In this paper we investigate the problem of segmenting images using the information in text annotations. In contrast to the general image understanding problem, this type of annotation guided segmentation is less ill-posed in the sense that for the output there is higher consensus among human annotations. In the paper we present a system based on a combined visual and semantic pipeline. In the vis

Abstract in UndeterminedIn this article, a perspective on work time patterns is outlined; a perspective that emphasizes the importance of observing how work time is subject not only to task and contract agreements but also to social norms and individual needs to express identity. The article takes its starting point in Goffman’s dramaturgic approach. From this perspective, the workplace is viewed

Abstract in UndeterminedThis article aims to provide a historical perspective to the emergence of trust-based control systems in the workplace. These systems are often seen as a response to increasedflexibility requirements following the progress of digital technology, globalisationand an increased knowledge content in production. In contrary to this opinion, itis argued in the article that the ph

A concept that lies at the heart of political rhetoric is that of ‘workfare’. The issue, however, is what types of arguments have been invoked to assert the value of the concept. During the 1960s and 1970s, extensive criticism emerged towards a working life that was said to hinder women’s emancipation; a working life that wasted resources and had a negative impact on the environment; a working lif

For robots to be productive co-workers in the manufacturing industry, it is necessary that their human colleagues can interact with them and instruct them in a simple manner. The goal of our research is to lower the threshold for humans to instruct manipulation tasks, especially sensorcontrolled assembly. In our previous work we have presented tools for high-level task instruction, while in this p

Medeltidshandskrift 14, the so called Liber scole virginis, is the oldest existing song book of the Cathedral of Lund. It has been given much attention this year in connection with the 900th anniversary of the archdiocese of Denmark. The codicological analysis of this manuscript tells an interesting story about the development of the Marian cult in Lund.

WHO has expressed that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) often are disadvantaged when it comes to accessing healthcare. However, a more solid evidence base is needed to determine if, and in which parts of the health system people with ID have lower access.

PURPOSE: Physical activity during growth is associated with high peak bone mass and may, as a result, prevent osteoporosis later in life. It is therefore possible that athletic activity during youth could lower the risk of fragility fractures in old age. Though, this is currently unclear and, based on evaluations of surrogate skeletal end point variables in former athletes, we hypothesized that th

In this article, we describe a system that classifies relations between entities extracted from an image. We started from the idea that we could utilize lexical and semantic information from text associated with the image, such as captions or surrounding text, rather than just the geometric and visual characteristics of the entities found in the image. We collected a corpus of images from Wikipedi

An increasing number of researchers record binocular eye-tracking signals from participants viewing moving stimuli, but the majority of event-detection algorithms are monocular and do not consider smooth pursuit movements. The purposes of the present study are to develop an algorithm that discriminates between fixations and smooth pursuit movements in binocular eye-tracking signals and to evaluate

The second peace process which started in 2013 ended abruptly in the summer of 2015. The AKP government accuses the PKK for betraying the peace process and re-starting armed attacks against the Turkish security personnel. In contrast the Kurdish political movement argues that it was the AKP who ended the peace process. According to them HDP’s adamant opposition to the presidentialism of Erdogan ha

The increase in both the use of open-source software (OSS) and the number of new vulnerabilities reported in this software constitutes an increased threat to businesses, people, and our society. To mitigate this threat, vulnerability information must be efficiently handled in organizations. In addition, where e.g., IoT devices are integrated into systems, such information must be disseminated from

We have implemented and evaluated a secondary organic aerosol scheme within the chemistry transport model TM5-MP in this work. In earlier versions of TM5-MP the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) was emitted as Aitken-sized particle mass emulating the condensation. In the current scheme we simulate the formation of secondary organic aerosol from oxidation of isoprene and monoterpenes by ozone and hyd
