The International Active Learning Space

For me, internationalisation is a learning outcome, not just about international mobility. It is about ensuring that students actively participate in a learning experience that prepares them for a world that is more and more internationally and interculturally connected - that both Danish and non-Danish students receive the basic international and intercultural skills and knowledge they need in cu

Inte i min last! : Utvärdering av en e-utbildning emot narkotikasmuggling inom transportsektorn

I denna rapport, som författats på Rättssociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Brottsförebyggande rådet och Länsstyrelsen Skåne, utvärderas en e-utbildning som ämnar förebygga narkotikasmuggling i transportsektorn. Denna e-utbildning – som kallas Inte i min last! – har tagits fram inom en regional samverkansöverenskommelse mellan Länsstyrelsen Skåne, Sydsvenska handelskamma

Longitudinal development of fatigue after treatment for childhood cancer : a national cohort study

BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a distressing and prevalent long-term sequela of treatment for childhood cancer, and there is a need for longitudinal studies to investigate the development of fatigue over time. The objective of this study was to calculate growth-curves for the longitudinal development of fatigue after treatment for childhood cancer, and to investigate the effects of biopsychosocial predict

Model-free MIMO control tuning of a chiller process using reinforcement learning

The performance of HVAC equipment, including chillers, is continuing to be pushed to theoretical limits, which impacts the necessity for advanced control logic to operate them efficiently and robustly. At the same time, their architectures are becoming more complex; many systems have multiple compressors, expansion devices, evaporators, circuits, or other elements that challenge control design and

Very Early Life Risk Factors for Developing Dementia : Evidence from full population registers

OBJECTIVES: Very early-life conditions are recognized as critical for healthy brain development. This study assesses early-life risk factors for developing dementia. In the absence of historical medical birth records, we leverage an alternative full population approach using demographic characteristics obtained from administrative data to derive proxy indicators for birth complications and unfavor

Oxidative stress-related genetic variation and antioxidant vitamin intake in intact and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm : a Swedish population-based retrospective cohort study

AIMS: The aim of this study is to investigate how genetic variations in genes related to oxidative stress, intake of antioxidant vitamins, and any potential interactions between these factors affect the incidence of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its rupture (rAAA), accounting for sex differences where possible.METHODS AND RESULTS: The present retrospective cohort study (n = 25 252) us

Klassriket Klasskunskaper i den svenska partipolitiska sfären, 1911-1940

This article investigates the creation and circulation of class knowledge among Sweden's political parties as Swedish representative democracy took shape, 1911-1940. When the expanded franchise for men was introduced in the general election of 1911, the National Statistics Bureau (SCB) was tasked with categorising voters to measure the effects of the reform. They created a taxonomy made up of thre

Class Divisions in Use : The Swedish Social Group Taxonomy as Difference Technology, 1911-1970

This article investigates an important but understudied phenomenon: the bureaucratic class division, which is analysed as a difference technology for envisioning, studying and managing the population. I examine a long-lived and widely spread taxonomy of the Swedish population into three social groups (Socialgrupper). Specifically, I look at how it influenced the production of statistics and knowle

Klass i begåvningsreservens tidevarv : Taxonomiska konflikter inom och genom svensk utbildningsforskning, ca 1945–1960

This article studies conceptualisations of social class in Swedish education research, c. 1945–1960. The article follows knowledge produced about talent and class in state commissions and in the newly expanded social sciences, and how it in turn was interpreted and used in political debates and in the media. I show that the taxonomy of the population in social groups (Socialgrupper) was key for co

Responsibility and Ambivalence

I use the concept of ambivalence—the state of being faced with a choice that cannot be resolved without sacrificing something of value—to approach five contemporary debates in the philosophy of moral responsibility: (1) psychopathy, (2) free will, (3) the emotion of guilt, (4) regret and indirect moral luck, and (5) moral demandingness. Rather than arguing for one theory or another, acknowledging

Quality Control in ECG-based Atrial Fibrillation Screening

This thesis comprises an introductory chapter and four papers related to quality control in ECG-based atrial fibrillation (AF) screening. Atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by an irregular rhythm and constitutes a major risk factor for stroke. Anticoagulation therapy significantly reduces this risk, and therefore, AF screening is motivated. Atrial fibrillation screening is o

Gender (in)equality within the Swedish Armed Forces : Resistance and Functional Disinclination

Historically and traditionally, military work has been closely associated with men. However, the post-Cold War normalization process has brought about a transformation in both the Swedish Armed Forces themselves and the perception of the organization. Normative concerns, including gender equality, have gained significant prominence, compelling the armed forces to embark on various initiatives aime
