This piece is influenced by the Bénard instability, a puzzle of stability that occurs far from equilibrium. Regarded as a classic case of self-organization, Henri Bénard discovered that heating a thin layer of fluid may result in strangely ordered forms. When a liquid is uniformly heated from below, a constant circuit is set into motion moving from bottom to top. When the temperature difference be

The Transformer architecture has been successful across many domains, including natural language processing, computer vision and speech recognition. In keyword spotting, self-attention has primarily been used on top of convolutional or recurrent encoders. We investigate a range of ways to adapt the Transformer architecture to keyword spotting and introduce the Keyword Transformer (KWT), a fully se
Reconfigurable scan networks (RSNs), like IEEE Std. 1687 networks, offer flexible and scalable access to embedded (on- chip) instruments. These networks are typically accessed from the outside via a dedicated test port, like the test access port (TAP) of IEEE Std. 1149.1. As not all integrated circuits have a dedicated test port, the IEEE Std. P1687.1 working group is exploring how existing functi
This paper is a theoretical contribution to interrogate and elucidate a term commonly used (but rarely interrogated) from the perspective of the economic geography field within which we work: peripheries. As researchers of “peripheries” we are all too familiar with the fuzziness and problematic nature of this term, and our long-standing research agenda is to work towards clarifying and nuancing it
Given a network of receivers and transmitters, the process of determining their positions from measured pseudoranges is known as network self-calibration. In this paper we consider 2D networks with synchronized receivers but unsynchronized transmitters and the corresponding calibration techniques, known as Time-Difference-Of-Arrival (TDOA) techniques. Despite previous work, TDOA self-calibration i
In this study, we revisit the factor analytical (FA) approach for (near unit root) dynamic panel data models, whose asymptotic distribution has been shown to be normal and well centered at zero without the need for valid instruments or correction for bias. It is therefore very appealing. The question is: Does the appeal of FA, which so far has only been documented for fixed effects panels, extends
Comparing results obtained in Virtual Reality to those obtained in physical experiments is key for validation of Virtual Reality as a research method in the field of Human Behavior in Fire. A series of experiments based on similar evacuation scenarios in a high-rise building with evacuation elevators was conducted. The experiments consisted of a physical experiment in a building, and two Virtual R
The anti-cancer potential of dipyridamole has been suggested from experiments, but evidence from population-based studies is still lacking. We aimed to explore if dipyridamole use was related to a lower risk of lymphoid neoplasms. We identified individuals with prescription of aspirin after diagnosis of ischaemic cerebrovascular disease since 2006 by linking several Swedish registers. In these asp
Introduction: Occupational balance (OB) is related to many health indicators, including quality of life. The Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11) was developed to measure OB, and to date, no Arabic translations of the questionnaire exist. The aim of the study was to describe the translation process of OBQ11 to Arabic and to evaluate its content validity, internal consistency, construct valid
There is a flourishing use of long-term analysis around the economic challenges generated by natural resources exploitation (Badia-Miró et al., 2015; Bebbington et al., 2018; Mosley, 2017).
This study presents findings of forensic inpatients’ experiences of their role in the risk assessment process. Eleven patients, recruited from two forensic psychiatric clinics in Sweden, participated in semi-structured interviews which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The analysis of their experiences resulted in the information of three categories: Taking responsibility for one’s
Objective: To study transitions from and to chronic widespread pain (CWP) over 7 years in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method: Two postal questionnaires were sent to patients included in the BARFOT (Better Anti-Rheumatic Pharmacotherapy) study, the first in 2010 and the second in 2017. The questionnaires assessed pain, number of tender and swollen joints, functional disability, health-
It is not sufficiently known that frequentist statistics cannot provide direct information on the probability that the research hypothesis tested is correct. The error resulting from this misunderstanding is compounded when the hypotheses under scrutiny have precarious scientific bases, which, generally, those of complementary alternative medicine (CAM) are. In such cases, it is mandatory to use i
