In this work we present SPL-BEV, a method to localize soccer players on a pitch from a monocular RGB camera. SPL-BEV features a network with few parameters that does not need to make any explicit object detection before localization is made. With SPL-BEV we show increased performance on the Spiideo SoccerNet SynLoc dataset compared to the best provided baseline result. The SPL-BEV system samples f
The study investigates how the Best Interests of the Child principle in the UN Children's Rights Convention (Article 3) has been adapted in custody disputes in Egypt, Sweden, and Uzbekistan. Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child offers a common normative benchmark, divergent legal cultures shape its domestic meaning: Egypt is governed by religious and state legal norms intersecting wi
In this work, we study YouTube traffic characteristics in a medium-sized Swedish residential municipal network that has 2600 mainly FTTH broadband-connected households. YouTube traffic analyses were carried out in the perspective of video clip category and duration, in order to understand their impact on the potential local network caching gains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first tim
Summary: The Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) Consensus Meeting endorsed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), Asian Federation of Osteoporosis Societies (AFOS), and Asia Pacific Osteoporosis Foundation (APOF) was hosted by the Taiwanese Osteoporosis Association on October 14, 2017. International and domestic experts reviewed the 13 Best Practice Framework (BPF) standards and concluded
Event-based sampling provides a way of lowering the resource utilization in sensing and communication applications. By sending a sample only when some triggering condition is fulfilled, we can ensure that the transmitted samples actually carry innovation. However, in an event-based system, the state estimation problem becomes complicated, as the information of not receiving a measurement must be t
Recently, the performance of many-light algorithms, where thousands of light sources are used to compute the lighting in a scene, has improved so much that they have reached the realm of real-time rendering. In general, the algorithm that is considered “best” is the one that is the fastest in terms of time per frame. Given that power efficiency may become or already is one of the most important op
Using the metric of channel capacity, three dual-antenna multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) terminals with adaptive impedance matching were evaluated at LTE Band 13 in four different user scenarios using simulation. Each of the three terminals is equipped with a slot-monopole antenna and a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). The slot monopole is fixed at one edge of the chassis, whereas the locat
GÅS nyhetsbrev Under Covid-19 pandemin har många äldres möjligheter till sociala kontakter drastiskt minskat och vi har därför startat ett nytt projekt där vi vill studera effekter av ensam- het, såväl upplevd emotionell ensamhet som social isolering och samband med fysisk/psykisk symtombörda. Långvarig stress i samband med emotionell ensamhet- när man saknar en nära relation att dela sina innerst

Aims Methadone and buprenorphine diversion by patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST) is a poorly understood phenomenon. We study the norms and attitudes on diversion among OST patients, including the role these norms and attitudes play as diversion risk factors. We also study whether perceived quality of care, social bonds to treatment staff, and deterrence can be associated with diversio
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous anthropogenic particles that accumulate in coastal zones, sediments, and the water column. The exposure of organisms to MPs in these habitats may depend on foraging strategies and landscape characteristics. This study compared MP contamination in the feces of waterbirds from two trophic groups: benthivores (American oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus; white-backe
The Chicxulub impact triggered a massive extinction event marked by the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (K-Pg ∼66Ma), ejecting vast amounts of dust, molten, and vaporized materials. While impact spherules are interpreted as products of impactor and target lithologies, their precise composition and distribution remain insufficiently constrained. Although previous studies restrict impactor contaminati
Pleural and tracheal injuries remain significant problems, and an easy to use, effective pleural or tracheal sealant would be a significant advance. The major challenges are requirements for adherence, high strength and elasticity, dynamic durability, appropriate biodegradability, and lack of cell or systemic toxicity. We designed and evaluated two sealant materials comprised respectively of algin
The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext
Den svenska miljöbalken är ett viktigt verktyg för att kunna minska Sveriges utsläpp av växthusgaser och för att nå ett klimatneutralt Sverige till år 2045. Miljöbalkens tillståndsprövning av miljöfarlig verksamhet kan påverka de åtgärder och försiktighetsmått en verksamhetsutövare ska företa för att få bedriva en verksamhet som medför olägenhet för miljön, såsom utsläpp till luft. Genom att i tilThe Swedish Environmental Code is an important tool for reducing Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions and the prospect of reaching a climate-neutral state by the year 2045. The Environmental Code’s permit procedure for environmentally hazardous activities can influence the actions and precautionary measures a business operator must undertake when operating an activity that causes inconvenience to the

Background and Aims Organisms may be polymorphic within natural populations, but often the significance and genetic background to such polymorphism is not known. To understand the colour polymorphism expressed in the diploid marsh-orchids Dactylorhiza incarnata, morphological, habitat and genetic differentiation was studied in mixed populations on the island of Gotland, supplemented with genetic m
This study compares the performance of different models used to assess the local wind near-surface conditions at an agricultural site in Scania, southern Sweden. The methods are: (a) the WASP model (Wind Analysis and Application Program), (b) separate linear regressions of the two wind vector components, (c) a regression model based on vector correlation, and (d) linear regression of scalar wind.
The effects of input data uncertainty on the critical loads and exceedance estimates for Swedish forest soils was assessed using Monte Carlo simulations of the PROFILE model. The study focuses on the effects of data uncertainty on the 5%-ile critical load at 150 × 150 km resolution and the 95%-ile exceedance at 150 × 150 km and 50 × 50 km resolution. The results indicate that data uncertainty limi
EG har kontinuerligt ägnat sig åt reglering av kemiska produkter. 1967 antogs första rättsakten som rörde kemikaliekontroll. Under 1960- och 70-talen antogs gemenskapslagstiftning främst för att undanröja hinder för den gemensamma inre marknaden och därmed främja den fria varurörligheten. Under 1980-talet blev miljöskydd ensamt skäl att anta lagstiftning på kemikalieområdet. Genom åren har ett ant
Background: Foot-and-mouth disease viruses (FMDVs) are members of the picornavirus family and cause an economically important disease of cloven-hoofed animals. To understand the structural basis of antigenic variation in FMDV, we have determined the structures of two viruses closely related to strain O1BFS whose structure is known. Results The two new structures are, like O1BFS, both serotype O vi
