The metrology of attosecond pulse trains is based on a cross-correlation technique between a comb of extreme ultraviolet harmonics generated by the high-order harmonic generation process and a synchronised infrared field. The approach, usually referred to as reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT), allows one to recover the relative phase between the

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons' knowledge and perception of using AI-ba

In Sweden, penetrating injuries to the lung and especially to the heart are fortunately rare. We hereby present a case-report on a young man who was stabbed in the right lung and heart. The paramedics arrived at the scene one minute after the alarm and instituted mechanical ventilation and fluid infusion. Ten minutes later the young man arrived at the emergency department. By then the patient was

Background: Primary healthcare providers are increasingly challenged in supporting patients with psychosocial needs. Arts on Prescription (AoP) has been shown to improve primary healthcare patients’ mental health wellbeing. The aim of the current study is to understand the psychosocial effect of participating in an Arts on Prescription programme. Methods: A total of 112 primary healthcare patients

We have measured the core-valence double ionization spectra of carbon suboxide above both the O 1s and C 1s edges. Following several core-valence cases known in the literature, to begin with the spectra are compared with the well-known single ionization valence photoelectron spectrum of this system, from which they surprisingly differ quite strongly. This motivates a comparison to electronic struc

Lignans derived from Schisandra chinensis have attracted significant attention for their diverse pharmacological activities and clinical potential. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the pharmacological properties of Schisandra chinensis lignans, including their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, antibacterial/viral, antidiabetic and anticancer effects

The proliferation of various data sources in urban and territorial environments has significantly facilitated the development of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) across a wide range of geospatial applications. However, geospatial data, which is inherently linked to geospatial objects, often exhibits data heterogeneity that necessitates specialized fusion and representation strategies whi

Perivascular macrophages (PVMs) are a specialized subset of macrophages situated near blood vessels in the brain. Their strategic positioning around these vessels enables them to perform key functions in immune surveillance and response to inflammation and injury. These cells are crucial for modulating the immune response within the brain, contributing to normal central nervous system (CNS) proces

Background: The feedback of the surveillance results to the employee and the employer largely determines the impact of workers’ health surveillance on workers’ health and exposure. We are unaware of any guidebooks or articles on performing feedback on regulated workers’ health surveillance, e.g., for vibration-exposed workers. Objectives: To identify existing knowledge of the communication aspects

Objective: To highlight experiences from a personal data incident, which occurred during recruitment for a project focused on how housing choices and relocation are related to active and healthy ageing. Results: Based on established collaboration, the researchers and representatives of housing companies planned for recruitment. Invitations to participate was distributed to persons registered with

Background: With the availability of a wrist-worn device capable of acquiring two ECG leads with a single touch, synthesis of the 12-lead ECG may be accomplished to facilitate clinical interpretation. Objective: This study proposes an echo state network (ESN) for synthesizing the 12-lead ECG from two leads simultaneously acquired using a wrist-worn device. Methods: The wrist-worn device, equipped

Individual natural hazards may be combined in different ways, leading to cascading or co-occurring effects, turning them into compound hazards. However, assessment of individual as well as compound hazards is often hampered by short or incomplete observational records of actual hazards, and records of various hazards that do not easily combine. In this study we propose an alternative way to detect

Background: Elderly individuals with chronic conditions or acute illnesses are major drivers of hospitalization, with frail patients frequently utilizing emergency department (ED) services. To ease this burden, many countries offer home-based medical services. In Region Halland, Sweden, a mobile team intervention in municipal home care (MHC) was introduced to support frail elderly patients. This s

This Perspective suggests six conceptual propositions to advance care-centric planning and governance in support of SDG 11. By prioritizing relationships, responsiveness, and collective well-being, while also integrating empowerment, environmental stewardship, and cultural diversity, a care-centric approach fosters more inclusive and sustainable cities. Drawing on selected practice-based examples,

In this paper we show that OpenAI’s Large Language Model (LLM) GPT perform remarkably well when used for title and abstract eligibility screening of scientific articles and within a (systematic) literature review workflow. We evaluated GPT on screening data from a systematic review study on electric vehicle charging infrastructure demand with almost 12,000 records using the same eligibility criter

About 4.4% of the global emissions of greenhouse gases can be ascribed to healthcare. Intensive care is among the most resource intensive specialties and the purpose of this study was to quantify the total climate impact of a Swedish intensive care unit (ICU) and identify modifiable elements that can lower the intensive care unit’s climate impact. A process-based life cycle assessment was conducte

Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) is an effective and accessible treatment for mild to moderate depression and anxiety disorders. However, up to 50% of patients do not achieve sufficient symptom relief. Identifying patient characteristics predictive of higher post-treatment symptom severity is crucial for devising personalized interventions to avoid treatment fail

Background: To compare the characteristics, functional levels, and comorbidities of children with ataxic cerebral palsy (CP), with those of children with other CP subtypes. Methods: A cross-sectional study of children with CP born between 2000 and 2019 as reported in the Scandinavian national CP follow-up programmes and quality registries. Data for age, sex, levels of the Gross Motor Function Clas

Accurate assessments of symptoms and illnesses are essential for health research and clinical practice but face many challenges. The absence of a single error-free measure is currently addressed by assessment methods involving experts reviewing several sources of information to achieve a best-estimate assessment. This assessment method is called the Expert Panel method in medicine, and the Best-Es

Accurately simulating soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is essential for carbon-related assessments. Process-oriented SOC models employ temperature (f(T)) and soil moisture (f(W)) response functions derived from specific conditions to simulate SOC responses to climate change, yet are widely applied in regional and global-scale studies. How these functions affect regional SOC simulations remains u
