The anticipated introduction of multi-GHz channel bandwidths in 6G makes integrated passive baseband filters very attractive. This work presents techniques to obtain high stop-band attenuation in a compact 4.7-GHz 5th-order passive baseband filter. A lumped model of the filter inductors is derived, and a capacitive cancellation technique is proposed, along with techniques to reduce inductive coupl

This article compares the policy and collective bargaining responses in the three Scandinavian countries to the cost-of-living crisis that began in 2021. The countries are known for their coordinated and consensual response to exogenous shocks. However, Scandinavian variants of neoliberal reforms, the 2009 Financial Crisis and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged the model. The co

Recent insect decline prompts rapid online monitoring solutions with specificity for thousands of coexisting species.I demonstrate how microscopic and nanoscopic features of insects can aid differentiation of species and be retrieved with spectral lidar.

In a series of papers, we have argued that causal cognition has coevolved with the use of various tools. Animals use tools, but only as extensions of their own bodies, while humans use tools that act at a distance in space and time. This means that we must learn new types of causal mappings between causes and effects. The aim of this article is to account for what is required for such learning of

This study analyzes the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for addressing and mitigating climate change in the manufacturing sector and provides an outlook on future developments. The research is grounded in the concept of general-purpose technologies, motivated by a still limited understanding of innovation patterns for this application context. To this end, we focus on gl

The clinical utility of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOC) is limited by adverse heme oxidative chemistry. A variety of tyrosine residues were inserted on the surface of the γ subunit of recombinant fetal hemoglobin to create novel electron transport pathways. This enhanced the ability of the physiological antioxidant ascorbate to reduce ferryl heme and decrease lipid peroxidation. The γL96Y

Consider the quadratic family Ta(x) = ax(1-x) for x ∈ [0, 1] and mixing Collet-Eckmann (CE) parameters a ∈ (2, 4). For bounded φ, set φ˜a := φ-∫ φ dμa, with μa the unique acim of Ta, and put (σa(φ))2 := ∫ φ˜2a dμa + 2Σ i>0 ∫ phi;˜a(φ˜a o T1a) dμa. For any mixing Misiurewicz parameter a∗, we find a positive measure set Ω∗ of mixing CE parameters, containing a∗ as a Lebesgue density point, such that

— Infektioner i blodomloppet är en livshotande diagnos som kräver snabb behandling. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt hur diagnostiska modeller kan förbättras med hjälp av maskininlärningsbaserade prediktionsmetoder. Det långsiktiga målet är att bidra till utvecklingen av kliniska stödverktyg som kan förkorta svarstider och bidra till en minskad användning av antibiotika. — Infektioner i bloThis thesis explores the application of machine learning techniques to improve the diagnosis of bloodstream infections (BSIs) using tabular data extracted from Swedish electronic health records maintained by Region Skåne. BSIs are associated with high mortality rates, especially when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Traditional diagnostic methods like blood cultures are time-consuming and can

Den som har använt GPS under en längre tid med en äldre telefon eller en smart klocka har antagligen märkt att batteriet snabbt tar slut. GPS har dessutom sämre precision om du är inomhus eller i en större stad med höga byggnader. I detta examensarbete så undersöks en alternativ teknik för utomhuspositionering som är mer batterivänlig än GPS. GPS har länge dominerat inom positionering på grund avFor many years, outdoor localization has been dominated by Global Positioning System (GPS) and other GNSS-based methods. While GPS provides global coverage and usually high accuracy, it has its limitations. GPS has lower accuracy in areas with many obstructions, such as buildings or trees, and is power consuming compared to other localization methods. Therefore, GPS may not be the best localizatio

In recent years, a vast number of novel antiphage defense mechanisms were uncovered. To facilitate the exploration of mechanistic, ecological, and evolutionary aspects related to antiphage defense systems, we released DefenseFinder in 2021 (Tesson et al., 2022). De-fenseFinder is a bioinformatic program designed for the systematic identification of known antiphage defense mechanisms. The initial r

Objective: To evaluate radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression, development of knee OA, patient-reported outcomes and knee muscle strength at 10-year follow-up after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) or exercise therapy for degenerative meniscal tears. Methods: Randomised controlled trial including 140 participants, with a degenerative meniscal tear and no or minimal radiographic O

To address environmental and climate issues, alternative technologies to fossil resources are sought after, both for the production of fuels and of chemicals. Algae appear as an attractive solution and have applications in the food, feed, energy or chemistry at large. A study funded by ADEME and conducted by ENEA, a consulting firm for energy and sustainable development for the industrial sector,

Accurate eye tracking is crucial for gaze-dependent research, but calibrating eye trackers in subjects who cannot follow instructions, such as human infants and nonhuman primates, presents a challenge. Traditional calibration methods rely on verbal instructions, which are ineffective for these populations. To address this, researchers often use attention-grabbing stimuli in known locations; howeve

None of the global targets for protecting nature are currently met, although humanity is critically dependent on biodiversity. A significant issue is the lack of data for most biodiverse regions of the planet where the use of frugal methods for biomonitoring would be particularly important because the available funding for monitoring is insufficient, especially in low-income countries. We here dis

Background: Multimorbidity is increasingly acknowledged as a significant health concern, particularly among older individuals. It is associated with a decline in quality of life and psychosocial well-being as well as an increased risk of being referred to multiple healthcare providers, including more frequent admissions to emergency departments. Person-centered care interventions tailored to indiv

Non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPT) to predict fetal red cell or platelet antigen status for alloimmunised women are provided for select antigens. This study reports on massively parallel sequencing (MPS) using a red cell and platelet probe panel targeting multiple nucleotide variants, plus individual identification single nucleotide polymorphisms (IISNPs). Maternal blood samples were provided from

Background: Evidence concerning health care use related to virtual visits is conflicting. More research has been called for regarding the effectiveness of text-based virtual visits (eVisits). Therefore, we investigated patient characteristics, diagnoses, and subsequent health care contacts after eVisits to primary care. Methods: We conducted a register-based cohort study of eVisits to an all-virtu
