The EU AI Act aims to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in a way that balances innovation and protection from harms, but faces the challenge of keeping pace with the development of AI. This paper examines the tension between fixity and flexibility when regulating AI in the EU by drawing on literature on the pacing problem and anticipatory governance, contrasted by sociolegal theory on the impo
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits. Extensive diagnostic testing is often performed to identify acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but only about 10% of patients ultimately receive an ACS diagnosis. These diagnostic processes are costly, time-consuming, and sometimes invasive, carrying inherent risks. Additionally, most patients with suspected ACS are adm
This paper deals with the centroid and formation control problem of multi–agent robotic systems. The proposed solution is based on a leader–follower scheme, where only a subset of agents, i.e., the leaders, knows the desired trajectories for the centroid and the formation of the system, while the other agents, i.e., the followers, are required to estimate them through a dynamic consensus scheme. T
Continuous experimentation (CE) is a software development approach where product decisions are data-driven. Large global internet-facing companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook apply the practice by leveraging their massive user bases to obtain high statistical significance in experimentation results. However, companies with smaller user bases, such as small- and medium-sized enterprises
Using molten salts for etching aluminum (Al) away from the MAX phase for MXene synthesis is an attractive alternative method that allows one to avoid the use of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF) solutions. However, the mechanism of the MAX phase reaction with molten salts remains to date unclear due to the lack of in situ data. Here, we present a detailed in situ time-resolved synchrotron radiation X-r
Lean, premixed, swirl-stabilized flames are widely used in modern Dry Low Emissions gas turbine combustors; however, the turbulent combustion process under those conditions is known to be extremely sensitive and prone to instabilities. Numerical simulations can be a valuable tool in predicting the effects of alternative fuels; however, the sensitivity of the results to different models ought to be
The minimal SO(10) grand unified theory, augmented by higher-dimensional operators, is based on the following Higgs representations: adjoint 45H, spinor 16H, and complex vector 10H. It was recently realized that, as opposed to the conventional wisdom, any intermediate mass scale has to lie close to the grand unification one. This bears profound consequences for the scalar particles mass spectrum a
We report on recent developments that enable megahertz hard X-ray phase contrast imaging (MHz XPCI) experiments at the Single Particles, Clusters, and Biomolecules and Serial Femtosecond Crystallography (SPB/SFX) instrument of the European XFEL facility (EuXFEL). We describe the technical implementation of the key components, including an MHz fast camera and a modular indirect X-ray microscope sys
Past results suggest that fear extinction and the return of extinguished fear are compromised in adolescents. However, findings have been inconclusive as there is a lack of fear extinction and extinction retention studies including children, adolescents and adults. In the present study, 36 children (6–9 years), 40 adolescents (13–17 years) and 44 adults (30–40 years), underwent a two-day fear cond
The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of porcine pancreatic enzymes (Creon® pancrelipase) in comparison to microbial-derived alpha amylase (MD amylase) on the small intestine wall structure, mucosal glycogen accumulation, and enterocyte turnover. The impact of enzyme supplementation on the small intestine was explored in 18 pigs with surgically induced exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
It is plausible that in the future synthetic DNA (synDNA) technology could enable the creation of non-viable embryos for research, potentially bypassing ethical objections to embryo experimentation. This article explores how the technology might work, the ethical concerns it might mitigate, and the challenges that remain.
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced leaders and employees in health care services to take difficult decisions to manage risks associated with employee health and the organizations’ functioning. This study aims to identify the changes in employee working routines, job demands, and job resources within Swedish maternal healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these changes affected wo
We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of families with heritable TP53-related cancer (hTP53rc) syndrome in Sweden with class 4 and 5 germline TP53 variants (gTP53), and to evaluate the genotype-phenotype correlation. These results were also used to evaluate our previously published phenotype prediction model based on TP53 missense variants and their impact on protein conformation. 90 f
Aging profoundly affects the immune system leading to an increased propensity for inflammation. Age-related dysregulation of immune cells is implicated in the development and progression of numerous age-related diseases such as: cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. Monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages, being important players in the inflammatory resp
Background and Aims The long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel disease remain debated. Methods The Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry
