Nationalmuseum/Royal Museum, Stockholm : Connecting North and South

Boken behandlar de första offentliga konstmuseernas utveckling i Europa under 1700- och 1800-talen och den standard de satte för alla efterföljande konstmuseer.This multiauthor book discusses the evolution of the first public museums of art throughout Europe in the eighteenth and early ninetheenth centuries and the standards these early museums set for all subsequent institutions of their kind.

Healthcare, health and inequality in health in the Nordic countries

All five Nordic countries emphasize equal and easy access to healthcare, assuming that increased access to healthcare leads to increased health. It is the purpose of the present study to explore to which extent the populations of these countries have reached good health and a high degree of socio-economic equality in health. Each of the five countries has established extensive public health progra

Generating FMUs for the Feature-Based Language Bloqqi

In this paper, we describe how we generate Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) for the automation block language Bloqqi. This allows Bloqqi control programs to be tested with simulations of the physical processes they control. The physical process can be specified in any tool that supports the Functional Mockup-Interface (FMI) standard. For example, we have successfully run Bloqqi programs together wi

A Time-Warping Transformation for Time-Optimal Movement in Differentially Flat Systems

The notion of warping the rate of time is explored in the context of differentially flat systems to enable time-optimal motion by convex optimisation. Examples are given with systems configured on the special Euclidean groups SE(2) and SE(3), with and without differential constraints. The proposed method complements classical methods of motion planning, may be used in a real-time context with guar

Evaluation of the Discrete Time Feedback Particle Filter for IMU-Driven Systems Configured on SE(2)

This paper evaluates the utility of the feedback particle filter (FPF) for state estimation of SE(2)-configured dynamics in a real-time context. The filter is implemented in discrete time to fuse gyroscopic-and accelerometer measurements with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and camera measurements. With this state information, the FPF is compared to other common filters in terms of the estimate mean square e

On the Use of Mpc Amplitude Information in Radio Signal Based Slam

In this paper we present a Bayesian framework for utilizing the amplitude information of multipath components (MPCs) in radio-signal-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The developed algorithm exploits the complex amplitudes of MPC parameters that are provided by the radio channel parameter estimator. With this information, the algorithm can adapt the probabilities of detecting fea

Channel Hardening in Massive MIMO-A Measurement Based Analysis

Wireless-controlled robots, cars and other critical applications are in need of technologies that offer high reliability and low latency. Massive MIMO, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, is a key technology for the upcoming 5G systems and is one part of the solution to increase the reliability of wireless systems. More specifically, when increasing the number of base station antennas in a massive MIM

A Safe Regression Test Selection Technique for Modelica

Running regression tests for Modelica models usually takes a long time. This paper presents a safe regression test selection technique for Modelica based on static analysis. The technique tracks dependencies between classes to compute which tests that need to be run given a change. The dependency rules have been verified using mutation testing. The technique has been evaluated on the Modelica Stan

Risk of metabolic disorders in childless men : A population-based cohort study

Objective To study whether male childlessness is associated with an increased risk of metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes. Design A population-based cohort study. Setting Not applicable. Participants 2572 men from the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort. Interventions None. Main outcome measures From cross-sectional analyses, main outcome mea

A swedish nationwide adoption study of the heritability of heart failure

IMPORTANCE Heart failure (HF) aggregates in families, but the heritability of HF has not been determined. Discerning the genetic and environmental contributions to HF risk is important to further helping to identify individuals at risk. Adoption studies may establish the genetic contribution to HF. OBJECTIVE This nationwide adoption study aimed to determine the heritability of HF. DESIGN, SETTING,

A longitudinal analysis of the relationships of physical activity and body fat with nerve growth factor and brain-derived neural factor in children

Background: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neural factor (BDNF) are important for brain function and detectable in the blood. This study explored the longitudinal associations of physical activity and body fat with serum NGF and BDNF in children. Methods: Two waves of measurements were performed 2 years apart in 8- to 11-year-old children, including physical activity using the ActiGra

Moving target PF4 directs HIT responses

In this issue of Blood, Dai et al demonstrate a dynamic interchange of cell surface-bound platelet factor 4 (PF4) among hematopoietic and vascular cells that may limit the thrombocytopenia and promote prothrombotic processes in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).

Teaching design for additive manufacturing through problem-based learning

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a technology that, while removing many of the constraints of traditional manufacturing, imposes some new constraints of its own. Because of this, engineers and designers need to be taught a new set of skills in design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) in order to become competent in designing parts that maximize the benefits offered by AM. Around the world, universit

Unequal Returns: Using the Atkinson Index to Measure Financial Risk

We apply the Atkinson (1970) inequality index to time series of asset returns to offer a novel measure of financial risk consistent with expected-utility theory. This measure is converted to a certainty-equivalent return serving as a performance measure. We extend the Atkinson index to HARA utility and derive closed-form solutions to our measures for a number of preference-return combinations. Fur
