Photonics-based approaches to neuromorphic hardware offer advantages in speed and connectivity but often suffer from large device footprints.[1] Here, we present an ultra-compact artificial neuron built from semiconductor nanowires. A scanning electron micrograph of the nanowire device is presented in Figure 1a. Inside the dashed box, we show the neuron built from three III-V nanowires - two InP p
In this article, I explore the assigned role of interpreters in journalism training programmes in Vietnam, focusing on two media aid projects funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida): the Local Radio Project and the Further Training of Journalists programme. The study is based on qualitative analyses of project documentation and interviews with former trainers. A t
BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M
Objectives: Both depression and suicidal behaviour have been associated with neuroinflammation. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a protein involved in microglial activation, has been linked to pro-inflammatory cytokines and the severity of depressive symptoms. The extent to which peripheral levels of Gal-3 reflect neuroinflammation is unknown, as is the relationship between Gal-3 and suicidality. Methods: Bloo
Earlier treatment of breast cancer results in better survival. Screening enables this through detection of tumors before they cause symptoms. On the negative side, some tumors if not detected through screening would not cause symptoms, leading to overdiagnosis. Improvements in image quality allow even earlier detection and diagnosis of even smaller tumors at an even earlier stage. This study aims
Background: Palliative care needs in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are expected to increase. For the planning of equitable palliative care, it is important to understand where people with CVD die. The aim was to examine trends in place of death, associated factors including utilization of specialized palliative services, and to what extent longitudinal development is influenced by na
Static analysis tools play a crucial role in software development by detecting bugs and vulnerabilities. However, running these tools separately from the code editing process often causes developers to switch contexts, which can reduce productivity. Previous work has shown how Reference Attribute Grammars (RAGs) can be used for declarative implementation of competitive tooling for intraprocedural
Scanning coherent X-ray microscopy (ptychography) has gained considerable interest during the last decade since the performance of this indirect imaging technique does not necessarily rely on the quality of the X-ray optics and, in principle, can achieve highest spatial resolution in X-ray imaging. The method can be easily extended to 3D by adding standard tomographic reconstruction schemes. Howev
The term smart grid refers to an electrical grid system that incorporates a range of operating and energy initiatives including advanced metering, intelligent distribution boards and circuit breakers, load control switches and smart devices, and renewable energy resources. The incorporation of the internet of things (IoT) into the smart grid, called the internet of energy things-smart grid (IoET-S
Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at piers and abutments, including contraction scour. The design prin-ciples for bridges in Sweden, including both impacting forces and local scour, are relatively simplistic. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of extreme river flows on bridges
In response to escalating disasters, inclusive crisis planning is crucial. This study examines a specialized workshop that engaged people with disabilities in crisis planning, focusing on a simulated flood scenario. Stakeholders from disability organizations and the local municipality collaborated, including eight crisis communicators and thirteen individuals with disabilities. The workshop facili
Collaboration in governing complex environmental challenges is the norm. However, collaboration does not necessarily deliver desirable outcomes, and the importance of forming collaborative networks that effectively address the challenges at hand has been emphasized in theory and practice. Evidence for what constitutes a suitable network structure is still scarce, and the understanding of what fact
The chapter discusses the importance of the EU continuing to promote improved living and working conditions for its citizens without simultaneously risking competition between workers from different member states. The problem discussion is based on the significance of social improvements for the EU to maintain support among citizens and the challenges that arise when EU law encounters the differen
Introduction: Oxidating fat as an energy substrate requires more oxygen than utilizing carbohydrates and can be acutely increased by hyperoxia. Therefore, substrate utilization may affect endurance performance and gas consumption in divers, but previous research is limited. This study aimed to evaluate changes in maximal fat oxidation (MFO) in navy divers during training. Methods: Seven explosive
At a time when journalism is said to be facing an epistemic crisis, the Baltic Sea islands tell a different story. On Åland, Gotland, Bornholm, and Saaremaa, local newsrooms still verify their information and connect to and sustain public life. Besides being a source of information, their journalism is also part of the islands’ shared identity – and a reminder that a free press is something worth
