Bakgrund: Boende med allvarlig psykisk ohälsa på särskilda boenden har brist på meningsfulla aktiviteter i sin vardag. Gruppen har begränsade sociala kontakter och ofta svårigheter att bibehålla en god aktivitetsbalans. Aktiv i Mitt Hem (AiMH) är en aktivitetsbaserad intervention som syftar till att motivera boende till ökat aktivitetsengagemang. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personalen som arbetar iBackground: Residents with severe mental health disability and living in assisted housing have a lack of meaningful activity in their everyday lives. Active in My Home (AiMH) is an activity intervention aimed to address this issue. Aim: To explore the experiences of staff in supported housing for people with severe mental health disability involved in the AiMH intervention. Method: Focus groups

Produktionen av solenergi utgör den snabbast växande energikällan i Europa. Storskaliga solcellsanläggningar kräver stora plana markytor och anläggs därför ofta på jordbruksmark, vilket kan förvärra habitatförluster i redan fragmenterade landskap. Marklevande vildbin är en grupp av arter som drabbats hårt i och med jordbrukets rationalisering. På senare år har intresset för en kombinerad markanvän

PLCs are the core of most industrial automation systems (IAS). Modern IAS development emphasizes hardware unifica-tion and increased software significance. Remote PLC programming boosts efficiency by reducing time and travel costs, while supporting advanced training. Using safety controllers in the example of IAS, this paper presents hardware and PLC-specific software tools enabling remote PLC pro

The aim of the research is to identify ways to build an object detector (OD) that can ultimately provide a given level of accuracy while operating autonomously in real-time on devices with limited resources. Currently, there is a wide variety of ODs; therefore, this work focuses on selecting an appropriate method and algorithm for OD by developing a prototype using a PC and the MATLAB simulation p

This work presents the architecture of a prototype software system for image preprocessing and analysis designed to support the guidance of an auxiliary UAV camera. The study begins with an overview of typical UAV onboard elec-tronics, highlighting the electro-optical equipment, which includes a navigation camera and an auxiliary camera with a narrower field of view. Automatic image analysis from

The practical implementation of object detectors (ODs) on small-scale hardware platforms faces significant computational and hardware barriers. The core of these platforms is primarily microcontrollers (MCUs), and deploying optimized OD models on such devices requires the application of specialized approaches, such as TinyML (Tiny Machine Learning).The objective of this work is to analyse availabl

The objective of this study is to develop a prototype of an electronic system based on computer vision that enhances the level of autonomy in mission execution by a UAV. Unlike a final embedded electronic system, this prototype utilizes the capabilities of a personal computer, allowing for rapid configuration of equipment, algorithm refinement, and program adjustments.The developed system includes

Our planet is inhabited by an estimated 2.5 million species of fungi, of which fewer than 10% have been scientifically described. Some of the most understudied yet remarkable fungal species are those capable of parasitizing arthropods, notably insects and spiders. Here, we explore the hidden diversity of a spider-attacking (araneopathogenic) fungus and its associated microbiome in one of the world

We face closely intertwined crises related to biodiversity, climate change, global health andinequality. Unfortunately, the knowledge that could help overcome these existential crises isscattered across millions of scientific articles, reports, policy documents, databases, andindividual datasets, far exceeding human processing capabilities. This hinders evidence-basedresearch, innovation and polic

Metastasis is the most common cause of cancer patient deaths. It is a complex process strongly influenced by the extracellular matrix (ECM). A mass spectrometry analysis comparing ECM proteins from healthy mouse lungs versus metastatic lungs has previously been performed, and the basement membrane (BM) component nidogen-1 has been identified to be one of the most downregulated ECM proteins in meta

The Nordic states have played a central role in the production of knowledge within the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Through a strong research tradition in peace and conflict studies, extensive policy development, and significant international engagement, the Nordic region has contributed to both the theoretical and practical advancement of the agenda. In this article, we examine the WPS

What is the role of deictic gestures in expressing affective valence, and can such gestures serve as an indicator of awareness in choice making? To examine this, we analyzed participants’ deictic gestures toward preferred and non-preferred picture alternatives in an experimental choice justification task. The task involved manipulation: in some trials, participants were presented with the rejected

In this issue, “25 Years Ago” revisits the article “Out of Control Because of Harmonics: An Analysis of the Harmonic Response of an Inverter Locomotive,” by Erik Möllerstedt and Bo Bernhardsson, in IEEE Control Systems Magazine, vol. 20, no. 4, pp. 70–81. Below is an excerpt from the article.

We summarize research reports from 2024 relevant to Tourette syndrome, which the authors consider the most important or interesting. This working draft aims to submit this content for publication around the beginning of 2025 in the yearly Tourette Syndrome Research Highlights series on F1000Research. The authors welcome article suggestions and thoughtful feedback from readers, who can add a commen

Teledermoscopy (TDS) offers an efficient alternative to face-to-face assessment of suspicious skin lesions. Although diagnostic accuracy in TDS is relatively high, further improvement is desirable to reduce the risk of overlooked skin cancers and unnecessary interventions of benign lesions. Image enhancement (IE), i.e. digital modification of different parameters of an image, may potentially impro

Purpose – This paper concerns an integrated life cycle assessment (ILCA) comparing daylighting retrofit solutions for an existing sports hall, currently relying only on electric lighting. Daylight quality, environmental impact and financial aspects are generally independently considered, leading to suboptimal decisions when all aspects are considered together. By taking the sports hall as an examp

The digitalisation of adolescents’ everyday lives has created new contexts in which intimate partner violence can occur. Digital intimate partner violence includes controlling, monitoring, and harassing behaviours carried out through digital tools such as social media, messaging applications, and location-sharing services. These behaviours are often normalised among young people, which makes the v

Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common in young, active individuals. It has the potential to lead to post-traumatic osteoarthritis. However, the effects of ACL injury on the bio-composition and microstructure of the knee's collateral ligaments have been poorly explored. In this study, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) imaging and quantitative polarized light microscopy (qPLM) wer

In the last decade, breast cancer diagnosis has seen the widespread application of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in screening programs. DBT involves the X-ray tube traversing along an arc trajectory parallel to the patient’s chest wall, acquiring multiple low-dose mammograms from various angles. Reconstruction algorithms process these projection views to generate a stack of slices forming a p

This paper analyses the growth-inequality-poverty nexus in Tanzania. We provide a unique long-term study covering six decades of Tanzanian independence and disentangle the competing narratives concerning growth, inequality, and poverty in the country. We do this by carefully assessing the existing–and at times contradictory–data on growth, inequality, and poverty and by introducing the inequality
