Objective: The aim of this study was to explore experiences and challenges in handling feedback and criticism among early career surgeons. Design: This study is part of a prospective, exploratory, longitudinal study evaluating surgical residents throughout residency. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical doctors applying to a locum or residency position in a surgical specialty. An
ObjectiveTo compare speech outcomes in 4 groups of 5-year-olds with cleft of the hard and soft palate: with Robin sequence without additional conditions (RS−), with Robin sequence with additional conditions (RS+), without Robin sequence with additional conditions (CP+), and without Robin sequence without additional conditions (CP−).DesignRegistry-based cohort study.SettingRegional public care univ
Stochastic texture filtering (STF) has re-emerged as a technique that can bring down the cost of texture filtering of advanced texture compression methods, e.g., neural texture compression. However, during texture magnification, the swapped order of filtering and shading with STF can result in aliasing. The inability to smoothly interpolate material properties stored in textures, such as surface n
Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is an increasingly utilised modality for treating tumours by utilising the physical properties of accelerated proton beams. This review explores the development of PBT, its dosimetric advantages over conventional x-ray-based radiotherapy, and the rationale behind its use in paediatric oncology whilst simultaneously considering the various challenges associated with its de
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The association between dairy intake and dementia risk remains uncertain, especially for dairy products with varying fat contents. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between high-fat and low-fat dairy intake and dementia risk.METHODS: This study used data from a prospective cohort in Sweden, the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort, which consisted of commu
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine-delivered diet and/or exercise interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D) in people at risk. Methods: Embase (via Ovid), Medline (via Ovid), Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus and SciELO were searched from January 2010–December 2020 for intervention studies using a diet and/or exercise intervention delivered through telemedicine for T2D prev
This article explores the shifting and competing ways in which childbirth, obstetrics, and maternity care were represented during the first two decades of television in Sweden. While childbirth on screen has a much longer history in both educational film and commercial cinema, the introduction of public service television in the late 1950s created a new space in Sweden for both educational and cri
Transforming our economy from linear to circular requires new types of businesses in the manufacturing sector, material flows change from global to local. Our cities need to make room for manufacturing again, to repair, upcycle, design, make, resell, and produce local solutions. This presents an urban design challenge, how does a manufacturing area fit in to the climate adapted city needed to redu
Organizations are increasingly turning to sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) to address pressing environmental and social challenges, yet implementation remains fraught with difficulties. Unlike incremental sustainability efforts, SOI embeds sustainability objectives into the core of innovation processes, encompassing products, services, and business models. This study investigates how the a
The Kammu people are mainly rice farmers and live on mountain slopes in northern Laos. The chapter studies the expressives of the Yùan Kammu dialect from the combined perspectives of linguistics and ethnomusicology. Kammu expressives are derived from monosyllabic roots, which each carry the general meaning of those expressives that are derived from that root. The morphological processes involved i
High-pressure homogenizers (HPHs) are used extensively in food-, pharma-, and biotech processing. Erosion wear is a serious concern leading to high maintenance costs and downtime. Despite this, very little is known about how operating conditions and HPH design influence wear. Guidelines for optimizing design and operation are in great need. This contribution develops a relatively simple CFD-based
Purpose:The purpose of this study is to map different kinds of tensions in product innovation and investigate how top managers use communication to shape subordinates' attention and thereby respond to these tensions.Design/methodology/approach:This study adopted an embedded case study of four innovation centers within a Nordic multinational firm.Findings:This study identifies three kinds of tensio
Classical model reduction techniques project the governing equations onto a linear subspace of the original state space. More recent data-driven techniques use neural networks to enable nonlinear projections. While those often enable stronger compression, they may have redundant parameters and lead to suboptimal latent dimensionality. To overcome these issues, we propose a multistep algorithm that
Gaussian process regression is widely applied in computational science and engineering for surrogate modeling owning to its kernel-based and probabilistic nature. In this work, we propose a Bayesian approach that integrates the variability of input data into the Gaussian process regression for function and partial differential equation approximation. Leveraging two types of observables—noise-corru
Micro-scale mechanisms, such as inter-particle and particle-fluid interactions, govern the behaviour of granular systems. While particle-scale simulations provide detailed insights into these interactions, their computational cost is often prohibitive. At a recent Lorentz Center Workshop on “Machine Learning for Discrete Granular Media”, researchers explored how machine learning approaches can aid
We use a lifting trick to show that the Beurling-Malliavin multiplier theorem extends to radial functions in several variables in a straightforward way. This simplifies an argument of Vasilyev and also answers a question of Vasilyev on the Cartwright version of the theorem.
Let f be an entire function of finite exponential type less than or equal to σ which is bounded by 1 on the real axis and satisfies f(0)=1. Under these assumptions, Hörmander showed that f cannot decay faster than cos(σx) on the interval (−π/σ,π/σ). We extend this result to the setting of de Branges spaces with cosine replaced by the real part of the associated Hermite–Biehler function. We apply t
Let f be a strictly increasing smooth function, such that f′ is comparable to a weight α′ which is locally doubling and satisfies a non-triviality condition to be explained in the paper. We construct a meromorphic inner function J, such that f−arg(J) is bounded and arg(J)′ is comparable to α′ up to polynomial loss. We give two applications of this result. The first is a sufficient density conditio
