Tidigare forskning har pekat på ökad instrumentalisering i regional kulturpolitik i Sverige efter Kultursamverkansmodellens införande. Denna studie visar på förändringar i Region Skånes kulturpolitiska argumentation som tvärtom innebär förstärkning av konstens och kulturens egenvärde, och vikten av utrymme för konstnärligt utvecklingsarbete. Den visar också på att Region Skåne provar nya sätt att
Recent advances in stroke treatment have provided effective tools to successfully treat ischemic stroke, but still a majority of patients are not treated due to late arrival to hospital. With modern stroke treatment, earlier arrival would greatly improve the overall treatment results. This prospective study was performed to asses the capability of bilateral accelerometers worn in bracelets 24/7 to
In this paper we present a novel algorithm for onboard radial distortion correction for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), that runs in real-time. This approach makes calibration procedures redundant, thus allowing for exchange of optics extemporaneously. By utilizing the IMU data, the cameras can be aligned with the gravity direction. This allows us
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, which is a non-invasive imaging technique, is one of the most common cardiological examinations performed today, and is used for diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Currently the analysis is performed visually by physicians, but this is both a very time consuming and a subjective approach. These are two of the motivations for why an automatic tool to support th
In this paper we consider a collection of relative pose problems which arise naturally in applications for visual indoor navigation using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We focus on cases where additional information from an onboard IMU is available and thus provides a partial extrinsic calibration through the gravitational vector. The solvers are designed for a partially calibrated camera, for a
For diagnosis and risk assessment in patients with stable ischemic heart disease, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is one of the most common cardiological examinations performed today. There are however many motivations for why an artificial intelligence algorithm would provide useful input to this task. For example to reduce the subjectiveness and save time for the nuclear medicine physicians wo
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are associated with conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their predictive value for later end-points has been less evaluated with inconsistent results.OBJECTIVE: We investigated potential relationships between CSF amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ42), phosphorylated tau (P-tau), and total tau (T-tau) with time to nursing home p
BACKGROUND: With a growing elderly population worldwide, the prevalence of dementia is rapidly increasing. Studies from high income countries have shown that belonging to a minority ethnic group increases the risk of health disadvantages.OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present registry-based study was to identify potential differences in diagnostics, treatment, and care of individuals with dementia focu
Objectives: To analyse the living conditions and social outcomes (housing, engagement in employment or higher education, access to personal assistance and having a partner) in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) relative to their age, sex, communication ability, and motor skills. Methods: Cross-sectional registry-based study of 1,888 adults (1,030 males/858 females) with CP in the Swedish CP follow-up
Background: There is an increased risk of suicidality in gambling disorder (GD) and economic hardship is common in the population. Economic hardship itself is a risk factor for suicidality. This study aims to explore the risk of intentional self-harm in GD utilizing social welfare payment (SWP) as a proxy for economic hardship and exploring how economic hardship, gender, criminality, socioeconomic
OBJECTIVE: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is characterized by excessive production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) due to parathyroid adenomas while uremic secondary HPT (sHPT) is caused by parathyroid hyperplasia in response to renal failure. Active vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)), with the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is involved in regulation of the calcium homeostasis tog
BACKGROUND: Sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) occurs separately and in several hereditary disorders including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Irradiation to the neck, female gender, and age are well-identified risk factors that predispose to pHPT. The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 gene is the most commonly deranged gene in parathyroid adenomas and contains several polymorphism
OBJECTIVE: Glial cells missing (Gcm) was first identified as a binary switch between neuronal and glial determination in Drosophila. Two homologues of Drosophila Gcm have been identified in mice and humans, namely Gcm1 and Gcm2. Mouse Gcm2 is restricted to parathyroid tissues and Gcm2 was recently identified as a master regulatory gene of parathyroid gland development as Gcm2 knockout mice lack pa
BACKGROUND: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 1p is a common abnormality in both parathyroid tumors and pheochromocytomas. The recently characterized tumor suppressor gene RIZ1, located at 1p36, has emerged as a putative candidate to be involved in endocrine tumorigenesis.MATERIAL: Presence of allelic loss, promoter hypermethylation, and mutational aberrations of the RIZ1 gene were invest
What roles are military institutions expected to play in today's rapidly changing security environment? How are they supposed to interact with the society they are tasked to protect? These questions have been posed by classical military sociologists as well as by a newer generation of scholars. Yet so far, a comprehensive mapping of the military's potential roles in contemporary society is missing
