This article explores assemblages of ground truth datasets for the development of medical artificial intelligence (AI). By drawing from interviews and observations, I examine how AI experts developing medical AI relate to the referential truth basis of their work, their ground truths, as an epistemic concern. By addressing how datasets are assembled from different sources, and produced, augmented

Usually the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are derived via Hamming windowed DFT spectrum. In this paper, we advocate to use a so-called multitaper method instead. Multitaper methods form a spectrum estimate using multiple window functions and frequency-domain averaging. Multitapers provide a robust spectrum estimate but have not received much attention in speech processing. Our speake

Aims: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) exists in three isoforms TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3. TGF-β1 has been suggested to be important for maintaining plaque stability, yet the role of TGF-β2 and -β3 in atherosclerosis remains to be investigated. This study explores the association of the three isoforms of TGF-β with plaque stability in the human atherosclerotic disease. Methods and results: TGF-β

Aims: The NAB2-STAT6 fusion was recently identified as a consistent finding in solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), resulting in nuclear expression of the C-terminal part of STAT6. Gene expression studies of SFT revealed high expression of the GRIA2 gene. The aim of this study was to examine GRIA2 expression in SFTs and other soft tissue tumours to evaluate its diagnostic utility. Methods and results: I

It has been hypothesized that aquaporin-9 (AQP9) is part of the unknown route of hepatocyte glycerol uptake. In a previous study, leptin receptor-deficient wild-type mice became diabetic and suffered from fasting hyperglycemia whereas isogenic AQP9(-/-) knock-out mice remained normoglycemic. The reason for this improvement in AQP9(-/-) mice was not established before. Here, we show increased gluco

The universally recognised action spectrum for the UV-induced conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to previtamin D3 in human skin was published in 1982, and indicates a maximum at about 297 nm with essentially no production above 315 nm. This work represents a milestone in research on vitamin D, but limitations in the original data should be recognised. Various findings have arisen in recent years w

The government of Finland has the ambition of making Finland the first fossil-free welfare state in the world and reaching carbon neutrality in 2035. Simultaneously, worktime reduction and basic income have been matters of vivid political debate. Both worktime reduction and basic income are go-to solutions for post-growth scholars as ways to arrange welfare in a non-growing economy. These initiati

What would it be like if we said one thing, and heard ourselves saying something else? Would we notice something was wrong? Or would we believe we said the thing we heard? Is feedback of our own speech only used to detect errors, or does it also help to specify the meaning of what we say? Comparator models of self-monitoring favor the first alternative, and hold that our sense of agency is given b

When testing bilingual children, as a speech and language therapist, one often encounter problems. A field which is especially challenging to test is lexical-semantic production. The aim was to shed more light on bilingual children’s inhibitory and switching ability during picture-naming and related non-verbal tests and which factors must be taken into consideration when evaluating these results.

The theme of this essay is to examine how prophet stories are presented for children. The specific aim is to analyze the narrative structure of two texts presenting the story of Adam. The study uses two Arabic children texts presenting the Story of Prophet Adam (pbuh). The study starts with presenting some theories and their typological frame of narratology and some of their narratological tools,

Denna uppsats, som inriktar sig på prövning av dopingrelaterade ärenden, behandlar intressekonflikten som uppstår mellan idrottsutövarens rätt till en rättvis dopingprocess och idrottens autonomi. Idrottens värld har länge valt att ha en långtgående självbestämmanderätt och de anser att autonomin är en fundamental utgångspunkt för att idrottens verksamhet ska kunna fortsätta på ett fungerande sättThis thesis deals with the conflict of interest arising between an athlete’s right to a fair trial, relating to doping, and the autonomy of sports. The world of sport has claimed a far-going autonomy for a long time. They believe that autonomy is a fundamental ground for the continuance of a well functioning world of sport. Today, the organs of the national sport organisation, Riksidrottsförbundet

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka samspelet mellan principen om jämbördig suveränitet stater emellan och möjligheterna för rättslig prövning och verkställighet av mänskliga rättigheter. I synnerhet undersöks rätten till hälsa, såsom den redogörs för i International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Uppsatsen innehåller en sammanfattning av suveränitetsteorin och dess klassiThis thesis seeks to examine the interplay of the theory of equal sovereignty between states and justiciability of human rights, in particular the right to health, as enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The essay contains an overview of the theory of sovereignty, divided into its two main paradigms of thought, namely universalism and particula

This thesis describes how business can be improved using a number of rather new methods; Data Mining, Business Intelligence and Customer Relationship Management. The idea presented is that an organization, through data, owns a lot of information about their business and customers. In order to turn this information into knowledge, it needs to be interpreted. The knowledge acquired will improve the
