An important issue in simultaneous localisation and mapping is how to match and merge individual local maps into one global map. This is addressed within the field of robotics and is crucial for multi-robot SLAM. There are a number of different ways to solve this task depending on the representation of the map. To take advantage of matching and merging methods that allow for deformations of the lo
Svenska politiker har förälskat sig i Danmark. Det gäller åtminstone den danska kriminalpolitiken, som både under och efter valrörelsen har blivit ett slags riktmärke för hur Sverige ska lösa sina stora utmaningar med gängkriminalitet och gängvåld. Precis som våra kära svenska grannar gläds vi danskar åt beröm.
Amid growing polarisation in European societies, civil society elites, encompassing resource-rich, influential and often liberal-oriented civil society organisations (CSOs), are under increased attacks by conservative and progressive actors alike. This article aims to understand who challenges civil society elites, on what grounds, and with what means do they do so in the United Kingdom, by drawin
I rapporten analyseras inkomstskatte- och fastighetsbeskattningens betydelse för reinvesteringar i energibranschen. Bl.a. görs beräkningar av skatteuttagen i en jämförande studie med beskattningen av den svenska bolagssektorn. Vidare analyseras kopplingen mellan redovisning och beskattning och uppkomna skattekrediter.
Background: Obesity constitutes a risk factor for cognitive impairment. In rodent models, long-term exposure to obesogenic diets leads to hippocampal taurine accumulation. Since taurine has putative cyto-protective effects, hippocampal taurine accumulation in obese and diabetic models might constitute a counteracting response to metabolic stress. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that treatment
Intact adipose tissue function is essential to maintain glucose and lipid homeostasis. To study the impact of altered adipose tissue function on whole-body metabolism, diet-induced obesity in mice is frequently used as a model organism. In the current study, we have examined health-promoting effects of a lingonberry supplemented diet. We found C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with li
This article argues that Islamic authorities do not try to sustain a jurisdiction over Islamic divorce in Denmark. They respond to a juridical demand caused by the absence of Islamic legal institutions in Denmark, which I call the Islamic juridical vacuum. This vacuum entails that sharia is often defined locally in communities or families rather than by Islamic authorities, and when women are unab
Research on Muslim divorce practices in Europe often focuses exclusively on male Islamic authority, neglecting the role of women. This article compares the Islamic divorce practice of two female Islamic authorities with that of nineteen male Islamic authorities to demonstrate that women have important roles in relation to Islamic divorce. It also analyses how the two Danish female informants, Zayn
In the sanctuaries of 6th century Cyprus, a limited group of votive figures carry Egyptian-style dress, head gear, jewellery, and ornaments. This collection of lime-stone and bronze votaries is merely one category of several, within the island's material, which testify to Egyptian(-izing) preferences. The relation to similar material from the sanctuaries on the Phoenician coast remains to be estab
This paper analyses an empirical case study of a corporate social media platform, and suggests and elaborates the concept of corporate social media creep framed by the notion of imagined affordances. The corporate social media creep describes the gradual expansion and encroachment of corporate social media on work and private life beyond its supposed productive function and purpose. The corporate
Författaren behandlar myndigheternas föreskrifter och allmänna råd och beskriver hur de påverkar medborgarnas och invånarnas rättssäkerhet. Ett problem är att regler meddelas av myndighetsanställda och inte av politiker. Därmed blir det svårt, för att inte säga omöjligt, att utkräva ansvar. Ett annat problem är att mängden regler och allmänna råd lätt växer i omfattning. Då finns det risk för att
The technological evolution and widespread availability of wearables and handheld ECG devices capable of screening for atrial fibrillation (AF), and their promotion directly to consumers, has focused attention of health care professionals and patient organizations on consumer-led AF screening. In this Frontiers review, members of the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration provide a critical apprais
