Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games are a recent huge success both in the video game industry and the international eSports scene. These games encourage team coordination and cooperation, short and long-term planning, within a real-time combined action and strategy gameplay. Artificial intelligence (AI) and computational intelligence (CI) in games research competitions offer a wide variet

Purpose: With the increasing importance of unbiased conversational agents, this research investigates how debiasing strategies can be used to prevent cognitive biases from impacting conversation agents in the development process. A research gap was identified in the literature of prevention strategies for the management of cognitive biases. Therefore, existing literature on debiasing is explored a

Vertigo and dizziness are frequent symptoms among patients in primary health care. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one common cause of dizziness with, for the patient, alarming symptoms. It is relatively easy to diagnose, with manouvertreatment or habituation-exercises as effective treatments. The treatment with either Semont or Epley manoeuvres is so effective that it often appears

Abstract in Undetermined Este trabajo presenta el desarrollo de un banco de pruebas experimental para el análisis de la respuesta mecánica de los asientos de vehículos durante la entrada y salida de pasajeros. Para realizar este desarrollo, se consideran dos fases: la primera fase es la captura de datos, realizada mediante una manta sensorizada con una red de galgas de presión y un sistema de foto

People often draw inferences from sequences of past performance, sometimes perceiving patterns even in random outcomes. This has fueled debates regarding phenomena such as the hot hand and gambler’s fallacies. With the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems for forecasting and decision support, it becomes important to understand how people form beliefs from sequences of outcomes attri

Mobile money is a digital financial innovation enabling electronic payments and transfers through mobile phones. It has proven to be a convenient, safe and cheap way for money exchange in developing countries where access to traditional banking services is limited. This thesis aims to explore why Small and Medium Enterprises in Zambia do not adopt mobile money in an otherwise well-developed region

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

A reliable assessment of the optical properties of atmospheric black carbon is of crucial importance for an accurate estimation of radiative forcing. In this study we investigated the spatio-temporal variability of the mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of atmospheric black carbon, defined as light absorption coefficient (σap) divided by elemental carbon mass concentration (mEC). σap and mEC have

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The University’s new jubilee sculpture, created by Charlotte Gyllenhammar, was unveiled on Saturday 21 October, as part of LU’s 350th anniversary celebrations. The sculpture, Meteorite, is made of black-patinated bronze and is located to the right of Palaestra, as seen from the Lund University main building. Around 10

Researchers in Lund, Copenhagen and Norwich have shown that harmful mutations present in the DNA play an important – yet neglected – role in the conservation and translocation programs of threatened species. “Many species are threatened by extinction, both locally and globally. For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el
