Bakom våra mest vardagliga livsmedel ligger en lång och fängslande historia. Varför gav sig pälsjägaren Birdseye ut på Alaskas iskalla vidder, på jakt efter en perfekt fryst ärta? Hur kunde Herbert Felix göra succé med en ketchupfabrik i Skåne – trots att det var omöjligt att odla tomater där? Här får du lära dig varför luft blev den avgörande ingrediensen i glass, oavsett om det upptäcktes av Dji
Vad är egentligen problemet med industrimaten?Allt mer av det vi stoppar i oss har vid något tillfälle befunnit sig i fabrikernas rostfria ståltankar, transporterats på löpande band, behandlats med kemiskt framtagna tillsatser och förpackats i färgglada förpackningar. Istället för gladlynta kockar eller känsliga mathantverkare är det idag kemister, ingenjörer och industriarbetare som designar, til
BACKGROUND: The plant microbiome represents one of the key determinants of plant health and productivity by providing a plethora of functional capacities such as access to low-abundance nutrients, suppression of phytopathogens, and resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stressors. However, a robust understanding of the structural composition of the bacterial microbiome present in different plant micr
Sweden succeeded in remaining a non-combatant through the First World War. However, the conflict affected the nation in many ways, for example in terms of film production and film consumption. The Swedish film industry was growing rapidly already before the outbreak of the First World War. The number of cinemas increased every year. It is estimated that there were 700 cinemas in Sweden in 1919, tw
Detta är en inventering av kunskapsläget för etiska, sociala, och rättsliga utmaningar med artificiell intelligens, utfört i ett Vinnovafinansierat projekt lett av Anna Felländer. Baserat på en kartläggning av rapporter och studier, en kvantitativ och bibliometrisk analys, och områdesfördjupningar inom vård och hälsa, telekom, och digitala plattformar ges tre rekommendationer: Hållbar AI kräver at
Recension av Peter Jacksons film "They Shall Not Grow Old"
Socialarbetare har under senare decennier ofta beskrivits som ”lojala, lydiga och tysta” men det finns skäl att nyansera den bilden. Bortsett från att socialarbetare organiserar sig kollektivt genom främst tre fackförbund har det skapats nätverk som fungerar som en kollektiv röst för socialarbetare som är aktiva på sociala medier. Denna artikel handlar om vilka frågor dessa nätverk driver, vilka f
Background: The duration of protection provided by varicella vaccines is unclear. We assessed the 10-year vaccine efficacy of two doses of a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (MMRV), one live attenuated varicella vaccine (V) dose given after one measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) dose (MMR + V), versus two MMR doses (control vaccine) for the prevention of confirmed varicella. Metho
BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis, caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, is one of the most widespread zoonoses worldwide. Efficient diagnostic methods for early diagnosis of leptospirosis are still lacking, and acute disease presents with nonspecific symptomatology and is often misdiagnosed. The leptospires pathogenic processes and virulence mechanisms remain virtually unknown. In severe infecti
Background: Although previous studies have examined the impact of slice position in volumetric measurements in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging, very limited data are available today comparing T1 and Extra-Cellular Volume (ECV) measurements from short and long axis acquisitions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of slice position and orientation on T1 and ECV m
Angular correlations between heavy-flavor decay electrons and charged particles at midrapidity (|η|<0.8) are measured in p-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV. The analysis is carried out for the 0%–20% (high) and 60%–100% (low) multiplicity ranges. The jet contribution in the correlation distribution from high-multiplicity events is removed by subtracting the distribution from low-multiplicity events
BACKGROUND: Circulating C3 has been associated with diabetes and hypertension, which are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). C3 activation is considered to contribute to several renal diseases. Here we examined whether elevated C3 concentration is associated with hospitalization due to CKD in the general population, and whether this relationship is mediated by factors such as diabe
This document outlines how to setup and run computations in parallel using Julia on a collection of remote computers, such as computers in a university lab. After the environment has been setup,Only minor modifications to serially executed code is necessary to enable parallel execution.Written for Julia version 1.0
We describe how to utilize the possibility of differentiating through arbitrary Julia codeto perform tasks such as controller optimization. The user specifies a cost function, forexample, the integrated squared error between output and reference, and constraints, suchas a maximum acceptable value of the sensitivity function. Julia performs the integrationand calculates the sensitivities of the cos
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in May 2018. The aspiration of providing for a high level of protection to individuals’ personal data risked placing considerable constraints on scientific research, which was contrary to various research traditions across the EU. Therefore, along with the set of carefully outlined data subjects’ rights, the GDPR provides for a two-leve
This study investigated the relationship between perceived indoor temperature in winter and frailty among community-dwelling older people. This cross-sectional study included 342 people 65 years and older in Japan. Participants answered questions about demographics, frailty, housing, and perceived indoor temperature in winter. Participants were grouped based on perceived indoor temperature (Cold o
