Methods: We used a two-phase design with screening to detect candidates for clinical interviews. Screening included 949 adolescents (55.6% girls),
Background: Current EU directives demand increased use of renewable fuels in the transportation sector but restrict governmental support for production of biofuels produced from crops. The use of intercropped lucerne and wheat may comply with the directives. In the current study, the combination of ensiled lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) and wheat straw as substrate for hydrogen and methane productio
This article deploys narrative method to explore how young adults in China enrolled in higher education negotiate future intergenerational obligations. The study finds that the process through which filial piety is being renegotiated is complex and sometimes contradictory, and norms and values do not always align with practices, as intergenerational obligations need to be managed in tandem with ob
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice there is need for a simple and reliable test for determination of impaired renal function. With reductions in GFR, the plasma cystatin C concentration (C, mg/l) will increase earlier than serum creatinine, and it is generally agreed that plasma cystatin C is only little affected by body weight, age or sex. However, some reports indicate that cystatin C may be influ
Purpose: Resident microglial cells normally do not express sialoadhesin (a sialic acid binding receptor), whereas recruited inflammatory macrophages have been shown to do so. The expression of sialoadhesin was examined here in the course of photoreceptor cell degeneration and following transplantation. Methods: Sialoadhesin expression was analyzed in retinas of rd1 and rds mice. For transplantatio
Road safety is a critical concern for authorities worldwide. Traditional methods of monitoring traffic flow with today's technology usually involves visual observation or fixed sensor, which may have limitations in both accuracy and reliability. This study investigates the potential of LiDAR technology for traffic monitoring at intersections, with the aim of enhancing traffic safety. The met
Förekomsten av skada är ett nödvändigt rekvisit för skadeståndsskyldighet vid personskada. Huruvida rekvisitet har uppfyllts har länge varit oproblema- tiskt att avgöra. Först i slutet av 2023 behövde HD ta ställning till om personskada förelåg sedan kärande i målet menat att höga nivåer i blodet av evig-hetskemikalierna PFAS utgör personskada. Den väsentliga juridiska aspekten är att kärande inteInjury is a necessary requirement for establishing liability concerning personal injury. The requirement ́s fulfillment has long been unproblematic to determine. However, the unproblematic view was challenged in the end of 2023 when the Supreme Court needed to consider whether personal injury existed in the case of high levels of the eternity chemicals PFAS being dis- covered in the bloodstream of
High Tech security solutions refer to advanced and innovative technologies designed to protect assets, data and individuals from various threats.

Examples of high Technology security solutions include Biometric Access Control that uses fingerprints, iris and facial recognition, Surveillance drones with cameras for monito
Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
When designing an automatic brake control system for a car it is important to have a mathematical model of the vehicle to base the design upon. Since careful modeling of the entire car would encompass far too many variables, the most care is usually taken to the wheels and the tyres, as those parts contain most of the dynamics influential to the process. During braking the tyres deform because of
For some time now “Rondellen”, a roundabout just outside Folkets Park in Malmö, has been a place where drug transactions are taking place out in the open street. Buyers know that sellers will be there for a quick and easy transaction in a central part of Malmö. But why are the transactions taking place just there? A lot of people are passing by who can watch them trade or the police can come aroun

Ett samboförhållande är ett förhållande mellan två personer som stadigvarande bor tillsammans i ett parförhållande och har gemensamt hushåll. Med parförhållande avses en förbindelse vari som regel ingår sexuellt samliv. Sexuellt samliv är alltså en förutsättning för att ett förhållande ska kunna konstituera ett samboförhållande.

Sustainability reporting has shifted from voluntary to mandatory in the EU under the CSRD requiring companies to adopt a double materiality perspective and adhere to common reporting standards known as ESRS. This regulation aims to enhance transparency, reliability, and comparability of sustainability data, fostering more sustainable business models and changing established management practices. T
AIMS: Failure of healing is a well-known problem after repair of the rotator cuff. This study aimed to investigate if early repair of trauma-related full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) could prevent this failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective trial, 62 consecutive patients (14 women (23%), 48 men (77%); median age 61 years (interquartile range (IQR) 54 to 65)) with trauma-relate
