  2. 1. Firms and Labor Markets : Essays in Development Economics

    Author : Francesco Loiacono; Jakob Svensson; Andreas Madestam; Tessa Bold; Simon Quinn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Firms; Labor Markets; Refugees; Social Cohesion; Corruption; Public Procurement; Gender; Credit Markets; RCT; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Matching with the Right Attitude: the Effect of Matching Firms with Refugee WorkersWe study the effect of contact in the workplace on firms' willingness to hire refugees and ultimately on refugees' labor market integration. We run an experiment in Uganda, where treated firms provide an internship of one week to a skilled refugee worker. READ MORE

  4. 2. Functional brain imaging of cognitive status in Parkinson's disease

    Author : Urban Ekman; Johan Eriksson; Lars Nyberg; Lars Forsgren; Oury Monchi; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; functional MRI; Mild cognitive impairment; Working memory; Parkinson’s disease dementia; BOLD;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is next to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the second most common neurodegenerative disease. PD has traditionally been characterised as a motor disorder, but more recent research has revealed that cognitive impairments are frequent. READ MORE

  5. 3. Machine learning for identification of brain activity patterns with applications in gentle touch processing

    Author : Malin Björnsdotter Åberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Somatosensory; Machine learning; Pattern recognition; fMRI; Support vector machines; Neuroscience; Brain; BOLD; Signal processing; Artificial intelligence; Touch; Human; Unmyelinated; Sensory; Affective;

    Abstract : Since the first mention of artificial intelligence in the 1950s, the field of machine learning has provided increasingly appealing tools for recognition of otherwise unintelligible pattern representations in complex data structures. Human brain activity, acquired using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is a prime example of such complex data where the utility of pattern recognition has been demonstrated in a wide range of studies recently (Haynes et al.

  6. 4. Assessment of Renal Physiology Using Functional MRI

    Author : Per Eckerbom; Per Liss; Fredrik Palm; Peter Hansell; Jarl Jakobsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kidney; Renal; MRI; Phase contrast; ASL; BOLD; DWI; T1; COVID-19; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Kidney injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, leading to substantial individual suffering and to a heavy financial burden for the society. A large number of common conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune diseases and infections are highly associated with kidney injury. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of the BOLD signal in functional MRI

    Author : Tomas Jonsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the last two decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become an important and widely used imaging technique for functional brain mapping. However, blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) technique is quite insensitive and task invoked BOLD signal change at 3T is typically in the order of a few percent. READ MORE
