Vacuum diffusion-bonded printed circuit heat exchangers are an attractive choice for the high-temperature, high-pressure demands of next-generation energy applications. However, early reports show that the high-temperature materials desired for these applications suffer from poor bond strengths due to precipitation at the bond line, preventing grain boundary migration. In this study, a diffusion b
Introduction: Access to healthcare is a critical determinant of health and central to Swedish public health policy. Sweden, like many other countries has seen a rise in precarious employment and there has been substantial research into the negative health effects associated with it. In accordance with vertical equality in health care, people exposed to precarious employment should consequently hav
Caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily manifests as respiratory dysfunction. However, emerging evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 can invade the brain, leading to cognitive impairment (CI). It may spread to other brain regions through transsynaptic neurons, including the olfactory, optic, and vagus nerves. Moreover, it may in
ObjectiveTo provide the most up-to-date data on the burden of malignant mesothelioma (MM) and the projections through 2029 in China.MethodsData on patients diagnosed with MM from China during 1990-2019 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database, including annual cases and deaths data and age-standardized rates of incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DA
Due to their natural and inherent way of capturing concurrency, dataflow descriptions of stream programs have seen prevalent usage in fields such as video processing, networks and scientific computing. They are often deployed on manycore, heterogeneous and distributed architectures. Despite robust research on the topic, obstacles still exist in evaluating the performance of stream programs accurat
This study develops a deep learning method for fast auditory attention decoding (AAD) using electroencephalography (EEG) from listeners with hearing impairment. It addresses three classification tasks: differentiating noise from speech-in-noise, classifying the direction of attended speech (left vs. right) and identifying the activation status of hearing aid noise reduction (NR) algorithms (OFF vs
PURPOSE: Several studies have indicated that broad genomic characterization of childhood cancer provides diagnostically and/or therapeutically relevant information in selected high-risk cases. However, the extent to which such characterization offers clinically actionable data in a prospective broadly inclusive setting remains largely unexplored.METHODS: We implemented prospective whole-genome seq
We provide a variant of Geršgorin's circle theorem, where the -estimates are swapped for -estimates, more suitable for the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space setting.
This commentary highlights two cross-cultural issues identified from our global mental health (GMH) research, RECOLLECT (Recovery Colleges Characterisation and Testing) 2: self-enhancement and ingroup biases. Self-enhancement is a tendency to maintain and express unrealistically positive self-views. Ingroup biases are differences in one’s evaluation of others belonging to the same social group. Th
Greenhouse cultivation has been expanding rapidly in recent years, yet little knowledge exists on its global extent and expansion. Using commercial and freely available satellite data combined with artificial intelligence techniques, we present a global assessment of greenhouse cultivation coverage and map 1.3 million hectares of greenhouse infrastructures in 2019, a much larger extent than previo
Text discussing the 40-year history of the artwork We Overfeed Our Heroes Until They Explode. Originally created as an unsanctioned stencil painting by American artists John Fekner and Don Leicht in Lund, Sweden, in 1984, the work was recently revisited by Fekner together with American artist Brad Downey as part of a commissioned art project for LundART. A central point raised in the text is the d
We live in an era that suffers from climate change issues, not least disaster risks induced by climate change. While measures, such as proper evacuation plans, are required to reduce the negative impacts of disasters when they hit, actions should also be taken to reduce climate change effects by e.g. increasing the use of renewable energies or proper urban land-use allocation, where climate change
With a point of departure in the creation of an unsanctioned street installation in Granada, Spain, in 2005 - which colloquially became known by residents in its vicinity as "El Robaperas" (English: "The Pear Thief") - this essay considers some of the central characteristics of street art. It further discusses some of the conditions under which urban environs may become places for autonomous inter
PURPOSE: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) is a standardized crisis-management intervention for individuals with self-harm and risk for suicide. This study explored relatives' experiences of BA. Relatives' perspectives may contribute to an increased understanding of the effects of BA given the relatives' role as support and informal caregivers as well as being co-sufferers.METHODS: Fourteen re
