In this paper, we present a pipeline for visual localization using 2D-3D matching, yielding high localization accuracy comparable with hierarchical methods based on 2D-2D matching. This is accomplished through an active exploration strategy, which adaptively explores multiple parts of the scene to find the region that generates the most inlier matches, followed by refining the pose with a pose-to-
We present a general technique for efficient computation of second order information for optimization functionals involving many variables of different nature, frequently appearing in modern applications. This technique relies on the bilinear Hessian, and while the main tools for this task have been published elsewhere, we here focus on the problem of how to organize the computations in the multi-
Background and purpose: Routine collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) may provide valuable real-world data on quality of life (QoL) and treatment tolerability, complementing clinical outcomes. This study evaluated the feasibility of launching a semi-automated, department-wide PROM collection program at a large tertiary radiotherapy centre. Patients and methods: Patients ≥ 18 year
Background: Current research addressing recovery and everyday occupations among individuals with severe mental illness tends to focus on people of working age, whereas those aging with such conditions receive little attention. Whether younger and older users of mental health services differ regarding how they perceive their everyday occupations, personal recovery and quality of life seems unknown.
The development of techniques to culture and differentiate adult and pluripotent stem cells into diverse cell types over the past decades has sparked an increasing interest in the use of cells for organ regeneration. Such therapies aim to replace lost or damaged cells with functional ones. This can be achieved either through tissue engraftment of therapeutic cells or via their paracrine effects on
Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathways (qAOPs) can support next-generation risk assessment by integrating new approach methods (NAMs) for deriving points of departure. To be useful, a qAOP should be chemical-agnostic. However, existing qAOP studies often pool multichemical data without adequately addressing cross-chemical heterogeneity. Consequently, pathway relationships become obscured by heterog
Background: Social prescribing (SP) has emerged as a non-medical strategy to enhance cancer survivors’ well-being by addressing psychosocial challenges through diverse interventions. Despite growing evidence of benefits, a comprehensive synthesis of intervention effectiveness and implementation barriers remains limited. This scoping review updates current evidence on SP interventions, outcomes, an
From Concepts to Action: Building on the foundational work of our 2025 workshop, this second edition shifts from exploring what sustainability means in HRI to producing actionable outcomes for the community. Last year, we identified strong but often unacknowledged engagement with social and environmental sustainability, alongside gaps in shared language and practical frameworks. This year, we focu
Proteins make complex life possible, yet our understanding of their emergence remains limited. What are the informational limits of protein folding, and how did the first proteins emerge? Protein simplification studies—in which contemporary folds are built from limited alphabets, symmetrized, fragmented, or shortened—have provided key insights into these questions. These studies use design constra
Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) during acute ischemia is linked to increased dispersion of ventricular repolarization (DOR), which is considered a robust marker of arrhythmic susceptibility. In previous works, we showed that a time-warping-based index quantifying morphological changes from the T-wave peak to the T-wave end over a PCA transform lead, dPCAw,Tpe, outperformed the T-peak-to-
OBJECTIVE: To improve health conditions among hypogonadal men ≥70 years of age using testosterone undecanoate (TU) injections, progressive strength training, and oral supplements of vitamin D, calcium, and protein.METHODS: This study is a 1-year follow-up of a double-blind RCT lasting 20 weeks, including 148 older men ≥70 years old with low testosterone levels and mobility problems. During 52 week
BACKGROUND: Due to increasing older populations worldwide, injuries, disabilities and deaths caused by falls among the elderly represent a growing human and societal problem. We aimed to improve health among men of at least 70 years of age with low-normal to low testosterone and mobility problems by using testosterone undecanoate (TU) injections, progressive strength training, and oral supplements
An ever increasing number of applications is starting to adopt AI/ML components to unlock advanced capabilities and functionalities that are extremely hard or even not feasible at all to implement with more traditional approaches. The cost to be paid for these advancements lies in their computational requirements, which is often so significant that dictates their offloading to dedicated powerful c
BackgroundEarly Absenteeism Guide for Lifelong Education (EAGLE) is an early, school-based intervention designed to help school personnel address emerging school absenteeism. EAGLE aims to support early identification, strengthen school–parent collaboration, and guide parents in managing school attendance through a holistic assessment framework.ObjectiveThis qualitative exploratory study investiga
Underhåll bidrar väsentligt till byggnaders klimatpåverkan. För att beräkningar av klimatpåverkan över hela livscykeln ska bli träffsäkra, bör antaganden som används i beräkningarna baseras på verifierade fakta.Detta projekt har behandlat frågor kopplade till underhåll av tegelfasader, med fokus på omfogningsintervall för tegelskalmurar från 1960-talet och senare. Projektet har även berört frågan
Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) is a prototypical soft-lattice semiconductor whose orthorhombic and tetragonal polymorphs can coexist and interconvert under optical excitation or changes in temperature. The mixed-phase regime attracts attention because of the carrier transfer between phases, which enables optoelectronic functionalities such as optical gain. Here, we investigate carrier dynamic
Perceived stigmatization places a large psychosocial burden on patients with some skin conditions. Little is known about the experience of stigmatization across a wide range of skin diseases. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to quantify perceived stigmatization and identify its predictors among patients with a broad spectrum of skin diseases across 17 European countries.
