Hard learning problems are central topics in recent cryptographic research. Many cryptographic primitives relate their security to difficult problems in lattices, such as the shortest vector problem. Such schemes include the possibility of decryption errors with some very small probability. In this paper we propose and discuss a generic attack for secret key recovery based on generating decryption

The prevalence of mental ill-health is increasing among young people in many developed countries, raising concerns about their well-being. Experts have pointed to several potential contributing factors, including a heightened emphasis on educational achievement and performance evaluation, as well as shifting demands in the high-skilled job market. In this paper, we study the effect of introducing

Monitoring insects of different species to understand the factors affecting their diversity and decline is a major challenge. Laser remote sensing and spectroscopy offer promising novel solutions to this. Coherent scattering from thin wing membranes also known as wing interference patterns (WIPs) have recently been demonstrated to be species specific. The colors of WIPs arise due to unique fringy

In-situ characterization of combusting iron particles is of great importance for understanding the combustion mechanism. Here, magnified holographic imaging is employed to investigate the transient morphology and dynamics of iron particles during combustion. The volume expansion behavior of combusting particles (mean diameter: 85 μm) is observed in situ. The particle volume increases to eight time

Semaphorin 3B (SEMA3B) is a secreted axonal guidance molecule that is expressed during development and throughout adulthood. Recently, SEMA3B has emerged as a tumor suppressor in non-neuronal cells. Here, we show that SEMA3B is a direct target of GATA3 transcriptional activity. GATA3 is a key transcription factor that regulates genes involved in mammary luminal cell differentiation and tumor suppr

Eye tracking has been used as part of software engineering and computer science research for a long time, and during this time new techniques for machine learning (ML) have emerged. Some of those techniques are applicable to the analysis of eye-tracking data, and to some extent have been applied. However, there is no structured summary available on which ML techniques are used for analysis in diff

The accuracy of pore size distributions (PSD) obtained from gas adsorption and cryoporometry is compromised by the presence of advanced adsorption and advanced melting effects, respectively. In order to improve PSD accuracy, it is necessary to know the extent of such effects. In this work cryoporometry and adsorption have been combined to study the onset of advanced melting effects in a sample par

Two competing predictions regarding highly dispersible clonal plants, such as bryophytes, expect levels of genetic diversity to either increase or decrease over time following a disturbance that opens habitat for colonization. Following up on previous research that found higher levels of genetic variation in bryophytes from relatively undisturbed forest sites, we examined unisexual, haploid specie

Surtsey island was formed in a volcanic eruption south of Iceland in 1963 – 1967 and has since then been protected and monitored by scientists. It is the youngest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. The archipelago is of volcanic origin, but the other islands are ca. 5 000 to 40 000 yrs old. The first two moss species were found on Surtsey as early as 1967 and several new bryophyte species w

In Europe, individualist societies, in which people more highly value independence, have fewer people who are lonely. Yet these societies also have more people who live alone, a strong determinant of loneliness. Evidence suggests that some unrecognized societal-level resources or characteristics can explain this.We uncover multiple pathways toward a lower degree of loneliness among European societ

UNLABELLED: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH) are mutated in multiple cancers and drive production of (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). We identified a lipid synthesis enzyme [acetyl CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1)] as a synthetic lethal target in mutant IDH1 (mIDH1), but not mIDH2, cancers. Here, we analyzed the metabolome of primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts and identified an mIDH1-specific

Therapeutic cancer vaccination seeks to elicit activation of tumor-reactive T cells capable of recognizing tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and eradicating malignant cells. Here, we present a cancer vaccination approach utilizing myeloid lineage reprogramming to directly convert cancer cells into tumor reprogrammed-antigen presenting cells (TR-APCs). Using syngeneic murine leukemia models, we demo

To chemically modulate the ubiquitin-proteasome system for degradation of specific target proteins is currently emerging as an alternative therapeutic modality. Earlier we discovered such properties of the stem cell-supporting small molecule UM171 and identified that members of the CoREST complex (RCOR1 and LSD1) are targeted for degradation. UM171 supports the in vitro propagation of hematopoieti

Wetlands are facing gradual drying, leading to large carbon loss due to the transformation from anaerobic to aerobic conditions, but the temperature and drought effects from the temperature and moisture fluctuation on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization remain uncertain. An incubation study with three moisture levels (100%, 60%, and 40% WHC, marked as W100, W60, and W40, respectively) and fou

We use the superfluid tunneling model (STM) to calculate the half-lives of α decays of odd-A and odd-odd superheavy nuclei (SHN) with Z≥100 and A≥250. The experimental data are reproduced to accuracies comparable to other contemporary models of the α decay of the SHN. We then apply the STM to examine the influence of the quasiparticle structure on the properties of the chains of α decays arising f

Introduction: There are multiple contributors to falls in older adults. Both health-related (poor balance, polypharmacy, and poor vision), and home-related (home hazards). However, most fall risk interventions only address one or two. The successful Lifestyle Intervention Functional Exercise (LiFE) program could likely be developed into a multicomponent intervention. Objectives: The objectives wer

ABSTRACT:Introduction / Rationale: From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing was recommended for adults 70 years and older (70+) in Sweden. From an outside view, they then became deprived of possibilities to engage in meaningful activities. However, as meaning is highly subjective, we need to listen to older adults’ voices to really know.Objectives: To explore how adults 70+ exper

Havs- och vattenmyndigheten har föreslagit att svenskt demersalt fiske (fiske efter bottennära arter som räka, kräfta, torsk) ska regleras med överlåtbara fiskerättigheter. En förväntad effekt av detta är en koncentration av fisket till färre men större företag. Illustrativa exempel från isländskt fiske och det svenska pelagiska fisket (sill, skarpsill, makrill) som förvaltas med liknande system v
