III-V nanowire based neuromorphic nanophotonic circuits

Combining highly efficient nanophotonic structures into artificial neural networks hold significant promise for superior hardware solutions [1]. Well-defined circuit architectures and concepts, with limited size and clear functionality are useful to develop and verify such novel concepts. Insects are capable of amazing autonomous feats well beyond current computers, such as navigating across hundr

Psychometric Exploration of the Swedish Translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS), and a Commentary on the Validity of the Construct of Microaggressions

The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of a Swedish translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS) in a convenience sample of 267 Swedish LGB+ people (Mean age = 36.41). Testing suggested some strengths in terms of factor structure and 2-week test-retest reliability (ICC > .79). Also, internal consistency (α = .80–.91) and convergent validity we

Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Receiving a Second Rescue Valve During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a safe procedure. However, complications occur, including uncommon complications such as valve malposition, which requires the implantation of an additional rescue valve (rescue-AV). The aim was to study the occurrence and outcomes of rescue-AV in a nationwide registry. Methods: The Swedish national TAVI registry was used as the

Delaktighet i forskningsprocessen : PAR i en samtida kontext

Expectations and demands on coproduction in research have increased. Therefore, there is a need for knowledge on how these coproducing processes where researchers and practitioners work side by side during the research process can be carried out. In this article, methodological questions related to coproduction and collaboration between researchers and practitioners in the field of social work are

Politikerna struntar i klimatforskningen : 420 forskare: Regeringens politik är katastrofal – nu måste fler svenskar kräva en omställning

DEBATE. We researchers have long demanded that the government take climate research seriously and speed up the transition to a sustainable society.Instead, the government is pursuing a policy that deliberately increases emissions. Now more citizens need to raise their voices and show that we demand a knowledge-based climate transition, and it is urgent.

New technology and in-store service encounters: An analysis of coping practices and work experiences among frontline employees

The digital transformation is rapidly changing in-store service settings. This paper explores how frontline employees experience and cope with technology-related challenges. Based on a qualitative approach and the use of observations and interviews, this research advances our understanding of how such coping is performed in retail stores and how it contributes to defining employees’ work experienc

The Work of Contracepting : Young people's experiences and practices with contraceptives in Sweden

Förebyggande av oönskade graviditeter och sexuellt överförbara infektioner (vad jag kallar "contracepting") behandlas ofta som ett medicinskt eller hälsovårds- problem snarare än en social fråga. Till följd av detta, förblir mycket av det vardagliga arbetet som preventivmetoder innefattar osynligt. Unga människor i synnerlighet talas oftare om än med när det kommer till deras användning av preventContraception is a complex phenomenon with differing meanings, expressions, and materialities depending on its historical, social, and cultural context. In this thesis, I depart from the conceptualisation of contraception as the prevention of both pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and I name these practices through the collective term of contracepting.

Empowering Children and Youth through Law and Participation

Empowering Children and Youththrough Law and ParticipationIn 2023, between August the 30th and September the 1st, the Child RightsInstitute at the Department of Sociology of Law, within Faculty of SocialSciences, Lund University, was arranging a three-day research conference onthe theme Empowering Children and Youth through Law and Participation.41 participants from 13 different countries particip

MRI BrainAGE demonstrates increased brain aging in systemic lupus erythematosus patients

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease affecting multiple organs in the human body, including the central nervous system. Recently, an artificial intelligence method called BrainAGE (Brain Age Gap Estimation), defined as predicted age minus chronological age, has been developed to measure the deviation of brain aging from a healthy population us

Fermi LAT AGN classification using supervised machine learning

Classifying active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a challenge, especially for BL Lacertae objects (BLLs), which are identified by their weak emission line spectra. To address the problem of classification, we use data from the fourth Fermi Catalog, Data Release 3. Missing data hinder the use of machine learning to classify AGNs. A previous paper found that Multivariate Imputation by Chain Equations (MI

In-depth proteomic analysis reveals unique subtype-specific signatures in human small-cell lung cancer

BACKGROUND: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) molecular subtypes have been primarily characterized based on the expression pattern of the following key transcription regulators: ASCL1 (SCLC-A), NEUROD1 (SCLC-N), POU2F3 (SCLC-P) and YAP1 (SCLC-Y). Here, we investigated the proteomic landscape of these molecular subsets with the aim to identify novel subtype-specific proteins of diagnostic and therapeut

Prognostic importance of biomarkers associated with haemostatic, vascular and endothelial disturbances in acute coronary syndrome patients in relation to kidney function

BACKGROUND: Patients with kidney failure have a high risk for cardiovascular events. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic importance of selected biomarkers related to haemostasis, endothelial function, and vascular regulation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to study whether this association differed in patients with renal dysfunction.METHODS: Plasma was collected in 1370 ACS pat

Entinostat Enhances the Efficacy of Chemotherapy in Small Cell Lung Cancer Through S-phase Arrest and Decreased Base Excision Repair

PURPOSE: Acquired chemoresistance is a frequent event in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), one of the deadliest human malignancies. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been shown to synergize with different chemotherapeutic agents including cisplatin. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate the dual targeting of HDAC inhibition and chemotherapy in SCLC.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The efficacy of HDACi

Artificial intelligence in the information ecosystem: affordances for everyday information seeking

In this conceptual article, we argue that artificial intelligence (AI) systems are contributing to the generation of an environment of affordances for everyday information practices through which they exert influence on people and the planet in ways that often are left unrecognised. We illustrate our insights by focusing on the practices of information seeking in everyday life, suggesting that the

High-Pressure Pasteurization of Soy Okara

Okara is a by-product from the production of soy beverages, which has a high content of protein and fiber. Even though it has a high nutritional value, it is generally discarded or used as animal feed or compost. The problem is its short shelf life due to its high water content and high water activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high-pressure pasteurization at 200 MPa,
