Background and aim. In rural areas, economic and demographic shifts often leave buildings vacant due to functional and locational obsolescence. However, these buildings hold significant value in terms of embodied energy, natural resources, economic capital, and cultural heritage. The real estate sector urgently needs innovative space use strategies and business models to tackle rising vacancy rate
Predicting the evolution of complex systems governed by partial differential equations remains challenging, especially for nonlinear, chaotic behaviors. This study introduces Koopman-inspired Fourier neural operators and convolutional neural networks to learn solution advancement operators for flame front instabilities. By transforming data into a high-dimensional latent space, these models achiev
With global food supply chains becoming more complex, the credibility of the food sector is under threat due to the loss of public trust with rising food fraud cases such as the horsemeat scandal, Chinese milk scandal, etc. Therefore, it has become essential to promote transparency and real-time visibility of the food supply chain from farm to fork to address the demand of all the stakeholders inv
OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength/mass) reduces physical performance (walking, strength, mobility) and is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), but data on newly diagnosed, untreated patients ("de novo") are scarce. Fatigue is frequent in PD and linked to physical decline and malnutrition, key sarcopenia risk factors. We aimed to describe sarcopenia prevalence, malnutrition risk, and fa
With the advent of digitalization, the economy of the world is quickly changing itself and Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the front runners. This study sheds light on how digital transformation is crucial to support the growth, competitiveness, and sustainability in the present business environment, and how digital transformation is important to the SMEs in India. To encourage SMEs
Background and aim: Circular economy (CE) practices in the built environment require integrating strategies such as life cycle assessment (LCA), cradle-to-cradle (C2C) principles, stakeholder collaboration, and the 10R framework to enhance resource efficiency and minimize environmental impacts across the entire building. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive framework that systematicall
The Swedish Research Council is a Swedish government agency and one of the major research financiers in Sweden. As such, its operations are governed by legislation and governmental instructions and policies, which prohibit discrimination and include equal treatment. Consequently, the Swedish Research Council has for a large number of years been working actively against gender bias in their reviews
Background: Nodal assessment in gallbladder cancer remains challenging, particularly in incidental gallbladder cancer. This understages the number of patients with node-positive disease, resulting in prognostic inaccuracy and insufficient adjuvant treatment. This study aimed to identify risk factors for positive nodes in gallbladder cancer and to compare prognostic discrimination of available noda
The development of treatment resistance remains universal for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, driven by androgen receptor alterations and lineage state transitions. Identifying the evolution of lineage transitions in treatment resistance has been limited by the challenges of collecting serial tissue biopsies on treatment, which can be overcome using blood-based liquid biopsies. Using a n
Recent years have seen a sharply rising interest in the scientific area dedicated to the study of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) research and applications (AI4CBT for brevity). Yet, little is known about how this interest is realized and hence the overall status, prospects, and possible challenges of AI4CBT as a field (e.g. breadth of the field, key
Erythrina alkaloids and their central nervous system effects have been studied for over a century, mainly due to their potent antagonistic actions at β2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). In the present work, we report a synthetic approach giving access to a diverse set of Erythrina natural product analogues and present the enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-Cocculine and
With the emergence of autonomous vehicles comes the requirement of adequate and rigorous testing, particularly in critical scenarios that are both challenging and potentially hazardous. Generating synthetic simulation-based critical scenarios for testing autonomous vehicles has therefore received considerable interest, yet it is unclear how such scenarios relate to the actual crash or near-crash s
INTRODUCTION: Biomarkers play a crucial role in understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and treatment effects. However, comparing biomarker measures without standardization and appreciating their magnitude relative to the disease can be challenging. METHODS: To address this issue, we propose the CentiMarker approach, similar to Centiloid, which provides a standardized scale between nor
I en tid präglad av konvergenskultur har en undervisningsdesign baserad på transmedialitet skapats för studenter på ämneslärarprogrammet i svenska för att dels visa på alternativa sätt att analysera dikter, dels visa på alternativa sätt att undervisa i lyrik och lyrikanalys och därigenom vidga den litteraturdidaktiska repertoaren för framtidens ämneslärare. Syftet m
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found at the centres of many spiral and elliptical galaxies, and up to 40 percent of dwarf galaxies. However, their formation mechanisms, and possible links to globular clusters (GCs), remain debated. This paper uses cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxies at a spatial resolution of pc to present a new fo
This article presents an innovative participatory approach to the ethical aspects of conducting body mapping research. Drawing from experiences from an earlier project with digital sex workers, we examine how body mapping, when integrated with what we term “embodied oscillative ethics,” creates opportunities for meaningful collaboration and knowledge co-creation while addressing complex ethical ch
The exponential increase in medical waste production has increased the difficulty of waste management, resulting in higher medical waste dispersion into the environment. By employing a circular economy approach, it is possible to develop new materials by waste valorization. The employment of biodegradable and renewable agro-food, waste-derived materials may reduce the environmental impact caused b
