Optimising the development of sustainable internet-based occupational therapy interventions : Important key actions and perspectives to consider

Background: By examining the health needs of the general population and utilising the potential of digitalisation as a driving force, new internet-based services need to be developed in occupational therapy. However, existing guidelines for the development of complex interventions provide scant information on how to develop internet-based interventions. Aim: The aim of this paper is to share exper

Preparedness and Response to Pediatric COVID-19 in European Emergency Departments : A Survey of the REPEM and PERUKI Networks

Study objective: We aim to describe the variability and identify gaps in preparedness and response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in European emergency departments (EDs) caring for children. Methods: A cross-sectional point-prevalence survey was developed and disseminated through the pediatric emergency medicine research networks for Europe (Research in European Pediatric Emergency Medic

Deviants, Queers or Scissoring Sisters of Men? : Translating and Locating Queer and Trans Feminisms in the Arab World

This chapter provides an overview of LGBTQ+ organizations and movements in the Arabic-speaking world, as well as central themes and debates, including different strategies taken in translating terminology and developing a vocabulary to speak about nonnormative sex, gender, and identification in Arabic. Treating translation as performance, emphasizing the political impact of terminology, and viewin

"We Olaf" : Pro[(x-)NP] constructions in Icelandic and beyond

This article discusses and analyzes an unusual construction in Icelandic, with a plural pronoun in the singular reading and a directly juxtaposed or annexed NP (or DP), where, for example, vio Ólafur (literally "we.nom Olaf.nom") means 'Olaf and I'. We refer to this construction as Pro[NP]. Pro[NP] constructions have been reported for a handful of languages that lack a case system. Icelandic, in c

Reconstruction, with tunable sparsity levels, of shear wave velocity profiles from surface wave data

The analysis of surface wave dispersion curves is a way to infer the vertical distribution of shear wave velocity. The range of applicability is extremely wide: going, for example, from seismological studies to geotechnical characterizations and exploration geophysics. However, the inversion of the dispersion curves is severely ill-posed and only limited efforts have been put in the development of

From a rural idyll to an industrial site: an analysis of hydraulic fracturing energy sprawl in Central Appalachia

This paper analyzes land-system dynamics changes due to energy infrastructure development and explores the environmental and social ramifications of hydraulic fracturing, through a case study in Central Appalachia. Grounded in photographic data, satellite images, and ethnographic material, this study demonstrates landscape and embodied experiences of change over time. Data show major shifts in ter

Rethinking science communication: reflections on what happens when science meets comic art

In this essay, we explore what happens when science meets comic art and how such meeting offers an opportunity to rethink science communication. We base our discussion on our own experience, as research scholars, of engaging in a collaboration with a comic artist. Three key reflections are developed: how comic art may help to (1) conceptualize ideas in an early research phase, (2) clarify the main

Approximate Counting of k-Paths : Simpler, Deterministic, and in Polynomial Space

Recently, Brand et al. [STOC 2018] gave a randomized mathcal O(4kmϵ-2-time exponential-space algorithm to approximately compute the number of paths on k vertices in a graph G up to a multiplicative error of 1 ± ϵ based on exterior algebra. Prior to our work, this has been the state-of-the-art. In this article, we revisit the algorithm by Alon and Gutner [IWPEC 2009, TALG 2010], and obtain the foll

Energigemenskaper i Sverige

Gemensamt ägande av energi har funnits i Sverige i många år. Med Ren energi-paketet från EU etableras nu en lagstiftning som introducerar ”energigemenskaper” som en ny organisationsform på energimarknaden. Målet med denna rapport är att introducera energigemenskap, hur det beskrivs i Ren energi-paketet och i Energimarknadsinspektionens förslag till ny lag för Energigemenskaper i Sverige. I rapport

Time dependent reduced density matrix functional theory at strong correlation : Insights from a two-site Anderson impurity model

The one-body density matrix has recently attracted considerable attention as a promising key quantity for the description of systems out of equilibrium. Its time evolution is given in terms of the two-body density matrix, and thus the central challenge is to find approximations to the latter. An extra layer of difficulty is added when dealing with strong electron correlations. In this work, we exp

Social and Legal Trust: The Case of Africa

This essay examines the common empirical connection between trust in people in general (social trust) and trust in the courts and the police (so-called legal trust). In much of the world there is a strong correlation between social trust and legal trust, which is sometimes interpreted as a causal connection from legal trust to social trust. But in many African countries, the correlation breaks dow

Modifierat trä i bärande konstruktioner

Det stora träbyggandet har varit i blickfånget sedan våra byggregler ändrades i mitten av 1990-talet. En tydlig utveckling har skett vad gäller flervåningsbyggandet i trä. Användningen av trä i infrastrukturer som broar och vindkraftverk har också ökat, även om användningen av trä i sådana bärande utomhuskonstruktioner i allmänhet är blygsam. Genom att modifiera trä på kemisk väg kan många av de s

Systematic evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 antigens enables a highly specific and sensitive multiplex serological COVID-19 assay

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic poses an immense need for accurate, sensitive and high-throughput clinical tests, and serological assays are needed for both overarching epidemiological studies and evaluating vaccines. Here, we present the development and validation of a high-throughput multiplex bead-based serological assay. Methods: More than 100 representations of SARS-CoV-2 proteins were inclu

Pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia in the emergency department : surveying the current European practice

Procedural sedation and analgesia outside the operating theater have become standard care in managing pain and anxiety in children undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The objectives of this study are to describe the current pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia practice patterns in European emergency departments, to perform a needs assessment-like analysis, and to identify barr
