BackgroundTo enable people with stroke to achieve an active everyday life under altered conditions, the development of self-management programs is essential to facilitate the process of change that individuals must undergo. To improve access to self-management, internet-based solutions have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel internet-based intervention,

Existentiella hot, inklusive hot mot jaget, samhället och planeten, förekommer genom hela livet och utgör en central del av den mänskliga erfarenheten. För att sammanföra kunskap och begrepp om hur människor kan hantera existentiella hot på ett adekvat sätt sammankallade vi en tvärvetenskaplig arbetsgrupp bestående av åtta forskare från fälten psykologi, systematisk teologi, praktisk teologi, reliExistential threats, including threats to the self, society, and the planet, are present throughout the lifespan and form a core element of the human experience. To consolidate knowledge and constructs about how people can adequately respond to existential threats, we convened an interdisciplinary working group, which consisted of eight researchers from the fields of psychology, systemic theology,

1911 beslöt stadsfullmäktige i Malmö enhälligt och utan debatt att införa en kommunal bostadsinspektion. I denna artikel undersöks bostadsinspektionens härkomst genom att följa olika problematiseringar som inspektion sades lösa hos stadens förvaltningar, den lokala arbetarrörelsen och Fredrika-Bremerförbunds-kretsen i Malmö. Undersökningen visar att urbana aktörer som delvis befann sig utanför parIn 1911 the Swedish city of Malmö got its first housing inspection service. It was put forward in a motion by two social-democratic city councillors and supported by conservative councillors as well as by the women’s movement. The vote in the city council passed unanimously and without discussion. This article focuses on how the question of housing was articulated in a way that meant inspections w

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a serious condition that increases with age. It is valuable to identify the reasons why some are affected, and possibly, why different personality traits can be associated with an increased or decreased risk for myocardial infarction. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on wave 7 data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (S

Lysozyme is a model system for crystallographers. In this issue of Structure, Ramos et al. report atomic resolution neutron structures of lysozyme, which unambiguously show the protonation states and hydrogen-bonding networks of the active site. This resolves mechanistic questions that have been debated for decades and provides a unique view to a protein at atomic detail.

To address the challenges of energy transition necessary for sustainable development, incumbents must implement innovations, some of which are radical compared with their current competence-base or market solutions. This requires a thorough understanding of the prerequisites for implementing innovation. The literature on the factors influencing incumbents' implementation is vast and dispersed acro

OBJECTIVES: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive adjunct to multimodal pain management for acute postoperative care across various surgeries. Despite extensive evidence supporting its efficacy, TENS remains underutilized in clinical practice. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare professionals regarding TENS in perioperative

Multivariate random sums appear in many scientific fields, most notably in actuarial science, where they model both the number of claims and their sizes. Unfortunately, they pose severe inferential problems. For example, their density function is analytically intractable, in the general case, thus preventing likelihood inference. In this paper, we address the problem by the method of moments, unde

Solar drying, utilizing solar energy to extract moisture from foodstuff, is a highly effective method for extending the shelf life of for instance fruits and vegetables. The utilization of solar dryers brings numerous benefits, e.g., it reduces reliance on fossil fuels and electricity and establishing an environmentally sustainable and relatively cheap option for food preservation. In this researc

I denna artikel undersöks hur hemtjänsten påverkar äldre personer i Sverige, med fokus på hur den på ett subtilt sätt kan institutionalisera deras dagliga liv. Hemtjänsten visar sig ha en inverkan på brukarnas individualitet och självständighet, i motsats till de ursprungliga intentionerna att erbjuda ett frigörande alternativ till vårdinrättningar.I studien används Goffmans begrepp ”totala instit

Glenn Möllergren reflekterar i kapitel 7 över riktlinjer och deras konsekvenser utifrån erfarenheterna från sin verksamhetsförlagda termin på socionomprogrammet. Han använder professionsteorins grunder för att ställa frågan om vart lojaliteten bör riktas i användandet av riktlinjer: Är det mot omsorgsmottagaren eller mot skattebetalarna? Utifrån samma teoretiskautgångspunkter resonerar han kring v

With growing environmental concerns, upcycling has become an important theme in literature and practice. Upcycling can help slow and close resource cycles through product life-extension. Cities offer opportunities for upcycling initiatives and seek to tackle challenges in urban solid waste management by encouraging entrepreneurs to create value from local waste streams in urban resource centres an

Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid derived from various medicinal plants, emerges as a potential therapeutic agent against diverse human diseases. It has particularly shown notable anticancer efficacy against breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, and liver cancer. Berberine results in inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and suppressing angiogenesis, positioning it as a

Invertebrate embryos have relatively low fossilization potential; however, when preserved, they can offer crucial insights into the evolutionary developmental biology of extinct animals. Here we report new exceptionally preserved fossil embryos from the early Fortunian (early Cambrian) of China, which are assigned to two new taxa, Saccus xixiangensis gen. et sp. nov. and Saccus necopinus gen. et s

Få saker skrämmer människor så mycket som att förlora minne och identitet. Detta är dock en realitet för många som lever med demens. I bokens åttonde kapitel undersöker Glenn Möllergren de levnadsbe-rättelser som numera används inom äldreomsorgen för att kunna stödja individer och ge en god personcentrerad omsorg. I sin genom-gång visar Möllergren att det finns en stor variation i utformningen av

Hypothesis: Low-frequency Raman (LFR) spectroscopy is proposed as a novel non-destructive methodology to probe pH-related phase transitions in self-assembled lipid particles. In this case, dispersed lipid mesophases were composed of ionisable oleic acid (OA) or nicergoline (NG) in monoolein (MO). The sensitivity of LFR spectroscopy to low-energy intermolecular vibrations was hypothesised to be due

To solve the problem of fatigue of the UAV operator during long-term search and reconnaissance missions, a research hardware and software complex was created, in which the positioning of the auxiliary UAV video camera with a narrow field of view is carried out. Dynamixel Library for MATLAB and Simulink was used to organize the interaction of actuators with the virtual environment, which allows com

Purpose: Although total dietary protein intake has been associated with bladder cancer (BC) risk, the effect of the origin (plant or animal) and the substitutions remain to be understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of total dietary protein, animal-based protein, plant-based protein, and their substitutions with each other on the risk of BC using a pooled analysis of 10 cohort studi

New antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapeutics are needed because of antibiotic resistance development and resulting complications such as inflammation, ultimately leading to septic shock. The antimicrobial effects of various nanoparticles (NPs) are currently attracting intensive research interest. Although various NPs display potent antimicrobial effects against strains resistant to convent
