Ethiopia is implementing a Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) as of 2005, claimed to be the largest social protection program in Africa, which sets out to link relief to development and curb the country’s long over dependence on food aid. This research,thus explores the theoretical framework regarding social protection programs and their ability to bridge the gap between relief and development b
AimsSocial participation is an important determinant of health-related behaviours and health. Communication disorders such as stuttering may be associated with participation. Research concerning the association between stuttering and social participation among older adults is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this population-based cross-sectional study was to investigate associations between self-perc
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the Indigenous peoples of Australia, inhabited this continent thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans. Prior to the arrival of the white man the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, hereafter referred to as the Aboriginals, practiced their own culture and applied their own laws without interference from external powers. Some scientists clai
Rå biogas är varm, mättad med vatten och innehåller små mängder av korrosiva spårämnen när den lämnar rötkammaren. I detta skick kan gasen inte levereras till uppgraderingsenheten som tar bort koldioxid, vattenånga och andra föroreningar för att leverera biometan som uppfyller fastställda kvalitetskrav. Den höga fuktigheten kombinerat med reaktiva ämnen leder till okontrollerad kondensation och koRaw biogas leaving an anaerobic digester is warm, saturated with water vapor, and contains small amounts of corrosive trace compounds. In this state, the gas cannot be fed directly to an upgrading system, where carbon dioxide, water vapor and other contaminants are removed to produce biomethane that meets a predefined quality. High humidity combined with reactive species promotes uncontrolled cond
The topic of Nord Stream 2 was a centrepiece of many discussions about reliance on Russia despite its dubious actions against Ukraine since 2014. The decision to construct the pipeline in 2015 and continue it despite many objections from both inside and outside of the European Union in the following years only fed the discourse. This thesis asks the following Research Question: To what extent can
AbstractIntroductionWork environments are rapidly changing in Europe, with climate change, the transition to the circular economy, and expansion of work in green jobs among key factors. Research and interventions are urgently needed to promote worker health and well-being. The European Union (EU) INTERCAMBIO project is the first large-scale initiative to systematically assess mental and physical h
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed lung cancer treatment, yet their effectiveness seem restricted to certain patient subsets. Current clinical stratification on the basis of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression offers limited predictive value. Given the mechanism of action, directly detecting spatial programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)–PD-L1 interactions m
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant health threat for adults. Although conjugate vaccines have reduced pneumococcal CAP incidence in children, Streptococcus pneumoniae-related CAP remains prevalent among older adults. The nasopharynx acts as a reservoir for S. pneumoniae, yet the interplay between this pathogen and the nasopharyngeal microbiome during and after pneumonia remains po
ObjectivesThis nested case–control study aimed to investigate the relationship between components of the Swedish food-based dietary guidelines (SDG) from 2015 and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsData were obtained from the prospective Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) conducted 1991–1996. Diet was assessed at baseline using a validated diet history method. Incident RA case
Sepsis remains a major clinical challenge due to the limited efficacy of existing therapies in controlling excessive inflammation. The engineered stapled peptide sHVF18, derived from an evolutionarily conserved thrombin innate fold, binds both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the LPS-binding groove of CD14, enabling dual targeting of bacterial components and host immune signaling. To define structural
In June 2024, the community of Roxborough Park, Colorado conducted a wildfire evacuation exercise (or drill for short) that was observed by a team of researchers. This collaborative effort involved residents, community organizers, first responders, emergency managers, and researchers. The drill aimed to test and refine evacuation protocols, communication strategies, and coordination among various
Vaccination of neonates and young infants is hampered by the relative immaturity of their immune systems and the lack of safe and efficacious vaccine adjuvants. Immaturity of the follicular dendritic cells (FDCs), in particular, appears to play a critical role for the inability to stimulate immune responses. Using the CD21mT/mG mouse model we found that at 7 days of life, FDCs exhibited a mature p
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has considerably impacted negatively on many aspects of human life such as access to basic necessities including water, energy and food. This article aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the water, energy and food accessibility in Katsina state, Nigeria. The survey involved the administration of a questionnaire to a total of 900 households out of
Objectives To examine the associations between socioeconomic position (SEP) and the incidence of serious hand infections—pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis (PFT) and septic arthritis (SA)—as well as risks of opioid overuse following diagnosis using nation-level data. Design In a registry-based nationwide retrospective cohort study, (1) associations between SEP and incidence of PFT/SA; (2) SEP and infec

We present an update of a search for supersymmetry in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum, and one isolated electron or muon, using 1.04 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at root s =7 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in the first half of 2011. The analysis is carried out in four distinct signal regions with either three or four jets and variations on the (
