Key questions for understanding hippocampal function in memory and navigation in humans are the type and source of visual information that reaches the human hippocampus. We measured bidirectional pairwise effective connectivity with functional magnetic resonance imaging between 360 cortical regions while 956 Human Connectome Project participants viewed scenes, faces, tools, or body parts. We devel
INTRODUCTION: We evaluated differences in p-tau levels between Alzheimer's disease (AD), a condition with brain-specific changes in p-tau, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a condition associated with increases in peripheral p-tau levels. METHODS: Cerebrospinal fluid and plasma from 668 participants were analyzed using immunoassays specific for the low-molecular-weight (LMW) tau isoforms pr
Naturvetenskap, teknik, ingenjörsvetenskap och matematik, på engelska ofta grupperade under akronymen STEM, är traditionellt mansdominerade områden. Särskilt inom ingenjörsvetenskap och teknologi är kvinnor fortfarande kraftigt underrepresenterade. Bristen på kvinnor inom STEM innebär utmaningar i att möta arbetsmarknadens behov, för produktkvalitet på grund av brist på olika perspektiv i designprScience, technology, engineering and mathematics, often grouped under the acronym STEM, are traditionally male dominated fields. Especially in engineering and technology, women continue to be heavily underrepresented. The lack of women in STEM poses challenges for meeting the labor market demands, for product quality due to a lack of diverse perspectives in the design process, and for gender equal
How we teach is strongly influenced by the culture we teach in, especially what (we believe) our colleagues think is good and acceptable. Understanding the reluctance to changes in teaching practice, including fear of disapproval from colleagues and students, investigating and reappraising those fears, and starting to talk about alternative interpretations is a first step towards overcoming the in
Precise knowledge of the temperature during cutting processes is of high interest as the temperature of a cutting tool dictates the performance, and for the workpiece it controls the quality and integrity of the generated surface. For the first time, in this study, a novel technique has been developed utilizing phosphor thermometry for 2D surface temperature measurement of a cutting tool in metal
BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of work absence globally. Digital interventions have the potential to increase access to self-management support for individuals with persistent LBP.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of a digital educational program (MyRelief) designed to support self-management strategies for people with persiste
Introduction: Most cervical cancer cases in Sweden are diagnosed among women who have failed to attend screening. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of offering vaginal HPV (human papillomavirus) self-samples to long-term non-attendees as a routine in this screening program, in which non-attendees had already been the targets of several interventions. Material and Methods
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
The recognition of amine groups by ninhydrin, along with a simple mathematical algorithm, showed that di- and tripeptides derived from dietary protein are the major end products of protein digestion entering the blood postprandially. There are thousands of oligopeptides appearing in the gut during protein digestion. However, the presented study on a pig model clearly shows that peptides longer tha
We study the problems of computing the Voronoi diagram and a triangulation of a set of n2 points with O(logn)-bit coordinates in the Euclidean plane in a substantially sublinear in n number of rounds in the congested clique model with n nodes. First, we observe that if the points are uniformly at random distributed in a unit square then their Voronoi diagram within the square can be computed in O
Purpose: The sugar industry is always pressured to be suitable and enhance its operational effectiveness. Digital Twin (DT) has the potential to transform this industry. However, the lack of industry-specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) frameworks makes it challenging to implement them. This study provides a hierarchical KPI model for DT adoption in the sugar sector, interconnecting the United
This study explores how ideas of variety were created and practised among women and men of different social strata in Norway and Sweden before the big changes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Three researchers with in-depth knowledge of clothing during that period look at their material through questions they developed based on current clothing and sustainability discourse. The materi
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is commonly used in the conservation of wooden artifacts, but its presence adversely affects the accuracy of radiocarbon dating. It is therefore critical to have robust methods for the removal of PEG from heritage materials. This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to test a protocol for the removal of low molecular-weight PEG-400 from conserved wood. We
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
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
