Landfills have played a significant role in the recovery of white storks (Ciconia ciconia) populations across various European countries. While there is ample information about the populational-level effects, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the individual effects of using this food resource for feeding nestlings. This study aims to assess the nutritional status and oxidative stress balance

While the Swedish Police, in the geographical area in which they operate, as well as each municipality in Sweden, are responsible for making their residents feel secure, this thesis examines the causes behind the increased feelings of insecurity among residents in Östra Göinge municipality. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the link between the practices of the local police in Östra

Snowmelt intensities for design in different environments and different stage of the snowmelt period are suggested

Background: Benign peripheral nerve tumours consist of different types, most commonly Schwannomas. Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is commonly performed before surgery and Pathoanatomical Diagnosis (PAD) confirms the diagnosis. Our aims were to study the utility of MRI and the relation between tumour size and symptoms. Methods: Retrospectively, patients, surgically treated for benign

PURPOSE: Many municipalities today, together with other stakeholders, offer group exercises for the older population via municipal meeting places, focusing on promoting good health. During the Covid-19 pandemic, these group exercises either continued in a modified form or ceased. The aim of this study was to explore involved stakeholders' experiences of group exercises for older persons arranged v

INTRODUCTION: Psychiatric disorders are common during pregnancy, affecting up to 16% of pregnant women. Severe depression and anxiety have significant negative effects on the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is considered a treatment option for pregnant women with severe psychiatric disorders when other treatments have been ineffective or pose ris

Storytelling is an important tool of public engagement for researchers, not least for climate scholars. However, a problem arises when stories are treated instrumentally as means of delivering specific messages and as information sources. In particular, controlled experiments measuring the impact of stories on readers may misrepresent how stories work in practice. In this article, we shift perspec

This chapter departs from two research projects to present the learnings, methodological challenges, and recommendations when involving users in participatory approaches of design research in home care. In the first project, older participants collected data through solicited diaries and photo elicitation, reflecting about their use of multiple medications and difficulties experienced with medicat

Ice observations were made in the Rane River 1974-1978. Observations of formation of ice, growth of ice, critical velocities, hydrodynamic stability, supercooled water, ice production in rapids and breakup were theoretically analyzed. Depending on the water velocity an ice cover formed after 40-100 negative °C-degree-days. The growth of ice took place at a static growth when the water velocity was

This article addresses the problem of basis correction in the context of linear switched-system (LSS) identification from input–output data. It is often the case that identification algorithms for the LSSs from input–output data operate locally. The local submodel estimates, identified individually by subspace algorithms from the input-output data, reside in different-state bases, which mandates p
