International science programme, Uppsala university, 1961-2001
No full textOn the 1st of September, 1961, an international fellowship programme started at theInstitute of Physics, Uppsala University. Fifteen fellows from 14 developing countrieswere invited to spend one academic year in Sweden to be trained in research work. Theprogramme was at that time called the International Seminar for Research and Educationin Physics. Today, 40 years later, the programme has developed from a fellowshipprogramme into a worldwide research project programme, not only in physics but alsoin chemistry, and has given long-term support to the building up of viable researchteams in the Third World. Host laboratories in the northern hemisphere, mainly inSweden but also in other countries, cooperate with the research groups in the ThirdWorld. The programme changed its name in 1987 to the International Science Programme.The programme has been financially supported by the Swedish Government throughits agencies for aid to developing countries. Uppsala University, UNESCO and IAEAhave also contributed.The development of the programme is described. In his introduction the Vice Chancellorof Uppsala University points out the importance for the entire university to beengaged in cooperation with the Third World. Ideas about the future of the programmeare presented. Some of the research groups in the Third World have been engaged in theprogramme for nearly twenty years. Their experience is presented in a number of shortarticles
Proceedings from the 1st Albaha University–Uppsala University Collaborative Symposium on Quality in Computing Education
No full textThis is the proceedings from the first AlBaha University - Uppsala University Collaborative Symposium on Quality in Computing Education (ABU3QCE), held in AlBaha, Saudi Arabia, 24-25 February 2015. ABU3QCE 2015 is a local symposium dedicated to the exchange of research and practice focusing on enhancing quality in computing education. Contributions cover a broad spectrum of computing education challenges ranging from; computer science, computer engineering, computer information systems, computer information technology to software engineering education. ABU3QCE aims to publish research that combines teaching and learning experience with theoretically founded research within the field. The proceedings papers cover a wide range of topics such as cultural aspects of teaching and learning, technology enhanced teaching, and professional competencies and their role in the curriculum and in higher education. The symposium is a collaborative initiative of AlBaha University, Saudi Arabia, and Uppsala University, Sweden. It is our hope that this symposium will highlight current efforts, and also be the starting point for discussions, and inspire others to contribute to take the quality of computing education one step further

Faculty of Science at Uppsala University : earth and life sciences /
No full text"Earth and Life Sciences forms part of a trilogy of books issued by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences to celebrate the quingentenary of the University of Uppsala. The two other volumes deal with mathematics and physical sciences and with chemical sciences, respectively."--Editorial preface
Uppsala Underdogs - A Robot Soccer Project
No full textIn this paper, we describe the four-legged soccer team Uppsala Underdogs developed by a group of 4th year computer science students at Uppsala University during the fall of 2004. The project is based on the experience from two similar previous projects. This year the emphasis of the project has been on distribution of data and on support for evaluation and reconfiguration of strategies. To support data distribution, a middleware has been developed, which implements a replication algorithm and provides a clean interface for the other software modules (or behaviors). To enable easy reconfiguration of strategies, an automata-based graphical description language has been developed, which can be compiled into code that uses the database and the lower level modules, such as tactics and positioning, to make decisions and control the robot. In addition, a graphical simulator has been developed in which the strategies can be evaluated

Additive Manufacturing at Uppsala University Hospital
No full textBackground and Purpose: Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly common in healthcare, and at Uppsala University Hospital, a project is currently underway to establish an internal 3D printing center. When implementing this technology, there are many aspects of additive manufacturing that can present challenges or opportunities. The purpose, therefore, is to examine the characteristics of internal 3D printing and analyze how this impacts the implementation process to contribute knowledge and insights, both to the project managers at Uppsala University Hospital and to the field of implementation science. The research question is: How can in-house additive manufacturing be implemented at Uppsala University Hospital? Method: Three interviews and a survey were conducted to collect empirical data. The interview candidates were doctors and engineers from Uppsala University Hospital and Skåne University Hospital. The survey was sent to 13 hospitals in Europe that comply with the EU regulation 2017/745 for medical devices. The empirical data was analyzed using a branch of the CFIR framework, the domain of “intervention characteristics,” and its eight constructs. Results and Conclusion: Uppsala University Hospital faces both opportunities and challenges in implementing an internal 3D printing center. Enablers include the strength of evidence in research as well as data and reports from Skåne University Hospital that highlight the technology’s advantages in healthcare. Another significant opportunity is the adaptability of the technology. Challenges raised include strict EU regulations and the relative advantages of commercial purchases
Uppsala University Annual Bibliometric Monitoring 2024
No full textUppsala University Annual Bibliometric Monitoring produces statistics on publication volume, publishing level, citation impact, collaboration and open access for all departments at Uppsala University. Two main data sources are used: the local publication database of Uppsala University, DiVA, and the in-house version of the Web of Science database available at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University, the Netherlands. The considered publication period is 2015-2023. The results are presented in graphs or in tables, and in the next to last section, the results are briefly summarized. Regarding the domain Humanities and Social Sciences, and the indicator proportion of publication fractions at level 2 (in the Norwegian model), the department Philosophy has an increase of about 17 percentage points from the publication period 2016-2018 to the period 2021-2023. Peace and Conflict Studies has very high figures on all citation indicators with respect to the whole publication period. The highest values on the citation indicator PP(top 10%), with respect to the domain Medicine and Pharmacy and the last considered publication period, are observed for the three departments Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology, Immunology, Genetics and Pathology and Pharmacy. For the domain Science and Technology, the four departments Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry-BMC, Ecology and Genetics and Organismal Biology all have high values on the citation indicators with respect to the whole publication period. For the last considered period, Ecology and Genetics, Chemistry-BMC and Civil and Industrial Engineering have the three highest PP(top 10%) values.This is an open-access publication distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
