Solid dispersions are promising drug delivery forms which offer the possibility to disperse a hydrophobic drug in a hydrophilic matrix and thereby improve the dissolution behavior and the bioavailability of the drug. One important aspect and a prerequisite in understanding the drug dissolution mechanism from solid dispersions is a better analytical monitoring of the solid dispersion surface proper

Quantum technologies and experiments often require preparing systems in low-temperature states. Here we investigate cooling schemes using feedback protocols modeled with a quantum Fokker-Planck master equation (QFPME) recently derived by Annby-Andersson et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 050401 (2022)0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.129.050401]. This equation describes systems under continuous weak measure

Mitochondrial replacement therapy has been developed in order to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial mutations, yet it raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding the involvement of third-party DNA and the risks associated with donor procedures. This paper explores an alternative approach using synthetic DNA (synDNA) to construct mitochondrial organelles, thereby bypassing the need for d

J. S. Wilson proved in 1971 an isomorphism between the structural lattice associated to a group belonging to his second class of groups with every proper quotient finite and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of Cantor’s ternary set. In this paper we generalize this isomorphism to the class of branch groups. Moreover, we show that for every faithful branch action of a group G on a spherically h

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that offers near real-world experiences in various fields. With the widespread use of virtual environments designed to provide VR experiences, the amount of data collected from these environments has increased rapidly. However, as the volume of data grows, there is a need to develop analysis processes and advance the data-driven development model. In this study

Monitoring agricultural land with optical remote sensing offers a valuable tool for estimating crop yield and supporting decision-making for food security. Cropland phenology indicators, such as the start of season (SOS), the end of season (EOS), and the number of growing seasons per year, provide essential information for land managers. While established toolboxes like TIMESAT have been extractin

During the past decade, scholars have produced a vast amount of research using linked historical individual-level data, shaping and changing our understanding of the past. This linked data revolution has been powered by methodological and computational advances, partly focused on supervised machine-learning methods that rely on training data. The importance of obtaining high-quality training data

The emergence of cyber mistreatment among frontline workers in their digital interactions with customers, clients and patients represents a significant but relatively new work environment risk within the service sector. Human resource management has a key role in digital transformation, which includes securing safe and healthy workplaces and fostering sustainable practices for handling cyber mistr

This Perspective suggests six conceptual propositions to advance care-centric planning and governance in support of SDG 11. By prioritizing relationships, responsiveness, and collective well-being, while also integrating empowerment, environmental stewardship, and cultural diversity, a care-centric approach fosters more inclusive and sustainable cities. Drawing on selected practice-based examples,

Through a systematic review this study critically examines existing peer-reviewed evidence on the often-overlooked gender dimensions of the just energy transition. We found 52 peer-review journal papers focusing on three main themes: (1) how energy production can worsen pre-existing gender-based vulnerabilities, (2) how energy consumption can reproduce gender-based energy poverty and (3) how femin

Spine Computed Tomography (SCT) is essential for identifying fractures, tumors and degenerative spine diseases, assisting medical practitioners in formulating an accurate diagnosis and treatment. One of the core element of SCT is reporting. The effectiveness of spine reporting is often limited by challenges such as an inadequate infrastructure and lack of experts. Automated SCT analysis has the po

This paper focuses on how one can relate management thinking/practices to entrepreneurial processes in the context of formal organization. In order to do this we develop a number of related 'spatial concepts' providing us with the possibility of describing entrepreneurship as a 'creation and use of space for play/innovation'. Using concepts of space, the managerial and the entrepreneurial dimensio

Accident models and analysis methods affect what accident investigators look for, which contributory factors are found, and which recommendations are issued. This paper contrasts the Sequentially Timed Events Plotting (STEP) method and the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) for accident analysis and modelling. The main issue addressed in this paper is the comparison of the established mul

Public Procurement for Innovation (PPI) requires multiple roles from the public administration according to the problem-solution space, delineated by the level of consensus around the definition of the needs of the contracting authority and the potential solutions to address them. Each role involves a distinct mix of capabilities, which we categorize as ordinary (i.e. doing things right), dynamic

Sustainable Developments by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Renewable Energies analyzes the changes in this energy generation shift, including issues of grid stability with variability in renewable energy vs. traditional baseload energy generation. Providing solutions to current critical environmental, economic and social issues, this book comprises various complex nonlinear inter

Background: Dexmedetomidine is a selective alpha-2 agonist with minimal impact on the haemodynamic profile. It is thought to be safer than morphine or stronger opioids, which are drugs currently used for analgesia and sedation in newborn infants. Dexmedetomidine is increasingly being used in children and infants despite not being licenced for analgesia in this group. Objectives: To determine the o

In this chapter, I problematise how “heroes” can be constructed in modern football clubs in spite of constant change and short stays. Narratives from the transfer system in Sweden are juxtaposed with media stories about players’ rationale for staying, transferring or choosing a certain club. The analysis suggests that the persistence of the hero-story and emotional connections are possible to forg
