Machine learning (ML) methods have shown noteworthy skill in recognizing environmental patterns. However, presence of weather noise associated with the chaotic characteristics of water cycle components restricts the capability of standalone ML models in the modeling of extreme climate events such as droughts. To tackle the problem, this article suggests two novel hybrid ML models based on combinat

Does online campaigning foster ‘echo chambers’ and exacerbate the polarisation of society? On Facebook, Leave and Remain supporters behaved very differently. Pro-Remain users commented mainly on like-minded Facebook pages. By avoiding confrontation with their political opponents, Remainers showed behaviour characteristic of an ‘echo chamber’. In contrast, Leavers spread their messages on pages spa

We construct small amplitude gravity-capillary water waves with small nonzero vorticity, in three spatial dimensions, bifurcating from uniform flows. The waves are symmetric, and periodic in both horizontal coordinates. The proof is inspired by Lortz' construction of magnetohydrostatic equilibria in reflection-symmetric toroidal domains. It relies on a representation of the vorticity as the cross

A method for generating motion-corrected medical images includes obtaining, via a processor, k-space data of a region of interest acquired by a magnetic resonance imaging system utilizing a 3D radial pulse sequence with ZTE acquisition including optional magnetization preparation pulses. The method also includes sampling, via the processor, the k-space data to obtain a plurality of interleaved k-s

Both intelligence operatives and criminals have a constant need to be able to communicate clandestinely, circumventing surveillance efforts carried out by highly capable adversaries. The recent highly-publicized breaches of internet-based clandestine communications technology and targeted malware attacks, in combination with increasingly sophisticated methods for surveillance of internet traffic h

Neighborhood support can improve aging in place for older adults, but research on the role of public housing staff in supporting older tenants is lacking. Twenty-nine participants (janitors, n = 11; maintenance staff, n = 18) collected data about critical situations among older tenants residing in apartments in Sweden. Modifying the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) and applying a mixed-methods de

The aqueous humor actively interacts with the trabecular meshwork (TM), juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT), and Schlemm's canal (SC) through a dynamic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) coupling. Despite the fact that intraocular pressure (IOP) undergoes significant fluctuations, our understanding of the hyperviscoelastic biomechanical properties of the aqueous outflow tissues is limited. In this study,

High hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia (HeH ALL), one of the most common childhood malignancies, is driven by nonrandom aneuploidy (abnormal chromosome numbers) mainly comprising chromosomal gains. In this study, we investigate how aneuploidy in HeH ALL arises. Single cell whole genome sequencing of 2847 cells from nine primary cases and one normal bone marrow reveals that HeH ALL generall

The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies. The method was developed using a chromosome level assembly of hexaploid Wheat (Tritiu

Context: DevOps has recently become a mainstream solution for bridging the gaps between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) enabling cross-functional collaboration. The DevOps concept of continuous monitoring may bring a lot of benefits to development teams such as early detection of run-time errors and various performance anomalies. Objective: We aim to explore deep learning (DL) solutions for

BACKGROUND: Transportation noise increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), but few studies have investigated subtypes of IHD, such as myocardial infarction (MI), angina pectoris, or heart failure. We aimed to study whether exposure to road, railway and aircraft noise increased risk for ischemic heart disease (IHD), IHD subtypes, and heart failure in the entire adult Danish population, in

BackgroundGlobally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on patients and healthcare systems. A decline in paediatric visits to healthcare settings was observed, which might have been due to lower incidence of injury and infectious illness, changes in healthcare services and parental concern. The aim of our study was to examine parental experiences of help-seeking for, and care of, a sick or inj

This chapter delves into the challenges encountered by victims of human trafficking and other forms of labour exploitation in Sweden as they struggle to access social rights and justice.
