We will give a short introduction to foreground/background estimation and Hidden Markov fortracking. More information about the topics can be found in the papers listed at the end.

Objective: To explore how persons with late effects of polio experience falls and what strategies they use to manage the consequences of falls. Design: A qualitative study with face-To-face interviews. Data were analysed by systematic text condensation. Participants: Fourteen ambulatory persons (7 women; mean age 70 years) with late effects of polio. Results: Analysis resulted in one main theme, "

Sofisterna, de första retorikteoretikerna, har inget särskilt gott rykte. Enligt våra uppslagsverk betyder sofism medvetet logiskt felslut. I retoriska handböcker brukar benämningen sofister användas för ett antal retoriskt intresserade lärare och tänkare från antikens Grekland. Det är enligt forskare på området lite oegentligt att tala om sofister, som om det vore någon enhetlig rörelse, vilket d

Reference Attribute Grammars (RAGs) is a declarative executable formalism used for constructing compilers and related tools. Existing implementations support concurrent evaluation only with global evaluation locks. This may lead to long latencies in interactive tools, where interactive and background threads query attributes concurrently.We present lock-free algorithms for concurrent attribute eva

Cancer cells reside in a complex microenvironment comprising stromal cells and immune cells embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM). Early on in tumor progression, cells reach a critical volume beyond which blood supply is impaired, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels (hypoxia) and nutrient supply. This situation triggers a stress response characterized by a metabolic switch to glycolysis, wh

BACKGROUND: Body height has been associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the association can be confounded with shared familial factors (genetic/environmental). A cosibling design is useful for deeper understanding about the relationship between VTE and height.METHODS AND RESULTS: From Swedish national registry databases, we used a corelative design with full sibling

BACKGROUND: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosome disorder. The genetic background is the extra X chromosome. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been observed among KS patients. The aim of the present study was to examine whether KS is associated with VTE.METHODS AND RESULTS: We followed up all hospital in- and outpatients (N=1085) in Sweden with a diagnosis of KS between Janua

Background:Due to new legislation in 2011 and 2013, the Swedish public healthcare system has undergone change as regards incident reporting and supervision. Focus has turned to learning from adverse events and sharing this learning with actors within the system. The aim of this study was to explore with what underlying safety ontology adverse events in the incident reporting system are investigate

One classic approach to real-time object detection is to use adaboost to a train a set of look up tables of discrete features. By utilizing a discrete feature set, from features such as local binary patterns, efficient classifiers can be designed. However, these classifiers include interpolation operations while scaling the images over various scales. In this work, we propose the use of real value

Den som har det tryggt och bra flyr inte. Vi flyr från svält, fattigdom och politiskt förtryck. När konferensen om prioriteringar i folkvandringens tid hölls 2016 förväntades mellan 70000 och 140000 flyktingar komma till Sverige. Några av dem hade varit med om hemskheter som nog flera av oss i Sverige har svårt att föreställa sig. Många var/är i stort behov av vård på grund av fysisk eller psykisk

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is major health problem and is sometimes complicated by lethal pulmonary embolism (PE). Disturbances of the coagulation and anticoagulation systems are important risk factors for VTE. Comparative studies suggest that coagulation and innate immunity have a shared evolutionary origin. It is therefore unsurprising that the immune and coagulation systems are linked, with m
