Purpose or ObjectiveTo evaluate two commercial, CE labeled deep learning-based models for automatic organs at risk segmentation on planning CT images for prostate cancer radiotherapy. Model evaluation was focused on assessing both geometrical metrics and evaluating a potential time saving.Material and MethodsThe evaluated models consisted of RayStation 10B Deep Learning Segmentation (RaySearch Lab

It is often a challenge for a child to communicate their pain, and their possibilities to do so should be strengthened in healthcare settings. Digital self-assessment provides a potential solution for person-centered care in pain management and promotes child participation when a child is ill. A child's perception of pain assessment differs when it is assessed using digital or analog formats. As w

Introduction: The directionality of semantic change is problematic in traditional comparative models of language reconstruction. Compared to, e.g., phonological and morphological change, the directions of meaning change over time are potentially endless and difficult to reconstruct. The current paper attempts to reconstruct the mechanisms of lexical meaning change by a quantitative model. We use a

The historical subclassification of diabetes into predominantly types 1 and 2 is well appreciated to inadequately capture the heterogeneity seen in patient presentations, disease course, response to therapy and disease complications. This review summarises proposed data-driven approaches to further refine diabetes subtypes using clinical phenotypes and/or genetic information. We highlight the bene

Background Women's pregnancy history is associated with incident risk of coronary artery disease with some evidence also suggesting a relevance for prognosis following treatment. Objectives To study the associations between maternal history of preterm delivery, a history of small for gestational age infant, parity and age at first delivery with clinical restenosis after percutaneous coronary inter

BACKGROUND. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is widely used for prostate cancer screening but its levels are influenced by many non cancer-related factors. The goal of the study is to estimate the effect of genetic variants on PSA levels. METHODS. We evaluated the association of SNPs that were reported to be associated with prostate cancer risk in recent genome-wide association studies with plasma

Despite advances in anti-platelet treatments, there still exists an early increase in both ischemic as well as bleeding events following primary PCI in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Platelet inhibition data of different anti-platelet treatments in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction might offer some insight into these problems. The aim of this study was to evalua

There has been a significant rise in the number of patents originating from academic environments. However, current conceptualizations of academic patents provide a largely homogenous approach to define this entrepreneurial form of technology transfer. In this study we develop a novel categorization framework that identifies three subsets of academic patents which are conceptually distinct from ea

Risk disclosure is generally regarded as crucial in order for investors to make informed decisions in the resource allocation process. Our study is the first to empirically investigate the value-relevance of corporate risk disclosure. We focus on the disclosure of foreign exchange (FX) risk, which is an activity notorious for its lack of transparency. Our empirical analysis involves a FX risk disc

The aim of the paper is to discuss, with a broadly postcolonial sensibility, the complex role that language has come to play in the contemporary process of globalization. It attempts to show that language, besides being a medium of communication, has come to play a crucial role in companies’ conquest of the global market, on the one hand, and in defending a general idea of an imaginary homogenous

There are many market and organisational barriers to the breakthrough of a new industrial field such as bioenergy. For many observers, recent high prices of oil and the significant policy support measures throughout Europe, would appear to have created economic conditions that should be sufficient for the industry to prosper. However, a significant number of policies supposed to expand bioenergy (

The purpose of this paper is to give a description of the communicativity in a foreign language classroom and also of students’ communicative behaviour. Since the beginning of the 80s communication has been widely discussed as one of the main features in instructed language learning. The focus on form, that traditionally has been dominant in the language classroom, was combined or even replaced by

Att behöva bedöma en muntlig utsaga är något rätten ofta ställs inför. Med anledning av den fria bevisvärderingen som råder får underinstanserna främst söka ledning i de avgöranden som HD meddelat på området. Det finns även inom rättspsykologin gedigen forskning kring bedömningen av en utsaga. Framställningen syftar till att undersöka hur rättsläget avseende tillförlitlighetsbedömningen av en muIn criminal cases, the oral evidence can be the deciding factor for whether the court will convict the defendant or not. However, it is not an easy task to evaluate a statement. By reason of the principle of free evaluation of evidence, the District Court and the Court of Appeal may find guidance in precedent. In order to do the evaluation as accurate as possible, the court may also consider foren

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur synen på en lämplig förälder och föräldrarnas kön framställs och påverkar vid vårdnadstvister samt hur det står i relation till principen om barnets bästa. Det har gjorts genom att analysera, undersöka och diskutera hur föräldrarna beskrivits av socialnämnder och i domar. I uppsatsen har en rättsdogmatisk och en diskursanalytisk metod använts. IThe purpose of this essay is to examine how the issue of a suitable parent and the sex of the parent is described and influences in custody battles and how this relates to the principle of what is best for the child. This has been done by analyzing, examining and discussing how the parents are described by social services and courts. In the essay a classic legal method and a discourse analysis hav

Det här examensarbetet utgår från ett personligt intresse för den finska allmänna bastun och dess relation till staden. Första delen av rapporten beskriver den svenska badkulturen och hur synen på allmänna bad har sett ut över tid. Vidare undersöks hur andra badkulturer ser ut och teorier om bland annat termiskt välbehag, nakenhet, intimitet och det rituella diskuteras. I rapportens senare del red
