   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Affective Computing; Machine Learning; Adversarial Risk Analysis; Broaden and Build Theory; Facial Expression Recognition; Speech Emotion Recognition; Detection of Emotional Information; Emotional self-regulation; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : Emotion influences our actions, and this means that emotion has subjective decision value. Emotions, properly interpreted and understood, of those affected by decisions provide feedback to actions and, as such, serve as a basis for decisions. READ MORE

4. 2. Studies of cell-on-chip technology and basophil regulation for improved allergy diagnostics

   Author : Frida Kalm; Anna Nopp Scherman; Stephanie Descroix; KTH; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

   Abstract : Allergic diseases affect approximately 30% of adults and has an impact on both the individual’s quality of life as well as an economic impact on society. Two effector cells involved in allergic disease are mast cells and basophils, where basophils are more readily available in blood and therefore of great interest when studying allergy. READ MORE

5. 3. Integration of a hemicelluloses extraction step into a forest biorefinery for production of green chemicals

   Author : Jonas Helmerius; Luleå tekniska universitet; []

7. 5. Continuous improvements of complex technical systems : aspects of stakeholder requirements and system functions

   Author : Peter Söderholm; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology and Management;

   Abstract : In today's society we are all strongly dependent on correct functions of technical systems. These systems tend to increase in both complexity and criticality, at the same time as they often have a rather long life. During this long life the stakeholders' requirements on the functions of the systems change. READ MORE
