Global health is a multidisciplinary field focused on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic left a profound and lasting impact on global mental health, triggering a surge in anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders across all age groups and regions. As the world transitions into the post-COVID period, mental health has emerged as a
We present a new methodology, which we call Single Pair of Observations Technique with Eddy Covariance (SPOT-EC), to estimate regional-scale surface fluxes of 222Rn from tower-based observations of 222Rn activity concentration, CO2 mole fractions and direct CO2 flux measurements from eddy covariance. For specific events, the regional (222Rn) surface flux is calculated from short-term changes in am
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Post-treatment, patients suffer from side effects and have various rehabilitation needs, which means that individualization is fundamental for optimal rehabilitation. This systematic review (SR) of SRs aims to evaluate the current evidence on rehabilitation interventions in female patients following BC treatment.M
Purpose: Elevated copeptin, a vasopressin marker, is linked to metabolic disease, and obese rats with low-vasopressin concentration had a decreased risk of liver steatosis. We here investigated the association between copeptin and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and possible differences in copeptin concentration between ethnicities. Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 361 South Afri
‘Creativity’ has become a buzzword throughout educational debates and strategy papers worldwide. By linking creativity to innovative capacity, it is commonly associated with the challenges and opportunities as generated by the knowledge economy. While the importance of creative approaches to learning is generally accepted, it has proven much more difficult to define and potentially assess skills a
Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease with a close association between incidence and mortality. First-line (FL) palliative chemotherapy prolongs survival and alleviates cancer-related symptoms. However, the survival benefit of second-line (SL) treatment is uncertain, as studies fail to consistently show prolonged survival for any given SL treatment, and in the absence of progn
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the emotional well-being of expecting mothers. Sweden's unique strategy for managing COVID-19 involved no national lockdown. Emphasis was instead placed on limiting crowding and asking citizens to practice social distancing measures.AIM: To gain a deeper understanding of how women not infected by SARS-CoV-2 experienced pregnancy during
Metabolism plays a central role in evolution, as resource conservation is a selective pressure for fitness and survival.Resource-driven adaptations offer a good model to study evolutionary innovation more broadly. It remains unknown howresource-driven optimization of genome function integrates chromatin architecture with transcriptional phase transitions.Here we show that tuning of genome architec
This state-of-the-art handbook, the third and final in a series that provides medical physicists with a comprehensive overview into the field of nuclear medicine, focuses on highlighting the production and application of radiopharmaceuticals. With this, the book also describes the chemical composition of these compounds, as well as some of the main clinical applications where radiopharmaceuticals
Background: Mobile app-based tools have the potential to yield rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive measures for detecting dementia-related cognitive impairment in clinical and research settings. At the same time, there is a substantial need to validate these tools in real-life settings. The primary aim of this study was thus to evaluate the feasibility, validity, and reliability of mobile app-bas

Mycoprotein from the fungi Fusarium Venenatum A3/5 has been used as a meat alternative for a long time but little attention has been paid to the waste it creates. When the fungi is fermenting it uses a lot of water which is sent to the drain after the process is finished. This water contains large quantities of both nutrients and biomass. As circular economy is becoming more important for environm
In the field of educational psychology are two type of learning approaches commonly mentioned; deep learning and surface learning. These two learning approaches contains methods used by the students, for instance, memorizing (surface learning) and hypothesize (deep learning). Several previously performed studies showed a connection between a high academic level, good grades and a high usage of the
År 2020 anger 212 av 286 kommuner i Sverige att de har ett underskott på bostäder i kommunen som helhet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och bostadsbeståndet hänger inte med. I studien syftar bostadsbristen till definitionen som är skillnaden mellan vad som kollektivt uppfattas som en godtagbar bostadssituation och det faktiska läget på marknaden. Situationer som inte kollektivt anses vara godtagbara bosThe housing responsibility in Sweden is primarily controlled by the municipalities. The municipalities in Sweden have a monopoly on controlling land use with detailed development plans. The population rises every day and the majority of the Swedish municipalities confirms having lack of housing. This study has been made in order to investigate how five municipalities work with their housing respon
In Bhutan, post-harvest losses are a significant challenge for many small scale farmers, especially in rural areas. Since these losses impact the ability to preserve foods during the peak harvesting seasons, this has a wide range of consequences, both for the farmers themselves and for the country as a whole. It contributes to food insecurity, economic uncertainty and the nutritional deficiencies

The Käppala WWTP data is modelled by using WEST software to evaluate how the storm water affects the treatment plant process and to use the flow data from Ryaverket WWTP to the Käppala WWTP model in order to model. The flow estimation method which gives best results for the flow data over a long period on the low flow occurrence is 95 percentile flow estimation method. This method was used to dete
Uppsatsens fokus ligger på att undersöka effekterna av det 21 december 2012 ikraftträdda förbudet mot könsdifferentierade försäkringspremier och –ersättningar. Förbudet har sin bakgrund i ett mål i EU-domstolen, där domstolen kom att ogiltigförklara en undantagsregel som gav medlemsstaterna möjlighet att på obestämd tid tillåta användandet av kön som faktor vid försäkringsföretagens beräknande av The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and analyze the impact of the prohibition against the use of sex as a factor in the calculation of premiums and benefits for the purpose of insurance services that entered into force 21 December 2012. The prohibition is a result of a judgment by the European Court of Justice declaring that the exception in Directive 2004/113/EC, giving member states t
After more than 50 years of internal armed conflict, the peace agreement between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia- People’s Army (FARC-EP) raises both hope and concern. There are several opportunities for people, derived from wealth and land redistribution. However, the environmental sustainability of the mechanisms to implement the agreements represent the b
