Susceptibility to adversarial examples is one of the major concerns in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) applications. Training the model with adversarial examples, known as adversarial training, is a common countermeasure to tackle such attacks. In reality, however, defenders are uninformed about how adversarial examples are generated by the attacker. Therefore, it is pivotal to utilize more g

Sensory interplay typically refers to cases where the content of one sensory modality affects the content of another sensory modality. Although there is much evidence today of such interplay, it is unknown how to interpret them. Is it a one-way causal function between two separate states (e.g., a visual process that influences an auditory process), a bidirectional relation between two separate sta

Understanding the aspects of progression for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and treatment is key to building reliable clinical decision-support systems. To promote system trust, one step is to make the machine learning models (used by the decision support systems) explainable for clinicians, developers, and researchers. Recently, working with longitudinal clinical trajectories using Graph

The revised biomarker framework for diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer's disease (AD) relies on amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau pathologies as core markers, and markers for adjacent pathophysiology, such as neurodegeneration and inflammation. Many of the core fluid biomarkers are phosphorylated tau (p-tau) fragments, with p-tau217 showing a prominent association with Aβ and tau. While positron emission

Accurate imputation is essential for the reliabilityand success of downstream tasks. Recently, diffusion models haveattracted great attention in this field. However, these models neglect the latent distribution in a lower-dimensional space derivedfrom the observed data, which limits the generative capacityof the diffusion model. Additionally, dealing with the originalmissing data without labels be

Objective: Despite the increasing number of fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B-EVAR) procedures, evidence on post-operative antiplatelet therapy is very limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) vs. double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after F/B-EVAR in 30 day and follow up outcomes. Methods: A multicentre retrospective analysis was

Importance: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of negligence claims in radiology. The objective of this document is to describe the specific main causes of errors in breast imaging and provide European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) recommendations to try to minimize these. Observations: Technical failures represent 17% of all mammographic diagnostic negligence claims. Mammography qual

Bees are crucial for food security and biodiversity. However, managed bees are increasingly considered drivers of wild bee declines, leading to stakeholder conflicts and restrictive policies. We propose avenues to reconcile wild and managed bee proponents and point out knowledge gaps that hinder the development of evidence-based policies.

This paper addresses inclusive tourism in multicultural societies by exploring the domestic tourism experiences of first-generation Italian and Chinese immigrants in Sweden within the context of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) tourism practices and activities. Our results highlight the complex interplay of personal social networks and the hosts’ positionality on VFR experiences and tourism dy

Light-level geolocators were used to record the annual migration cycles of black terns Chlidonias niger (9 individuals, 11 journeys) and common terns Sterna hirundo (7 individuals, 11 journeys) breeding in southernmost Sweden. The black terns used two different non-breeding (Oct–Mar) regions along the Atlantic coast of Africa, either north of the equator between Senegal and Liberia (3 individuals)

When processing radar signals, the target steering vector is generally only partially known, being subject to various forms of errors and mismatches. In this article, we investigate the design of an unimodular transmit sequence that is robust against steering vector mismatches, with the aim of enhancing the performance of a frequency diverse array multiple-input-multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar sy

Lahti, A, Grundberg, A, Stenman, E, and Sundquist, K. Physical characteristics of Swedish female professional ice hockey players allowed body checking. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024 - In ice hockey, physical characteristics impact sporting performance. This study aims to describe body height, body mass, and body mass index (BMI) in professional female ice hockey players in the Swedish W

Engineering on the nanoscale often involves optimizing performance by designing and creating new types of nanostructured materials. Multifunctional nanoparticles can be formed by combining elements that carry fundamentally different properties. The elements can be chosen based on the desired functionality, and by combining, e.g., magnetic, and catalytic elements, it is possible to self-assemble na

Mavacamten is a selective, allosteric, and reversible cardiac myosin inhibitor, representing the first disease-specific treatment for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that targets the core pathophysiological mechanism of this condition. Clinical evidence supports its efficacy in improving symptoms, cardiac function, and remodeling, thereby supplementing established treatment regimens.

This article examines how cognitive resources such as internal efficacy and political knowledge relate to citizens’ ability to evaluate democratic institutions. Using original survey data from the United States (N = 1093), we find, first, that internal efficacy is associated with more positive assessments of democratic institutions in general. Conversely, political knowledge is associated with mor

In this paper, we examine the role of trust in the international climate negotiations. We (1) identify forms of trust inferred from institutional designs, (2) analyse effects of institutional design on social and political trust and (3) describe the relationship between social and political trust in international climate change negotiations. We do this by combining document analysis, literature re
