Seeking to critically contribute to the reflection on the articulation between neoliberalism, work and social protection, this article focuses on the Brazilian and Portuguese cases. The ar...

CCL2 expression predicts clinical outcomes and regulates E-cadherin and angioge...

The crosstalk between tumour cells and microenvironment components in pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs), including chemokines, may impact tumour behaviour and clinical outcomes. CCL2 was previously identified as a key chemokine in PitNETs, but its role remains unknown. We aimed to study the role of CCL2 in defining the phenotype and clinical outcomes of PitNETs and in regulating macrophage chemotaxis, ...

Improving Mobile-Based Cervical Cytology Screening: A Deep Learning Nucleus-Bas...

Liquid-based cytology (LBC) plays a crucial role in the effective early detection of cervical cancer, contributing to substantially decreasing mortality rates. However, the visual examination of microscopic slides is a challenging, time-consuming, and ambiguous task. Shortages of specialized staff and equipment are increasing the interest in developing artificial intelligence (AI)-powered portable solutions to ...

Formally verifying Kyber. Episode IV: implementation correctness

In this paper we present the first formally verified implementations of Kyber and, to the best of our knowledge, the first such implementations of any post-quantum cryptosystem. We give a (readable) formal specification of Kyber in the EasyCrypt proof assistant, which is syntactically very close to the pseudocode description of the scheme as given in the most recent version of the NIST submission. We present hi...
