The inadequacy of public financing mechanisms for sustainable development andclimate action is increasingly evident. The focus has shifted towards private sector financing mechanisms to bridge these financing gaps. This study analyses the Green, Social, Sustainability and Sustainability-linked (GSSS) bonds, considered as the quintessential private sector financing instruments and projected to lead

This article is an investigation into towns, concepts and perspectives of towns. The concepts of urbanization, urbanism and urbanity all goes back to the Latin word urbs, thereby carrying a bias from Antiquity. Both present and past concepts demonstrate a range of expectations to certain settlements and a confusing use of language. Criteria reflect a choice of perspective and accessible sources. F

Syftet med den här undersökningen var att utveckla en förståelse för hur väl digitala lärresurser fungerar för elever på gymnasiets yrkesprogram. Enligt begreppet ”Digital Natives” skulle eleverna inte uppleva några problem alls, vilket visade sig inte vara fallet. Undersökningen realiserades genom en enkät som genomfördes på två olika gymnasieskolor med fem delvis olika klasser. Enkäten bestod av

Patch testing with fragrance allergens has been performed for over half a century, and the protocol has been continually developed and standardised. Fragrance mixes I and II and Myroxylon pereirae resin are commonly used as screening fragrance allergens in patch testing.During the past few decades, linalool and limonene hydroperoxides have emerged as contact allergens as a result of high rates of

Genetic testing has been applied for decades in clinical routine diagnostics of hematological malignancies to improve disease (sub)classification, prognostication, patient management, and survival. In recent classifications of hematological malignancies, disease subtypes are defined by key recurrent genetic alterations detected by conventional methods (i.e., cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybr

Based on experiences from multi-sited, rapid ethnographic fieldwork about age-friendly communities, the article aims at shedding light and reflecting on the encountered challenges and potentials regarding language and communication. Moreover, the aim is to contribute to enhancing researchers’ awareness of and preparedness to meet and address such challenges in future research endeavors. As English

The inclusive top-quark pair (tt¯) production cross-section σtt¯ is measured in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s = 5.02 TeV, using 257 pb−1 of data collected in 2017 by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The tt¯ cross-section is measured in both the dilepton and single-lepton final states of the tt¯ system and then combined. The combination of the two measurements yields σtt¯=67

Atherosclerosis, the underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, is characterized by chronic inflammation. T cells are present in atherosclerotic plaques and have been implicated in its pathogenesis. This thesis describes studies exploring both the regulation of T cells in atherosclerosis as well as immunomodulatory therapeutics. To study the

OBJECTIVE: Many GH deficient (GHD) patients have impaired glucose tolerance and GH substitution in these patients has caused deleterious effects on glucose tolerance with hyperinsulinaemia. This further impairment of glucose tolerance might be due to an unphysiologically high dose of GH. Whether such a deterioration can be avoided by an optimal GH replacement dose is not known. In most previous st

CPUP is a combined follow-up program and national quality registry for cerebral palsy (CP). Since its inception in southern Sweden in 1994, CPUP has expanded geographically to cover all of Sweden, and similar programs are used in several northern European countries. Over 95% of all children with CP in Sweden, and a growing proportion of adults, are followed according to CPUP. The content of CPUP h

Background: Skill and experience of surgeons are likely to influence the incidence of surgical wound complications (SWC) after open lower limb revascularization. Differences in SWC between surgeons with predominantly endovascular or open vascular surgical profiles could be expected. The aim of this study was to compare SWC rates after elective open vascular surgery between primarily endovascular a

Introduction: Device-aided therapy may improve the quality of life (QoL) for people with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and poorly controlled symptoms with oral therapy. MANAGE-PD is a validated tool classifying patients based on symptom control and advanced treatment eligibility. This study focused on patient/caregiver reported outcomes and healthcare resource utilization among patients groupe
