It has recently been argued that in normal decision circumstances no systematic decision method that predicts the likelihood that individuals possess some property can be fair. Either (i) the decision method correctly identifies the relevant property (e.g. recidivism) more often in one subgroup (e.g. black defendants) than another (e.g. white defendants); or (ii) the decision method systematically
Background: Current evidence supports the use of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase in patients with wake-up stroke selected with MRI or perfusion imaging and is recommended in clinical guidelines. However, access to advanced imaging techniques is often scarce. We aimed to determine whether thrombolytic treatment with intravenous tenecteplase given within 4·5 h of awakening improves functiona
OBJECTIVE:Recent advances in AI-based Large Language Models (LLM) can transform individuals’ descriptions of emotional health into numeric representations that predict rating scales with an accuracy approaching theoretical upper limits. This advancement enables examing various open-ended response formats. We develop and evaluate formats ranging from closed to more open: 1) selecting descriptive wo
This paper showcases new research avenues made possible by applying computational methods to historical isiXhosa text. I outline a method for isiXhosa computational text analysis which adapts word frequency analysis to be applied to isiXhosa texts focusing on root words. The paper showcases the value of the approach in a study of emerging political identities in early African nationalism, examinin
Detta arbete har haft som målsättning att fördjupa vår kunskap om cellulosa och hur denna polymer reagerar i olika miljöer. Cellulosa är det vanligaste organiska materialet på jorden vilket gör att det är relativt lätttillgängligt, billigt, och miljövänligt. Genom att öka vår förståelse av de egenskaper som cellulosa besitter kan det bli möjligt att utveckla nya användningsområden, men också kvaliThis work is primary about development and application of electrostatic theory within the atomistic domain. The resulting procedures were implemented to eventually describe systems involving the cellulose molecule. A concluding remark about electrostatic interactions is the importance of moment cancellation. By inducing image moments which cancels the totality of the collective system moments, and
Glyoxal (CHOCHO), as an indicator of photochemical “hot spots”, was for the first time the subject of a differential absorption lidar (DIAL) campaign. The strongest absorption line of glyoxal in the blue wavelength region – 455.1 nm – was chosen as the experimental absorption wavelength. In order to handle the effects of absorption cross-section variation of the interfering gas – nitrogen dioxide
Legal persons have traditionally been understood as entities with legal rights and/or duties. This traditional concept of legal personhood has been challenged during the last decades: In legal practice through the global development in law where previous legal non-persons such as different non-human natural entities, non-human animals, fetuses and artificial intelligences have been ascribed, or be
Phasor measurement signals are used as only input to a wide-area power system stabilizer to increase interarea mode damping of the Icelandic system. Modal analysis and time simulations of a detailed model show that frequency difference as PSS input gives a damping improvement that is robust to drastic changes in system topology. Field data from phasor measurement units indicate high signal quality
The paper provides an overview and preliminary results from ongoing research with the aim to evolve cross-laminated timber (CLT) into the next generation of Tailored Laminated Timber (TLT). This is done by exploring innovative concepts that optimize the mechanical performance, while simultaneously ensuring adherence to circular economy principles. The current study aims at investigating the potent
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being discussed at the international level, with a particular focus on its potential to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Global Digital Compact, adopted at the Summit of the Future, calls for the establishment of international institutions to govern AI technologies. The impact of AI on sustainable development is a multifaceted
The role of anti-epithelial growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies (anti-EGFR MoAbs) in treatment-related electrolyte disorders is still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the incidences and overall risks of all-grade and grade 3/4 electrolyte disorder events. We searched relevant clinical trials from PubMed, EM
Äldre personer riskerar i större utsträckning än yngre att utveckla malnutrition. Malnutrition uppstår på grund av otillräckligt intag av näringsämne vilket i sin tur leder till obalans i kroppens fysiologiska processer. Bakomliggande sjukdomar, läkemedelsinteraktioner, åldrande i sig är orsaker som kan leda till malnutrition. Malnutrition medför fysiska, psykiska och sociala konsekvenser. Därför
Some leading science programs undertaken with Very Large Telescopes and challenges driving the progress of the Extremely Large Telescopes are discussed together with the corresponding requirements. They concern expolanets, Earth-like planets, habitable zones, formation of stars and galaxies, first stars and cosmology. A description is attempted
The underpinning idea of extended producer responsibility rules has been to provide incentives for manufacturers to design products that are easy to recycle. However, current incentives for design for recycling are limited, due to the problems in assigning costs for collection and recycling of individual products to the relevant producers. An alternative way to promote design for recycling, or to
