The knowledge of the material budget with a high precision is fundamental for measurements of direct photon production using the photon conversion method due to its direct impact on the total systematic uncertainty. Moreover, it influences many aspects of the charged-particle reconstruction performance. In this article, two procedures to determine data-driven corrections to the material-budget des

Vi gjorde en engelska variant av Skapa demokrati som spelades på Svenska Ambassaden, Georgetown University och en skolklass i Whittier Elementary SchoolWorkshopen i Washington DC är en del av projektet Expanding Minds – together, ett samarbete mellan Institutet för Framtidsstudier, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern och ABF med stöd av Postkodstiftelsen. Syftet är att, med kulturens redskap och medborgares erfarenheter, skapa bryggor mellan forskning och allmänhet och på så sätt förnya demokratisk interaktion och organisering.

Introduction: The current standard method for breast cancer screening is digital mammography (DM). Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can detect more cancers but is more resource-demanding, not the least due to a more time-consuming reading, which hinders the implementation in screening. Artificial intelligence (AI) might open possibilities to overcome this, but different potential ways of using A

Background: The aim of this multicentre prospective observational study was to identify the incidence, patient characteristics, diagnostic pathway, management and outcome of acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI). Methods: All adult patients with clinical suspicion of AMI admitted or transferred to 32 participating hospitals from 06.06.2022 to 05.04.2023 were included. Participants who were subsequently

Vi gjorde en specialvariant av Öva demokrati där publiken genom samtal och olika röstningsförfarande skapar förslag på möjliga reformer dör den svenska demokratin.

Background and objectiveAtrioventricular valve disease is a common cause of heart failure, and successful surgical or interventional outcomes are crucial. Patient-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling may provide valuable insights into valve dynamics and guidance of valve repair strategies. However, lack of validation has kept FSI modeling from clinical implementation. Therefore, thi

Social trust is a heritable trait that has been linked with physical health and longevity. In this study, we performed genome-wide association studies of self-reported social trust in n = 33,882 Danish blood donors. We observed genome-wide and local evidence of genetic similarity with other brain-related phenotypes and estimated the single nucleotide polymorphism-based heritability of trust to be

Dramaturgies of Conversation to address challenges to Democracy Democracy is now the system to govern in just a little more than thirty countries, but dictatorships harbour seventy percent of the world population. Today, there is an ongoing war in Europe and in national elections in Sweden and Italy far-right parties have had successes. However, already before this happened there was great concern

Correlation attacks apply mainly to stream ciphers and can be considered as an extension of the idea of distinguishing attacks to collect information on secret key bits. The original correlation attack was proposed by Siegenthaler on nonlinear combination generators. In a nonlinear combination generator, the keystream is generated as the output of a Boolean function with inputs being sequences fro

Summary: The relationship between self-reported falls and fracture risk was estimated in an international meta-analysis of individual-level data from 46 prospective cohorts. Previous falls were associated with an increased fracture risk in women and men and should be considered as an additional risk factor in the FRAX® algorithm. Introduction: Previous falls are a well-documented risk factor for s

Background: Posterior cortical atrophy is a rare syndrome characterised by early, prominent, and progressive impairment in visuoperceptual and visuospatial processing. The disorder has been associated with underlying neuropathological features of Alzheimer's disease, but large-scale biomarker and neuropathological studies are scarce. We aimed to describe demographic, clinical, biomarker, and neuro

The inclusive Higgs boson production cross-section is measured in the di-photon and the ZZ∗→ 4 ℓ decay channels using 31.4 and 29.0 fb - 1 of pp collision data respectively, collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13.6 TeV . To reduce the model dependence, the measurement in each channel is restricted to a particle-level phase space that closely matches the channel’s dete

In 2022, the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA) adopted resolution 5/14, giving mandate to UN Member States to start negotiations toward an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. This report delves into the pre-session submissions by states and coalitions for the second (INC-2) and third (INC-3) rounds of negotiations, held in 2023. Once the contents of the docume

This study aims to broaden our historical knowledge about ideas of rationalism and monocultures in forestry science and rational forest management. Empirically, it focuses on the writings of Swedish forestry scientist Henrik Hesselman, active in the early twentieth century. The texts were analyzed using the method of historical contextualization. The study indicates that monocultures historically

När man talar om elbussar framhålls ofta deras påverkan på stadsmiljöer, exempelvis vad gäller urbana kvaliteter som luftkvalitet och buller, eller hur etableringen av laddinfrastruktur ska anpassas till både den urbana kontexten och till kollektivtrafikens förutsättningar. Sedan de första elbussarna introducerades i svenska städer för ca 10 år sedan har det funnits förväntningar på att elektrifie

Objectives:Pregnancy-related physiological adaptations result in increased heart rate as well as electrocardiographic changes such as a mean QTc prolongation of 27 ms. Pregnant women with CHD are at increased risk for cardiovascular complications. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for abnormally prolonged QTc interval—a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias—in pregnant women wit
