Background: Smartwatches are commonly capable to record a lead-I-like electrocardiogram (ECG) and perform a photoplethysmography (PPG)-based atrial fibrillation (AF) detection. Wearable technologies repeatedly face the challenge of frequent premature beats, particularly in target populations for screening of AF. Objective: To investigate the potential diagnostic benefit of six-lead ECG compared to

Background: After a series of standardized reporting systems in cytopathology, the Sydney system was recently introduced to address the need for reproducibility and standardization in lymph node cytopathology. Since then, the risk of malignancy for the categories of the Sydney system has been explored by several studies, but no studies have yet examined the interobserver reproducibility of the Syd

Tilt table testing (TTT) has been used for decades to study short-term blood pressure (BP) and heart rate regulation during orthostatic challenges. TTT provokes vasovagal reflex in many syncope patients as a background of widespread use. Despite the availability of evidence-based practice syncope guidelines, proper application and interpretation of TTT in the day-to-day care of syncope patients re

Recent research has revealed that low-energy offset polymer solar cells (PSCs) are capable of a power conversion efficiency of over 19%. However, it is unclear how energy offsets and the charge photogeneration process are correlated. Herein, the effect of energy offsets on charge photogeneration dynamics for Y-series molecules (Y5, Y6, Y10, and BTP-4F-12)-based PSCs with the variations of the lowe

Objective: The episode patterns of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) may carry important information on disease progression and complication risk. However, existing studies offer very little insight into to what extent a quantitative characterization of AF patterns can be trusted given the errors in AF detection and various types of shutdown, i.e., poor signal quality and non-we

Objective To assess the contemporary prevalence of, and factors associated with angina pectoris symptoms, and to examine the relationship to coronary atherosclerosis in a middle-aged, general population. Methods Data were based on the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), in which 30 154 individuals were randomly recruited from the general population between 2013 and 2018. Participants

ISLAND, A SITE SPECIFIC AND HUMAN SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BELONG (VIDEO ESSAY: 22 MINUTES)ABSTRACTThe video essay disseminates the work Eyja (island), a site specific, participatory performance from autumn 2020 performed in Hrísey an Island off the north coast of Iceland. Island is a part of an artistic research project: How little is Enough? Sustainable Methods of Performance

Objectives: We examined the temporal changes of the CSF proteome in patients with herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) during the course of the disease, in relation to anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) serostatus, corticosteroid treatment, brain MRI and neurocognitive performance. Methods: Patients were retrospectively included from a previous prospective trial with a pre-specified CSF sampl

We complete the model-independent analysis of the scaling properties of the differential cross section of elastic proton-proton cross sections, including new TOTEM data published in 2022 at √s = 8 TeV. We separate the signal and background regions with a new gating method. In the signal region, we find that the statistical significance of the Odderon exchange from the combined 7.0 and 8.0 TeV pp d

Objective: To explore associations between perinatal activity and survival in infants born at 22 and 23 weeks of gestation in Sweden. Design/Setting: Data on all births at 22 and 23 weeks' gestational age (GA) were prospectively collected in 2004-2007 (T1) or obtained from national registers in 2014-2016 (T2) and 2017-2019 (T3). Infants were assigned perinatal activity scores based on 3 key obstet

The growing season start and duration, along with other temperature-related measures of importance to premium wine grapes in Napa Valley, California have changed as climate over the western United States has warmed. The growing season start has varied from year to year with a standard deviation of about 3 weeks, but over the 1958–2016 record a linear fit to the time sequence shows it advanced by m

In this work, we present the fabrication and analysis of fully-vertical GaN FinFETs with a gate length of 550 nm. The devices with fin widths of around 100 nm reveal normally- OFF behavior and subthreshold swings (SSs) very close to the 60-mV/dec limit. Low hysteresis values indicate low defect densities at the oxide/GaN interface. The devices exhibit low specific ON-resistances at a maximum of ar

The building sector is the largest consumer of energy in industrial countries. Saving energy in new buildings or building renovations can thus lead to significant global environmental impacts. In this endeavor, building information modeling (BIM) and building energy modeling (BEM) are two important tools to make the transition to net-zero energy buildings (NZEB). So far, little attention has been

The ClimApp smartphone application was developed to merge meteorological forecast data with personal information for individualized and improved thermal warning during heat and cold stress and for indoor comfort in buildings. For cold environments, ClimApp predicts the personal thermal stress and strain by the use of the Insulation REQuired model that combines weather and personal physiological da

Exposition about the performance Island/Eyja a piece about what it means to belong; what ties a person to a community or a place and what kind of commitment it requires to be a part of something. The challenges of the island reflect the global challenges of current times. In the performance guests are invited to critically investigate their own ideas on what it means to belong. The guests are invi

A standard approach to neutral value suggests that it can be understood in comparative terms by reference to value relations. I develop some objections to the standard approach based on assumptions about value facts being closely connected to fittingness facts. I then suggest that these objections give us reasons to amend the standard approach with a noncomparative understanding. The claim is that
