With the recent advances in graph neural networks, there is a rising number of studies on graph-based multi-label classification with the consideration of object dependencies within visual data. Nevertheless, graph representations can become indistinguishable due to the complex nature of label relationships. We propose a multi-label image classification framework based on graph transformer network
Medulloblastoma and glioblastoma are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in children and adults, respectively. Tumor-associated macrophages and microglia are key non-cancerous cell types in these tumors. These cells interact with CD24, a so called “don’t eat me signal” expressed on tumor cells, through Siglec-10, a receptor that contributes to immune evasion by promoting an immunosuppre
In today’s volatile and changing environment employment, innovation, and economic growth are basic characteristics of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to investigate the challenges and enablers of digitalization in SMEs. Expert responses provide numerical weights to 6 barriers and 5 alternatives using Super Decisions v3.2 software. The results sho
Given many recent advanced embedding models, selecting pre-trained word representation (ie, word embedding) models best fit for a specific downstream NLP task is non-trivial. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach to extracting, evaluating, and visualizing multiple sets of pre-trained word embed-dings to determine which embeddings should be used in a downstream task. First, for extraction
Biomassa har varit en central del av Sveriges strategi för att ersätta fossila bränslen de senaste decennierna. Samtidigt pekar flera studier på att efterfrågan på biomassa riskerar att bli större än den hållbara tillgången med en sådan strategi. Detta skapar betydande osäkerhet kring bioenergins framtida roll i energisystemet – både när det gäller var den kommer att behövas, hur konkurrensen med
BACKGROUND: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) originating from inactivation of genes like BRCA1/BRCA2 is a targetable abnormality common in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive HER2-negative (ERpHER2n) breast cancer (BC), HRD prevalence and clinical impact are unclear.METHODS: We analyzed 502 ERpHER2n tumors from patients recruited via the population-rep
Background: This study investigated the moderating role of household disposable income and family type on the association between precarious employment (PE) and diagnosed mental disorders. Methods: This longitudinal study used register data from the Swedish Work, Illness, and Labour-market Participation (SWIP) cohort. The study population included all individuals aged 27–65 who were employed in 20
Performing a controlled glide of an Airbus A320 following an all-engine failure at cruising altitude is a highly demanding task for pilots. This study investigates whether judgement heuristics can enhance pilot performance in managing this scenario. While the existing ALL ENG FAIL Airbus procedure provides valid guidance, it offers disconnected navigational inputs to the pilots. This simulator-bas
Extracting financial Key Performance Indicators from annual reports is one of many manual tasks in the banking sector. This can be automated with Machine Learning techniques such as Question Answering, Named Entity Recognition, Entity Relation, Text-to-Sql, or Retrieval Augmented Generation. In this thesis, different models performances are evaluated when extracting KPIs from annual reports, both
This essay examines the film character Laura Palmer from the television series Twin Peaks and the feature film Fire Walk With Me. The purpose of this essay is to discuss how the character Laura Palmer differs between the series and the film. How does she change from being an object to a subject, and how do we see a change between the series and the film? This is done in dialogue with Laura Mulvey&
Background: Despite robust evidence that genetic factors substantially influence both osteoporosis development and fracture risk, current screening guidelines fail to incorporate genetic factors into risk-assessment protocols. This study aims to determine personalized screening ages for osteoporosis based on polygenic risk score (PRS). Methods: This prospective cohort study utilized data from 223,
Pretrained language models are integral part of AI applications, but their high computational cost for training limits accessibility. Initiatives such as Bloom and StarCoder aim to democratize access to pretrained models for collaborative community development. Despite these efforts, such models encounter challenges such as limited multilingual capabilities, risks of catastrophic forgetting during
The lichen genus Lecanora is one of the largest genera of lichenized fungi. The core part of the genus is the L. subfusca group and within this group, Lecanora hybocarpa (Tuck.) Brodo, initially described from North America and thought to be endemic, has been reported from several European countries. However, the identity of these European specimens has been increasingly questioned. This study aim
Background: Low-cost particulate matter sensors have enabled new opportunities for exposure monitoring but require evaluation before application in epidemiological studies. This study assessed the performance of the SPS30 sensor integrated into the ARMIE portable monitoring sensor-node under controlled laboratory conditions. Methods: Sensors were co-located with two comparison instruments—the opti
Background: To evaluate whether integrating proteomics, metabolomics, and a cardiovascular disease specific polygenic risk score (CVD-PRS) in the SCORE2-Diabetes model improves sex-specific 10-year prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS), plasma proteomics (with the Olink Explore 3072 platform
The mosque (both as masjid or jāmiʿ) is recognized as the first Muslim educational space for formal and informal learnings, for children and adults alike. Although the mosque remained as one of the primary centers of Islamic studies in various disciplines to this day, the Muslim cities from the Middle Ages onward have witnessed the emergence of specific institutions for Islamic education. Kuttābs
The sharing economy generates many benefits for cities and their citizens. However, it also causes numerous economic, social and environmental challenges, which are the reasons cities develop various policies and regulations. Previous research has explored municipal regulations across cities and countries but often overlooked alternative governance mechanisms. Our earlier work highlighted the need
Background Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and restrictive spirometry pattern (RSP) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) measures small airway function more sensitively than spirometry. We aim to study the prevalence of abnormal IOS findings in relation to three spirometry patterns (obstructive, PRI
