Disparities in colorectal cancer between Northern and SouthernSweden–a report from the new RISK North database

Background: Geographic cancer health disparities have been reported in Sweden. The disparities are not fully understood, but may be attributed to differences in exposure to risk factors as well as differences in health care, socioeconomics and demography. The aim of this study was to describe the new nationwide population based RISK North database and its potential by analysing health disparities

Enhanced constraints on the interior composition and structure of terrestrial exoplanets

Exoplanet interior modelling usually makes the assumption that the elemental abundances of a planet are identical to those of its host star. Host stellar abundances are good proxies of planetary abundances, but only for refractory elements. This is particularly true for terrestrial planets, as evidenced by the relative differences in bulk chemical composition between the Sun and the Earth and othe

Cumulative inhibition in neural networks

We show how a multi-resolution network can model the development of acuity and coarse-to-fine processing in the mammalian visual cortex. The network adapts to input statistics in an unsupervised manner, and learns a coarse-to-fine representation by using cumulative inhibition of nodes within a network layer. We show that a system of such layers can represent input by hierarchically composing large

Biopolitical Borders and the State of Exception in the European Migration 'Crisis'

In this article I examine the current European refugee ‘crisis’ by challenging, from a theoretical perspective, the way in which the European Union (EU) has used the increased number of deaths in the Mediterranean as an opportunity to frame recent migration flows as an emergency which, by definition, can only be addressed through the adoption of exceptional measures. Throughout the article, I enga
