Effectively identifying deviations in real-world medical time-series data is a critical endeavor, essential for early surveillance of disease outbreaks. This paper demonstrates the integration of time-series anomaly detection techniques to develop surveillance systems for disease outbreaks. Utilizing data from Sweden's telephone counseling service (1177), we first illustrate the trends in physical
Shallow geothermal offers great potential to supply emission-free heating and cooling and has therefore a pivotal role in the transition of heating and cooling networks. This paper presents a novel heating and cooling network with possible geothermal energy sharing between decentralized borefields located at each building level. The system consolidates the benefits of both standalone and centraliz
Context. The HD 15337 (TIC 120896927, TOI-402) system was observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), revealing the presence of two short-period planets situated on opposite sides of the radius gap. This offers an excellent opportunity to study theories of formation and evolution, as well as to investigate internal composition and atmospheric evaporation. Aims. We aim to constrai
Existing studies offer little insight on how atrial fibrillation (AF) detection performance is influenced by the properties of AF episode patterns. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of AF burden and median AF episode length on detection performance. For this purpose, three types of AF detectors, using either information on rhythm, rhythm and morphology, or ECG segments, were in
Nature-based solutions is a new trend in the area of urban and suburban planning. Thanks to its complex nature, Nature-based solutions provide multiple services on different levels of cities functionality. On the other hand nature-based solutions complexity requires extended knowledge in multiple engineering and societal areas, so the implementation is not straightforward. In recent years, countle
Background and Aims: Substance use disorder (SUD) is related to widespread adverse consequences, including higher suicidality. Shared genetic liability has been demonstrated between SUD and suicidality. Here, we measured the factors that contribute to increased risk of non-fatal suicide attempt among individuals with SUD by focusing upon aggregate genetic risks and both childhood and past-year env
The levelized cost of energy (LCoE) is an important measure to quantify the macro-economic efficiency of an offshore wind farm and to enable a quantitative comparison with other types of energy production. The costs of the structural integrity management - which is required to ensure an adequate lifetime reliability of the turbine support structures - are part of the operational expenditures of an
Aims: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) models for identification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or death within 30 days among emergency department (ED) chest pain patients. Methods and results: Using data from 9519 consecutive ED chest pain patients, we created ML models based on logistic regression or artificial neural networks. Model input
The three mechanisms that describe the reaction kinetics for various combustion processes were evaluated against experimental data for a reforming process. M1 is the GRI-Mech 3.0 mechanism, originally designed to model combustion of natural gas. The M2 mechanism originated from a methane combustion mechanism, which was extended to include reactions for methanol, acetaldehyde, ethanol, and ethylene
This study brings a systematic review that evaluated 43 articles on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) applied to stormwater management in urban areas. This review aims to establish a reference on NBS effectively applied and whose environmental, social, and economic benefits have been duly discussed. The results address 13 NBS techniques/methodologies implemented and their ecosystem benefits. Our findin
Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera vad domstolarna får döma över och vilka värden den svenska straffrätten bygger på. För att undersöka vad domstolarna får döma över har jag behandlat de krav på gärningsbeskrivningens omfattning som ställs i RB 30:3. Därtill undersöks vad lagen och förarbeten behandlar om materiell processledning. För att kunna undersöka straffrättens värden använder jag mig av
The aim of this report was to investigate the effects on temperature when scaling down an experiment within the area of fire safety engineering. This was done by performing a literature review and by comparing results from FDS 6 simulations in full scale with simulation results in scale 1:4. To properly scale an experiment it is necessary to take the fire power as well as the heat losses from the
The use of CFD-models as an engineering tool for fire based analytical design of buildings has increased over the last few years. The reason for this is partly that the legislation allows for analytical dimensioning but also because the legislation demands a high degree of verification for the analytical dimensioning. The biggest reason is, however, that the computer power has increased and reache
The aim of this study is to examine the services offered by the public libraries in the context of distance learning students. I wanted to examine if there has been any discussion among the public libraries on how the new needs and demands affect them. To get a premonition on the development in Sweden I have focused on the public libraries in the province of Blekinge, which in many ways can be loo
The purpose of this master´s thesis was to investigate the role and function of the annual reports of public libraries: for what purpose are they put together and how are they evaluated and utilised. The study presents different views on the structure and content of library annual reports. Focusing on a specific public library and its municipal administration, the authors identify and describe pro
Two protein ingredients, vital wheat gluten (WG) and hempseed protein concentrate (HPC), were extruded both individually and in combination, in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder to produce pilot-scale high-moisture meat analogues. To determine possible textural outcomes, the impact of the ratio between the input materials and operational settings was investigated. Seven different WG and HPC ratios
OBJECTIVES: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a strong genetic component and is a known risk factor for several hand conditions. We aimed to examine whether DM in first-degree relatives is associated with an increased risk of hand surgical diagnoses.DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Data were collected from a population-based cohort in southern Sweden (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS)). Fam
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,
Covid-19 has triggered a massive global challenge with 1,576,069 overall confirmed cases, 1,545,429 recovered cases, and 30,640 deaths across Pakistan. Epidemiological models have always played an important role in understanding the dynamics of such infectious diseases. The severity of Covid-19 infection depends on several factors such as immune system and virus variants. Although detailed epidemi
Life on Earth is a mosaic distributed across biogeographical regions. Their regional species pools have experienced distinct historical and eco-evolutionary pressures, leading to an expected context-dependent organization of biodiversity. Here we identify a general spatial organization within biogeographical regions of terrestrial and marine vertebrates, invertebrates and plants (more than 30,000
