This deliverable reports on Risk Assessment for Wetland Sediment Applications on Agricultural Land. The main content is a thorough and critical evaluation (literature review) of the wetland coupled agriculture and the related concerns such as nutrients, sediments and contamination risks. This will also be supported by the two case studies. Constructed wetlands act as traps for substances carried w
Background/Objectives: The surgeon’s subjective intraoperative evaluation is the standard of care to assess postoperative residual disease (RD) in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We investigated the feasibility of ctDNA as an objective marker for postoperative RD. Methods: This prospective study included 27 patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO IIIA1–IVB) who underwent primary surg
This presentation presents a method for using Large Language Models (LLMs) to structure historical data about Swedish musical history. The research builds on the existing, human-created Stockholm Concert Database of concerts occurring in Stockholm between 1848-1908. Using this as a starting point, it details an experiment in automated extraction of information about concerts from historical Swedis
Progressive leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are associated with intractable neurological symptoms and a poor prognosis, and effective treatment options are limited. Intrathecal (IT) pemetrexed has been shown to confer clinical benefit in lung adenocarcinoma, yet our understanding of the efficacy and safety of the treatment is limited. We report a patient with a long-standing history of leptomeninge
To solve the problem of fatigue of the UAV operator during long-term search and reconnaissance missions, a research hardware and software complex was created, in which the positioning of the auxiliary UAV video camera with a narrow field of view is carried out. Dynamixel Library for MATLAB and Simulink was used to organize the interaction of actuators with the virtual environment, which allows com
2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a precipitating non-aqueous amine technology that can potentially lower the energy demand during CO2 removal from industrial flue gases compared to aqueous amine technologies. However, DMSO is hygroscopic and has a high possibility of absorbing water from humid flue gases, which can affect the physical properties of the system,
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis, whereas its metastatic capacity carries a predilection for the brain. Although prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) has been used to address this problem, upcoming alternatives might necessitate reflection of its application in SCLC treatment. RECENT FINDINGS: The addition of immunotherapy to treatme
Purpose: To remedy the lack of a measure that jointly assesses the psychological status and impact of migration stressors among forced migrants, we developed and tested the Screening of Refugees Self-Report (ScoRE-SR) Questionnaire.Method: Four institutions with expertise on posttraumatic symptomatology and/or migration stressors developed the ScoRE-SR through an iterative process also involving c
We have previously demonstrated that the intracellular, non-GPI anchored CD59 isoforms IRIS-1 and IRIS-2 (Isoforms Rescuing Insulin Secretion 1 and 2) are necessary for insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. While investigating their expression across human tissues, we identified IRIS-1 and IRIS-2 mRNA in the human brain, though their protein expression and function remained unclear. This stud
Simultaneous monitoring of the process parameters in a multivariate normal process has caught researchers’ attention during the last two decades. However, only statistical control charts have been developed so far for this purpose. On the other hand, machine-learning (ML) techniques have rarely been developed to be used in control charts. In this paper, three ML control charts are proposed using t
This paper explores how pro-active government policies could promote artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare for the public good. Building on insights from the literature on industrial policy, we argue that without clear conditions and guardrails to ensure future public benefit, state assistance and subsidies will be nothing more than corporate welfare with unpredictable, if any, societal benef
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic role of signal-averaged ECG (SAECG) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) has lately been questioned. We assessed the value of SAECG-derived late ventricular potentials (LP) in ARVC diagnosis and its association with disease manifestations.METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with definite ARVC diagnosis or genotype-positive family members who underwent SAEC
In pursuit of advancing the capabilities of ground testing facilities, a complete road map for broadening operational range of the H3 hypersonic blowdown wind tunnel, operated at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI), with the addition of a new Mach 5 contoured nozzle is constructed. The main characteristics of the facility are presented. The supersonic ejector is identified as a criti
Future climate scenarios are predicting considerable threats to sustainable maize production in arid and semi-arid regions. These adverse impacts can be minimized by adopting modern agricultural tools to assess and develop successful adaptation practices. A multi-model approach (climate and crop) was used to assess the impacts and uncertainties of climate change on maize crop. An extensive field s
Marine environments worldwide are increasingly threatened by warming, deoxygenation, and ocean acidification. These stressors can be recorded as alterations in foraminiferal geochemistry and morphology. We integrated morphological features with assemblage and geochemical records of benthic foraminifera from the Danish Straits at the entrance to the Baltic Sea, covering the Last Interglacial period
This CMES Regional Outlook by Pinar Dinc focuses on the recent political developments in Turkey.
Due to the large amount of accidents negatively affecting the wellbeing of the survivors and their families, a substantial amount of research is conducted to determine the causes of road accidents. This type of data come in the form of non-negative integers and may be modelled using the Poisson regression model. Unfortunately, the commonly used maximum likelihood estimator is unstable when the exp
Contemporary research observes how foreign information influence present a governing challenge for liberal democratic states. Less attention has been paid to how this governing dilemma emerged in its present form. This article outlines a genealogy of the longstanding Swedish strategy of psychological defence with the aim of tracing historical trajectories of liberal democratic thinking about infor
Postgraduate education has been recognised as a key to bring about societal change. While further capacity building is imperative in this regard in East Africa (Wao et al., 2022), we will in this study focus on how supervisors function as important role models to their students (Brodin et al., 2020). We assume that supervisors’ own approaches to societal change affect their supervisor relationship
