In this paper we develop a method for measuring transparency as a factor of document similarities between the executive and operational branches of the Swedish Riksbank. We do this by usage of NLTK within the Python-framework. We also propose a ray of different methods for textual analysis, such that they are able to capture the elements of communication that we are interested in.

A new setup for versatile ion time-of-flight coincidence spectroscopy was built using a pre-existing negative ion time-of-flight spectrometer aligned with a short extension that may be used to detect photons, Auger electrons or positive ions. The extension was designed to be short to improve detection of photons, as they do not have a preferred direction for their emission, and high-momentum parti
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used to classify directly on bone scan images in two medical tasks: classifying anterior / posterior pose, and classifying bone scan hotspots as metastatic / non-metastatic in patients with prostate cancer and suspected metastatic disease.

Den svenska Natodebatten kommer och går och har gjort så under lång tid. Att debattörerna för och mot Nato har skilda åsikter i sakfrågan vet vi redan. Men på vilket sätt skiljer de sig vad gäller ordval när denna fråga debatteras? Hur yttrar sig den intertextuella kontexten?
