Evaluating the explanatory power of the Conscious Turing Machine
The recent “Conscious Turing Machine” (CTM) proposal offered by Manuel and Lenore Blum aims to define and explore consciousness, contribute to the solution of the hard problem, and demonstrate the value of theoretical computer science with respect to the study of consciousness. Surprisingly, given the ambitiousness and novelty of the proposal (and the prominence of its creators), CTM has received
Measurement of forward charged hadron flow harmonics in peripheral PbPb collisions at sNN =5.02 TeV with the LHCb detector
Flow harmonic coefficients, vn, which are the key to studying the hydrodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions, have been measured in various collision systems and kinematic regions and using various particle species. The study of flow harmonics in a wide pseudorapidity range is particularly valuable to understand the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity t

HighNESS conceptual design report: Volume II. the NNBAR experiment.
A key aim of the HighNESS project for the European Spallation Source is to enable cutting-edge particle physics experiments. This volume presents a conceptual design report for the NNBAR experiment. NNBAR would exploit a new cold lower moderator to make the first search in over thirty years for free neutrons converting to anti-neutrons. The observation of such a baryon-number-violating signature w
Roots Across the Atlantic : Social Networks and Economic Outcomes from the Swedish Mass Migration to the United States, 1880-1920
The migration of large populations has had significant importance on historical and contemporary societies. Since mass migration is a multifaceted phenomenon that significantly impacts both places of origin and destination, shaping the lives of those directly and indirectly involved, it has drawn extensive research attention. Much of the economic history literature has focused on the Age of Mass M
Ny bok i väskan till Berlin : Recension av John Kampfner: In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City
Berlin är för många svenskar ett populärt utflyktsmål, en världsstad med dramatisk historia på överkomligt avstånd. Om en sådan stad finns självfallet många hyllmeter skrivet, inte minst kombinationer av reseguide och historiebok. Senast i raden är John Kampfners 400-sidiga In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City (Atlantic Books 2023). Kampfner är en brittisk författare, journalist och
Det kluvna 1920-talet : Recension av Klas-Göran Karlsson och Kim Salomon: 1920-talet: En spegel för vår tid
1920-talet förefaller vara ett kärt årtionde med tanke på att det har många namn: det glada 20-talet, the roaring twenties, jazzåldern, cocktailepoken. Det är ett emellertid ett årtionde som ofta hamnar i skuggan av 30- och 40-talens våldsorgier och som därmed är väl värt att belysa lite extra. Det är just vad två erfarna lundahistoriker med imponerande överblick av 1900-talet, Klas-Göran Karlsson
Autokrati + kleptokrati = sant : Recension av Anne Applebaum: Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World
Anne Applebaum lyser likt en amerikansk frihetsgudinna med sin fackla väg för liberala krafter i ett demokratiskt skymningslandskap; hennes förra bok hette just Demokratins skymning (2020) (recenserad av undertecknad i Statsvetenskaplig Tidskrift nr 1 2021). Nu är hon aktuell med en ny stridsskrift, Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World (Allen Lane 2024). Den handlar om auktorit
Prognostic Value of Cardiovascular Biomarkers in the Population
Importance: Identification of individuals at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease within the population is important to inform primary prevention strategies. Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of routinely available cardiovascular biomarkers when added to established risk factors. Design, Setting, and Participants: Individual-level analysis including data on cardiovascular
New Book in the Bag to Berlin : Review of John Kampfner: In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City
Berlin is a major tourist destination, a world city with a dramatic history. Many shelf meters have been written about it, not least combinations of travel guide and history book. The latest contribution of this kind is John Kampfner’s in Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City (London: Atlantic Books 2023, 400 pages). Kampfner is a British author, journalist and documentary maker with a

In situ assembly of an injectable cardiac stimulator
Without intervention, cardiac arrhythmias pose a risk of fatality. However, timely intervention can be challenging in environments where transporting a large, heavy defibrillator is impractical, or emergency surgery to implant cardiac stimulation devices is not feasible. Here, we introduce an injectable cardiac stimulator, a syringe loaded with a nanoparticle solution comprising a conductive polym
Rehabilitation at Home With the Development of a Sustainable Model Placing the Person's Needs and Environment at Heart : Protocol for a Multimethod Project
BACKGROUND: Each year, more than 1.5 million people in Europe have a stroke, and many experience disabilities leading to activity and participation restrictions. Home-based rehabilitation is the recommended approach for stroke rehabilitation, in line with the international shift to integrated care. Despite this, rehabilitation often focuses on the person's physical functions, not the whole life si
Integrative multi-omics analyses to identify the genetic and functional mechanisms underlying ovarian cancer risk regions
To identify credible causal risk variants (CCVs) associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we performed genome-wide association analysis for 470,825 genotyped and 10,163,797 imputed SNPs in 25,981 EOC cases and 105,724 controls of European origin. We identified five histotype-specific EOC risk regions (p value
Search for Bc+→π+μ+μ- decays and measurement of the branching fraction ratio B(Bc+→ψ(2S)π+)/B(Bc+→J/ψπ+)
The first search for nonresonant Bc+→π+μ+μ- decays is reported. The analysis uses proton–proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb-1. No evidence for an excess of signal events over background is observed and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction ratio B(Bc+→π+μ+μ-)/B(Bc+→J/ψπ+)
A model-independent measurement of the CKM angle γ in partially reconstructed B± → D*h± decays with D → KS0h+h− (h = π, K)
A measurement of CP-violating observables in B± → D*K± and B± → D*π± decays is made where the photon or neutral pion from the D*→ Dγ or D*→ Dπ0 decay is not reconstructed. The D meson is reconstructed in the self-conjugate decay modes, D → KS0π+π− or D → KS0K+K−. The distribution of signal yields in the D decay phase space is analysed in a model-independent way. The measurement uses a data sample
Artificial intelligence and its ‘slow violence’ to human rights
Human rights concerns in relation to the impacts brought forth by artificial intelligence (‘AI’) have revolved around examining how it affects specific rights, such as the right to privacy, non-discrimination and freedom of expression. However, this article argues that the effects go deeper, potentially challenging the foundational assumptions of key concepts and normative justifications of the hu
Stakeholder satisfaction with corporate conflict engagement actions : Exploring the effects of goodwill, trust, and value alignment
In the last decade, businesses have played an increasingly significant role in promoting stability, democracy, and human rights, particularly concerning the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which emphasize peace, justice, and strong institutions. Consequently, there has been a greater focus on corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship. Research has explored business mo
