We introduce a method for deriving a metric, locally based on the Fisher information matrix, into the data space. A self-organizing map (SOM) is computed in the new metric to explore financial statements of enterprises. The metric measures local distances in terms of changes in the distribution of an auxiliary random variable that reflects what is important in the data. In this paper the variable indicates bankruptcy within the next few years. The conditional density of the auxiliary variable is first estimated, and the change in the estimate resulting from local displacements in the primary data space is measured using the Fisher information matrix. When a self-organizing map is computed in the new metric it still visualizes the data space in a topology-preserving fashion, but represents the (local) directions in which the probability of bankruptcy changes the most.

Advancing research and policy in climate and health in the Nordic countries: Key challenges and opportunities for future action.
Scand J Public Health
January 2025
Department for Air Quality and Noise, Divison for Climate and Environmental Health.
Aim: This editorial presents state of the art developments in research and policy in the newly emerging field of climate and health and examines the gaps in research, the relevance of Nordic research in a global context, and the need to place the climate-health agenda in the policy space.
Methods: We use a set of articles from the Special Issue on 'Climate change and health in the Nordic countries' in this journal to understand current research in climate and health. We identify three emerging areas that characterize the current focus of research: modelling climate change-induced exposures; health cross-linkages of the climate health agenda and targeted communication.
A physical optics formulation of Bloch waves and its application to 4D STEM, 3D ED and inelastic scattering simulations.
Acta Crystallogr A Found Adv

Bloch waves are often used in dynamical diffraction calculations, such as simulating electron diffraction intensities for crystal structure refinement. However, this approach relies on matrix diagonalization and is therefore computationally expensive for large unit cell crystals. Here Bloch wave theory is re-formulated using the physical optics concepts underpinning the multislice method.

Department of Geography and Spatial Information Techniques, Ningbo University, Ningbo, China.
Introduction: The healthy aging of older adults in dual-older adult communities is influenced by multiple factors, and understanding its underlying mechanisms can promote healthy aging among the older adults in a wide range of developing countries. This comprehensive study delves into the intricate interplay between multifaceted built environmental factors, and their direct and indirect effects on the successful AIP residing in double-aging neighborhoods.
Methods: Applying a series of HLM, the research meticulously explores the intricate links between SAIP and multi-scale aging spaces, including home space, community social participation, and built environments.
