Ungdomar börjar använda internet vid allt yngre åldrar: 99 % av ungdomar i åldersspannet 8 till 19 år använder internet på en daglig basis. Samtidigt som informationsflödet ökar så medför detta även bieffekter där ungdomar numera i allt större utsträckning sparar och laddar upp information om sig själva mer frekvent på internet. Samtidigt som användandet ökat privat har även många skolor i Sverige valt att nästan helt övergå från penna och papper till en mer digitaliserad utbildningsmetod. Detta har dock fört med sig vissa risker när det kommer till IT-säkerhet. Exempel på sådana risker kan vara obehörig åtkomst till data, dataintrång eller förlust av information på grund av tekniska fel eller bristfälliga säkerhetsåtgärder. Detta blev extra tydligt under covid-19-pandemin då utbildning övergick till distansundervisning samtidigt som cyberbrotten ökade i allmänhet, och mot utbildningssektorn i synnerhet. Denna studie har till syfte att undersöka kunskapsnivån och förhållningssätt hos tredjeårselever på gymnasieskolor runt om i Skaraborg inom området IT-säkerhet och samtidigt kartlägga behovet och intresset för utbildning inom ämnet. Studien har med hjälp av enkätundersökningar mot elever och semistrukturerade intervjuer med lärare kommit fram till att det finns ett tydligt behov av utbildning inom IT-säkerhet bland ungdomar på gymnasieskolorna i Skaraborg, samtidigt som lärarna menar på att ämnet ofta faller undan i klassrummet. Resultatet visar att både elever och lärare ser positivt på att inkludera ämnet i ordinarie gymnasieutbildning för att stärka kunskaper och medvetenhet om IT-säkerhetens betydelse., Young people are starting to use the internet at increasingly younger ages, with 99 % of individuals aged 8 to 19 using the internet on a daily basis. As the flow of information increases, this also brings about side effects where young people are now more frequently saving and uploading personal information about themselves on the internet. Moreover, as schools in Sweden have chosen to almost completely transition from pen and paper to a more digitized form of education, the need for IT security skills among young people has become increasingly important. This became particularly evident during the covid-19 pandemic when education shifted to remote learning and cybercrimes saw a general increase, particularly attacks against the education sector. The purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge and attitudes among third[1]year students in high schools across Skaraborg regarding IT security and simultaneously assess the need and interest for education around this subject. Through surveys conducted among students and semi-structured interviews with teachers, the study concludes that there is a clear need for education in IT security among young people in high schools in Skaraborg, while teachers argue that the subject often takes a back seat in the classroom. The results show that both students and teachers view the inclusion of this subject in regular high school education positively to strengthen knowledge and awareness of the importance of IT security.

In a manufacturing environment, the continuous operation of production lines is of most importance to ensure optimal productivity and profitability. To maintain efficiency and safety, production lines often rely on systems that utilize data from sensors placed around the manufacturing process. These sensors provide valuable information about various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and volume, which are critical for monitoring and controlling the equipment. However, if these sensors fail and report incorrect data to the system, it can lead to people being hurt, and cause damage to the machines and the product. It is therefor critical that sensor failures are detected before an accident happens. Machine learning is highly capable of detecting anomalies in sensor data. The problem is that it requires all the data to be centralized to make a prediction. An alternative is to use Distributed Learning (DL) or Federated Learning (FL) approach, which overcomes the limitations of traditional machine learning. DL and FL enables multiple clients to train on data subsets, and send the model parameters to the server for aggregation, minimizing the data needed to be sent. This paper addresses which DL or FL approaches, and which machine learning algorithm can be used together to detect sensor anomalies in data. The Random Forest machine learning algorithm is selected for its proven usability in detecting anomalies in machine learning. Random Forest is evaluated on an dataset called Modular Ice cream factory Dataset on Anomalies in Sensor (MIDAS) in combination with two distributed approaches: horizontal FL and vertical DL. In the experiments, the horizontal FL server achieves a slightly lower accuracy than the clients do. The vertical DL server performs better than all its clients, but its accuracy is lower than the horizontal FL server.

The Bastnäs ore field, in central Sweden, is the cradle of the rare earth elements (REE). It is the place of the discovery of several REE and important REE-minerals (e.g., Bastnäsite one of the primary REE-ore minerals). In recent years there has been an increased interest due to rising demand of REE for technological applications. Several recent studies have focused on the mineralogy and geochemistry but a lack of fresh in situ samples has meant that textural and stratigraphic relationships are not as well described. Recent exploration in the area has produced drill core traverses across the host stratigraphy of the Bastnäs deposit, allowing the collection of relatively fresh in situ samples which can be placed in lithological context. Here we present new mineralogical and textural information linked to the lithology indicating that the REE-mineralisation in Bastnäs is commonly associated with magnetite skarn and that it occurs over a wide range of stratigraphic levels, ISBN for host publication: 978-2-8399-4046-7

INTRODUCTION: The credibility of model-based economic evaluations of Alzheimer's disease (AD) interventions is central to appropriate decision-making in a policy context. We report on the International PharmacoEconomic Collaboration on Alzheimer's Disease (IPECAD) Modeling Workshop Challenge.METHODS: Two common benchmark scenarios, for the hypothetical treatment of AD mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia, were developed jointly by 29 participants. Model outcomes were summarized, and cross-comparisons were discussed during a structured workshop.RESULTS: A broad concordance was established among participants. Mean 10-year restricted survival and time in MCI in the control group ranged across 10 MCI models from 6.7 to 9.5 years and 3.4 to 5.6 years, respectively; and across 4 mild dementia models from 5.4 to 7.9 years (survival) and 1.5 to 4.2 years (mild dementia).DISCUSSION: The model comparison increased our understanding of methods, data used, and disease progression. We established a collaboration framework to assess cost-effectiveness outcomes, an important step toward transparent and credible AD models.

In the Swedish educational system, there has been a recent push for digital technology in different school subjects. This paper investigates what regulates Swedish physical education teachers’ perceptions of digital technology in outdoor education. The results is reflected in a number of rules that govern Swedish physical education teachers’ perceptions and use of digital technology in outdoor education. Findings suggest that teachers’ views on the relevance of digital technology in outdoor education depends partly on curriculum formulations, but of significant importance are also other factors such as: the addressed knowledge area, grade level, choice of digital device, needs of students, and teachers’ ideological beliefs. These rules are discussed in relation to the construction of outdoor education as knowledge area within physical education and in relation to the ways in which Swedish physical education teachers relate to curriculum changes.

Background Women experiencing homelessness have complex and multifaceted healthcare needs and yet they are an underserved population across healthcare services. Nurses are trained to perform an integral role in the provision of equitable healthcare and their attitudes towards homelessness may therefore influence the care that women experiencing homelessness receive. This study aimed to examine correlations between attitudes towards homelessness and caring behaviours, and to test if these correlations differed between the groups of women experiencing homelessness, registered nurses, and nursing students. Methods A cross-sectional design using convenience sampling was used to recruit women experiencing homelessness (n = 37), registered nurses (n = 90), and nursing students (n = 138) in Stockholm, Sweden between August 2019 and December 2020. The participants answered two questionnaires: the Attitudes Toward Homelessness Inventory and the Caring Behaviours Inventory-24. Correlations between ordinal variables were calculated using Spearman's rank correlation rho. Tests of equality between two independent correlations were performed using a Z-test applied to Fisher's z-transformed correlations. An advisory board of women with lived experience of homelessness supported the interpretation of the results. Results Weak, negative correlations were identified between the Attitudes Toward Homelessness Inventory and Caring Behaviours Inventory-24. The Attitudes Toward Homelessness Inventory mean total scores (SD) were 4.1 (0.6), 4.2 (0.6), 4.1 (0.5) points for the women experiencing homelessness, registered nurse, and nursing student groups, respectively, with the corresponding scores for the Caring Behaviours Inventory-24 being 4.1 (1.1), 5.2 (0.5), 4.8 (0.7) points, respectively. Conclusions To promote equitable health for women experiencing homelessness, healthcare providers and nurse educators should consider the role of stigmatising attitudes in relation to caring behaviour

Objectives: A variety of non-evidence-based dietary advice on modified fibre and lactose intakes are provided to patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy to counteract treatment-related bowel symptoms. More knowledge on the nutritional consequences of such advice is needed. This study aimed to explore how advice on modified fibre and lactose intakes during pelvic radiotherapy was associated with nutrient intakes amongst patients with prostate cancer. Methods: A total of 77 Swedish men who underwent radiotherapy (50/2 Gy + boost 20-30 Gy) in 20092014 due to prostate cancer were given dietary advice at radiotherapy onset (baseline) and at 4 and 8 weeks after radiotherapy onset, to modify their fibre and lactose intakes. At baseline, the participants completed a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a 24-h dietary recall. At 4 and 8 weeks, the participants completed the FFQ and a 4-day estimated food record. Fibre and lactose intakes were measured by intake scores calculated from the FFQs. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyse associations between intake scores and fibre- and lactose-related nutrients. Results: In adjusted analyses, there were few significant associations between dietary advice on modified fibre and lactose intakes and observed intakes of fibre- and lactose-related nutrients. A more modified lactose intake was thus associated with a lower intake of calcium (P = 0.041), whilst a more modified fibre intake was associated with a higher value for the change in intake of vitamin C (P = 0.016). Conclusions: Dietary advice on modified fibre and lactose intake was in most cases not significantly associated with altered nutrient intakes, rather the energy and nutrient intakes were mostly stable during the pelvic radiotherapy. More research is needed on the nutritional consequences of dietary advice on modified fibre and lactose intakes to reach consensus on if they should continue to be provided in the clinic.

Atmospheric mineral dust not only interacts with the climate system by scattering incoming solar radiation and affecting atmospheric photochemistry, but also contributes critical nutrients to marine and terrestrial ecosystems. In a high-resolution analysis of paleodust deposition, peat development and soil dust sources, we assess the interplay between dust deposition and bog development of the Davidsmosse bog in south-western Sweden. Analyses of the 5400-year record (458 cm) included radiocarbon dating, bulk density, ash content, chemical and mineralogical composition and carbon stable isotopes, subsequently explored using principal component analysis. Fourteen dust events (DEs) were recorded (cal BP) in the peat sequence: 3580–3490; 3280; 3140; 3010–2840; 2740; 2610; 2480; 2340; 2240–2130; 1690; 1240; 960, 890–760, and 620–360. The majority of the DEs were coupled to increases in peat accumulation rates and increased nutrient content (N, P and K) suggesting that the DEs contributed with nutrients to the bog ecosystem, promoting increased accumulation. We also analyzed the chemical and mineral composition of potential mineral source deposits (separated into 6 grain-size fractions) from sites within a 4 km radius as well as aeolian dunes closer to the coast (25 km). The composition deposited on the present-day bog surface indicates that the bulk of the contemporary minerals have a local origin (<1.5 km), but the DEs may be of a more distant origin. The results also indicate that quartz and plagioclase feldspar content consistently increase with increasing grain-size, both in the source samples as well as in the peat sequence, and that the Si/Al ratio can be used to infer grain size changes in the peat. Two longer phases saw numerous DEs, between 2800 and 2130 cal BP and a stepwise increase from 960 towards 360 cal BP. The episodic character of the events, together with the inferred coarse grain size, suggest that the particles were deposited by (winter) storms. Fu

The scientific value of old and well-preserved collections is priceless. Samples that already have been studied and described can still give very useful information. For instance, minerals with complex solid solutions like amphiboles sometimes show new compositions that are feasible because of crystal-chemistry and charge arrangements, based on the current classification scheme by Hawthorne et al. (2012) for the amphibole supergroup. In the last four years, a fruitful collaboration between the Swedish Museum of Natural History and the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Milan has allowed the identification of new amphibole species, recognized by CNMNC-IMA. First of all, we identified hjalmarite, [ANaB(NaMn)CMg5TSi8O22W(OH)2], which is related to richterite via the homovalent substitution [B]Ca2+ → [B]Mn2+, and is the second recognized member of the sodium–(magnesium–iron–manganese) subgroup, after ferri-ghoseite. Sjögren (1891) had described a physically similar, MnO-rich sample from Långban, named “astochit”. A related amphibole, although belonging to a different subgroup, that we have formally described is potassic-richterite, [AKB(NaCa)CMg5TSi8O22W(OH)2]. It was found in a sample from the Pajsberg iron and manganese ore mines, which was originally collected by the mineralogist Lars Johan Igelström, probably in the 1850s. The most recent amphibole we have described is ferri-taramite [ANaB(NaCa)C(Mg3Fe3+2)T(Si6Al2)O22W(OH)2], found in a skarn sample from the Jakobsberg manganese mine: it was once examined by Flink (1914), who noted the unusual character of the amphibole and described it as a “strange hornblende”.

Rapporten undersöker hur bostadspriser påverkas av avståndet till kollektivtrafiken och sambandet det har till befolkningstätheten i området. Sedan så är det just också hur detta skiljer sig rent teoretiskt och i praktiken som skiljer det här arbetet från andra liknande arbeten då det oftast endast ett av detta och dess påverkan ligger i fokus. Insamlingen av data till arbetet har sket via den kvalitativ metod som avser att med hjälp av intervjuer, arkivdata och teorier som är anpassningsbara för att uppfylla syftet och besvara frågeställningen. Det finns några olika modeller och teorier som används som grund rent teoretiskt vid detta problem. Men stor skillnad mellan teorin och praktiken framkom snabbt då intervjuerna började då de flesta ej aktivt använde de modeller som kunde förklara avståndet till kollektivtrafikens påverkan samt befolkningstäthetens påverkan på bostadspriserna men i praktiken använde sig värderarna av marknadskännedom och ortsprismetoden vid nästan alla värderingar då de flesta ansågs att det räckte med dessa metoder för att värdera bostäder. Men så rent teoretiskt så finns det ett samband mellan avståndet till kollektivtrafiken och befolkningstäthet och det har oftast en positiv påverkan på bostadspriser men kan variera beroende på fler olika variabler som kan förekomma från fall till fall. Sedan så genom de fem intervjuer har empiriska data erhållits för att kunna koppla teorin till verkligheten. De fem respondenterna diskuterade först ifall sambandet fanns men även problematik med det, de flesta respondenter höll med att i praktiken finns det ett vist samband men att det var svårt att kvantifiera men att det ej är direkt och enbart mellan avståndet till kollektivtrafiken och befolkningstätheten då detta endast är två faktorer av väldigt många flera som påverkas tillsammans och förbättras oftast i liknande takt i följd av att det ställs högre krav och att ett område blir mer attraktivt att leva i. Slutligen så i praktiken behövs det i nuläge, The report examines how the housing prices get affected by the distance to public transport and the relationship it has with the population density in the area. Then it is precisely how this differs purely theoretically and in practice that separates this work from other similar work, since usually only one of this factors and its impact is in focus. The collection of data for the work has taken place via the qualitative method which intends to use interviews, archival data and theories that are adaptable to fulfil the purpose and answer the question. There are a few different models and theories that are used as a theoretical basis for this problem. But a big difference between theory and practice quickly emerged when the interviews began, as most did not actively use the models that could explain the impact the distance to public transport and the impact of population density on housing prices, but in practice the valuers used market knowledge and the local price method for almost all valuations as most considered that these methods were sufficient to value housing. But purely theoretically, there is a connection between the distance to public transport and population density, and this usually has a positive impact on housing prices but can vary depending on several different variables that can occur from case to case. Then through the five interviews, empirical data has been obtained to be able to connect the theory to reality. The five respondents first discussed whether the connection existed but also problems with it, most respondents agreed that in practice there is a certain connection but that it was difficult to quantify but that it is not directly and only between the distance to public transport and the population density as this are only two factors out of many that are affected together and usually improve at a similar rate as a result of higher demands being made and an area becoming more attractive to live in. Finally, in practice, there is currently

BACKGROUND: Homelessness is an increasing problem worldwide, and the origins of homelessness in high-income countries are multifaceted. Due to stigma and discrimination, persons in homelessness delay seeking health care, resulting in avoidable illness and death. The Attitudes Towards Homelessness Inventory (ATHI) was developed to cover multiple dimensions of attitudes toward persons in homelessness and to detect changes in multiple segments of populations. It has, however, not previously been translated to Swedish. AIMS: The aim of the present study was to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and psychometrically test the ATHI for use in a Swedish healthcare context. METHODS: The project used a traditional forward- and back-translation process in six stages: (1) two simultaneous translations by bilingual experts; (2) expert review committee synthesis; (3) blind back-translation; (4) expert review committee deliberations; (5) pre-testing with cognitive interviews including registered nurses (n = 5), nursing students (n = 5), and women in homelessness (n = 5); and (6) psychometric evaluations. The final ATHI questionnaire was answered by 228 registered nurses and nursing students in the year 2019. RESULTS: The translation process was systematically conducted and entailed discussions regarding semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine if the collected data fitted the hypothesized four-factor structure of the ATHI. Overall, it was found that the model had an acceptable fit and that the Swedish version of ATHI may be used in a Swedish healthcare context. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: The ATHI has been shown to be a psychometrically acceptable research instrument for use in a Swedish healthcare context. The systematic and rigorous process applied in this study, including experts with diverse competencies in translation proceedings and testing, improved the reliability and validity of the final Swedish versi
