In order to avoid extensive machine learning models selection and optimizations, Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) has arisen as a practical and efficient way to apply machine learning to many different application areas. Data poisoning is a real threat to the accuracy of machine learning models in different settings, and it has in recent research studies been shown that the usage of AutoML can
Background: Expanding access to self-management via Digital Health Technologies may supplement traditional care, mitigating pressures on primary care through self-management. Primary Care Physicians (PCP) can play a critical role in the integration of digital health technologies into patient care, but it is unclear what factors influence PCPs’ recommendation of such technologies. Aims: To identify
Full-duplex (FD) communication improves spectral efficiency by allowing simultaneous transmission and reception on the same frequency band. This paper analyzes a two-tier network consisting of macrocells and picocells, where base stations (BSs) operate in FD mode while users operate in half-duplex (HD) mode. However, interference remains a major challenge in these systems, significantly impacting
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are becoming increasingly popular in traction applications. PMSMs have gained popularity due to their efficiency, compactness and excellent features related to control. This is mainly because of the permanent magnet placement in the rotor, which negates any additional rotor excitation, hence reducing energy losses considerably. This makes them more effic
Background and objective: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an evolving diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. There is a need to harmonise existing guidelines and reporting recommendations for PSMA PET/CT. The Standardised PSMA PET/CT Analysis and Reporting Consensus (SPARC) project aims to consolidate classifications and recommen
Federated Learning (FL) enables decentralized training of neural networks across multiple hospitals or patients while preserving data privacy. However, FL schemes typically assume data is independent and identically distributed (IID) while healthcare data can be highly heterogeneous. To address this, we propose Interpretable Personalized Federated Learning (IPFL), a novel framework that allows pat
Wall-bounded turbulent flows are central to a wide range of engineering applications, where surface roughness can significantly influence both frictional drag and convective heat transfer. While the momentum effects of roughness have been significantly advanced in the literature, the thermal counter parts remain insufficiently understood. This study addresses the critical gap in understanding roug
In this study, we investigate integrating eye tracking with auditory attention decoding (AAD) using portable EEG devices, specifically a mobile EEG cap and cEEGrid, in a preliminary analysis with a single participant. A novel audiovisual dataset was collected using a mobile EEG system designed to simulate real-life listening environments. Our study has two main objectives: (1) to use eye tracking
Probed language-based assessments, where individuals describe their states using open-ended responses analyzed with Artificial Intelligence, have shown great promise for written language. But emotions are also conveyed through spoken language which might provide further assessment power to this method. Participants (N=645) were randomly assigned to watch a video clip of a church, shopping mall, or
Background: Decades of progress in care and treatment for congenital heart disease (CHD) has gradually shifted the research focus from initial survival to long-term prognosis and the ageing of adults with CHD. Knowledge about the ageing adult with CHD will guide interventions to safeguard the quality of life across the life course. The present study compares the prevalence of frailty and cognitive
Background: The role of cystectomy in synchronous oligometastatic bladder cancer is unclear. Objective: To describe a population-based consecutive cohort with primary oligometastatic bladder cancer (M1a or M1b) treated with curative intent. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with primary stage M1a or M1b bladder cancer subjected to induction chemotherapy and radical cystectomy 2013–2024 in the S
Drawing upon meticulous ethnographic analysis and unique data sources, this book dissects the multifaceted challenges and occasional victories encountered by both educators and detained youth in Sweden. Originally published in Swedish, this book provides fresh insights into a crucial aspect of youth care and education. Theoretical underpinnings draw from ethnomethodology’s focus on members’ accoun
OBJECTIVE: To synthesise evidence related to the dissemination and implementation (D&I) of injury prevention interventions for female, woman and/or girl (female/woman/girl) athletes.DESIGN: Scoping review.DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, Cochrane Databases for Systematic Review, Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials Registry, EMBASE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, ERIC, ProQuest Dissertati
BackgroundAmyloid-β peptides (Aβ) applied to Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain bind to amyloid plaques (APs) and this binding is saturable. Meanwhile, anti-immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies label APs. Considering the saturable binding of Aβ to APs and the localization of IgGs in APs, specific binding proteins (BPs) for the applied Aβ could be anti-Aβ IgG antibodies (anti-AβAbs) in APs.ObjectiveOur ob
The maximum drawdown of a stochastic process is the largest peak-to-troughdecline observed over a given horizon [0, T]. Using arguments from extremevalue theory, we derive the limiting distribution of the maximum drawdown fora Brownian motion with positive drift as T → ∞. We show that, after suitablecentering and scaling, the maximum drawdown converges in distribution to theGumbel law.
IntroductionEquitable access to maternal and reproductive health (MRH) services remains a major challenge in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs), including Zambia. Despite health system reforms such as the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and family planning (FP) communication strategies, disparities persist, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. This t
Background: In 2015, a proton therapy (PT) facility was established in Sweden with one aim being to ensure access for all children expected to benefit from PT. Despite potential dosimetric advantages and full subsidisation, PT is not always selected. This study explores reasons for choosing alternative radiotherapy (RT) modalities in a paediatric population. Material and methods: RT courses delive
Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by isothiazolinones is a growing concern, particularly in consumer products. Octylisothiazolinone (OIT) is a potent sensitiser and commonly used as a preservative in rubbers, plastics and coatings, including those found in headphones. Despite increasing regulations on isothiazolinones in cosmetics, their presence in wearable devices remains unde
It has been a century since the birth of philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-95). At his friend’s expense, Michel Foucault once joked, saying that un jour ce siecle sera peut-etre deleuzien: “perhaps one day this century will be known as Deleuzian?” Is there truth to the notion that the present moment expresses something of a “Deleuzian aeon” for the humanities, and what are its ramifications for bib
