Deep metabarcoding offers an efficient and reproducible approach to biodiversity monitoring, but noisy data and incomplete reference databases challenge accurate diversity estimation and taxonomic annotation. Here, we introduce a novel algorithm, NEEAT, for removing spurious operational taxonomic units (OTUs) originating from nuclear-embedded mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs) or sequencing error
Variations in laser properties and data acquisition times introduced inconsistencies in Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) data. The effect of data inconsistencies, on two GLAS height retrieval methods, from three study sites, are investigated and validated against airborne laser scanning (ALS) percentile heights, from three data sources: all/first return point clouds, and raster canopy heig
One of the key elements in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is the gas diffusion layer (GDL). The GDL offers mechanical support to the cell and provides the medium for diffusing the reactant gases from the flow plates to the electrolyte enabling the electrochemical reactions, and therefore the energy conversion. At the same time, it has the task of transporting the electrons from the active
Predicting click-through rates (CTR) is essential for optimizing the effectiveness of mobile advertising campaigns, where accurate prediction of user interactions can significantly enhance revenue generation and ad targeting strategies. This thesis investigates the efficacy of different predictive models, using a dataset composed of impressions and interactions with mobile ads. The models examined
This thesis describes how software for automated bidding on for example auction sites could function. The thesis is divided into three parts. The elements are composed of: • Collecting bid data from the website that the auction is held on and pass the raw data to the main application for further processing. • A graphical presentation of the auction data is shown divided into individual auctions in
Innan 21 kap. FB infördes år 1968 ansågs i praxis utsökningslagen vara tillämplig i ärenden om verkställighet av avgöranden beträffande vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Mål som berörde barn prövades således enligt samma regler som egendomsobjekt. 21 kap. FB infördes som en reaktion mot att barn på detta sätt behandlades såsom vore de egendom. Idag skall enligt lag barnets bästa komma i främsta rummetBefore Chapter 21 in the Children and Parents Code (Föräldrabalk (1949:381)) was introduced, the enforcement of matters concerning custody, residence and contact was made in accordance with regular executive procedure rules. Cases involving children were consequently made according to rules which are generally applied to private property. Chapter 21 in the Children and Parents Code was introduced
A record number of PhD students, around 25, from 10 of SWEAH's 13 partner universities, participated in the spring SWEAH PhD Student Days at Kristianstad University last week. It was a replay of the popular theme "Introduction to Writing Retreats". As usual, the doctoral students networked, shared experiences and learned new things during a lecture on how AI can be used in scientific writing, and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The coronavirus has been spreading fast internationally, in Sweden as well as in Skåne. At the IIIEE, we follow the development closely and take action based on the decisions by the Swedish authorities and Lund University.

Syftet med förevarande framställning är att utifrån en komparativ studie av svensk och australiensisk rätt beskriva och jämföra hur respektive land reglerar barnets bästa i vårdnadsmål. Både i svensk och i australiensisk rätt förekommer begreppet barnets bästa och i båda länderna görs en in casu bedömning vid bestämmandet av vad som är bäst för barnet. Utformningen av lagstiftningen skiljer sig e
Methods have been studied for the production of chiral alcohols, which are of importance in organic synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agro-chemicals and fragrances, etc., through the enzymatic or microbial reduction of ketones. Classical reaction engineering was combined with genetic engineering to improve the production of chiral alcohols and kinetic resolution of racemic ketones with high enantiomer
The effect of plant species diversity on productivity and competitive ability was studied in an experiment carried out simultaneously in five European countries: Czech Republic (CZ), the Netherlands (NL), Sweden (SE), Spain (SP), and United Kingdom (UK). The aim was to separate the 'chance' or 'sampling effect' (increasing the number of sown species increases the probability that a species able 't
1 Plant species differ in their capacity to influence soil organic matter, soil nutrient availability and the composition of soil microbial communities. Their influences on soil properties result in net positive or negative feedback effects, which influence plant performance and plant community composition. 2 For two grassland systems, one on a sandy soil in the Netherlands and one on a chalk soi
ASG 2025-2026 How do we shape higher education for a world driven by computational methods? As computational science becomes essential across disciplines, we need to rethink how we design, structure, and support education in this rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field. Computational science is an exciting, interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computational methods to solve big research cha

The present study reveals how the presence of relevant and irrelevant spoken language affects the processing for visual information, and if this is mediated by executive function processes that develop from childhood (N = 10, age 4-10) to adolescence (N = 16, age 14-17) and through adulthood (N = 16, age 21-28). Participants engaged in a task in which they looked at visual stimuli organized within
Fully implicit Runge-Kutta methods play an important role in the numerical integration of stiff differential equations. Radau IIA is the most commonly used fully implicit method due to its good theoretical performance. However, Radau IA and Lobatto IIIC might also be suitable for different problems. These three methods are constructed using simplified order conditions that ensures specific integra
Bedwetting, also known as enuresis, is the second most common chronic health problem among children and negatively affects their daily lives. A first-line treatment option for enuresis is alarm treatment that awakens the child upon urination. This treatment has been further developed by the company Pjama AB that, in addition to the alarm, offers a mobile application where users provides data regar
This thesis explores the ability for retail banks to allocate economic capital below portfolio level. First, a discussion about capital requirements and risk measures to provide a sound basis for determining the economic capital of the bank. In general, economic capital is allocated to the banks portfolios but not on a more granular level, through a capital allocation method. This study discuss th
