Estimating depth from an image is an ill-fitted problem, since we project a three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional image. However, human can estimate a plausible depth from only a single eye and often are we relaying on this for quick estimation of moving objects. Although machine learning has shown to be powerful in computer vision tasks, the process of constructing deep learning models is
It was not until the 1970's, when the claims that lawyers profession fell within the exception of official authority (Article 45 EC) were defeated in the Reyners judgement and the lawyer's profession was held to be within the scope of freedom of establishment. In 1977, the Community legislator adopted a Legal service directive. The directive applies to the lawyers from any Member State whe

Introduction: There is a common understanding that driving under the influence of alcohol is associated with higher risk of being involved in crashes with injuries and possible fatalities as the outcome. Various countermeasures have therefore from time to time been taken by the authorities to prevent drunk driving. One of them has been the alcohol interlock. Up to now, interlocks have mainly been
Critics maintain that there are a number of troublesome issues resulting from the construction sector’s way of operating and that these remain, despite widespread criticism and measures designed to change all of this. The construction sector’s and the critics’ manner of describing these problems fails to a large extent to take into consideration the way people function in connection with practical
Breast cancer is a very heterogeneous disease in terms of clinical characteristics, genetic aberrations and prognosis. In Paper I, we focused on the CD44 molecule that often is aberrantly expressed in breast cancer and is widely used as a marker for cancer stem cells. Several isoforms of the CD44 molecule were analyzed at the transcriptome level across breast tumors and the expression of individua
Denna avhandling är en sammanläggningsavhandling som består av tre enskilda forskningsartiklar som undersöker om och hur de inflytelserika åren, negativa händelser och kollektiva kriser påverkar social tillit – tron att dom flesta människor går att lita på. Trots det omfattande vetenskapliga intresset för social tillit, baseras större delen av tidigare forskning om hur social tillit formas över liThis dissertation is a compilation thesis comprised of three individual research articles that explore whether and how the impressionable years, detrimental events and collective crises predict social trust – the belief that most people can be trusted. Despite the widespread scholarly interest in social trust, most previous research in the formation of social trust over the life-course is based on
SCA Packaging, as a provider of transport packaging, wants further knowledge of the logistics processes a corrugated board box undergoes. This thesis describes the development, the theory and the trial of a method for modelling logistic processes. The method is based on a break down of the packaging process, and analysis of the resulting components. The packaging process in its entirety is the ma
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Allt fler rapporter har kommit under de senaste åren som visar på att våg- och stormklimatet har förvärrats sedan 1960-talet. Detta har oroat bland andra återförsäkringsbolag som har betalat ut allt mer pengar till stormrelaterade skador de senaste åren. Andra undersökningar har visat att det nuvarande storm- och vågklimatet inte är värre än det var i början av The effects of a global climatic change on the wind climate of northwestern Europe are investigated with the aid of a regional climate model. There have up to date been few studies of how the wind climate will react to a greenhouse gas warming. Those that have been done are mostly global scale studies and centered on changes in storm activity during the winter season. I’m using data from a regiona
Förstainstansrättens dom i målet Microsoft mot Kommissionen har gett upphov till många konkurrensrättsliga frågor, bl.a. gällande Microsofts tying av Windows Media Player till sitt operativsystem Windows. Denna uppsats för framförallt ett resonemang kring frågan om huruvida de ”traditionella” EG-rättsliga metoder som idag används vid bedömningen av kopplingsförbehåll (tying) är förlegade när dessa
Problem: The relations between first and second tier suppliers within the automotive industry have changed drastically during recent years. Previously involving the supply of simple components, today the relation involves collaborative product development of complex subsystems. The situation is rather new for the actors, hence there are a number of problems that act as restraints for the collabora
Since a ship is movable and on the same time a very high-priced asset, a ship owner in debt may be very tempted to move it outside a creditor´s reach. Fortunate for the creditor it exist a legal mechanism that hinders this, it is referred to as “arrest of ship”. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current legal position in Sweden regarding arrest of ships and to discuss the specific proble
New regimens are constantly being pursued in cancer treatment, especially in the context of treatment-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are assumed to be involved in cancer recurrence. Here, we investigated the anti-cancer activity of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens and of synthetic derivatives in breast cancer cell lines, with a specific focus on activity aga

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar till stora delar om fotodynamisk tumörterapi (PDT). PDT har sedan början av förra århundradet undersökts som ett tänkbart alternativ till strålningsbehandling, kirurgi och kemoterapi för behandling av cancertumörer i kroppen. Precis som namnet antyder involverar metoden en fotodynamisk reaktion. För att denna reaktion skall ske behövs tre kompoPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) as a cancer treatment modality relies on the simultaneous presence of three components; light, photosensitiser and oxygen. Once excited by the light, the photosensitiser can interact with oxygen, leading to the formation of toxic oxygen species. These reactive substances induce cellular damage within the irradiated tissue volume. PDT has been investigated for treating ma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie avhandlar den internationellt välkända Brittisk-muslimska organisationen Islamic Foundation och dess nyförståelse och tillämpning av da‘wa, d.v.s. ’kallet’ eller ’inbjudan’ till islam. Da‘wa är en ungefärlig motsvarighet till de kristna missions- eller evangeliseringsbegreppen. Avhandlingen ägnar särskild uppmärksamhet åt organisationens förlagsverksamhet, This thesis deals with the conceptualisation of da‘wa, ‘the call to Islam’, of the British organisation the Islamic Foundation, and focuses its 25 years of publication of Islamic-English children’s literature. In order to analyse the implications of the new modalities of da‘wa in the late modern Muslim minority context, the present study applies a genealogical perspective. The study explores the
Popular Abstract in Swedish De senaste 25 åren har flera nya narkosläkemedel registrerats och fått stort genomslag i vårt land. Den främsta orsaken är att dessa läkemedel medger ett snabbare uppvaknande och bättre postoperativt välbefinnande, vilket gör att många patienter snabbare kan återvända hem efter sina operationer. Propofol (2,6-di-isopropylfenol) som är ett av våra mest använda intra-venöOver the last 25 years a number of new anaesthetic drugs have been introduced on the market to allow for better patient satisfaction and faster recovery after anaesthesia and sedation. Propofol (2,6-di-isopropylphenol), one of our most common iv anaesthetics, is associated with pleasant sleep and rapid recovery with little postoperative nausea. When used for anaesthetic induction propofol causes s
