By using Sartre’s idea of the stickiness of matter and Young’s concept of ascribed identities, benevolence is also being studied as something that turns into internalized self-

Medical Transillumination Imaging Using Short-pulse Diode-lasers

The recently introduced time-resolved technique for enhanced medical transillumination imaging has been demonstrated for the important case of a diode laser transmitter. This type of gated-viewing technique utilizes early received light only to reject multiply scattered, delayed light, normally blurring the image. Human breast-cancer detection is demonstrated in vitro, and the observations are exp

Optimization Methods for Large Scale Combinatorial Problems and Bijectivity Constrained Image Deformations

This thesis treats two separate but connected themes. This affiliation originates in optimization being the common choice of method for solving most of the occurring challenges. The first theme of the thesis is image segmentation. This is usually defined as the task of distinguishing objects from background in unseen images. This visual grouping process is typically based on low-level cues suc

BackgroundSocial function is a key aspect of health‐related quality of life after solid organ transplantation (SOT). The focus of this study was to report how solid organ‐transplanted patients change their social function after transplantation.AimTo investigate the main concerns associated with social function after SOT and how solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) deal with these concerns.Met

Fatigue among older people with pain--a neglected problem?

The frequency of fatigue among older people (both with and without chronic pain) and its major impact on daily life indicate the urgent need for further research about fatigue, the mechanisms behind it, as well as interventions to alleviate it.
