Objective: In this study, we propose a novel framework that utilizes deep learning and attention mechanisms to predict the radiographic progression of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) over a period of seven years. Design: This study included subjects (1832 subjects, 3276 knees) from the baseline of the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST). Patellofemoral joint regions-of interest were ident
När föräldrar inte själva kan komma överens i frågor om vårdnaden om, boendet för eller umgänget med sitt barn, kan frågorna tas upp hos socialtjänsten eller i domstol. När beslut om barn ska fattas, ska barnets bästa vara den slutligt bestämmande faktorn, en aspekt i bedömningen om barnets bästa är barnets behov av en nära och god kontakt med båda föräldrarna. En (radikal)feministisk utgångspunk
Den gängrelaterade brottsligheten har ökat kraftigt i Sverige. Regeringen har av denna anledning infört visitationszoner som ett verktyg för att bekämpa detta. Inom zonen ska polisen få utökade befogenheter att söka efter vapen och andra farliga föremål på människor och fordon utan konkret brottsmiss-tanke. Visitationszoner är ett komplext problem där många starka intressen står mot varandra. UppsGang-related crime has increased significaly in Sweden. For this reason, the government has introduced visitation zones as a tool to combat this issue. Within this zone, the police will be given extended authority to search for weapons and other dangerous objects on people and vehicles without concrete suspicion of crime. Visitation zones pose a complex issue where many strong interests stand agai
Background: Cardiovascular disease is common and it is therefore important to have tools to investigate pathophysiology and normal physiology of the cardiovascular system. One such tool is using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in order to measure blood flow in vessels, particularly while the participant imaged is exercising. This enables studying the blood flow during exercise which is especiall
The Gala payload ensures maximum passive stability using a single material, SiC, for most of its elements. Dedicated metrology instruments are, however, required to carry out two functions: monitoring the basic angle and refocusing the telescope. Two interferometers fed by the same laser are used to measure the basic angle changes at the level of pas (prad, micropixel), which is the highest level
This school meals case study forms part of a collection led by the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition’s "Good Examples" Community of Practice. The School Meals Case Study of Sweden serves to document how the national school meals programme is organized, funded, and monitored throughout the country. The objectives of this case study include presenting an introduction to the country
Conscription forces young men to serve in the military, irrespective of their opportunity costs. Using random assignment in the Danish draft lottery, we find a negative average effect of peacetime military service on earnings, an effect varying by ability, with high-ability men facing a $23,000 lifetime earnings penalty but with low-ability men facing none. This gradient is robust to different mea
We point out the risks of protecting relational databases via Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) schemes by proposing an inference attack exploiting the structural properties of relational databases. We show that record-injection attacks mounted on relational databases have worse consequences than their file-injection counterparts on un- structured databases. Moreover, we discuss some technique
We investigate the evolution of relatedness linkages between Swedish industries during five sub-periods between 1991 and 2010. Distinguishing between the stable ties (present in all subperiods) and non-stable ties (emerging, disappearing, etc), we demonstrate that the relatedness linkages change considerably over time. Furthermore, we show that the changes in the relatedness matrix matter for the
I denna studie undersöks olika frågeställningar som gäller utveckling, talang och begåvning och hur olika cellister och cellolärare ställer sig till dessa frågor. I kapitlet som behandlar min bakgrund redogör jag för min musikaliska utveckling samt hur det kom sig att mitt stora intresse för dessa frågor väcktes. Studien baseras till stor del på kvalitativa intervjuer men det är centralt för underThe purpose of this study is to examine some cello teachers views about development, talent and giftedness in the light of recent research in the field. The first chapter is concerned with my own background as a cellist and where my big interest for the subject of this study came from. The study is based on qualitative interviews with three cellists but the theory of researchers into the relation
Estimation of the generalization performance for classification within the medical applications domain is always an important task. In this study we focus on artificial neural network ensembles as the machine learning technique. We present a numerical comparison between five common resampling techniques: k-fold cross validation (CV), holdout, using three cutoffs, and bootstrap using five different
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical origin. This background is a target for the current generation of ground-based detectors. In this article we present the first joint search for a stochastic background using data from the LIGO and Virgo interferometers.
