Popular Abstract in Swedish Fysiologiska och kliniska aspekter på förändrad kapillärpermeabilitet Graden av genomsläpplighet (permeabilitet) i de minsta blodkärlen (kapillärerna), där utbytet av näringsämnen och slaggprodukter sker, är avgörande för att kroppens celler skall fungera. I den svåraste fasen av sjukdomar såsom blodförgiftning (sepsis) och efter trauma är permeabiliteten ökad varvid plMicrovascular permeability is important for exchange of fluids and proteins in health and in disease. Permeability increases in critical illness, such as during sepsis/SIRS and after trauma, and may be affected by drugs. Increased permeability causes oedema and hypovolaemia. Hypovolaemia is treated with fluids, and their efficacy is determined by their intravascular retention, also influenced by t

In this paper we discuss the potential for commercial microfinance in China. Particular emphasis is put on securitization of microloans and on structured microfinance in a China context. Three particular factors that we believe could support a strong growth in Chinese structured microfinance are (i) the lack of currency risk, (ii) the scale advantages and (iii) the massive potential interest from

Computer supported gaming is an accepted methodology for the training of decision makers on several levels in crisis management. Commonly these tools are focused on two levels of training. One of them is training managers and leaders as if they had to do everything themselves, like training a general as a tank driver or a gunner, or a politician taking care of a car fire. The other level is aimed

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den nyligen utvecklade microarray-tekniken gör det möjligt att mäta mängden av mRNA för tusentals gener samtidigt. För att tolka dessa data krävs statistiska metoder och denna avhandling behandlar tre sådana. Den första metoden är utvecklad för att skilja ut de gener vars mRNAmängd är olika stor i olika vävnadstyper. Den andra metoden är avsedd för att analysera och berIn this thesis, three aspects of gene expression data analysis are discussed: Differential gene expression is addressed by a probabilistic method. Gene annotation enrichment analysis is discussed in the context of multiple hypothesis testing and the choice of null hypothesis. The possibility of inferring the activity of cellular signaling pathways from microarray data is explored. The methods deve

Sentiment analysis, or opinion mining, is the process of extracting sentiment from documents or sentences, where the expressed sentiment is typically categorized as positive, negative, or neutral. Many different techniques have been proposed. In this paper, we report the reimplementation of nine algorithms and their evaluation across four corpora to assess the sentiment at the sentence level. We e

This licentiate thesis examines the development of internationalization of production in Kazakhstan and its economic implications over the period 1991-2010. The main objectives of the thesis are to investigate the role of foreign investment and TNCs in the economic growth of Kazakhstan since its independence in 1991 and onward, to explore the motives that foreign enterprises have for investing in

This paper presents a fast, pipelined and scalable hardware architecture for inverting complex valued matrices. The matrix inversion algorithm involves, a QR-factorization based on the squared Givens rotations algorithm, the application of a recurrence algorithm for inversion of an upper triangular matrix R, and a matrix multiplication of R-1 with Q. We show that traditional triangular array archi

The number of electrically driven loads in a modern vehicle is constantly increasing. Many loads that former were mechanically driven will in the future be driven by electricity. This implies that a number of electronic systems have to be packed together in the limited space in a vehicle. When different electronic systems are placed close to each other, there is always a risk for electromagnetic i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Olika arter av stora växtätare lever på platser spridda över nästan hela jordklotet. På många av dessa platser samlar vi människor data för att kunna skatta storleken på deras populationer. Anledningen till att detta görs varierar från plats till plats, det kan till exempel vara för att djuren är utrotningshotade, för att kunna bedriva nöjesjakt eller för att begränsa aLarge herbivores are monitored for various reasons in many areas around the world. Data from such monitoring can be of varying degree of detail and extent. Several studies have shown that we need extensive amounts of data with a high degree of detail to be able to understand anything from it. Nevertheless, data in the less detailed form of annual censuses of large herbivore densities and weather i
