This thesis presents the development of a computer vision based robotic system for flexible sample switching at the European Spallation Source (ESS). At ESS, samples will be placed in the neutron beam by the instruments. These environments will be exposed to radiation, making direct access to the samples difficult for personnel. To maximize scientific output, it is also desirable to minimize the d

Uncovering customer insights (CI) is indispensable for contemporary marketing strategies. The widespread availability of user-generated content (UGC) presents a unique opportunity for firms to gain a nuanced understanding of their customers. However, the size and complexity of UGC datasets pose significant challenges for traditional market research methods, limiting their effectiveness in this con

Den här boken handlar om hur växter, trädgårdar och trädgårdshantverk i vår tid görs till kulturarv och tar plats på marknader av olika slag. Här pågår ett ständigt prövande av vad som i olika avseenden betraktas som vitalt nog, appellerar till aktuella trender, har tillräckligt intresseväckande namn eller på annat sätt är gångbart. Utifrån en rad exempel på kulturarvsträdgårdar och kulturarvsväxt

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor har en central roll i den palliativa vården av barn med obotlig cancer vilket ställer krav på en god omvårdnad. Samtidigt känner sjuksköterskor sig oförberedda inför den komplexa uppgiften. Syfte: Belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av palliativ vård av barn med obotlig cancer. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie inkluderande tio kvalitativa studier som sammanställ

Increased concern was raised globally at the outbreak of COVID-19 that victims of domestic violence would be even more at risk when isolated with a violent partner and out of reach of support due to restrictions. Swedish staff in violence against women services prepared for increased calls for help. Instead, a worrying silence arose in a time and place of high uncertainty. This paper analyses the

The present study investigates the intersection of temporal, modal, and aspectual values conveyed through the etymological use of the imperfect subjunctive’s -ra form in the Spanish language. This usage can be seen in journalistic, literary, or essayistic texts, and is expressed through forms such as: “He who was a minister for three years has indicated that...”. The study analyzes this usage in a

This essay focuses on the reception of Pauline ideas in the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies, commonly dated to the early fourth century. At first, the claim that the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies contain Pauline ideas may seem surprising, since the Homilies are commonly considered “Jewish Christian” and thus anti-Pauline. However, new readings of Paul generated by the “Paul within Judaism” perspective, al

BackgroundPhoton-counting computed tomography (PCCT) enables new ways of image reconstruction, e.g. material decomposition and creation of virtual non-contrast (VNC) series with higher resolution and lower radiation dose than standard computed tomography (CT). Clinical experiences of this are limited.PurposeTo compare true non-contrast (TNC) series with VNC series derived from non-enhanced (VNCu),

The creation of new words or expressions, known as neologisms, plays a crucial role in the evolution of language, reflecting societal changes, technological advancements, and cultural shifts. Their presence has become even more prominent in recent years due to the effects of globalization and the widespread influence of the English language. This thesis aims to investigate recent neologisms in Mod

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningIntroduktionI dagens digitala era har sociala medier och internet blivit centrala plattformar för nyhetsförmedling och offentlig debatt. Denna utveckling har främjat snabbare informationsspridning och ökat engagemang i samhällsfrågor. Samtidigt har det också medfört en ökning av negativa påtryckningar i form av trakasserier, hat och allmänt ogillande, särskilt rikIntegrating socio-legal analysis and working life science, this compilation thesis aims to enhance the understanding of how the evolving digital landscape—particularly the rise of online harassment—influences journalism and its potential to foster healthy public discourse. Additionally, the thesis seeks to advance the field of socio-legal studies by examining the interplay between digital transfor

Recent research suggests that to help their preferred coalition win an election, voters are willing to vote for a political party other than their preferred choice. In this field, voting for smaller parties under proportional representation is an under-studied feature. A crucial factor to estimate the chances for smaller parties is polls. In this study, we analyze the influence of opinion polls on

Tungsten (W) and its alloys exhibit impressive properties for use in structural components of nuclear fusion reactors. However, impurity induced embrittlement of W grain boundaries (GBs) is a major concern for reactor applications, and necessitates the investigation of the impact of the impurities on the fracture behaviour of the GBs. This work comprises four papers (I-IV) that deal with atomistic

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin cancer type and affected individuals are known to be at risk of developing multiple consecutive tumours. Research into BCC multiplicity has, thus far, been challenging, due to a lack of national registration. This registry-based cohort study aimed to analyse the occurrence of multiple BCCs in Sweden, and risk factors for subsequent primary BCCs. Data reg

IMPORTANCE: An accurate blood test for Alzheimer disease (AD) could streamline the diagnostic workup and treatment of AD.OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate a clinically available AD blood test in primary care and secondary care using predefined biomarker cutoff values.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: There were 1213 patients undergoing clinical evaluation due to cognitive symptoms who were exa
