We present a computational framework to simultaneously perform image acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis in the context of open-source microscopy automation. The setup features multiple computer units intersecting software with hardware devices and achieves automation using python scripts. In practice, script files are executed in the acquisition computer and can perform any experiment by mo

This presentation discusses ways in which veganism can be conceptualized as political participation. What are the political aspects of the increasingly popular practice, which by some is understood as a personal dietary choice, by others a conscious lifestyle, and by still others a part of a broader emancipatory project of multispecies justice? The presentation argues that the rising vegan movemen

Om frågelistan LUF 236 Cykling

Frågelistor kan ha ha olika utgångspunkter, syften och användningsområden. Listan LUF 263 Tåg och järnvägar initierades i samband med arbetet med att strukturera ett forskningsprojekt. Svaren kom att få stor betydelse för projektets inriktning och utformning. Samtidigt kom de att användas i arbetet med en museiutställning, något som inte var planerat när listan formulerades. När, var och hur en fr

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
