The present study aims to describe accelerometer-assessed physical activity (PA) patterns and fulfillment of PA recommendations in a large sample of middle-aged men and women, and to study differences between subgroups of socio-demographic, socio-economic, and lifestyle-related variables. A total of 27 890 (92.5% of total participants, 52% women, aged 50–64 years) middle-aged men and women with at

This chapter aims to provide practical evidence-based guidance in the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for the design and management of authentic assessment tasks and provide a grounding for institutional policy conversations so that decisions can be influenced in a constructive learner-centric way. Drawing on the foundational principles of assessment and feedback, we critically e

From a radiation protection point of view, nuclear medicine is a complex medical specialty that includes both radionuclide and radiopharmaceutical production and patient diagnostics and therapy. The practical work with radiation sources includes a variety of procedures, activity levels, dose rates, and risks of contamination. The radiation dose to the worker is largely determined by the knowledge

Den ökade digitaliseringen av ekonomin har medfört betydande utmaningar för traditionella skattesystem, särskilt i fråga om beskattning av multinationella företag med omfattande digital närvaro men utan fysisk etablering. Detta har lett till rättvisa konkurrensförhållanden mellan den digitala och den traditionella marknaden samt mellan olika staters skattebaser. Mot denna bakgrund har digital beskThe increasing digitalisation of the economy has led to significant challenges to traditional tax systems, particularly with regard to the taxation of multinational enterprises with substantial digital presence but no physical establishment. This has led to unequal competitive conditions between the digital and traditional markets, as well as between different states’ tax bases. Against this backg

OBJECTIVES: To identify the lowest sensitivity and specificity that physicians and the general population consider acceptable for medical artificial intelligence (AI), relative to current human performance.METHODS: In a nationwide, cross-sectional survey in Sweden, 2025, random samples of 500 physicians and 500 adults from the general population were mailed a questionnaire presenting three vignett

Although deep neural networks (DNNs) are high-performance methods for various complex tasks, e.g., environment perception in automated vehicles (AVs), they are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. Recent works have proven the existence of universal adversarial perturbations (UAPs), which, when added to most images, destroy the output of the respective perception function. Existing attack metho

Background and aims: Obesity is on the rise globally, and is a leading risk factor for T2D. However, it is very heterogeneous, with varying degrees of T2D risk within the same levels of BMI. Better classification may lead to improve outcomes of current preventive and therapeutic strategies. Moreover, by elucidating the mechanisms uncoupling obesity from T2D risk, new possible therapeutic targets m

This study protocol outlines the test evaluation of the design of a comprehensive Nordic hospital at home (HaH) digital education program entitled “the Nordic Digital Health and Education” program (NorDigHE). The NorDigHE program aims to prepare healthcare professionals for healthcare provision in a HaH context. The program, developed by a Nordic consortium, spans five modules over 3.5 weeks of fu

Organizational ambidexterity has emerged as a research area promoting innovation for both short- and long- term success. Structural ambidexterity proposes dual structures and strategies to differentiate efforts, focusing on one or the other form of innovation. In contrast, contextual ambidexterity relies on behavioral and social means to integrate exploitation and exploration. In this article we h

Macroeconomic fluctuations affect corporations’ performance through demand and cost conditions. Incentive effects of performance-based compensation schemes for management may be weakened or biased by macroeconomic influences if management is unable to forecast macroeconomic fluctuations or unable to adjust operations in response to changes in macroeconomic conditions. In this paper we analyze the

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of patients with head and neck cancer during and after treatment with radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, descriptive study. METHODS: All new patients in four institutions in Norway and Sweden were asked to participate. Health-related quality of life was assessed at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12
