Having a child with a disability undoubtedly affects parents in many ways, including their well-being. However, the specific mental health trajectories of parents, differentiated by the severity of impairments and parental roles, remain under-explored. We investigate the mental-health effects of having a child with a disability. Using individual-level register data from Sweden, we exploit the epid

In this chapter, we evaluate how the concept of the entrepreneurial ecosystem - a systemic approach to regional economic development that is receiving increased attention from both policymakers and academics - can assist in analysing and understanding the informal economy. We argue that despite the focus of entrepreneurial ecosystems on high-growth entrepreneurship, the ‘systemic’ perspective of t

J. S. Wilson proved in 1971 an isomorphism between the structural lattice associated to a group belonging to his second class of groups with every proper quotient finite and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of Cantor’s ternary set. In this paper we generalize this isomorphism to the class of branch groups. Moreover, we show that for every faithful branch action of a group G on a spherically h

Being the most common of the upper extremity fractures, the distal radius fracture rightfully earns its attraction. In a global population rapidly growing older, the number of patients with a distal radius fracture will increase. Innovative devices have been developed in the last few decades to restore the anatomy. The well-trained surgeon has all the options to fix the majority of fractures in an

Esophageal lesions are common findings in disorders of the digestive tract in patients living with HIV, the most typical symptoms being odynophagia and/or dysphagia. This article provides a narrative review of the spectrum of esophagitis in patients living with HIV, focusing on fungal, viral, bacterial and non-infectious etiologies, as well as co-infections with viral hepatitis viruses. The articl

Introduction: The healthcare sector is globally experiencing increasing demands and workplace interventions on an organisational level is sought to create healthy workplaces. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of Nordic research on the work environment and health of healthcare professionals, with a focus on identifying organisational-level risk and health-promoting factors. Methods:

In electric passenger vehicles with modest performance the drivetrain usually consists of one inverter, one electrical machine and a single-speed transmission. The inverter is typically a two-level inverter using either Si IGBT transistors with an anti-parallel Si diode, or a SiC MOSFET transistor with or without an anti-parallel diode. The benefits of selecting SiC MOSFET as semiconductor technol
