This study evaluates two different natural language processing tech-niques: the normalised co-occurrence (PMI) versus neural networks. Incontrast to most previous studies, the focus is on the context of a propor-tional representation system – Sweden –, where the parties in parliamenttend to form coalitions. We test the models by collecting data from thenational parliament (Swedish Riksdag) and usi
Context. M-dwarf systems offer an opportunity to study terrestrial exoplanetary atmospheres due to their small size and cool temperatures. However, the extreme conditions imposed by these host stars raise a question about whether their close-in rocky planets are able to retain any atmosphere at all. Aims. The Hot Rocks Survey aims to answer this question by targeting nine different M-dwarf rocky p
Advances in spring phenology (SOS) and increases in terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) are well-documented. However, the impact of an earlier SOS on the duration and rate of carbon uptake (GPPrate) during the early growing season (EGS) remains unclear, leaving the overall influence of these factors on EGS GPP uncertain. Using satellite and carbon flux data across the Northern Hemisphere,
Humans are extremely efficient in learning concepts and in forming new concepts. However, some conceptual systems are more efficient than others. One of the central tasks for conceptual engineering is to construct systems that fulfil some criteria of optimality. I argue that the methods of Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning are not sufficient. This chapter instead proposes that conceptu
This paper describes an application of instant messaging to support extended online participatory workshops. We describe the development and application of Participatory Instant Messaging (PIM) within the context of two projects in Sweden, which both aimed to integrate migrant experiences into policy dialogues and societal awareness. The projects brought together artistic practice, research tradit
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants disrupts neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ), a key neurogenic niche, yet no effective treatments exist. This work develops a human SVZ-on-a-chip model to investigate the inflammatory response in IVH and its impact on neurogenesis. Using this platform, this work examines the effects of red blood cell lysate (RBCL) and hemorrhagic cereb
In this article, I identify a key trend for demarcating the “secular” as a Western, Christian achievement. I analyze how the New Testament story often known as “Render unto Caesar” is referenced as a source for the secular West, particularly in writings by European and American conservative thinkers in the 1990s and early 2000s. My argument is that these references to “Render unto Caesar” constitu
Objectives: To assess the existence of international, scientifically validated methods for manual surgical skills training and assessment. The aim was to create a descriptive chronological summary of the existing evidence and conclusions in the included articles. Methods: PubMed and Scopus were searched twice for reviews published between 1997 and October 2023 and between 1997 and January 2024. Th
BackgroundEvidence has established that the quality of fluid balance charting is often low, and quality improvement initiatives have had varying success. However, knowledge of the issue from a nursing staff perspective is lacking and has not previously been explored within a Nordic context. This study aimed to explore nursing staff's experiences with fluid balance charting in Denmark and Sweden.Me
This book explores the meaning, practice, and significance of child participation as a fundamental human right and a cornerstone for building sustainable, democratic societies. Anchored in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it examines how children’s voices can be genuinely heard, respected, and acted upon across different contexts. Through interdisciplinary contributions from the Nordi
The electromagnetic performance of the soft magnetic core in manufactured electric machines is known to deviate significantly from datasheet values for the material used in the core. We quantify the discrepancy in permeability and losses between datasheet and physical units by calculating build factors for a typical hairpin IPM traction machine design. The derived build factors for losses are typi
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The treatment landscape for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) is evolving rapidly. Real-world data (RWD) are essential to understand actual treatment use and outcomes. This study aimed to describe treatment trajectories and clinical outcomes in a large, multicenter RWD cohort under the PIONEER project. METHODS: Eight European and US databases (2016-2020
We report on a single-shot longitudinal phase-space reconstruction diagnostic for electron beams in a laser wakefield accelerator via the experimental observation of distinct periodic modulations in the angularly resolved spectra. Such modulated angular spectra arise as a result of the direct interaction between the ultrarelativistic electron beam and the laser driver in the presence of the wakefi
BACKGROUND: The period immediately following psychiatric inpatient care is recognized as a time of elevated risk of suicide, yet little is known about factors that influence how soon suicide occurs after discharge.AIM: To examine the timing of suicide among persons after psychiatric discharge and identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with a shorter time to death by suicide.METH
Background: The global dairy market is experiencing a massive transition as dairy farming has recently undergone modernization. As a result, the dairy industry needs to improve its operational efficiencies by implementing effective optimization techniques. Conventional and emerging optimization techniques have already gained momentum in the dairy industry. This study’s objective was to explore the
Smart Firefighting is a concept that has emerged within the fire engineering and fire science disciplines in recent years. It can enable informed decision making and improved fire safety. However, its scope, definition, outcomes, and value to emergency management remain unclear. To investigate this, a scoping review and a bibliometric analysis were conducted, following the Preferred Reporting Item
Catalytic active phases are often separated from inactive ones by their appearance/removal in heating/cooling experiments. Such experiments can reveal ignition, extinction, and often an associated hysteresis. The corresponding behavior and hysteresis under rapid gas composition changes in the milliseconds regime remain largely unexplored. However, such experiments can potentially be highly rewardi
