Investigating Ancient Agricultural Field Systems In Sweden From Airborne Lidar Data By Using Convolutional Neural Network

Today, the advances in airborne LIDAR technology provide high-resolution datasets that allow specialists to detect archaeological features hidden under wooded areas more efficiently. Still, the complexity and large scale of these datasets require automated analysis. In this respect, artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis has recently created an alternative approach for interpreting remote sen

“Your daughter is as good as a boy” - Learning critical theory and fundamental values through J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace in English-learning classrooms in Sweden

Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi

Characterizing preferential transport during flood irrigation of a heavy clay soil using the dye vitasyn blau

Common irrigation procedures in many parts of the world involve flood irrigation. Observations during recent years have, however, indicated that preferential flow may be an important phenomenon that could affect the outcome of both irrigation and fertilizer application for this irrigation type. To analyze and visualize solute transport by preferential flow mechanisms, field experiments were carrie

Nonlinear dynamics and chaos in hydrology

During the last two decades, applications of nonlinear dynamic and chaos theories to hydrologic systems and processes have been on the rise. Early applications of these theories focused mainly on the investigation and prediction of chaos in rainfall and river flow dynamics. Subsequent years witnessed their applications for other purposes (e.g. data disaggregation, missing data estimation, reconstr

Advanced Ovarian Cancer. A multimodal diagnostic approach to predict outcome

Primary debulking surgery (PDS) followed by platinum-based postoperative chemotherapy isthe standard of care for advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). Absence of macroscopic residualdisease after debulking surgery is the strongest prognostic factor achieved by surgery.

The immunomodulatory role of CALRETICULIN in acute myeloid leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common and deadliest form of blood cancer in adults, accounting for over 80% of acute leukemic diagnoses. Despite the introduction of new targeted therapies, survival rate remains low in adults, and new therapeutic approaches are needed. In a previous CRISPR screen performed by the Järås group, CALRETICULIN was identified as a regulator of human leuc

Evaluating dendritic cell reprogramming in patient-derived cancer cells and cancer organoids

Immunotherapy utilizes the patient’s own immune system for the treatment of cancer. Due to exceptional antigen-presentation capacity Dendritic Cells (DCs) have great potential for cancer immunotherapy. Using direct cellular reprogramming our group has identified a combination of transcription factors, PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3 that reprograms mouse and human fibroblasts and a range of cancer cell line

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in Higher Education: A Case Study in LTH

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is considered an approach to include all students in the university. UDL is based on three main principles providing multiple means of Engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression. It is relevant for teachers and departments to focus on more flexibility for students to get the required information, expressing their th

Through a lens of peace education, this paper analyzes the discourse on youth agency in the context of the largest youth mov

Acceptance of AI technology for lung cancer screening diagnosis: Unpacking the factors affecting the radiologists’ acceptance of AI

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Much benefit can be found in national screening programs to diagnose cancer early and reduce mortality and such is about to be introduced in Germany. However, the process of screening diagnosis is very time-intensive for radiologists and the workload is not feasible without further support. Artificial Intelligence was assessed to be able to supp
