Syftet med denna rapport är att belysa potentialen i offentlig upphandling, för att främja ett mer inkluderande och jämställt näringsliv, genom att stärka kvinnors företagande i Sverige. Offentlig upphandling är ett betydande verktyg för den offentliga sektorn, inte bara för att anskaffa varor, tjänster och entreprenader, utan också som ett potentiellt styrmedel för att uppnå samhällspolitiska mål
BACKGROUNDDistinguishing wide complex tachycardia (WCT) as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or supraventricular WCT (SWCT) is critical yet challenging. Manual ECG algorithms require substantial expertise and are inconsistently applied, and contemporary computerized ECG interpretation (CEI) systems often return only a generic “wide complex tachycardia” label. Novel machine learning–based ECG models (So
Denna text lyfter stöd kring urban dagsljusplanering utifrån effekter på medborgarnas allmänna hälsa och livskvalitet och utifrån energieffektiva byggnader och städer. Urban dagsljusplanering kan minska vårt beroende av belysning och kan därmed vara en nyckelfaktor för att främja energibesparing och göra bebyggelsen mer resilient.
Objective. This study aimed to investigate the potential of contrastive learning to improve auditory attention decoding (AAD) using electroencephalography (EEG) data in challenging cocktail-party scenarios with competing speech and background noise. Approach. Three different models were implemented for comparison: a baseline linear model (LM), a non-LM without contrastive learning (NLM), and a
The dispersive approach to the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon g − 2 involves an integral over three virtual photon momenta appearing in the light-by-light tensor. Building upon previous works, we systematically derive short-distance constraints in the region where two momenta are large compared to the third, the so-called Melnikov-Vainshtein or corner region. We include gluonic c
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Primary objective To evaluate the benefits and harms of intratracheal instillation of corticosteroids combined with surfactant versus surfactant alone for the preventing chronic lung disease in preterm infants. Secondary objective To identify equity issues that may be associated with the implementation, uptake,
Exposure to stressors and associated hormones during development can significantly affect offspring phenotype, including social and philopatric behaviour, but these effects can be mediated by the postnatal social environment (‘social buffering’). While the effects of social buffering are well established for complex social behaviours—such as parental provisioning, grooming or cooperative care—the
Fully bio-based spirocyclic monomers with high reactivity and thermal stability in polycondensations, and scalable production from low-cost reactants are attractive alternatives to replace fossil-based terephthalate monomers. To this end, we carefully design and synthesize a dicarboxylate ester monomer with a spiroacetal structure from bio-based pentaerythritol and glyoxylic acid. Polycondensation
Metallic infrastructure, such as steel sheet situated within landfills, poses significant challenges to accurate tracking of leachate using induced polarization (IP) methods. The application of IP method is efficient to delineate leakage; however, the presence of metallic structures can cause an interference on the survey and generate high-chargeability anomalies as observed in field survey. To co
A majority of all infectious diseases manifest some climate-sensitivity. However, many of those sensitivities are not well understood as meteorological drivers of infectious diseases co-occur with other drivers exhibiting complex non-linear influences and feedback. This makes it hard to dissect their individual contributions. Here we apply a novel deep learning Explainable AI (XAI) compartment mod
A survey including 3112 responses from individual end users of wood cladding, from Norway, Sweden and Germany, was conducted with questions related to their experience and preferences regarding cladding with and without coatings. Based on these results and established scientific understanding of Service Life Prediction (SLP) of wood cladding, two decision trees were provided to guide end users in
Probabilistic models of imposed loads require adjustments to reflect current knowledge and experience. To do so, relevant data about their spatial and temporal variability must be collected. Structural Health Monitoring allows to estimate loads acting on bridges by measuring the relevant strains or deflections. Adapting this approach to buildings is not straightforward due to the increased complex
Climate neutrality of cities has emerged as a critical goal for sustainable urban development. This is typified by the mission in the European Union (EU) to achieve 100 climate neutral and smart cities by 2030. The idea of carbon or climate neutrality holds diverse interpretations. This paper investigates the dominant socio-technical imaginary for urban climate neutrality within the context of the
Aqueous zinc-bromine (Zn-Br2) batteries feature operational safety and high-energy and high-power densities, but suffer from polybromide dissolution in the cathode and the low reversibility of Zn metal in the anode. Here, we demonstrate that these challenges can be simultaneously tackled by using a fully exploited imidazolium bromide (MPIBr). An in-depth analysis demonstrates that MPIBr enhances b
Voltage decay during cycling is still a major issue for Li-rich cathodes in lithium ion batteries. Recently, the increase of Ni content has been recognized as an effective way to mitigate this problem, although it leads to lower-capacity materials. To find a balance between voltage decay and high capacity, particles of Li-rich materials with concentration gradients of transition metals have been p
The electricity market exhibits significant uncertainty arising from rapid fluctuations in prices, variations in load demand, and the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. Effectively managing residential energy under these dynamic conditions is a challenging task. Demand Response (DR) offers a practical solution by enabling the flexible scheduling of energy consumption in response to
