Energy poverty in Sweden: Using flexibility capital to describe household vulnerability to rising energy prices

Energy poverty has been kept at bay in Sweden for the past decades owing to several beneficial circumstances. However, geopolitical pressure and an accelerating energy transition are changing the circumstances and exposing vulnerabilities to energy poverty in Sweden particularly connected to electricity price peaks. The circumstantial nature of the exposed risks for energy poverty motivates a concEnergy poverty has been kept at bay in Sweden for the past decades owing to several beneficial circumstances.

Real-Time Minimum-Time Lane Change Using the Modified Hamiltonian Algorithm

A minimum-time lane change maneuver is executed under friction-limited conditions using (1) the Modified Hamiltonian Algorithm (MHA) suitable for real-time control and (2) numerical optimization for comparison. A key variable is the switching time of the acceleration reference in MHA. Considering that MHA is based on an approximate vehicle model to target real-time control, it cannot exactly match

Understanding inhomogeneous MT (ihMT) in multi-parameter mapping of human brain: Towards larger ihMT, higher resolution, and influence of T1d

Inhomogenous Magnetization Transfer (ihMT), the differential response to irradiation at single and dual frequency offsets, is more complex than MT approaches. Expressing ihMT in terms of MT-saturation (ihMTsat) is a first step to quantification as it corrects for underlying T and B . Larger ihMTsat was observed for smaller frequency offsets, which is explained using MTsat as proxy for bound pool s

Mapping the architecture of the temporal artery with photoacoustic imaging for diagnosing giant cell arteritis

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is rapidly emerging as a promising clinical diagnostic tool. One of the main applications of PA imaging is to image vascular networks in humans. This relies on the signal obtained from oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which limits imaging of the vessel wall itself. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a treatable, but potentially sight- and life-threatening disease, in w

Speeding up tight binding calculations using zone-folding methods

Tight binding models are widely used in large scale electronic structure calculations of nanostructures. Their atomistic nature makes them flexible, but also means the computational cost increases rapidly with system size. The large number of calculations required to design nanostructures makes computational efficiency desirable. We have developed a method to increase computational speed while ret

Clinical evaluation versus magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with radicular arm pain—A pragmatic study

Objectives: Cervical nerve root compression can lead to radiculopathy in the arm. Some studies have reported low accuracy in determining the responsible nerve root in both cervical and lumbar regions. This prospective, observational, pragmatic study aimed to determine the accuracy of the clinical evaluation relative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with arm radiculopathy. M

Activating transformation : Integrating interior dimensions of climate change in adaptation planning

The increasing number and complexity of urban risk and disasters have a significant bearing on the emotional and mental wellbeing of those who are exposed and hamper their responses. Nevertheless, current discourses and approaches to increase resilience tend to focus on broader socio-economic, physical and environmental systems. This reflects a failure by the academic and practitioner communities

What story do you want to live?

What do your thoughts and intentions have to do with the climate crisis we are living in? Quite a lot, if we believe emerging science. Let’s look at how they influence not only our personal, but also our collective story, and why they are key for creating a more sustainable future.

Analytical Validation of a Novel 6-Gene Signature for Prediction of Distant Recurrence in Estrogen Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative, Early-Stage Breast Cancer

BackgroundOncoMasTR is a recently developed multigene prognostic test for early-stage breast cancer. The test has been developed in a kit-based format for decentralized deployment in molecular pathology laboratories. The analytical performance characteristics of the OncoMasTR test are described in this study.MethodsExpression levels of 6 genes were measured by 1-step reverse transcription-quantita

High infiltration of CD68+/CD163- macrophages is an adverse prognostic factor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in esophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have emerged as key players in tumor immunology but demonstrate a continuum of functional states being either tumor suppressive or promoting. Moreover, chemotherapeutic agents have been shown to alter the tumor microenvironment. Perioperative chemotherapy is a standard treatment option for resectable esophageal and gastric (EG) adenocarcinoma. The aim of this st
