A lack of empathy, and particularly its affective components, is a core symptom of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Visual exposure to images of a needle pricking a hand (pain condition) and Q-tips touching a hand (control condition) is an established functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm used to investigate empathy for pain (EFP; pain condition minus control co
Innovation plays a crucial role in shaping technological, industrial, and social progress in modern societies. The quantification of the benefits technologies offer in specific decision-making scenarios can foster their innovation process providing a guide in their development and diffusion. Decision Value Analysis provides metrics to assess the value of technologies for increasing maturity levels
Hanna Poddig interviewed by Sophia New. As part of the research week at the HZT-Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin we were looking into different practices and contexts in which bodies turn into shields, either by choice or by force. The following conversation explores Hanna's experience as eco-activist and the body- based strategies that she shared during the workshop.
Since the 1970s the Swedish Government has been promoting social work based on research into methods which work in practice for practitioners and patients. IN 2015, the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment (SBU), a national government instigated in the 1987, was commissioned to expand its remit, to review empirical research on social work interventions and to disseminate the results to
ObjectivesThis study aimed to develop and externally validate a model for predicting insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) hypertrophy after portal vein embolization (PVE) based on clinical factors and radiomics of pretreatment computed tomography (CT)Patients and methodsClinical information and CT scans of 241 consecutive patients from three Swedish centers were retrospectively collected. One c
In this work, we consider the problem of coordinating a collection of nth-order integrator systems. The coordination is achieved through the novel serial consensus design; this control design achieves a stable closed-loop system while adhering to the constraint of only using local and relative measurements. Earlier work has shown that second-order serial consensus can stabilize a collection of dou
This paper presents a novel control design for vehicular formations as an alternative to alignment through conventional consensus protocols for second-order systems. The design is motivated by the closed-loop system, which we construct as first-order systems connected in series, and is therefore called serial consensus. The serial consensus design will guarantee the stability of the closed-loop sy
High-dimensional problems have long been considered the Achilles' heel of Bayesian optimization. Spurred by the curse of dimensionality, a large collection of algorithms aim to make it more performant in this setting, commonly by imposing various simplifying assumptions on the objective. In this paper, we identify the degeneracies that make vanilla Bayesian optimization poorly suited to high-dimen
Since 2021, the DarkLab at Lund University (LU) and the Digital Research Service at the French National Institute of Art History (INHA) have collaborated to develop state-of-the-art digital systems and tools for the management and publication of archaeological data, including information from fieldwork and artefact collections. Drawing on the combined expertise of both institutions, this partnersh
OBJECTIVES: To report the long-term safety and efficacy of BAY 81-8973 in the LEOPOLD Kids extension phase.METHODS: Patients received BAY 81-8973 (25-50 IU/kg) at least twice weekly. The primary endpoint was safety, assessed in all patients who entered the extension phase (n = 82). Efficacy endpoints were assessed in patients without high-titre inhibitors/immune tolerance induction (n = 67).RESULT
BACKGROUND: Anterior segment ischaemia (ASI) is a rare but feared complication associated with strabismus surgery, arising from damage of the anterior ciliary arteries that run along the extraocular rectus muscles. It has been reported that the risk of ASI following strabismus surgery increases when the vertical rectus muscles are involved. The aim of the present study was to monitor anterior segm
In teaching, analogies can be used to support the introduction of a new concept or idea with reference to a more familiar one. This relies on the learner’s correct understanding of the (supposedly) familiar situation, their identification of the relevant similarities (structural relations) between the two situations, and of the limits of the similarities. Without these, analogies may reinforce or
This study investigates how tourist presence influences word-of-mouth (WOM) and measures whether authenticity significantly mediates presence and WOM in the Augmented Reality (AR) museum tourism experience. The survey data was collected from the AR-presented Palace Museum in China. The study found that presence positively influences tourists’ WOM, and authenticity positively mediated tourist prese
Det har länge varit känt att aktivt lärande, exempelvis i form av att ställa frågor till sig själv på material som ska läras in, är effektivt. Trots detta finns ibland ett motstånd hos såväl lärare som studenter mot nya undervisnings- och examinationsformer (Carpenter, 2023). I testbaserat lärande (eng. retrieval practice) utgår man från att inlärningseffekten förstärks om personen som ska lära ge
