This study employs computational algorithms to automatically identify and classify features in X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy images. Principal component analysis (PCA) and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, such as Gaussian mixture (GM) clustering, are implemented to label features on a collection of XRF maps of human atherosclerotic plaque samples. The investigation involves the hard
This article proposes an agenda for political participation research aimed at providing empirical answers to questions derived from normative political theory. Based on a threefold distinction between responsive, participatory and deliberative models of democracy, the article first distinguishes three conceptions of political participation: as influencing attempts, as direct decision making, and a
Våra forskningsområden på Företagsekonomiska institutionen är entreprenörskap, forskningspolitik, marknadsföring, organisation, redovisning och finansiering samt strategi. Forskningen vid Företagsekonomiska institutionen har en stark akademisk prägel och är empiriskt orienterad med studier av såväl offentliga organisationer som privat verksamhet. Utöver organisationers inre verksamhet fokuseras äv
Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the major cause of acute coronary events (CEs). Plaque destabilization is the consequence of an imbalance between inflammatory-driven degradation of fibrous tissue and smooth muscle cell-dependent tissue repair. Proinflammatory factors have been documented extensively as biomarkers of cardiovascular risk but factors that contribute to stabilization of atherosc
It has been proposed that vascular progenitor cells play an important role in vascular repair, but their possible clinical importance in cardiovascular disease has not been fully characterized. Vascular endothelial growth factor A, placental growth factor and stem cell factor (SCF) are three growth factors that are important in recruiting vascular progenitor cells. In this study, we investigated t
Innovations affect urban and rural areas differently. Although thesupply chain management (SCM) literature recognises the interaction betweenurban and rural areas in terms of flow of products, people and communication,the rural perspective is clearly missing. An inductive approach was appliedusing an interdisciplinary panel of international experts to explore challengesand opportunities in the int
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kognitiv funktion är ett samlingsbegrepp för minne och högre tankeprocceser. Nedgången i dessa verbala, logiskt-induktiva, spatiala och minnes funktioner ses både vid normalt åldrandet och sekundärt till demens, stroke och åldersrelaterad minnesstörning. Förändringar i dessa funktioner kan vara ett tidigt tecken på vaskulärt (kärl-relaterad) betingad sjukdom eller degen
Hälsa och välmående Vår forskning inom detta område bygger på gedigen empirisk analys av hälsoutfall och hälso- och sjukvårdssystem och ger kunskap som är relevant för folkhälsa, vårdplanering och socialpolitik. Forskning inom Hälsa och välmående vid EkonomihögskolanVåra forskare undersöker och analyserar befolkningens hälsa, hälso- och sjukvårdssystem samt psykiskt och subjektivt välbefinnande ge

This paper makes a plea for the construction of a common agenda for higher education and science, technology and innovation (STI) policy research. The public higher education and research sector in all countries is currently in the grip of several challenges arising from increased accountability, internationalization and in some cases dwindling resources. Even as the sector is struggling to come t
The ease with which Zebra Finches can be kept and bred in captivity makes them a suitable model for avian quantitative genetic studies. After a brief introduction to some quantitative genetic concepts, we here provide an up-to-date overview of quantitative genetic studies in Zebra Finches. We discuss what these studies can teach us about the evolutionary and behavioural ecology of Zebra Finches an
OBJECTIVE: Lipids are central to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Specifically, which lipids are culprits remains controversial, and promising targets have failed in clinical studies. Sphingolipids are bioactive lipids present in atherosclerotic plaques, and they have been suggested to have both proatherogenic and antiatherogenic. However, the biological effects of these lipids remain u
Sustainability science has to solve some of the most complex problems of our times. So far, the field of sustainability science is more known for its promises than its solutions. It is successful at creating knowledge but is lacking in terms of developing actionable knowledge. The transdisciplinary process incorporates practitioners and the people for whom the solution is intended in the research
This paper includes a brief description of some closely related ongoing research activities aiming at learning from failures in order to improve the resilience of the Swedish railway system. One of these activities includes the development of a method aiming at assessing the capability for restoring the service of the railway system after strains affecting its technical, and often highly interdepe
Solving grand environmental societal challenges calls for transdisciplinary and participatory methods in social- ecological research. These methods enable co-designing the research, co-producing the results, and co-creating the impacts together with concerned stakeholders. COVID-19 has had serious impacts on thechoice of research methods, but reflections on recent experiences of ‘‘moving online’’
