The discovery of exoplanets has revealed an intriguing class of planets unlike anything in the Solar System: ultra-hot Jupiters. These gas giants share similarities with Jupiter in size and in their hydrogen- and helium-dominated atmospheres, yet their proximity to their host stars results in vastly different atmospheric conditions. Intense stellar radiation heats them to temperatures exceeding 20
In the Machine Learning field, more and more of the data collection is commercialised, even with monetary rewards to people and organisations for providing input data for models. Even if data collection is not associated with direct costs for the researcher, there are many cases where there are indirect, or circumstancial, costs associated with it. An established concept in game theory is "S
Background: Flexible assertive community treatment (FACT) is an innovative model for providing long-term treatment to people with severe mental illness. The model was developed in the Netherlands but is now used in other countries, including Norway, which has a geography different from the Netherlands, with many rural and remote areas. Implementation of innovations is context dependent. The FACT m

BACKGROUND: Patients with elevated intracranial pressure risk compromising their cerebral blood flow, resulting in ischemia. Lowering of the raised intracranial pressure, is therefore, mandatory. Reduction of the cerebral blood volume (CBV) might be target. In finding ways to do so, one has to be able to measure CBV. Measurement of CBV is, however, difficult. Radio(99mTc-)labeled erythrocytes (99m
In many of the first treatment trials with tacrine, heterogeneity in treatment response was observed and discussed. One third of the patients were considered to be responders to treatment, one third unchanged and one third non-responders. Factors outlined as possible positive predictors of treatment were among others old age, well preserved frontal lobes, and presence of the APOE e4 allele. Unfort
Background: In implementing new programs of care, such as person-centered care, there is a risk that the focus will be at an organizational level, instead of a level that describes what happens in the personal development among staff. The aim of this study was to describe experiences of the implementation process of a learning supporting model designed to increase patient involvement and autonomy
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is diagnosed with imaging techniques such as ventilation/perfusion (V/P) lung scintigraphy or multidetector computed tomography of the pulmonary arteries (MDCT). Lung scintigraphy can be performed with planar (V/P PLANAR) and tomographic (V/P SPECT) techniques. V/P SPECT has higher sensitivity and specificity than V/P PLANAR. As nephrotoxic contrast media are no

Beyond CP Snow 2 Beyond CP S now Many of the challenges we face in the 21st century deal with issues that demand a deepened understanding of the interplay between the biophysical world, humans, society and technology. Research and education stand upon a founding structure with rather distinct borders between the different traditions. As a result, the methods, theories, models, concepts and thought

Jordbrukets matproduktion är helt nödvändigt för mänskligheten, samtidigt som det moderna jordbruket bidrar till en stor klimatpåverkan. Produktion av konstgödsel och bekämpningsmedel, dieseldrivna traktorer och skördetröskor och transporter orsakar en stor del av problemet, utsläppen från våra jordar en annan. Intensiv odling leder ofta till att organiskt kol som varit bundet i marken går förloraImproved management of agricultural soils to sequester carbon from the atmosphere is considered an important climate mitigation measure. Intensive agriculture often leads to degradation of soil organic carbon (SOC), contributing to climate change and loss of soil ecosystem services. Interventions in agricultural management can halt or reverse the loss of SOC. Annual SOC change rates for interventi
The spread of pathogens between individuals has important effects on patterns of mortality, behaviour and the genetic structure of populations. One factor that is predicted to influence the transmission of pathogens is the genetic diversity of the host group. Groups of closely related individuals are susceptible to similar pathogens, and hence increase in genetic diversity of the group should decr
Sustainable development is currently said to be an overriding development goal, also for development assistance. It requires new approaches that challenge not only economic rationality but also bureaucracies in ways that encourage political pluralism and the participation by civil society. As the gap between rich and poor increases and as the pressures on already strained systems constantly increa
