The Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE) is a fundamental tool for the investigation of kinematic aspects of a wide range of systems. The Plastino-Plastino Equation (PPE) is the correct generalization describing the kinematic evolution of complex systems consistent with q-statistics. In the present work, we use this particular problem to compare the results obtained with the FPE and the PPE, and discuss t

I den här undersökningen genomförs en analys av vetenskaplig litteratur i syfte att finna ett svar på en fråga nämligen om hur kommunikation påverkar motivation för lärande. Under undersökningens gång analyseras vetenskaplig experimentell forskning där människans motivationssfär betraktas utifrån ett sociokulturellt perspektiv. Den här undersökningens resultat visar att emotionella aspekter har en

This paper aims to contribute to the increasing popularity of machine learning in sports by predicting the winner in a tennis match using classification methods. The dataset used in this study spans a 10-year period and includes ATP singles matches from 2012 to 2022, with up to 49 explanatory variables. Six regression-based models were constructed and tested, all of which achieved an accuracy of a

The Swedish energy market is becoming more and more sustainable, with an increasing volume and number of diversified energy sources being continuously added to the mix. To stabilize the grid frequency, auctions are held to offer energy providers incentives to produce or consume energy on short notice. This paper is applying different multivariate time series models and their ensemble to find relia

Systematic evaluations are vital to support learning and enhance performance in a crisis response. There are quantitative methods available today for evaluating crisis response management (CRM), but there are limiting factors negatively affecting their potential; They often involve techniques difficult to implement in real events, lack reliability testing, provide outcomes questionable from a lear

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been a good model system to understand the functional role of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) in cancer progression. More recently, an oxidized form of 5-mC, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) has gained lot of attention as a regulatory epigenetic modification with prognostic and diagnostic implications for several cancers. However, there is no global study

Ficus trees are adapted to diverse environments and have some of the highest rates of photosynthesis among trees. Ficus leaves can deposit one or more of the three major mineral types found in leaves: amorphous calcium carbonate cystoliths, calcium oxalates, and silica phytoliths. In order to better understand the functions of these minerals and the control that the leaf exerts over mineral deposi

BackgroundOver the last decades, many strategies to procure and improve xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been reported. This includes the introduction of efficient xylose-assimilating enzymes, the improvement of xylose transport, or the alteration of the sugar signaling response. However, different strain backgrounds are often used, making it difficult to determine if the findin

Genom att förbjuda politiska manifestationer riktar Chalmers en rejäl bredsida mot principen om akademisk frihet, anser historikern Björn Lundberg.

Background: Emergency department (ED) crowding is a serious problem worldwide causing decreased quality of care. It is reasonable to assume that the negative effects of crowding are at least partially due to high staff workload, but previous crowding metrics based on high workload have not been generalisable to Swedish EDs and have not been associated with increased mortality, in contrast to, e.g.

Många arbetsgivare känner inte till att de redan idag använder sig av artificiell intelligens, AI, eller annat automatiserat beslutsfattande. Det visar den rapport om AI och risker för diskriminering i arbetslivet som Diskrimineringsombudsmannen, DO, publicerar idag. Att arbetsgivare har denna kunskap är avgörande för att arbeta förebyggande för att motverka diskriminering vid tillämpning av tekni

Purpose: Avian haemosporidians are widespread parasites, occurring in many bird families and causing pathologies ranging from rather benign infections to highly virulent diseases. The state of knowledge about lineage-specific intensities of haemosporidian infection (i.e., parasitaemia) is mainly based on infection experiments conducted under laboratory conditions. The levels and range of parasitae

Security attacks on sensor data can deceive a control system and force the physical plant to reach an unwanted and potentially dangerous state. Therefore, attack detection mechanisms are employed in cyber-physical control systems to detect ongoing attacks, the most prominent one being a threshold-based anomaly detection method called CUSUM. Literature defines the maximum impact of stealth attacks

Exposure to natural environments is thought to benefit mental and physical health. A better understanding of the interplay between the individual and the environment in relation to public health is imperative in light of the joint biodiversity, climate, and health crises. This study aimed to 1) identify Body Mass Index (BMI) trajectories in the Scania Public Health Cohort (SPHC), 2) characterise t

Föreliggande rapport behandlar korttidsbärförmåga hos träbalkar med rätvinklig urtagning vid upplag och utan förstärkning. I rapporten redovisas en begränsad litteraturöversikt, provning av en rad materialegenskaper och ett mindre antal balkar, härledning av ett beräkningssamband, samt utvärdering och sammanställning av resultat.Litteraturöversikten visar att de formler som anges i dimensionerings

This thesis examines what drives import price inflation in the EU by decomposing it into supply and demand driven inflation. The decomposition is done by using product level import data retrieved from Eurostat. The paper examines the period from 2019-01 to 2023-01 which captures events such as the Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. To classify the product as demand or supply driven, two methods are

Background: The lithotomy position is one of the four most common positions during surgical procedures. This position is very vulnerable for the patient and can lead to several different types of complications. To ensure a safe positioning the preoperative assessment and preparations requires an OR nurse’s specialist competence. The aim: The aim was to examine if OR nurses’ years of experience aff
