Attitudes related to technology for active and healthy aging in a national multigenerational survey
Research is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was condu
Tillgänglighet, användbarhet och universell utformning
När ett barn föds är det mycket i samhället som det ännu inte har träffat på. Ja, faktiskt det mesta. Vem barnet blir och vilka vägar det väljer genom livet kommer att påverkas av många faktorer, däribland utformningen av alla de produkter och miljöer det över tid möter och interagerar med. I detta kapitel ägnar vi oss åt fysiska aspekter av interaktionen mellan individ och samhälle, med fokus på
Towards fault adaptive routing in metasurface controller networks
HyperSurfaces (HSFs) comprise structurally reconfigurable metasurfaces whose electromagnetic properties can be changed via a software interface, using an embed- ded miniaturized network of controllers, enabling novel capabilities in wireless communications, including 5G applications. Resource constraints associated with a hardware testbed of this breakthrough technology, currently under developmen
A field test of computer-vision-based gaze estimation in psychology
Computer-vision-based gaze estimation refers to techniques that estimate gaze direction directly from video recordings of the eyes or face without the need for an eye tracker. Although many such methods exist, their validation is often found in the technical literature (e.g., computer science conference papers). We aimed to (1) identify which computer-vision-based gaze estimation methods are usabl
”Ni har säkert råd att bjuda på buffé” -Om dramatiseringen av ekonomisk kultur på bolagsstämmor
Alexander Paulsson, Henrik Rahm, Niklas Sandell och Peter Svensson harstuderat bolagsstämman som ett kulturfenomen. Denna artikel bygger påden nyligen publicerade boken ”Bolagsstämman – ritualer, kultur, normeroch språk” i vilken börsnoterade företags bolagsstämmor tolkas sombetydelsefulla ekonomiska ritualer.
Dubbla budskap och Muslimska Brödraskapet i Sverige : Replik på Frédéric Brusis recension
In the academic discussion about the Muslim Brotherhood, MB in Sweden, there is consensus that the Islamic Association in Sweden, IFiS is inspired by MB but the organizational relationship between the organizations has not been researched before. Holy White Lies is an English translation of the original Arabic book al-Kedhb al-Abyad al-Muqaddas. Both books were published in Cairo 2018. The book co
Återanvändning av renat avloppsvatten : Potential efter rening med en membranbioreaktor följt av granulerat aktivt kol
Det renade avloppsvattnet från en anläggning med en membranbioreaktor och granulerat aktivt kol nådde kraven för färdigt dricksvatten för metaller, men inte för bakterier. Vattnet bedömdes ha tillräcklig kvalitet för bevattning och som råvatten för dricksvattenberedning. Koncentrationerna av mikroföroreningar var i samma storleksordning som i svenska dricksvattentäkter, och därmed i nivå med vad vThe treated wastewater from a full scale MBR and GAC reached drinking water quality regarding metals, but not bacteria. The water quality is however assessed as sufficient for irrigation or as a source water for drinking water production, based on the parameters analyzed in the project. The concentrations of organic micro pollutants were similar to the ones measured in Swedish drinking water sourc
Identification of a weight loss-associated causal eQTL in MTIF3 and the effects of MTIF3 deficiency on human adipocyte function
Genetic variation at the MTIF3 (Mitochondrial Translational Initiation Factor 3) locus has been robustly associated with obesity in humans, but the functional basis behind this association is not known. Here, we applied luciferase reporter assay to map potential functional variants in the haplotype block tagged by rs1885988 and used CRISPR-Cas9 to edit the potential functional variants to confirm
The Multi-view Geometry of Parallel Cylinders
In this paper we study structure from motion problems for parallel cylinders. Using sparse keypoint correspondences is an efficient (and standard) way to solve the structure from motion problem. However, point features are sometimes unavailable and they can be unstable over time and viewing conditions. Instead, we propose a framework based on silhouettes of quadric surfaces, with special emphasis In this paper we study structure from motion problems for parallel cylinders.

New aspects of allergic mechanisms and innate immunity in asthma. Alarmins as upstream mediators of asthma inflammation.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease affecting over 300 million individuals worldwide. Both respiratory viral infections and aeroallergens have been identified as important risk factors for asthma. Rhinovirus (RV) infection has been recognized as a major cause of asthma exacerbations, and current research indicates that RV and allergens may have a synergistic effect, resulting in a higher
Managing barriers to sustainable urban freight systems : exploring the city’s influence on a transition
Urban freight logistics is a growing phenomenon in cities and contributes to the wealth of citizens and businesses in urban areas. But it also has negative side effects such as emissions, congestion, and accidents, which eradicate some of their benefits for society. The current development of urban freight logistic activities is unsustainable. A more sustainable path of development is needed but i
Saliva: a cell suspension of epithelial cells harboring the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and the growth factor EGF
Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health through its physical and chemical properties that provide various protective functions. One of its essential components is the human host defense peptide LL-37, which is produced by immune cells and epithelial cells, and participates in the first line of defense against pathogens. LL-37 is a potent antimicrobial agent against both gram-positiv
From Exclusion to Extremism : The Role of Significance Loss and Identity in the Radicalization Process
Under de senaste åren har det skett en förskjutning i forskningen från att försöka förstå vem som löper risk att bli radikaliserad, till att undersöka vad som gör att vissa individer har större benägenhet att bli radikaliserad. Känslor av exkludering, diskriminering och marginalisering har tidigare kopplats till extremistiska handlingar. Trots det finns det få empiriska studier som utforskar sambaThe present thesis aims to examine the causal role of social exclusion within theradicalization process and further to explore moderating and mediating factors. In recent years there has been a move away from trying to understand who is at risk of becoming an extremist, to exploring what makes someone at risk. Feelings of exclusion, discrimination and marginalization have all been linked to partic
The small and large intestine contain related mesenchymal subsets that derive from embryonic Gli1 + precursors.
The intestinal lamina propria contains a diverse network of fibroblasts that provide key support functions to cells within their local environment. Despite this, our understanding of the diversity, location and ontogeny of fibroblasts within and along the length of the intestine remains incomplete. Here we show that the small and large intestinal lamina propria contain similar fibroblast subsets t

Gait Biomechanics While Walking Down an Incline After Exhaustion
This gait biomechanics study investigated stride length (SL), stride duration (SDN), the peak values of ground reaction forces (GRFspeak), required coefficient of friction (RCOFpeak), leg joints’ angles (anglepeak), angular velocity (angvelx.peak), angular acceleration (angaccx.peak), minimum angle (anglemin.) of the foot, and muscles’ electromyography (EMG) during the stance phase (SP) of the dom
Consumers’ willingness to disclose their personal data in e-commerce: A reciprocity-based social exchange perspective
While personal data is invaluable to firms, the drivers of e-commerce customers' willingness to disclose their personal data remain tenuous. Using social exchange theory, we develop a model that explores the impact of consumers' perceived benefit, and relative power, on store trust, in turn driving their willingness to disclose their personal data. We collected our empirical data using a represent
