskininlärning används för att moderera och effektivisera olika informationsflöden. Här tecknas tre kategorier där plattformar a
Denna rapport ger en översikt av linjär optimal stokastisk kontroll. De fundamentala problemen formuleras och de centrala resultaten gives, utan bevis men med utförliga fysikaliska tolkningar. Användandet av siffermaskiner både för syntes och implementering behandlas. Vidare diskuteras några praktiska problem förenade med det optimala systemets realisering: val av samplingstid, reelltidsberäkning
The TRE3 research project focuses on the development of a new and innovative timber frame wall modulus for emergency housing facilities. The wall modulus, in this paper referred to as Hybrid Timber Frame (HTF) wall system, is an evolution of the traditional Light-Frame Timber (LFT) structural systems and combines the advantages and some peculiar aspects of lightweight structures to the potentialit
Nano-magnetic biocatalyst particles, lipase-immobilized chitosan-crosslinked magnetic nanoparticles (LCMNs) were prepared by a new approach integrated from magnetic nanoparticle preparation, in situ thin layer coating and crosslinking of chitosan, and enzyme immobilization method. Thin layer coating of magnetic (Fe3O4) by crosslinked chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by reacting FeCl3.6H2O and
Length-of-stay (LOS) is a key parameter in destination management that determines the number of guest nights relative to arrival numbers, with concomitant repercussions for revenue generation and other performance indicators. This article investigates the development of LOS for 32 destinations in developed and emerging economies as well as Small Islands and Developing States (SIDS). The analysis i
Chamber measurements of trace gas fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere have been conducted for almost a century. Different chamber techniques, including static and dynamic, have been used with varying degrees of success in estimating greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) fluxes. However, all of these have certain disadvantages which have either prevented them from providing an adequate es
In 2018, a new training program for primary care physicians was launched in Japan. As physicians responsible for the training of new primary care physicians, we have faced many problems, particularly in rural areas. The influence of this new program on primary care physicians in rural areas of Japan has not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this research was to improve training for primar
Few data exist regarding predictors of rapid aortic root dilation and referral for aortic surgery in Marfan syndrome (MFS). To identify independent predictors of the rate of aortic root (AoR) dilation and referral for aortic surgery, we investigated the data from the Pediatric Heart Network randomized trial of atenolol versus losartan in young patients with MFS. Data were analyzed from the echocar
The effects of socio-economic/occupational factors on gastric cancer at various subsites (including corpus, cardia and unspecified cancers) are not well known. To investigate this issue, we carried out a follow-up study on the economically active Swedish population, based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. We calculated standardized incidence ratios and 95% confidence intervals for different o
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the associations between socioeconomic/occupational factors and pancreatic cancer. Methods: The Swedish Family-Cancer Database was used to calculate standardized incidence ratios for different social classes and occupational groups. Lung cancer risks were also determined. The reference group was all the economically active population. Results:
The reasons for the high risk of contralateral breast cancer are not understood, although polygenic mechanisms have been suggested to be involved. The nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database was used to examine the interaction of the risks for contralateral and familial cancer. Relative risks were separately determined for contralateral and familial breast cancers, and these were tested for addi
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disabling condition, for which tobacco smoking, environmental pollution, inherited alpha-antitrypsin deficiency and their interactions are predisposing factors. We carried out a family study on COPD in order to address the role of heritable and environmental risk factors at a population level.METHODS: In a nationwide study o
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a common disabling condition, with known environmental and familial risk factors and with their assumed interactions. We wanted to carry out a family study on asthma to address gene-environment interactions at a population level.METHODS: We conducted a nation-wide study on familial risks for asthma. An asthma database was constructed by linking the Multigeneration Register on
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to investigate associations between hospitalization for epilepsy and two factors: socioeconomic status and occupation.DESIGN AND SETTING: A nationwide database was constructed in Sweden by linking the Swedish Census to the Hospital Discharge Register to obtain data on all first-time hospitalizations for epilepsy in adults in Sweden during the study period (1987
Migraine and other headaches are common disabling conditions, reducing the quality of life in the affected individuals. The unambiguous definition of familial risk for subtypes of migraine and other headaches will advance the search for the heritable causes of these conditions and their underlying mechanisms. We aim at defining familial risks for siblings to be hospitalized because of migraine or
Background: Animal models of human diseases are often used in biomedical research in place of human subjects. However, results obtained by animal models may fail to hold true for humans. One way of addressing this problem is to make animal models more similar to humans by placing human tissue into animal models, rendering them chimeric. Since technical and ethical limitations make neurological dis
