There is still a need for new agents which improve upon the therapeutic index of tiotropium, the current standard of care for many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We examined in patients with COPD the efficacy of single doses of AZD9164, an M(3)-selective muscarinic antagonist, to identify an appropriate dose-range for future studies. COPD patients (n = 28) inhaled AZD9

Projekt Turnstone är ett samverkansprojekt delvis finansierat av Europeiska kommissionen. Projektet är ett initiativ av Stockholmspolisens gränsbevakningsenhet. Syftet med Projekt Turnstone är att minska gränsöverskridande brottslighet, förbättra dagligt samarbete mellan gräns, polis och kustbevakare i Östersjöregionen och förbättra säkerheten för passagerare i Östersjöregionen utan att göra avkalProject Turnstone is a collaborative project funded in part by the European Commission. The project is an initiative by the Stockholm Police. The purpose of the project is to improve day-to-day cooperation between border officers in the Baltic Sea region, decrease trans-boundary criminality, and increase security for passengers in the Baltic Sea area without compromising freedom of movement. Withi

For nearly three decades, spatial games have produced a wealth of insights to the study of behavior and its relation to population structure. However, as different rules and factors are added or altered, the dynamics of spatial models often become increasingly complicated to interpret. To tackle this problem,we introduce persistent homology as a rigorous framework that can be used to both define a

Within the field of cell biology, an essential tool is to deliver molecules to cells to manipulate cell behaviour and function. This enables the study of, for example, how a specific change in a cellular process contributes to a disease state. However, cells have barriers, such as the cell membrane, that need to be overcome for the molecules to have an effect. Current transfection methods, such as

BACKGROUND In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), therapies that could further reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes are needed. METHODS In this international registry-based, randomized, double-blind trial, patients without prior diabetes or chronic heart failure, presenting with acute MI and impaired left ventricular systolic function, were randomly assigned

Climate change is real and imminent, and mitigation and adaptation responses are vital and urgent. Denmark is renowned for its aspirations for sustainability and concerns in that regard, especially among its citizenry. Nevertheless, high-impact lifestyles persist which put an excessive pressure on the global climate system and expose a tension between pro-environmental dispositions and actual cons

The purpose of this thesis was to explore deep learning methods of segmentation, classification and tracking of objects in LiDAR data. To do this a complete pipeline was developed, consisting of background filtering, clustering, tracking, labeling and visualization. The objects that were focused on were pedestrians, cyclists, cars and animals, in different environments. Background segmentation and

In recent years, several interesting wearable products which originates from smartphone technology have been introduced on the market. One of these products which has increased in interest, but not yet received a commercial breakthrough, is smart glasses. As the technology is still young and undeveloped, few players have embarked on the market and there is still room for improvement. In this thesi

The estimated number of children who are utilised as child soldiers all over the world is 250,000 today. Based on the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers research children were used in armed conflicts in 20 countries from 2004-2007. One of the most prominent nations involving the use of child soldiers is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is estimated, that 40% of them are girls, who

Biomass residues have been identified as potentially promising resources for production of bio-based products and fuels with low climate impacts. Unlike primary biomass such as crops, using residual biomass may avoid issues such as competition over land for food and feed production. To assess the climate impacts of products made from residual biomass, a life cycle assessment (LCA) may be used, but

The threat to the rural heritage has since the 1990s become a concern for Chinesescholars and heritage experts. Today many individual buildings and whole villageshave been listed as protected sites at different levels. But long before experts began totake an interest, villagers were themselves actively involved in protecting their owntraditions and the buildings of importance to the community (in
