Cardiac arrest effectiveness trials have traditionally reported outcomes that focus on survival. A lack of consistency in outcome reporting between trials limits the opportunities to pool results for meta-analysis.

In this article we present a new method for visual face tracking that is carried out in wavelet subspace. Firstly, a waveletre presentation for the face template is created, which spans a low dimensional subspace of the image space. The wavelet representation of the face is a point in this wavelet subspace. The video sequence frames in which the face is tracked are orthogonally projected into this

This paper discusses the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the long-standing human rights system of the United Nations. Thematically, these two modes of global governance strongly overlap. Several SDGs are in line with human rights obligations. At the same time, the SDGs and human rights are based on divergent logics and constructed very differently. After capturing

Utilizing passive floodwater harvesting for artificial recharge and spate irrigation in arid and semiarid areas is an opportunity to use marginal water to improve the livelihood of rural community. In the present study, ground- water modeling to estimate recharge, and field experiments for spate irrigation of barley, were carried out to investigate the performance and potential of water harvesting

Gas turbine systems are predominantly designed to be fuelled with gaseous fuels within a limited Wobbe index range (typically HHV=45-55 MJ/Nm3 or 1200-1480 Btu/scf). When low calorific fuel gases are fired, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. The added mass flow will typically raise the cycle pressure ratio and in two-shaft designs also raise the gas generator shaft s

Detta arbete kick-startar AI (artificiell intelligens) för ledningsunderhåll i VA-branschen i Sverige. Arbetet med befintliga VA-nät är idag främst reaktivt; man reparerar läckor vartefter man blir varse dem, ibland till stora kostnader om läckan är omfattande och akut. Med denna artikel vill vi sätta fokus på proaktivt arbete med ledningsnät och diskutera riskanalys inom området. En ANN-modell soThis work kick-starts AI (artificial intelligence) for pipe management among Swedish water utilities. The current work with pipe management is mainly reactive; leaks are repaired after they are detected, sometimes with large costs if the leakage is extensive and critical. With this article, we want to focus on proactive pipe network management and discuss risk analysis in the field. A previously d

During memory formation, structural rearrangements of dendritic spines provide a mean to durably modulate synaptic connectivity within neuronal networks. New neurons generated throughout the adult life in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus contribute to learning and memory. As these neurons become incorporated into the network, they generate huge numbers of new connections that modify hippocampa

The underpinning idea of extended producer responsibility rules has been to provide incentives for manufacturers to design products that are easy to recycle. However, current incentives for design for recycling are limited, due to the problems in assigning costs for collection and recycling of individual products to the relevant producers. An alternative way to promote design for recycling, or to

Drawing on ethnographic observations in Sweden and affect theory, this study immerses researcher-consumer bodies in extended retail spaces to explore affective encounters. Conceptualizing consumption spaces as affective assemblages, it unveils how affective states of disposition, disorientation, and distress from interactions with socio-material elements shape bodily experiences of inclusion and e

It has recently been argued that in normal decision circumstances no systematic decision method that predicts the likelihood that individuals possess some property can be fair. Either (i) the decision method correctly identifies the relevant property (e.g. recidivism) more often in one subgroup (e.g. black defendants) than another (e.g. white defendants); or (ii) the decision method systematically

Library and information science (LIS), is a research area marked by theoretical diversity and strong influence from both the developing library profession, as well as other social sciences. During the development of LIS several attempts have been made to define its scientific identity. The definition of what constitutes core, boundaries and the superior identity of LIS is still debated among resea

We argue that the subject matter and objectives of risk science establish it as an inherently interdisciplinary field, closely connected to both academic disciplines and practical applications. However, risk research faces a range of interdisciplinary challenges. These include the production of low-quality research—characterised by superficial and insufficiently grounded conclusions—a lack of mutu
