We investigate the role of visuospatial environmental cues on driver (in)attention in everyday naturalistic driving situations. We develop a cognitive model of visuospatial complexity incorporating two critical aspects influencing visual (in)attention: (1) multimodal interaction mechanisms such as gesture, joint attention amongst roadside stakeholders (e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, drivers); and (2)

I december 2023 dömde Patent- och marknadsöverdomstolen (PMÖD) i det så kallade Betssonmålet, där ett avtal mellan en spelberoende privatperson, P.L., och spelbolaget Betsson ogiltigförklarades med stöd av 33 § avtalslagen. Domen har skakat om spelbranschen och väcker frågor kring hur ondtros­kravet och termerna tro och heder ska tolkas i dagens digitala samhälle. Med utgångspunkt i svensk och dan

Research questionDo pregnancies with corpus luteum show different maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of the scavenger proteins haemopexin and α1-microglobulin compared with pregnancies without corpus luteum in preeclampsia?DesignCase-control study of 160 singleton pregnancies: 54 naturally conceived, 50 by IVF after fresh embryo transfer or frozen embryo transfer (FET) in natural cycle (pres

Spatial (memory) update strategies depend on situational factors, such as availability of external information, familiarity with the environment, and cognitive demand. Of key interest to this research is the multimodal integration of environmental and individual characteristics in visuospatial update and reorientation in situations of extensive (embodied) rotational locomotion in naturalistic cond

We position recent and emerging research in cognitive vision and perception addressing three key questions: (1) What kind of relational abstraction mechanisms are needed to perform (explainable) grounded inference --e.g., question-answering, qualitative generalisation, hypothetical reasoning-- relevant to embodied multimodal interaction? (2) How can such abstraction mechanisms be founded on behavi

Hydrogen has emerged as a potential enabler for reducing emissions in the transport sector. To fully harness its potential, stakeholders must adapt their business models to accommodate future business conditions. In our study, we focused on the Swedish road transportation sector and analyzed potential future conditions that will likely impact business models up to 2045. We outlined existing busine

This article compares the policy and collective bargaining responses in the three Scandinavian countries to the cost-of-living crisis that began in 2021. The countries are known for their coordinated and consensual response to exogenous shocks. However, Scandinavian variants of neoliberal reforms, the 2009 Financial Crisis and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged the model. The co

Attacks on infrastructure have been a common feature of terrorism over many decades. The weapon of choice is often a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) or a person-borne or other type of IED. The consequences of a successful attack in terms of casualties, physical damage, and other direct and indirect costs including societal costs can be catastrophic. Protectives and other risk red

Lunds universitet har på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket under 2021–2022 utvärderat metodik för nationell pollinatörsövervakning. Metodiken bygger på rapporten ”Proposal for an EU pollinator monitoring scheme” som tagits fram av en expertgrupp inom EU och ska ge underlag för uppföljning av pollinatörer på nationell nivå med ett främsta fokus på landskapet utanför områden som omfattas av EU:s gemensamm

The INTERSPEC project, funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant, is focused on introducing a novel analytical methodology for studying single-cell scale fungal metabolism to clarify how fungal decomposition rates are affected by changing environmental (biotic and abiotic) conditions.

The interest in galectin-3 as a drug target in the cancer and fibrosis space has grown during the past few years with several new classes of compounds being developed. The first orally available galectin-3 inhibitor, GB1211 (h-galectin-3 Kd = 0.025 μM), is currently in phase 2 clinical trials. Due to structural differences between human and mouse galectin-3 a significant reduction in mouse galecti

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing appendicitis in children remains a challenge, and the role of urine dipstick is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the association between abnormal urine dipstick results and appendicitis, particularly appendicitis severity and appendix position.METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted from 2017 to 2021 at a tertiary hospital in Sweden. Children aged ≤ 15 y

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are structures that neutrophils form in response to various stimuli, including invading pathogens. NETs are increasingly studied, and their importance has been demonstrated in autoimmunity and infection. However, no consensus has emerged on their quantification, with many studies resorting to manually counting NETs in microscopy images. NETQUANT is a free soft

The anticipated introduction of multi-GHz channel bandwidths in 6G makes integrated passive baseband filters very attractive. This work presents techniques to obtain high stop-band attenuation in a compact 4.7-GHz 5th-order passive baseband filter. A lumped model of the filter inductors is derived, and a capacitive cancellation technique is proposed, along with techniques to reduce inductive coupl
