The benefit of being wrong : How prediction error size guides the reshaping of episodic memories

Episodic memories are not static - they shift and reshape as our surroundings evolve. One powerful mechanism for change are prediction errors, which arise when predictions about what is going to happen next do not match the actual input. This study investigated how the size of prediction errors - arising from predictions based on episodic memories - affects recognition memory and neural memory rep

Videofeedback som tidig samordnad insats : En undersökning av Marte Meo och samordningssamtal (MOS) som förebyggande arbete i skolan

Avhandlingen bidrar med kunskap inom fältet tidiga interventioner och tidigasamordnade insatser, i synnerhet inom skolsocialt arbete. I en systematisköversikt undersöks vilka studier som utförts av videofeedbackinterventioner(VF) mellan 1990 och 2014 och om de haft önskad effekt. I likhet med tidigareforskning visar den att VF kan påverka föräldrars och pedagogers samspel medbarn i positiv riktninThe dissertation concerns video feedback interventions (VF) aimed at interactions between parents, teachers and children, more specifically children who display disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in school. To counteract early social exclusion, the dissertation emphasises the importance of fostering change processes, where parents and teachers in preschool and school play a significant role in su

Broken Infrastructures : Inconvinience and spaces of care

The authors, Gigi Argyropoulou, Ethel Baraona and Lisa Maillard, Elke Krasny and Svetlana Milevska, were invited to write new texts attempting to revisit the concept of care and its discontents. In their texts, they reflect upon understandings of the fundamental role of care, in relation to contradictions of social cohesion and social emancipation, while issues such as the Global South, feminism,

Exploring the causal effect of cosmic filaments on dark matter haloes

The way in which the large-scale cosmic environment affects galactic properties is not yet understood. Dark matter haloes, which embed galaxies, initially evolve following linear theory. Their subsequent evolution is driven by non-linear structure formation in the halo region and in its outer environment. In this work, we present the first study where we explicitly control the linear part of the e

Revisiting Type 2 Myocardial Infarction : Unmet Clinical Needs

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often the first clinical manifestation. Currently, the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is based on the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI), with different subtypes based on their pathophysiological background. While type 1 myocardial infarct

Effect of temperature on the interaction rules between grain size and reaction rate of Al-Ga-based alloys for hydrogen generation

Controllable hydrogen generation rate of Al-Ga-based on-site hydrogen supply materials significantly impacts their practical application. In many scenarios, the hydrolysis reaction occurs at elevated temperatures, which is a factor often overlooked in its effect on reaction kinetics. This study investigates the relationship between grain size and reaction rate in Al-Ga-based alloys for hydrogen ge

Assessing the feasibility and impact of clinical trial trustworthiness checks via an application to Cochrane Reviews : Stage 2 of the INSPECT-SR project

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of the INveStigating ProblEmatic Clinical Trials in Systematic Reviews (INSPECT-SR) project is to develop a tool to identify problematic RCTs in systematic reviews. In stage 1 of the project, a list of potential trustworthiness checks was created. The checks on this list must be evaluated to determine which should be included in the INSPECT-SR tool.METHODS: We at

Using a large language model (ChatGPT) to assess risk of bias in randomized controlled trials of medical interventions : protocol for a pilot study of interrater agreement with human reviewers

BACKGROUND: Risk of bias (RoB) assessment is an essential part of systematic reviews that requires reading and understanding each eligible trial and RoB tools. RoB assessment is subject to human error and is time-consuming. Machine learning-based tools have been developed to automate RoB assessment using simple models trained on limited corpuses. ChatGPT is a conversational agent based on a large

The Relative Importance of Fecal and Urinary Excretion of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid and Perfluorooctanoic Acid after High Exposure - An Observational Study in Ronneby, Sweden

BACKGROUND: Many poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and have long half-lives in the human body. However, there are limited data on the different routes of elimination. Most pharmacokinetic models assume that the urinary route dominates.OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate the relative importance of fecal and urinary elimination for linear perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (L-P

The Prediction of Diagnostic Change From Bipolar Disorder to Schizophrenia and Schizophrenia to Bipolar Disorder in a Population-Based, Longitudinal, National Swedish Sample

Background and Hypothesis: To clarify, in a large, representative, longitudinal sample, the rate and predictors of diagnostic conversion from Bipolar Disorder (BD) to Schizophrenia (SZ) and from SZ→BD. Design: From individuals born in Sweden 1950–1995 and living there in 1970 or later, we identified at least one initial diagnoses of SZ (n = 8449) and BD (n = 8438) followed for a minimum of 10 and

Risk of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma after primary non-muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer : A nationwide population-based cohort study

Objectives: To investigate the risk of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in relation to the primary NMIBC tumour risk categories, calendar time trends and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. Patient and methods: All patients with primary NMIBC diagnosed 1997–2019 registered in Bladder Cancer Data base Swe

A standardized nomenclature for the rods and cones of the vertebrate retina

Vertebrate photoreceptors have been studied for well over a century, but a fixed nomenclature for referring to orthologous cell types across diverse species has been lacking. Instead, photoreceptors have been variably—and often confusingly—named according to morphology, presence/absence of ‘rhodopsin’, spectral sensitivity, chromophore usage, and/or the gene family of the opsin(s) they express. He

A multivariate Swedish national twin-sibling study in women of major depression, anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome

Background Functional Somatic Disorders (FSD) and Internalizing Psychiatric Disorders (IPD) are frequently comorbid and likely share familial/genetic risk factors. Methods We performed a Common Factor Multivariate Analysis of 2 FSDs, Fibromyalgia (FM) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and two IPDs, Major Depression (MD) and Anxiety Disorders (AD), in five kinds of Swedish female-female relative
