Incidence of Aphasia in Ischemic Stroke
Introduction: A decrease in ischemic stroke (IS) incidence has been observed in high income countries during the last decades. Whether this has influenced the occurrence of aphasia in IS is uncertain. We therefore examined the incidence rate and potentially related determinants of aphasia in IS. Methods: We prospectively examined consecutive patients admitted to hospital with first-ever acute IS b

Can Collaborative housing foster the housing-integration nexus? Tensions and synergies in case studies from Sweden and Switzerland
There is a need of problematizing taken for granted assumptions in the conceptualization of collaborative housing when attempting to link collaborative housing and social integration. What are the difficulties and opportunities that migrants and non-migrants face in accessing collaborative housing projects? Addressing such type of questions will help to capture exclusionary processes affecting old
Collaborative housing as a socio-spatial system from a critical realism perspective. Can unintended consequences be understood as causal mechanisms?
Holism, abduction and causality are ways of reasoning that can complement each other to enable better understanding of contemporary wicked problems. Current social challenges include a global housing crisis, unwanted isolation and polarized societies. Systems thinking is instrumental to zoom out a specific phenomenon in an attempt to capture the complexity of reality. It also provides a holistic v
Collaborative Housing: A tool for social integration and increased sustainability
All over the world there is a shortage of adequate, affordable housing that enables social integration and sustainability. Many individuals and households have access to housing but live in different kinds of involuntary isolation with respect to age, gender, income, culture and ethnic background. There is a lack of housing forms that can contribute to solving these societal challenges through dif
Young children’s learning about lighting and turn-off behaviour in preschool environments
In the promotion of energy efficiency in educational facilities, preschool children play an important role since simple energy-saving behaviour can be developed in early childhood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of behaviour interventions, with a particular focus on preschool children’s turn-off behaviour in shared environments. The intervention tools i.e. digital game, paper-board ga
Practical design space exploration
Multi-objective optimization is a crucial matter in computer systems design space exploration because real-world applications often rely on a trade-off between several objectives. Derivatives are usually not available or impractical to compute and the feasibility of an experiment can not always be determined in advance. These problems are particularly difficult when the feasible region is relative
Analysis of dawnbench, a time-to-accuracy machine learning performance benchmark
Researchers have proposed hardware, software, and algorithmic optimizations to improve the computational performance of deep learning. While some of these optimizations perform the same operations faster (e.g., increasing GPU clock speed), many others modify the semantics of the training procedure (e.g., reduced precision), and can impact the final model's accuracy on unseen data. Due to a lack of
HPVM2FPGA: Enabling True Hardware-Agnostic FPGA Programming
Current FPGA programming tools require extensive hardware-specific manual code tuning to achieve performance, which is intractable for most software application teams. We present HPVM2FPGA, a novel end-to-end compiler and autotuning system that can automatically tune hardware-agnostic programs for FPGAs. HPVM2FPGA uses a hardware-agnostic abstraction of parallelism as an intermediate representatio
'The digital cardiologist' : How technology is changing the paradigm of cardiology training
In the same way that the practice of cardiology has evolved over the years, so too has the way cardiology fellows in training (FITs) are trained. Propelled by recent advances in technology-catalysed by COVID-19-and the requirement to adapt age-old methods of both teaching and healthcare delivery, many aspects, or 'domains', of learning have changed. These include the environments in which FITs wor
Rihmstrom : Plastic extension of Über di Linie VII by Wolfgang Rihm
Rihmstrom is a prepared (acrilyc painting, ink and graphite) canvas (200x80cm) to be walked through by the violinist during the performance of Über die Linie VII Wolfgang Rihm. This plastic extension was created with the performance of violinist Rachel Koblyakov.
specchio di perfezione : Plastic extension of Fugue BWV 1005 by J. S. Bach
specchio di perfezione is a light installation on screen for the Fugue BWV 1005 by Johann Sebastian Bach where by the violinist during the performance plays inside the light and shadows of the installation. This plastic extension was created with the performance of violinist Rachel Koblyakov. 3 light projectors, 1 screen (300x200cm minimum)
Insurgent peace research: affects, friendship and feminism as methods
Affect and friendship change the way we think about research (epistemology) and conduct research (methodology). This article accounts for affect and friendship as feminist methods in peace research. It argues that affective feminist conversations, practices and actions through friendship can drastically modify how we think about peace. Based on fieldwork conducted in Colombia (2019 and 2022) with

Persistent Aspergillus fumigatus infection in cystic fibrosis : impact on lung function and role of treatment of asymptomatic colonization-a registry-based case-control study
BACKGROUND: Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common filamentous fungus isolated from the airways of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of this study was to investigate how chronic A. fumigatus colonization affects lung function in people with CF, to identify risk factors for colonization, and to evaluate antifungal treatment of asymptomatic Aspergillus colonization.METHODS: Data from 2014-
Genetic regulation of RNA splicing in human pancreatic islets
BackgroundNon-coding genetic variants that influence gene transcription in pancreatic islets play a major role in the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D), and likely also contribute to type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk. For many loci, however, the mechanisms through which non-coding variants influence diabetes susceptibility are unknown.ResultsWe examine splicing QTLs (sQTLs) in pancreatic islets fro
Modal analysis of CLT beams: Measurements and predictive simulations
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a prime example of an innovative product within the field of civil engineering has over the recent years attracted attention of the construction industry and engineers around the world. As a natural composite with different orientation of layers in addition to anisotropic properties of wood, CLT can be a challenging material in predictive numerical modelling. This i
Long-Short Term Memory Technique for Monthly Rainfall Prediction in Thale Sap Songkhla River Basin, Thailand
Rainfall is a primary factor for agricultural production, especially in a rainfed agricultural region. Its accurate prediction is therefore vital for planning and managing farmers’ plantations. Rainfall plays an important role in the symmetry of the water cycle, and many hydrological models use rainfall as one of their components. This paper aimed to investigate the applicability of six machine le
