Reinforcement-Learning-Based Routing and Resource Management for Internet of Things Environments: Theoretical Perspective and Challenges.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly popular due to their wide array of application domains. In IoT networks, sensor nodes are often connected in the form of a mesh topology and deployed in large numbers. Managing these resource-constrained small devices is complex and can lead to high system costs.

Optimising conditions and environments for digital participation in later life: A macro-meso-micro framework of partnership-building.

The ongoing digitalisation of societies, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to increased efforts to ensure the digital inclusion of older adults. Digital inclusion strategies throughout the COVID-19 pandemic predominantly focused on increasing access and basic digital literacy of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for all members of society. Older adults, who are more likely to experience digital exclusion, are amongst the target groups of digital inclusion strategies.

Improving the anti-inflammatory effect of serum eye drops using allogeneic serum permissive for regulatory T cell induction.

Purpose: To investigate the cytokine composition and anti-inflammatory effects of allogeneic serum preparations for improved use as serum eye drops.

Methods: Serum of 15 healthy blood donors was extensively screened for cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15, 1L-17A, E and F, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, IL-27, IL-28A, IL-31, IL-33, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20), tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and TNF-β, interferon (IFN)-γ and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. The levels of cytokines were assessed before and after heat-induced inactivation.

Usefulness of troponin levels below the diagnostic cut-off level for acute myocardial infarction in predicting prognosis in unselected patients admitted to the coronary care unit.

The present study evaluated the prognosis at different troponin concentrations regardless of the underlying diagnosis in an unselected group of patients admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) and whether the prognosis is dependent on the cause of the troponin increase. Troponin I was measured with the Stratus CS analyzer (Dade Behring) in 468 consecutively and unselected patients admitted to the CCU at Karolinska University Hospital with possible myocardial ischemia lasting <12 hours before arrival. A troponin I concentration below (0.
