We present technology-adjusted consumption-based accounting (TCBA) – a measure of shared responsibility for global greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike in conventional consumption-based accounting (CBA), countries are assigned the emission responsibility for the technology they use to produce their exports. This ensures that national emission responsibilities are not driven by differences in export pr

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACrtHR) has developed in recent years an innovative jurisprudence that has integrated the entity and extension of States’ obligations regarding children’s rights—as established in Article 19 ACHR—through the evolutive, dynamic, and effective interpretation of the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR). In fact, by acknowledging the existence of an int

A promising nanomaterial, magnesium oxide (MgO) and a commonly studied nanomaterial, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) were used to enhance the thermal conductivity of two ionic liquids, i.e., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([emim][DCa]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide ([emim][TCM]) of potential as heat transfer medium. Effects of nanoparticle material, size, shape as well as mass

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) give rise to all types of blood lineages, including red blood cells (RBC). Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) are known to be functionally diverse in terms of their self-renewal potential and lineage output. Consequently, investigation of molecular heterogeneity in the differentiation potential of HSPC is vital to identify novel regulators that affect generat

This chapter contains an overview of general policies regarding student housing in Sweden, a desription of market conditions for students renting a room or an apartment, and the legal framework regulating student housing in Sweden, including the rental contract.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), metal-backed (MBT) and all-polyethylene (APT) designs have shown comparable implant migration up to 2 years postoperatively using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). However, studies comparing mid-term migration of both designs are lacking. Furthermore, continuously migrating TKAs up to 2 years may continue to migrate or stabilize thereafter.

Syzygium cumini, locally known as Jamun in Asia, is a fruit-bearing crop belonging to the Myrtaceae family. This study aims to summarize the most recent literature related to botany, traditional applications, phytochemical ingredients, pharmacological activities, nutrition, and potential food applications of S. cumini. Traditionally, S. cumini has been utilized to combat diabetes and dysentery, an

Background: The Second Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI-II) risk score is recommended by guidelines to identify low-risk patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) for an early discharge strategy. Aims: We aimed to assess the safety of early discharge (≤2 days) for low-risk STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Using

The United Nations is the arena for a renewed push to regulate transnational corporations (TNCs) and their supply chains. This article analyses the ongoing efforts of a multilateral organization to strengthen the human rights legal framework, especially the design choices posed by the treaty negotiations as well as the role of the UN Human Rights Council in the broader regulatory ecosystem around

BACKGROUND: Based on clinical and genetic associations, axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are suspected to have a linked pathogenesis. Gut dysbiosis, intrinsic to IBD, has also been observed in axSpA. It is, however, not established to what degree gut dysbiosis is associated with axSpA disease severity. The objective of this study was to compare gut dysbiosis fre

The viral replication cycle is controlled by information transduced through both molecular and mechanical interactions. Viral infection mechanics remains largely unexplored, however, due to the complexity of cellular mechanical responses over the course of infection as well as a limited ability to isolate and probe these responses. Here, we develop an experimental system consisting of herpes simpl

Background: The desire to be a mother is much more than a reproductive instinct in pro-baby (pro-natal) society. Motherhood is a complex phenomenon that encompasses psychological, social, and cultural aspects of a woman's holisticwell-being. A woman's socio-cultural visibility is enhanced through motherhood, which also strengthens her psychological status, enriches her spiritual experience, and en

Objective: To compare the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC), including the maternal and perinatal outcomes, in two historical cohorts before and after the implementation of specific changes in the clinical practice. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, Sweden. Participants: including all women with one previous cesarean section (CS),
