Regaining Dominance in CIDER and Lazarus

Ensuring availability is a critical requirement for the Internet of Things (IoT). CIDER, a recovery architecture, and its follow-up scheme, Lazarus, are solutions to address this issue. CIDER introduced a new hardware module, the Authenticated Watchdog Timer (AWDT), to keep IoT devices running in normal mode as long as trusted authenticated tickets are received from a hub. If valid tickets are not

Den mångfacetterade spelmannen

Presentationen bjuder på utdrag ut en historisk genomgång av folkmusikforskning i Norden. Syftet är att gå bortom de olika teman som utforskats (till exempel fiolens och dragspelets historia eller folkliga sångtekniker) och även synliggöra de ideologiska trender som vävts in i forskningsprojekten, såväl i design som genomförande och i resultat – eller förväntat resultat. Som ett led i det pågående

What is person-centred care in Swedish ambulance service? : A qualitative exploratory study

Introduction: Healthcare in Sweden is moving towards a more person-centred approach in which patients are respected as capable individuals with unique needs. Partnership, the co-creation of health plans, and documentationare core components of this approach. The ambulance service is medical- and task-oriented, possibly placing it in conflict with the goals of person-centred care (PCC).

Using a measurement type-independent metric to compare patterns of determinants between patient-reported versus performance-based physical function in hemodialysis patients

Purpose: We applied a previously established common T-score metric for patient-reported and performance-based physical function (PF), offering the unique opportunity to directly compare measurement type-specific patterns of associations with potential laboratory-based, psychosocial, sociodemographic, and health-related determinants in hemodialysis patients. Methods: We analyzed baseline data from

Association between high versus low cardiovascular risk in individuals with corresponding unexpected absent versus severe subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, a nationwide, multicenter study

BackgroundIt remains unclear as to why some individuals at low risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) develop severe coronary atherosclerosis, while those at high CVD risk may remain free from coronary atherosclerosis.PurposeUsing Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), we aimed to identify factors associated with absence and severe coronary atherosclerosis in subjects from the general popu

Bioengineered cartilaginous grafts for repairing segmental mandibular defects

Reconstructing critical-sized craniofacial bone defects is a global healthcare challenge. Current methods, like autologous bone transplantation, face limitations. Bone tissue engineering offers an alternative to autologous bone, with traditional approaches focusing on stimulating osteogenesis via the intramembranous ossification (IMO) pathway. However, IMO falls short in addressing larger defects,

Nonlinear Wave Modulation for the Evaluation of Corroded Steel Plates Embedded in Concrete

Corrosion of steel components embedded in concrete is detrimental to the structural integrity and their intrinsic function,such as the leak-tightness of containment liners in nuclear reactor containment buildings. Detection of embedded linercorrosion is a challenging task due to the concrete’s heterogeneity and the large dimensions of containment buildings.This initial study explores early-stage d

Nonlinear Ultrasonic Evaluation for Corrosion Assessment of Steel Plates Embedded in Concrete

Den växande efterfrågan på hållbar och miljövänlig elproduktion, tillsammans med globala osäkerheter, understryker behovet för nationer att uppnå självförsörjande produktion av el. Kärnkraft, som står för cirka 30% av Sveriges elproduktion, spelar en avgörande roll i att leverera fossilfri el. Eftersom många kärnkraftverk närmar sig slutet av sin planerade livslängd är det avgörande att förlänga dThe growing demand for sustainable electricity production, coupled with global uncertainties, highlights the need for nations to achieve self-sufficiency in producing electricity. Nuclear power, which provides around 30% of Sweden's electricity, plays a critical role in delivering fossil-free electricity. As many nuclear plants are near the end of their designated lifespans, extending their operat

Sexual color ornamentation, microhabitat choice, and thermal physiology in the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis)

Common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) in Italy show a striking variation in body coloration across the landscape, with highly exaggerated black and green colors in hot and dry climates and brown and white colors in cool and wet climates. Males are more intensely colored than females, and previous work has suggested that the maintenance of variation in coloration across the landscape reflects clim

The “Pre-Rotating Dilator Technique” for Optimal Endograft Orientation in Complex Endovascular Aortic Repair

Purpose: To describe a novel technique for optimal orientation and accurate deployment of aortic endografts during complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR). Technique: After establishing the femoral access in the standard fashion, a long large-bore dilator is inserted before the cEVAR delivery system. The dilator is advanced beyond the renovisceral segment noticing the degree of axial rotation.

Continuous mapping of forest canopy height using ICESat-2 data and a weighted kernel integration of multi-temporal multi-source remote sensing data aided by Google Earth Engine

Forest Canopy Height (FCH) is a crucial parameter that offers valuable insights into forest structure. Spaceborne LiDAR missions provide accurate FCH measurements, but a significant challenge is their point-based measurements lacking spatial continuity. This study integrated ICESat-2’s ATL08-derived FCH values with multi-temporal and multi-source remote sensing (RS) datasets to generate continuous

Health determinants among participants in targeted health dialogues offered to all 40-year-old individuals in a metropolitan region of 1.4 million people

Objective: To examine cardiovascular risk factors in 40-year-old participants in the health screening program targeted health dialogues (THDs). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: 99 Swedish healthcare centers. Intervention: Metabolic risk factors and health behaviors were assessed. THDs were provided. Subjects: 1831 (62.3%) THD participants that consented to take part in the research project.

A prototype early warning system for diarrhoeal disease to combat health threats of climate change in the Asia-Pacific region

Ongoing climate variability and change are increasing the burden of diarrhoeal disease worldwide. Meaningful early warning systems with adequate lead times (weeks to months) are needed to guide public health decision–making and enhance community resilience against health threats posed by climate change. Toward this goal, we trained various machine-learning models to predict diarrhoeal disease rate

Preventing heat-related deaths : the urgent need for a global early warning system for heat

Heatwaves are the deadliest weather hazard and people and societies across the world continue to suffer from heat-related impacts. Future climate projections show a troubling increase in cross-sectoral impacts including health and economic risk presented by heatwaves. Many weather hazards such as floods and droughts already have a type of Early Warning System (EWS) or Global Alert System, but a gl

Misstaget och den intellektualistiska antropologin i Per Olov Enquists Legionärerna (1968)

The notion of error plays an important role, this article argues, in Per Olov Enquist’s ground-breaking documentary novel Legionärerna (The Legionnaires) (1968), which depicts the controversial Swedish extradition of Baltic soldiers in January 1946. In terms of the plot (re)constructed by Enquist, Swedish politicians and Baltic soldiers as well as the novel’s investigator, a kind of alter ego of t

Early evolutionary branching across spatial domains predisposes to clonal replacement under chemotherapy in neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most lethal childhood cancers due to its propensity to become treatment resistant. By spatial mapping of subclone geographies before and after chemotherapy across 89 tumor regions from 12 NBs, we find that densely packed territories of closely related subclones present at diagnosis are replaced under effective treatment by islands of distantly related survivor subc
