"Jens Holgerß af Glimynge" Om en borgbyggares intentioner

Glimmingehus is one of the most well preserved medieval castles in Sweden. This essay examines why it was built ? what were the intentions of the Lord, Jens Holgersen? Even though we?ll never be able to ask him, the answer to the question ?why?? can give us an insight of how a man of his position thought in the Late Medieval time. To answer the question the castle are explored through three different angles ? the Lord of the castle and the social context the castle was built in, the landscape surrounding Glimmingehus ? has Jens Holgersen left any structural clues there, and finally the castle itself ? how has a potential visitor experienced Glimmingehus? The methods are greatly influenced by Gunhild Eriksdotter, who in her book Bakom fasaderna explores the possibilities of an analysis of experience together with an analysis of function in the archaeology of buildings. The analysis in this essay is also based on the ideas of Matthew Johnson and Martin Hansson concerning the spatial ideology of the medieval lords, and how they show that ideology in the landscape and their castles. The result of this approach shows that Glimmingehus was built by Jens Holgersen as a personal project to highlight himself as a part of the upper nobility and as an individual. Thus not said that Glimmingehus only has a symbolic meaning - to Jens Holgersen and his contemporaries the symbolic meaning of Glimmingehus was something real and could truly affect the position one had in the society

Kunskapsuppbyggnad och erfarenhetsåterföring i byggprojekt

Many actors in the construction sector as well as in the research community emphasize the importance of experience feedback and knowledge building in order to streamline and improve the working methods. Taking advantage of positive experiences, sharing them with colleagues and documenting them within the organisation can be useful for future projects. On the other hand, negative experiences should be utilized to identify and prevent the repetition of bad performances and practices or inefficient methods in order to develop better methods and processes. However, it seems challenging to create an efficient working strategy for feedback of experience, even though most parties realize its importance both in terms of competition and the company's development. Shortcomings in the work with experience feedback are often attributed to lack of time, de-prioritization and difficulty to charge the costs; all of which will be discussed in this study. Experience feedback has been shown to be a complex subject in which many parameters are of importance. In many ways, it is about communication, but we all know that communication can be done in many ways and that knowledge is not always easy to convey. Identifying knowledge and experience sometimes requires time for reflection and the will to transfer experiences depends on the individual's engagement and motivation. The report includes advice from previous studies that could increase the chances for successful and efficient experience feedback. A case study is performed based on data collected from the project and construction management company “Forsen Projekt AB”. The analysis investigates the company's work with the feedback of experience and whether they have managed to create a common knowledge and experience bank within the organization, as well as areas that need to be strengthened in order to enhance the company's knowledge capital and thereby be able to take advantage of the assets that a properly functioning feedback of experience brings. Within “Forsen Projekt AB”, there is a deep understanding for the importance of experience feedback that is incorporated in the management system: "The only way for Forsen to evolve and become better in performing our mission is through experience feedback ... New lessons must be communicated to the rest of the company, or else we will not build up a common structural capital or business value, but will continue to work as individuals under the same umbrella. The effect of experience feedback enlarges when shared ". The employees at Forsen have an understanding of the importance of knowledge management and experience feedback. There is also a climate of transparency and a will to help out and share the knowledge and experience within the company. This is a strong foundation that provides good opportunities for experience feedback to be further elaborated and improved. The analysis reveals weaknesses in feedback distribution that are not handled in a systematic way, leading to that employees perceive the management system as unclear and do not follow its procedures. Many of these difficulties can be attributed to lack of time, de-prioritization and difficulties to charge the cost of work with feedback. Thus, the theory corresponds to reality within the company ”Forsen”

Real‐time and offline evaluation of myoelectric pattern recognition for the decoding of hand movements

Pattern recognition algorithms have been widely used to map surface electromyographic signals to target movements as a source for prosthetic control. However, most investigations have been conducted offline by performing the analysis on pre‐recorded datasets. While real‐time data analysis (i.e., classification when new data becomes available, with limits on latency under 200–300 milliseconds) plays an important role in the control of prosthetics, less knowledge has been gained with respect to real‐time performance. Recent literature has underscored the differences between offline classification accuracy, the most common performance metric, and the usability of upper limb prostheses. Therefore, a comparative offline and real‐time performance analysis between common algorithms had yet to be performed. In this study, we investigated the offline and real‐time performance of nine different classification algorithms, decoding ten individual hand and wrist movements. Surface myoelectric signals were recorded from fifteen able‐bodied subjects while performing the ten movements. The offline decoding demonstrated that linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) significantly (p < 0.05) outperformed other clas-sifiers, with an average classification accuracy of above 97%. On the other hand, the real‐time investigation revealed that, in addition to the LDA and MLE, multilayer perceptron also outperformed the other algorithms and achieved a classification accuracy and completion rate of above 68% and 69%, respectively

Военная служба бояр-шляхты и организация вооруженных формирований в Великом княжестве Литовском в первой половине XVI в.

В XVI в. социальное общество Великого княжества Литовского представляло собой сложную систему, основанную на феодальной иерархии. Все важные должности в государственном аппарате занимали люди знатного происхождения. В этот период одним из привилегированных сословий являлись представители военного сословия бояре-шляхта. За отправление ратной службы они получали от господаря участки земли. Нормы отправления земской службы были обусловлены количеством зависимого населения

The Basic Data Programme – A Danish Infrastructure Model for Public Data

In the autumn of 2012, the Danish government, Local Government Denmark and Danish Regions signed the agreement about 'Good basic data for everyone – a source of growth and efficiency'. The Basic Data Programme was born, and Denmark had an official and authoritative infrastructure model for spatial information. Work has run in parallel to the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive, and although the two development works have had each their trajectory, there has been, and still is, good synergy between the two infrastructure projects. This article presents the Basic Data Programme and takes stock of the implementation of the same

Proteome analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage from calves infected with bovine respiratory syncytial virus-Insights in pathogenesis and perspectives for new treatments

Human and bovine respiratory syncytial viruses (HRSV/BRSV) are major causes of severe lower respiratory tract infections in children and calves, respectively. Shared epidemiological, clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics of these viruses make comparative research highly relevant. To characterise the host response against BRSV infection, bronchoalveolar lavage supernatant (BAL) from i) non-vaccinated, BRSV-infected ii) vaccinated, BRSV-infected and iii) non-infected calves was analysed by tandem mass spectrometry. Proteins were semi-quantified and protein expression was validated by immunoblotting. Correlations between selected proteins and pathology, clinical signs and virus shedding were investigated. Calves with BRSV-induced disease had increased total protein concentrations and a decreased number of proteins identified in BAL. The protein profile was characterised by neutrophil activation and a reduction in identified antioxidant enzymes. The presence of neutrophils in alveolar septa, the expression level of neutrophil-related or antioxidant proteins and LZTFL1 correlated significantly with disease. Citrullinated histone 3, an indicator of extracellular traps (ETs), was only detected in non-vaccinated, BRSV-infected animals. By bringing disequilibrium in the release and detoxification of reactive oxygen species, generating ETs and causing elastine degradation, exaggerated neutrophil responses might exacerbate RSV-induced disease. Neutrophil-mitigating or antioxidant treatments should be further explored
