The objective of this thesis is to expand on previous research by implementing a new method for order-restricted estimation of length-biased data. This paper addresses the implementation and analysis of a stochastic spatial probabilistic model for characterizing the geometric relationship between perpetrator addresses and crime scene locations. The given data are length-biased observations of a de

Background: Mammography screening programmes have been widely implemented across European countries over the past 40 years with the main aim to detect breast cancer earlier and thereby reduce breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to analyse and compare changes over time in breast cancer incidence, by stage at diagnosis, and breast cancer mortality across countries in relation to the timing of

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally been preferred over computed tomography (CT) for segmentation of intracranial structures due to its superior low contrast resolution. However, a reliable CT-based segmentation could improve patient management when MRI is not practical. Despite advancements in CT imaging, such as enhanced tissue differentiation using virtual monoenerget

The training of the state-of-the-art Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) consumes massive amounts of energy, while the human brain learns new tasks with remarkable efficiency. Currently, the training of DNNs relies almost exclusively on Backpropagation (BP). However, BP faces criticism due to its biologically implausible nature, underscoring the significant disparity in performance and energy efficiency b

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe

The Gaussian β-ensemble is a real n-point configuration {xj}n1 picked randomly with respect to the Boltzmann factor e− β 2 Hn, where Hn = ∑i≠j log |xi−1xj| + n ∑ni=112 xi2. It is well known that the point process {xj }n1 tends to follow the semicircle law σ (x) = 21π√(4 − x2 )+ in certain average senses. A Fekete configuration (minimizer of Hn) is spread out in a much more uniform way in the inter

Background: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a well-known risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, studies examining its relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) have produced conflicting results and suggested possible sex-specific differences. This study investigated the sex-specific associations between serum apoB concentrations and incident AF and offer insight into the inconsistencies in previous resea

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased substantially in recent decades. Physical activity is a key component in improving metabolic and overall health in children with obesity. The Swedish Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) is an established method for promoting physical activity, yet knowledge regarding its applicability and acceptability in paediatric

På senare år har Lagrådet riktat kraftfull kritik mot lagförslag som rege-ringen trots allt lagt fram inför riksdagen, och som sedermera blivit lag. Att lagstiftaren frångår en lång praxis kring lagarnas beredning och remissin-stansernas betydelse för slutlig lag kan antas påverka förarbetenas roll som rättskälla. Utifrån denna bakgrund är syftet med uppsatsen att ur ett kon-stitutionellt perspektIn recent years the Council on Legislation (Lagrådet) has directed forceful criticism at preparatory legislation that the Government has nevertheless submitted to the Riksdag (Parliament), and which have subsequently be-come law. The legislature’s departure from an old practice concerning the preparation of legislation and the significance of referral bodies for the final form of law may be assume

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may, and often does, profoundly reshape daily life, altering physical abilities, social roles, and personal identities. While assistive technologies, including assistive robotics, are often framed as solutions to re-establish independence, their adoption is shaped by practical, emotional, and social considerations as well as functional qualities. Individuals wi

One of the biggest challenges parties in multiparty governments face is making policies together and overcoming the risk of a policy stalemate. Scholars have devoted much attention to the study of how various institutions in cabinet and parliament help coalition parties with conflicting policy preferences to be efficient in the policy-making process. Coalition agreements are one of many instrument

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is rare but aggressive. The extent of surgical intervention for different GBC stages is non-uniform, ranging from cholecystectomy alone to extended resections including major hepatectomy, resection of adjacent organs and routine extrahepatic bile duct resection (EBDR). Robust evidence here is lacking, however, and survival benefit poorly defined. This study ass

This thesis examines the role of beamlines with publication metadata from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF a large scientific facility offering diverse conditions for scientific research. As a user-oriented Big Science facility, the ESRF channels extremely brilliant light into different experimental areas called beamlines that house specific instruments that cater to the needs of

Computer-vision-based gaze estimation refers to techniques that estimate gaze direction directly from video recordings of the eyes or face without the need for an eye tracker. Although many such methods exist, their validation is often found in the technical literature (e.g., computer science conference papers). We aimed to (1) identify which computer-vision-based gaze estimation methods are usabl

GENERAL AIM: To investigate how common single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be used in prevention and treatment of CVD. SUBJECTS: Subjects from the population-based Malmö-Diet-and-Cancer-(MDC)-Study (n=30447) and hypertensives from the Nordic-Diltiazem-(NORDIL)-Study (n=10881). METHODS AND RESULTS: A nine-SNP-lipid-genetic-risk-score was r

Peak aerobic power in humans ((V) over dot(O2), peak) is markedly affected by inspired O-2 tension (F-IO2). The question to be answered in this study is what factor plays a major role in the limitation of muscle peak. (V) over dot(O2) in hypoxia: arterial O-2 partial pressure (P-a,(O2)) or O-2 content (C-a,C-O2)? Thus, cardiac output (dye dilution with Cardio-green), leg blood flow (thermodilution
