Background: The use of life stories in dementia care has been described as a way of seeing every person as an individual, looking beyond their dementia. Life stories have become synonymous with high-quality care, while in Sweden their mere existence in dementia care settings is taken to indicate quality in national comparisons. Such life stories are often standardised, generated by a family member

Based on eleven months of engaged ethnographic research with the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) in Barcelona and Sabadell, this article proposes that the financialization of housing goes hand in glove with the financialization of life itself, which includes subjectivity and the body. The financialization of life occurs when life is subsumed into the mechanisms of rent extraction t

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur unga vuxna uppfattar produktplaceringar i tv-serien Emily in Paris. Strävan är att uppnå en större förståelse för hur konsumentens köpintention påverkas av produktplaceringar, samt produktplaceringens påverkan på konsumenternas attityd och kännedom gentemot varumärken. För att besvara frågeställningar har en kvalitativ studie genomförts med 12 semistruktureradeThe aim of this thesis is to examine how young adults perceive product placements in the tv show Emily in Paris. The ambition is to achieve a greater understanding of how consumer purchase intention is influenced by product placements, as well as the impact of product placements on consumers' attitudes and awareness towards brands. To answer the research questions, a qualitative study has bee

The paper expands the conceptual framework within which we examine mortgage debt by reconceptualising mortgages as a biotechnology: a technology of power over life that forges an intimate relationship between global financial markets, everyday life and human labour. Taking seriously the materiality of mortgage contracts as a means of forging new embodied practices of financialisation, we urge for

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide according to the world health organization. It is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and emphysema, and cigarette smoking is the main cause of COPD development. There are several forms of stress present in the lungs of COPD patients, such as smoking induced endoplasmic reticulum stress or hypoxi

The management of water resources in a basin can be challenging due to the sharing of water resources among multiple stakeholders and conflicting interests. This often results in imbalanced water resource development across the basin. While small and medium-sized projects are efficiently implemented in the headwater and upstream areas, the commissioning of large reservoirs faces delays due to the

Inexpensive and efficient desalination is becoming increasingly important due to dwindling freshwater resources in view of climate change and population increase. Improving desalination techniques of brackish water using graphene-based materials has the possibility to revolutionize freshwater production and treatment. At the same time, graphene matter can be cheaply mass-produced from biowaste mat

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a commonly found recalcitrant and toxic groundwater contaminant that resists degradation, bioaccumulates, and has a potential for long-range environmental transport. Taking proper actions to deal with the pollutant accounting for the life cycle consequences requires a better understanding of its behavior in the subsurface. We recognize the huge potential for enhancing de

Importance: Antiamyloid immunotherapies against Alzheimer disease (AD) are emerging. Scalable, cost-effective tools will be needed to identify amyloid β (Aβ)-positive patients without an advanced stage of tau pathology who are most likely to benefit from these therapies. Blood-based biomarkers might reduce the need to use cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or positron emission tomography (PET) for this. Ob

X-ray multi-projection imaging (XMPI) has the potential to provide rotation-free 3D movies of optically opaque samples. The absence of rotation enables superior imaging speed and preserves fragile sample dynamics by avoiding the centrifugal forces introduced by conventional rotary tomography. Here, we present our XMPI observations at the ID19 beamline (ESRF, France) of 3D dynamics in melted alumin

IntroductionThis study is part of an international collaboration that investigates teachers’ attitudes and responses to vignettes depicting school bullying situations. As per Bandura's model of reciprocal determination, attitudes and behavior in these situations can be influenced by individual and contextual factors. This study specifically examines several factors related to teachers ‘professiona

Considering that the number of wheelchair users is on the rise at the global level due to population aging, it is crucial to secure their rights to have adequate access to healthcare services. Spatial accessibility to healthcare services has been well recognized to influence people's health. However, research on healthcare accessibility of wheelchair users is scarce. This study proposes a barrier-

Concerning the rotation flight of a hypersonic vehicle centered on its geometric axis, the rotational flow and heat transfer characteristics of supercritical n-decane in horizontal circular and rectangular tubes were comprehensively analyzed based on numerical simulation. The computational domain was established and the corresponding governing equations of mass conservation, momentum conservation,
