  1. 1. Perspectives on Inequality and Social Protection

    Författare :Göran Holmqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; income inequality; social transfers; HIV; crime; fertility; social protection; aid; aid modalities; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The dissertation consists of an introductory chapter and four separate articles. Two of the articles investigate the links between income inequality and two increasingly salient development problems, particularly in Latin America and Africa: violent crime and HIV. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hearing and cognition in speech comprehension. Methods and applications

    Författare :Mathias Hällgren; Stig Arlinger; Birgitta Larsby; Arne Leijon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aging; physiology; cognition; cognition disorders; dichotic listening tests; hearing loss; sensorineural; neuropsychological tests; speech perception; Audiology; Audiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Central auditory processing is complex and can not be evaluated by a single method. This thesis focuses on assessment of some aspects of central auditory functions by the use of dichotic speech tests and cognitive tests that tax functions important for speech processing. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Time is of the essence in speech perception! : Get it fast, or think about it

    Författare :Shahram Moradi; Jerker Rönnberg; Björn Lidestam; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Noise; auditory speech perception; audiovisual speech perception; hearing aids; Buller; hörsel; auditiv talperception; audiovisuell talperception; hörhjälpmedel;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis examined the extent to which background noise influences the isolation point (IP, the shortest time from the onset of speech stimulus required for correct identification of that speech stimulus) and accuracy in identification of different types of speech stimuli (consonants, words, and final words in high-predictable [HP] and low-predictable [LP] sentences). These speech stimuli were presented in different modalities of presentation (auditory, visual, and audiovisual) to young normal-hearing listeners (Papers 1, 2, and 5). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Experimental Evaluation of a Microwave Imaging System for Muscle Rupture Detection

    Författare :Laura Guerrero Orozco; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Injuries to the hamstring muscles are one of the most common injuries in sports such as football, sprinting, and running. Imaging plays a key role in diagnosing and managing athletes with muscle injuries, and particularly magnetic resonance imaging is usually required to diagnose muscle ruptures. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Segmentation Methods for Medical Image Analysis : Blood vessels, multi-scale filtering and level set methods

    Författare :Gunnar Läthén; Reiner Lenz; Niels Christian Overgaard; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Image segmentation; Medical image analysis; Level set method; Quadrature filter; Multi-scale; Image analysis; Bildanalys;

    Sammanfattning : Image segmentation is the problem of partitioning an image into meaningful parts, often consisting of an object and background. As an important part of many imaging applications, e.g. face recognition, tracking of moving cars and people etc, it is of general interest to design robust and fast segmentation algorithms. LÄS MER
