A superconductor free of quasiparticles for seconds

Superconducting devices, based on the Cooper pairing of electrons, play an important role in existing and emergent technologies, ranging from radiation detectors1,2 to quantum computers3. Their performance is limited by spurious quasiparticle excitations formed from broken Cooper pairs4–12. Efforts to achieve ultra-low quasiparticle densities have reached time-averaged numbers of excitations on th

Embodying Military Muscles and a Remasculinized West : Influencer Marketing, Fantasy and “the Face of NATO”

In 2018, NATO carried out Trident Juncture, its largest military exercise since the Cold War. The event was promoted on social media featuring Lasse Matberg as “the face of NATO”. Matberg is an Instagram influencer, model and lieutenant in the Royal Norwegian Navy, with an impressive physique and Viking looks. He frequently appears on NATOs social media accounts and lends his own platform to share

Interactions of governmental policies and business models for a circular economy: A systematic literature review

Governmental policies and business models are considered key elements for a transition to a circular economy. In current literature, there is a lack of understanding on how these two elements interact and how this understanding is used to accelerate the realisation of a circular economy. We shed light on this issue by conducting a systematic review of the literature in combination with a literatur

Exploring the vertical communication chain in the light of post-bureaucracy

Whereas bureaucracy and vertical pyramid-like organization structures have been criticized for decades, most organizations still work as complex hybrids rather than full-fledged post-bureaucratic organizations. The hierarchical decision-structure and the accompanying top-down oriented vertical communication chain is still highly alive in conjunction with an aspiration for post-bureaucratic princip

Samhällsekonomisk analys av antibiotikaresistens

Research in the field of socio-economic analysis of antibiotic resistance is limited and needs to be developed. Such analyzes include calculating in-creased care costs and societal costs. According to the Swedish Public Health Authority’s calculations of future costs for antibiotic resistance, the number of cases detected in Sweden with notifiable resistance types will quadruple from 15.500 cases

Some challenges in connection with the construction of a Massive Open Online Course on ethical and societal aspects of AI

The Swedish government is at present investing heavily in making Sweden competitive in AI (Artificial Intelligence). As a part of that effort, Lund University has been commissioned with providing a series of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on different topics regarding AI, including several topics dealing with Humans and AI. As a comprehensive university, Lund University has an advantage in be

Det "rena sjukhuset": ett ledningsperspektiv : En diskursanalys av hantering av antibiotikaresistens på sjukhus

Med stöd av diskursanalys belyser artikeln hur en sjukhusledning, medsjukhuschef, verksamhetschefer och smittskyddsläkare, hanterar antibiotikaresistenspå sjukhus. En framträdande diskurs handlar om att påverkabeteendet hos personal och patienter för att skapa renhet och engageramedarbetarna. Fraser som ”Rena händer är viktigast.” och ”Tvätta dina händer.”ingår i diskursen. Den andra, rumsliga dis

Empiri och historikerns sökverktyg : Kataloger, bibliografier, databaser och Melchior Hofmanns böcker som aldrig togs upp i den svenska nationalbibliografin

Empirical evidences in the library and the historian’s search tools: Union catalogues, bibliographies, databases, and the omission of Melchior Hofmann’s works from the Swedish national bibliographyThe article considers the connection between historians’ interpretations of the past and the search tools (catalogues, bibliographies, and databases) they use to access empirical source material in libra

The Association between Neuroticism and Re-Attempted Suicide

Background: Strong evidence suggests that suicide attempters who repeatsuicide (re-attempters) may differ from those with a single attempt (singleattempters) in various clinical and sociodemographic factors. Furthermore, thereis some evidence that re-attempters may be characterized by higher levels ofneuroticism, a well-known risk factor for completed suicide compared to singleattempters.Purpose:

Vitamin E infused highly cross-linked cemented cups in total hip arthroplasty show good wear pattern and stabilize satisfactorily : a randomized, controlled RSA trial with 5-year follow-up

Background and purpose - Vitamin E infused highly cross-linked polyethylene (VEPE) was introduced in order to enhance oxidative resistance in highly cross-linked polyethylene cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We have, with a follow-up of 5 years, evaluated wear characteristics of 2 identically designed cemented cups with the only difference being the material, VEPE or ultra-high molecular weig

Proteomics profiling of human synovial fluid suggests increased protein interplay in early-osteoarthritis (OA) that is lost in late-stage OA

The underlying molecular mechanisms in osteoarthritis (OA) development are largely unknown. This study explores the proteome and the pairwise interplay of proteins in synovial fluid from patients with late-stage knee OA (arthroplasty), early knee OA (arthroscopy due to degenerative meniscal tear) and from deceased controls without knee OA.Synovial fluid samples were analyzed using state-of-the-art

Real-Time Personalized Atrial Fibrillation Prediction on Multi-Core Wearable Sensors

In the recent Internet-of-Things (IoT) era where biomedical applications require continuous monitoring of relevant data, edge computing keeps gaining more and more importance. These new architectures for edge computing include multi-core and parallel computing capabilities that can enable prevention diagnosis and treatment of diseases in ambulatory or home-based setups. In this article, we explore

Self-Aware Anomaly-Detection for Epilepsy Monitoring on Low-Power Wearable Electrocardiographic Devices

Low-power wearable technologies offer a promising solution to pervasive epilepsy monitoring by removing the constraints concerning time and location, on one hand, and fulfilling long-term tracking, on the other hand. In the case of epileptic seizures, as the attacks infrequently occur, using an anomaly detection approach reduces the need to record long hours of data for each patient before detecti

Self-triggered controllers and hard real-time guarantees

It is well known that event-triggered and self-triggered controllers implemented on dedicated platforms can provide the same performance as the traditional periodic controllers, while consuming considerably less bandwidth. However, since the majority of controllers are implemented by software tasks on shared platforms, on one hand, it might no longer be possible to grant access to the event-trigge
