Key questions for understanding hippocampal function in memory and navigation in humans are the type and source of visual information that reaches the human hippocampus. We measured bidirectional pairwise effective connectivity with functional magnetic resonance imaging between 360 cortical regions while 956 Human Connectome Project participants viewed scenes, faces, tools, or body parts. We devel
Despite the crucial role of various insulin analogs in achieving satisfactory glycemic control, a comprehensive understanding of their in-solution dynamic mechanisms still holds the potential to further optimize rapid insulin analogs, thus significantly improving the well-being of individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Here, we employed hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to decipher the mole
Using a microcontroller unit to implement different machine learning algorithms for myoelectric prosthesis control is currently feasible. Still there are hardware and timing constraints that need to be accounted for. This master thesis presents results from automatically generated Arduino code for some Neural Networks, Convolution Neural Networks and linear machine learning models that was impleme
A Bose-Einstein condensate is a type of gas consisting of one or more types of particles called bosons which are cooled to a temperature very close the absolute zero. Under these conditions the particles all start to occupy their lowest quantum state. Once in these states it is necessary to use quantum physics to describe the behaviour of the particles by the means of a wave function which describ

Kunskap om markens uppbyggnad är viktig både för konstruktions och prospekteringsändamål. Geofysiska undersökningsmetoder kan användas för att skapa en överblick att basera vidare undersökningar på. I den här studien används likströms resistivitet och inducerad polarisation, IP. Datan är inverterad med en Cole-Cole modell i programmet ÅrhusInv och använd för att karakterisera berggrunden vid ÖnnesFor both construction and exploration purposes, knowledge of the subsurface is important. Geophysical exploration methods can be used to acquire an overview of an area on which further investigations can be based. In this study direct current resistivity and induced polarization data, inverted with a Cole-Cole model in program AarhusInv, are used to characterize the bedrock at Önneslöv in Scania,
The purpose of this thesis is to determine how electric vehicle trucks can meet the needs of customers in the urban building and construction sector. This sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and also creates noise and other disturbances in urban environments. There are multiple benefits that come with electric trucks, which can address these issues if they are used
Förenta Nationernas fredsbevarande operationer har under nästan två decennier besvärats av anklagelser om sexuellt utnyttjande av och sexuella övergrepp på civilbefolkningar. Flera rapporter visar inte bara att organisationens fredsbevarande styrkor begår dessa brott mot just de människor de fått i uppdrag att beskydda, utan också att de undgår ansvar och straff. Denna uppsats undersöker och utvärUnited Nations peacekeeping operations have, for the better part of two decades, been plagued by allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of local civilian populations. Several reports indicate not only that peacekeepers exploit and abuse the very people they were sent to protect, but also that these crimes routinely go unpunished. This thesis examines and evaluates the different methods of ho
Due to the focus of their study program, environmental and sustainability students are vulnerable to experience negative emotional impacts, potentially affecting their mental health. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of emotions and emotional resilience in relation to the climate crisis by examining experienced emotions, studying the power students have over their emotions, and po
As the need to adapt to a changing climate and the political rhetoric in this regard are growing, Berlin’s Senate has issued strategic policies – complemented by an increase of funding. Berlin’s socio-cultural features and place-based factors seem predisposed for so-called “Nature-based Solutions” (NbS) that can support the achievement of adaptation efforts. This encouraging context seems to be co
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG), the emissions contribution from global aviation is set to increase. Electric aviation has emerged as an alternative which could form part of the solution. Sweden, which is on the path to carbon neutrality and has a long history in aviation, could contribute to the global efforts in mitigating clim
Smart City is a paradigm for the development of urban spaces through the implementation of state-of-the-art ICT. There are two main approaches when developing Smart Cities: top-down and bottom-up. Based on the bottom-up approach, the concepts of Smart People and Smart Communities have emerged as dimensions of the Smart City, advocating for the engagement of citizens in Smart People initiatives. Th
Randomized, double-blind, controlled studies have shown that treatment with risedronate reduces the risk of vertebral fracture in postmenopausal women with established vertebral osteoporosis. They also show that the drug decreases the risk of non-vertebral fractures in women with osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of risedronate in postmenopausal women wi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avloppsvatten renas från fosfor för att minimera utsläppet till sjöar och hav. Näringsämnena fosfor och kväve bidrar till övergödningen i våra vatten och kan reduceras kraftigt på avloppsreningsverken. Fosforavskiljning går huvudsakligen ut på att få löst fosfat att hamna i en fast fas ? slammet, för att sedan kunna avskilja det från det renade vattnet. Bakterier som vThe idea of phosphorus removal at wastewater treatment plants is to transfer dissolved phosphorus into a solid phase. Together with the rest of the produced sludge it is then removed from the water, resulting in a decreased concentration of phosphorus in the effluent and the prevention of the eutrophication in the recipient. Phosphorus can either be stored biologically, with enhanced biological p
Cells continuously export, import, and recycle molecules over the plasma membrane. Internalization, i.e. cellular import of extracellular material, is a fundamental process, which provides cells with nutrients and enables the immune cells of higher organisms to remove debris, sample their surroundings for antigens and to fight microbes. Moreover, internalization regulates complex cellular signalli
Objective. To determine the plasma levels of the renal functional markers creatinine, urate, cystatin C, beta(2)-microglobulin and beta-trace protein in samples from the first, second, early third and late third trimesters of 398 healthy women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies. Material and methods. Plasma samples from 58 healthy non-pregnant women served as controls. The creatinine levels
New radiative lifetimes for 20 levels of Pr II have been measured using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. The combination of these experimental values with theoretical branching fractions (BF) obtained with the pseudo-relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) approach has allowed us to determine oscillator strengths and transition probabilities for about 150 lines appearing in th
The aim of this study was to determine the threshold of fracture probability at which interventions became cost-effective in men and women, based on data from Sweden. We modeled the effects of a treatment costing $500 per year given for 5 years that decreased the risk of all osteoporotic fractures by 35% followed by a waning of effect for a further 5 years. Sensitivity analyses included a range of
A resistivity and time-domain induced polarization (IP) survey was conducted at a landfill Site under restoration at Harlov in Southern Sweden. The covering of the landfill had begun some years ago, without keeping precise records of the work done, as is usual in such procedures. The survey was conducted in two steps, on two adjacent areas. First, a number of geoelectrical sections were made on a
