Mat och ätande väcker känslor till liv, det handlar om njutning och avsmak, men också om oro, frustration och glädje. Floran av idéer, trender och råd om mat och måltider tycks ständigt växa. I hushåll med yngre barn är normer kring mat och ätande särskilt starka och involverar i sin tur specifik kunskap om hur den ”riktiga” måltiden görs. I den här artikeln handlar det inte om att kritiskt gransk

”Vad ska vi äta ikväll?” är en välbekant fråga för många. Mitt avhandlingsarbete tar sin utgångspunkt i hur småbarnsfamiljer (vår definition inkluderar familjer med barn upp till 8 år) förhåller sig till och får ihop vardagen när det kommer till mat, måltider och inköp. Att varje dag hinna med att tillaga en ordentlig måltid som ska smaka familjens alla medlemmar innebär inte enbart att utföra arb

Graph cuts methods are at the core of many state-of-the-art algorithms in computer vision due to their efficiency in computing globally optimal solutions. In this paper, we solve the maximum flow/minimum cut problem in parallel by splitting the graph into multiple parts and hence, further increase the computational efficacy of graph cuts. Optimality of the solution is guaranteed by dual decomposit

Twelve children with mild/moderate hearing impairment (HI) and 12 children with specific language impairment (SLI), 5 - 9 years old, were assessed in order to compare novel word learning and to study cognitive and linguistic predictors for word learning. There was no significant difference on novel word learning between the groups. The strongest predictor for novel word learning was a lexical meas

Length and area regularization are commonplace for inverse problems today. It has however turned out to be much more difficult to incorporate a curvature prior. In this paper we propose two improvements to a recently proposed framework based on global optimization. The mesh geometry is analyzed both from a theoretical and experimental viewpoint and hexagonal meshes are shown to be superior. Our se

Internet usage is evolving, from the traditional WWW usage (i.e. downloading web pages), to triple-play usage where households may have all their communication services (telephony, data, TV) through their broadband access connection. The challenge is to design IP access networks so that they can deliver services with strict QoS demands such as IPTV at the same time as having capacity for (from the

This contribution is a partial report from a study of the identification accuracy and realism in the confidence judgments of the correctness in the identification reports in two kinds of target-present voice lineup. 24 men and 54 women were asked to identify a voice that they had heard previously in a dialogue context that simulated the planning of a burglary by two males 22 and 27 years old. The

We consider the problem of L2-optimal triangulation from three separate views. Triangulation is an important part of numerous computer vision systems. Under gaussian noise, minimizing the L2 norm of the reprojection error gives a statistically optimal estimate. This has been solved for two views. However, for three or more views, it is not clear how this should be done. A previously proposed, but

Riksrevisionens första tio år har präglats av turbulens. En fråga som har vållat särskild debatt är inskränkningarna av effektivitetsrevisorns utrymme för självständigt utövande av det professionella omdömet. Detta kapitel ägnas åt den frågan. Det baseras på tio års nära forskning om Riksrevisionen. När myndigheten bildades valde riksrevisorerna att öka sitt eget inflytande över granskningarna, sa
