Background/Objectives: This study explores the relationship between cognitive performance measured by the Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) and the severity of self-reported head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, and psychosocial dysfunction in a population of trauma-affected refugees. Refugees, especially those who have been subjected t

Colombia has received global attention for their innovative response to the Venezuelan migration crisis. However, the question remains; has this response translated into an improved access to contraceptives for Venezuelan women in Colombia? This study aims to explore how migrants and health staff perceive access to contraceptives, how migration status and socioeconomic situation impede this access

Superporous particles contain two sets of pores, normal diffusion pores and very large flow pores. If such particles are used chromatographically, part of the flow will pass through each particle. This leads to a rapid equilibration between the stationary and the mobile phases, even if the superporous particle has a large outer diameter. Superporous particles are thus chromatographically efficient

New methods and applications in the separation of biomolecules are reviewed, with an emphasis on the large-scale recovery of proteins. Highlights include the advent of flow-through particles in perfusion chromatography, which allows for very high flow rates, while retaining a high chromatographic efficiency.

This paper tries to understand the relationship between mobile money and financial literacy, and further down examines whether any potential relationship would also imply a causal effect by mobile money on financial literacy. The analysis is done in the context of Kenya, a pioneer in mobile money with its implementation of M-Pesa drastically changing the economic climate in the country. The relati

Digital Twins are realistic digital representations of the physical world, frequently characterised by a two way link between digital and physical. Originating in manufacturing, they are now expanding to city and national scales. In this paper we explore connections between Geographic Information Science and National Digital Twins. Six different viewpoints and perspectives are presented on the top

Daylight analysis is often carried out when definitive decisions about space characteristics such as materials, colours, window characteristics and furnishing have not yet been made. Such late design choices, which are first introduced or can still be changed late in the design process or even after its conclusion, impact the daylight levels of interior spaces. This study explored the impact of la

The Öresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark was opened in 2000, allowing both road traffic and fast commuter trains to travel between Malmö and Copenhagen. Various agreements have long facilitated passport-free travel. However, at the end of 2015, temporary border controls were first introduced. This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of portrayals in the news media and everyday mobili

Hazel (Corylus avellana) has been abundant in the vegetation of northern and central Europe since the early Holocene and has provided food and materials for humans ever since. Here we use stable carbon isotope (δ13C) values of hazelnut shells to infer woodland openness based on the premise of the “canopy effect”. It is well established that plants growing in dense, shaded forests have lower carbon

Rapid warming increases winter soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux in Arctic tundra ecosystems, which can significantly offset carbon (C) uptake during growing seasons and affect the overall annual C balance. In winter, the Arctic landscape is predominantly covered with snow, which is vital for regulating ecological processes. Nevertheless, the impact of snow redistribution on the spatial distributio

Daylight analysis informs design decisions in architectural spaces, yet materials, colours, and furnishings - often chosen later - can significantly impact indoor daylighting. This study assessed these effects in a typical open-plan office in Copenhagen using parametric simulations with Radiance through Honeybee in Grasshopper, complemented by a sensitivity analysis following the Morris method. Va

United Airlines is a major American airline company founded in 1926, which operates both domestic and international routes. They have experienced past reputational damage, and have suffered a loss in legitimacy as critics have questioned their practices. Using the Legitimacy Theory and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) as basis, a thematic content analysis (specifically template analy

I takt med att samhället digitaliseras ökar även tillgängligheten till olika kommunikationsforum där samspel mellan individer och organisationer är nödvändigt för att bibehålla förtroende mellan parterna. Som resultat av en stigande digital närvaro ökar även organisationers behov att hantera krissituationer i en kommunikativ kontext. En konsekvens av digitaliseringen som uppmärksammats mer och merAs our society becomes increasingly digitised, a growing number of communication platforms emerge, necessitating interaction between individuals and organisations to sustain trust between them. One consequence of digitalisation that has gained more and more attention is the occurrence of cyber attacks, whose increased presence poses serious threats to individuals, organisations and society at larg

Studie syfte är att ge en mer nyanserad förståelse och utforska konsumenters attityder gentemot miljömässigt hållbara annonser inom energisektorn och dess påverkan på konsumenternas varumärkesattityd. Målet är att identifiera och förklara relationen mellan dessa begrepp. Genom detta bidrar studien till det strategiska kommunikationsfältet genom att fördjupa kunskapen inom en begränsad och utmanad This study aims to gain a more nuanced understanding and explore consumers’ attitudes towards environmental sustainability advertisements in the energy industry and its effect on consumer brand attitude. Thus, the purpose is to identify and explain the relationship between these constructs. In doing so, this study contributes to the field of strategic communication by gaining knowledge within a li

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur en cyberattackkris påverkar allmänhetens attityder gentemot en organisation samt organisationens rykte. Studien utforskar teorin Situational Crisis Communication Theorys (SCCT) offerkategorisering av en cyberattackkris i en svensk kontext. Vidare undersöks hur individers kunskap om cyberattacker, tillskrivning av krisansvar och nyttjande av olika responssThis study aims to examine how a cyber attack crisis affects public attitudes toward an organization and the organization’s reputation. The study explores the Situational Crisis Communication Theory’s (SCCT) victim categorization of a cyber attack crisis in a Swedish context. Further, it examines how individuals’ knowledge about cyber attacks, attribution of crisis responsibility, and response str

Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resulAlthough the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone.
