Recent work has shown that 8-bit floating point (FP8) can be used for efficiently training neural networks with reduced computational overhead compared to training in FP32/FP16. In this work, we investigate the use of FP8 training in a federated learning context. This brings not only the usual benefits of FP8 which are desirable for on-device training at the edge, but also reduces client-servercom
Artikeln beskriver hur en grammatikdidaktisk modell utformad för en L1-kontext kan användas för grammatikundervisning såväl som för ett språk- och skrivutvecklande arbete i en L2-kontext. Eftersom klassrummen i Sverige, Danmark och Norge allt mer blir språkligt heterogena behöver lärare kunna erbjuda en språkutvecklande under-visning för elever med skilda språkliga förutsättningar. Den modell som The article shows how a grammar-didactic model designed for an L1 context can be used for grammar learning as well as language and writing development in an L2 con-text. Because classrooms in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are becoming increasingly heterogenous, teachers must be able to develop the language of pupils with differing linguistic predispositions. The model that is being proposed is design
Oral assessment is an important method to evaluate the learning outcomes of scientific courses. However,there are certain limitations when oral assessment is applied.One of these limitations, which is not apparent in anonymous written exams, is the existence of biases which could lead to unfair (positive or negative) outcomes of the assessment. This could lead to decreased motivation and sense of
Läkartidningen 5-6/2025. Egenreferat. Dödshjälp, det vill säga eutanasi och läkarassisterat självmord, är olaglig i Sverige, men debatten om legalisering är fortsatt aktuell.Läkarförbundet genomförde 2021 en enkätundersökning om läkarkårens inställning till dödshjälp. 41 procent av de svarande ansåg att dödshjälp bör tillåtas enligt svensk lag (medan 34 procent motsatte sig detta), men endast 29 p
Background: Cortical contusions are common in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cortical contusions often expand, potentially causing neuro-worsening several hours to days post-trauma. While contusion expansion (CE) may affect outcome, potential clinical and radiological markers that can predict CE have been insufficiently explored. In the present single-center retrospective observatio
Cell death plays a pivotal role in many physiological processes, such as cell homeostasis, embryonic development, immune defence and in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases, such as cancer, infections and degenerative diseases. However, the lack of a comprehensive and up-to-date resource on cell death regulators poses a significant challenge to researchers in the field. Existing databases are of
Background Exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) can occur during occupational activities and leading lung cancer. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important part in carcinogenesis. Whether Cr(VI) exposure causes cancer-related miRNA changes is yet uncharacterized. Methods This study included 89 Cr(VI) exposed workers and 47 controls. MiRNAs were extracted from plasma followed by library preparations,
Engaging with scholarship on hegemony, park history, and in particular with Sevilla-Buitrago’s analysis of Central Park as a pedagogical space, this article traces the establishment of two parks in the Swedish textile industry centre of Norrköping. These parks, bearing very similar names – Folkparken and Folkets Park – were established just six years apart. But though both parks linked “park” and
Purpose: The need for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in clinically node-negative (cN0) patients is currently questioned. Our objective was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of a preoperative noninvasive lymph node staging (NILS) model (an artificial neural network model) for predicting pathological nodal status in patients with cN0 breast cancer (BC). Methods: A health-economic decision-ana
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (DCM) is the commonest form of spinal cord injury in adults. However, a limited number of clinical reports have assessed the role of biomarkers in DCM. PURPOSE: We evaluated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in patients scheduled for DCM surgery and hypothesized that CSF biomarkers levels (1) would reflect the severity of preopera
Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån mitt empiriska material kartlägga och beskriva hur föräldrar till barn intagna på särskilda ungdomshemmen tolkar, definierar och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de anställda samordnarna uppfattades och kategoriserades av föräldrarna. ”Föräldrar” blir i undersökninThe aim of this study is to analyze how mothers with children placed in Swedish juvenile homes interpret, define and perceive, on the one hand, the project “Motverka Våld och Gäng” meaning “Counteract Violence and Gangs”, and on the other hand the role of the Coordinators employed in this project. The mothers who were interviewed spoke about some Coordinators that they appreciated. They then pain
Attention Restoration Theory point to nature as a particularly good candidate for restoring the ability to focus and inhibit distractions. However, little effort has been directed to elaborating on what makes nature's visual pattern unique for restoration purposes. One suggested explanation is the fractal properties of natural patterns (Hagerhall, 2005). Both perception studies (Hagerhall et al.,
