Organic pollutants in aquatic environments pose a threat to ecosystems and human health, a challenge that requires urgent resolution. This urgent threat highlights the need for the development of efficient technologies for pollutant detection and degradation in environmental protection. This study presents the successful fabrication of a composite nanomaterial consisting of Ag nanoparticle-decorat
Aim: To provide an overview of a project aimed at enhancing person-centred surgical care through teamwork and professional development. Design: A discursive paper with the purpose of describing and discussing the project activities to strengthen person-centred care, teamwork and professional development. Methods: This project aimed to strengthen evidence-based surgical nursing care within a Surger
Objective To train and validate a deep learning-based diagnostic tool capable of accurately segmenting the alveolar cleft region and automatically estimating the required bone graft volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Study Design Eighty-eight CBCT scans from patients with nonsyndromic unilateral clefts were divided into training (n = 45), validation (n = 10), and test (n =
A search for the production of a Higgs boson and one or more charm quarks, in which the Higgs boson decays into a photon pair, is presented. This search uses proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis relies on the identification of charm-quark-containing
This paper presents a search for physics beyond the Standard Model targeting a heavy resonance visible in the invariant mass of the lepton-jet system. The analysis focuses on final states with a high-energy lepton and jet, and is optimised for the resonant production of leptoquarks — a novel production mode mediated by the lepton content of the proton originating from quantum fluctuations. Four di
Background. Seeking to clarify the parent-offspring transmission of Major Depression (MD) and type I Bipolar Disorder (BD), we examined offspring MD and BD risk in five informative parental pairs: Unaffected x MD, Unaffected x BD, MDxMD, MDxBD and BDxBD. Methods. We identified 289,637 individuals born in Sweden 1970-1990, followed through 2018, from parents with MD and/or BD identified from Swedis
Background: Limited evidence exists for effect modification of genetic characteristics on the associations of food consumption and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether the food-T2D association would vary by genetic susceptibility to metabolic traits. Methods: We analyzed data from 9542 incident T2D cases and a subcohort of 12,477 participants nested within th
BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study represents an external validation with model updating of the online DIGIROP-Prescreen and DIGIROP-Screen 2.0 prediction models, incorporating ≥14 days of parenteral nutrition as an additional predictor, to identify infants requiring treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a contemporary Swedish cohort, estimate potential cost savings and compare DIGIROP perfor
The World Health Organization rapports general low adherence to medical treatments in long term therapies among developed countries. The aim of this study was to analyse the individual variation in drug adherence to long term use. A set of individual data with people interviewed in year 2004/2005 was created from the Swedish Survey of Living Conditions and the Pharmaceutical Registry. The data set
In February 2002, the UNITA rebel leader Jonas Savimbi was shot dead by Angolan Government forces, thereby putting an end to almost four decades of war in Angola. Once peace had been declared, the Government of Zambia together with the Government of Angola and the UNHCR began to make arrangements for the voluntary repatriation of the large Angolan refugee population residing in Zambia. However, du
This study contributes to existing theory by underlining that product brands do have a gender. In addition, the results of this study show that the need for product gender congruence is minimized in Generation Y. Therefore, rethinking the traditional gender stereotyping of products may have more consumer appeal by being marketed to both sexes, or at least to emphasize more of the products attribut
Som en följd av att informationskompetens lyfts fram i Bolognaprocessen som ett betydelsefullt element i all högre utbildning har ämnet uppmärksammats i stigande grad inom universitetsvärlden. Bolognaprocessen har även föranlett ändringar i svensk lagstiftning som gör kursplaner till juridiskt bindande dokument. Kursplanernas lärandemål måste examineras för att man ska kunna säkerställa att de har
This paper addresses the problem of urban transport management in Sofia ? the capital city of Bulgaria. It highlights the tensions and contradictions in the current policy and practice and suggests that the adoption of mobility management in policy making would elevate municipal capacity to deal with complex transport-environment conflicts and set the framework for a sustainable development of the
Den 11 september 2001 innebar början på en stor förändring i amerikansk inrikes och utrikespolitik. I kriget mot terrorismen har en omfattande diskriminering skett av icke-amerikanska medborgare både inom landets gränser såväl som utanför. För att rättfärdiga detta för sitt eget folk samt det internationella samfundet har man i politiken och retoriken skapat bilden av "den andre" som ett
Islands? characteristics provide several advantages as laboratory for studying 100% renewable energy sources (RES) systems. Their isolation makes them a ?unique laboratories, to gain knowledge and understanding of people/environment relationships? ; to prove its feasibility and acquire the needed knowledge for such systems to work; to be pioneer project, basis of other islands? projects and even a
The increasing spread of global pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, in particular in developing countries, has forced the engagement of industrialized countries and pharmaceutical companies. Because medicines to cure these diseases are often under patent protection, they are not affordable for people in developing countries where health crises prevail. In November 2001, WTO
This master’s thesis aims to investigate how pilotage contributes to maritime safety and if its criteria can be more risk-based in Sweden. The theory of Resilience Engineering was applied to maritime safety which has extended the concept further. Several aspects of how pilots contribute to maritime safety were identified within the literature and empirical studies. These aspects were the pilots
Germany’s current energy grid was built to match energy production from major power plants (coal, gas, nuclear). Due to the 2011 decision to exit all nuclear power until 2022 and ambitious national CO 2 reduction targets, the need to modernise and extend the grid has received substantial attention. In the past, implementation of grid extension projects had shown to be slow and raise serious pu
Hydroelectric power is a controversial renewable energy. Adding more renewables to the energy mix is becoming more critical with the onslaught of climate change, while river health and water quality remain a highly pertinent environmental issue. Balancing the need for local renewable energy and environmental concerns is the topic of many cases. This thesis analyzes a case of conflict surrounding t
