Background and aim: Telomere length (TL) is a key biomarker of cellular aging, with shorter telomeres associated with age-related diseases. Lifestyle interventions mitigating telomere shortening are essential for preventing such conditions. This study aimed to examine the effects of two weight loss dietary strategies, based on a moderately high-protein (MHP) diet and a low-fat (LF) diet on TL in i

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear optical process in which extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation is generated due to the interaction of an intense laser field with atoms. This process enables the production of high harmonics, which would not be achieved with standard nonlinear media. The utilization of two-color laser fields (formed by combining a fundamental field with one

Klimatförändringar är antagligen en av de största utmaningarna i modern tid, där förhöjda halter av växthusgaser i atmosfären har förödande konsekvenser på jordens livsuppehållande system. Koldioxid är ansedd som den mest utsläppta växthusgasen, vilket har lett till ett ökat intresse för koldioxidinfångning. Ett sätt för att minska de förhöjda halterna av koldioxid i atmosfären är genom koldioxidiWith climate change being one of the greatest challenges of our time, interest in carbon dioxide removal and mitigation has increased, as a way of minimizing emissions. As a result, carbon capture has become a key focus in the industry. One of the most common chemical absorption techniques is carbon capture using hot potassium carbonate (HPC). This process operates at an elevated absorber pressure

Background: National stroke clinical quality registries/audits support improvements in stroke care. In a 2016 systematic review, 28 registries were identified. Since 2016 there have been important advances in stroke care, including the development of thrombectomy services. Therefore, we sought to understand whether registries have evolved with these advances in care. The aim of this systematic rev

Warfare has been commonly associated with increasing levels of inflation, with important implications for tax systems. In this chapter, we first review the literature on war finance and inflation, considering both the fiscal causes of inflation during wartimes and the effects of inflation on tax revenues. Second, we focus on developments in the income tax during the World Wars, building upon our p

In recent years, the electrification of buses in public transport systems has increased in both scale and pace. Today, there are several examples of how this transition has been handled in public transport, with partly or fully electrified bus fleets in regular operations in many cities.The research project e(+)bus has focused on how the transition to electric buses has been handled in six Swedish

Several studies have evaluated various ML techniques and found promising results in classifying bug reports. However, these studies have used different evaluation designs, making it difficult to compare their results. Furthermore, they have focused primarily on accuracy and did not consider other potentially relevant factors such as generalizability, explainability, and maintenance cost. These two

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied for medical knowledge discovery and to support or automate clinical decision-making. The aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge on (1) how AI experts, radiologists, and standardizers make sense of AI, in the processes of medical AI development, clinical use and standardization, and (2) how this sensemaking c

We present the building blocks of an energy-efficient on-chip platform for neural network applications based on III-V semiconductor nanowires and nanopillar arrays. These will work as emitting and detecting neurosynaptic nodes for spiking nanocircuits, as light sensors that emulate navigational properties of insect vision systems.

Code review is a well-established and valuable software development practice associated with code quality, interpersonal, and team benefits. However, it is also time-consuming, with developers spending 10–20% of their working time doing code reviews. With recent advances in AI capabilities, there are more and more initiatives aimed at fully automating code reviews to save time and streamline softw

Specular flashes from insect wings are useful for remote diversity assessment, yet their duration limits and constraining factors remain unknown. We studied this using sampling rates in entomological lidar system up to 40 kHz, resolving quick wing flashes down to 130μs duration from 40 m.

A complex and multi-layered liability structure with potentially overlapping claims on underlying collateral reduces expected recovery rates for creditors, which increases their incentives to keep otherwise insolvent firms afloat. Financially distressed firms may therefore seek to strategically “toxify” their capital structure to stave off future bankruptcy. In this article, we find evidence indic

The research presented in this paper is based on interviews with 51 employees from 51 different organizations (including private and public sectors). Employees were interviewed more than once, over a period of 6 months, each interview lasted between 30 min to 1 h. The discussion in this paper is based on interviews during sessions which were explicitly dedicated to Information Systems and Cybersec
