We built machine learning and image analysis tools in order to forecast winter wheat yield based on a rich multi dimensional tensor of agricultural information spanning different scales. This information consists of satellite multi-band images, local soil samples obtained from national databases, local weather as well as field data from 23 farms cultivating winter wheat in southern Sweden. This is
Inom civilrätten uppstår emellanåt behovet av att återställa ett förhållande så att det i möjligaste mån återspeglar de omständigheter som i ett specifikt skede tidigare gällde i relationen mellan de involverade. Sådant behov kan t.ex. uppstå vid ogiltighet alternativt hävning av kontrakt i avtalsrätten, vindikation i sakrätten eller återvinning i konkursrätten. Att rent faktiskt skruva tillbaka t
Podcast "Öppet fall" från Lunds universitet, Juridiska fakulteten: En missad deklaration leder till att IT-företagaren Jim Rousk förlorar sitt hem. Kronofogden säljer hans hus, magasinerar möblerna, och placerar hans katt på kattpensionat. Rousk försöker överklaga men får svaret att alla lagar har följts. Då stämmer han Sverige inför Europadomstolen för mänskliga rättigheter.
I denna anmälan av doktorsavhandlingen Värdeersättning vid återgång, författad av Marigó Oulis, Uppsala, väcks å ena sidan frågor rörande dels avhandlingens något otraditionella upplägg, dels en viss spretighet avseende vilka spörsmål som egentligen står i fokus för studien. Å andra sidan hyllas både det ambitiösa grundarbete som genomgående präglar verket samt flera av de utförliga resonemang som
Biomass is an environmentally friendly renewable energy source and carbon-neutral fuel alternative. Direct combustion/gasification of biomass in the dense particle-fluid system is an important pathway to biomass energy utilization. To efficiently utilize biomass for energy conversion, a full understanding of biomass thermal conversion in lab/industrial-scale equipment is essential. This thesis aim
Sunlight is a plentiful, continuously flowing source of energy, fuelling life on Earth as we know it. To use this potential, plants, cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria evolved to absorb solar radiance and convert it into a chemically stable form by performing a process known as photosynthesis. Despite a wide variety of photosynthetic systems, the initial steps of photosynthesis are similar.
BACKGROUND: Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have an increased risk of developing epilepsy. Both ASD and epilepsy have been associated with increased levels of immune factors in the blood, including the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6). Mice lacking the synapsin 2 gene (Syn2 KO) exhibit ASD-like behavior and develop epileptic seizures. Their brains display neuroinflamma
During epileptic seizures, neuronal network activity is hyper synchronized whereby GABAergic parvalbumin-interneurons may have a key role. Previous studies have mostly utilized 4-aminopyridine to induce epileptiform discharges in brain slices from healthy animals. However, it is not clear if the seizure-triggering ability of parvalbumin-interneurons also holds true without the use of external conv
Significant collaborations with research partners in China are seen in many Western countries. With increasing geopolitical tensions governments, research institutions and individuals are increasingly called upon to address a proliferating array of risks and challenges associated with scientific collaboration with China. The situation is characterised by two parallel, intertwined processes. On the
Conformational changes and stability of interacting double-stranded DNA chains under high hydrostatic pressure in biological systems are striking topics of importance to study several biomolecular phenomena. For example, to unravel the physiological conditions at which life might occur and to ensure the right functionality of the biochemical processes into the cell under extreme thermodynamic cond
Widespread contamination of ecosystems with pesticides threatens non-target organisms. However, the extent to which life-history traits affect pesticide exposure and resulting risk in different landscape contexts remains poorly understood. We address this for bees across an agricultural land-use gradient based on pesticide assays of pollen and nectar collected by Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris
This chapter illuminates what nurses experience as central conflicts shaping their everyday/everynight work, and what forms of injustice they identify as arising from those circumstances. Through the concept of real utopia, we explore what forms of radical visions of care nurses harbour and express. A central argument is that the interviewed nurses suggest a new system of value - in which care con
Automated soil moisture systems are commonly used in precision agriculture. Using low-cost sensors, the spatial extension can be maximized, but the accuracy might be reduced. In this paper, we address the trade-off between cost and accuracy comparing low-cost and commercial soil moisture sensors. The analysis is based on the capacitive sensor SKU:SEN0193 tested under lab and field conditions. In a
