To achieve a good ecological status of water resources, we are exploring new frontiers by envisioning river basin planning through the newly promoted digital twin perspective. In river basin management, a digital twin is an innovative virtual paradigm – a holistic living replica of the river basin achieved by seamless integration of real-time monitoring, historical observations, data analytics, pr

Microplastics are increasingly recognized as a pervasive pollutant in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, raising pressing concerns about their ecological impacts and implications for human health. Traditional detection and quantification methods—including manual microscopy and standalone spectroscopic techniques—offer reliable accuracy but are limited by labor-intensive procedures and low

This chapter examines how the history and legacy of Polish-Swedish activist Ludwika Broel-Plater have been obscured in Swedish public discourse, in which she is recognized mainly as a passive and grateful recipient of Swedish humanitarianism. The first part of the chapter examines silences that have entered narrative constructions in Swedish public discourse about survivors who came to Sweden as r

Inflammation and insulin resistance are associated with increased mortality in the general population. However, it remains unclear how physical activity and proinflammatory/hyperinsulinemic diets influence overall survival in prostate cancer patients. We analyzed 4779 men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Postdiagnosis physical activity and diet were

BACKGROUND: To determine the association between cancer diagnosis and subsequent risk of ASCVD, and to examine the trajectory of the association over time after cancer diagnosis.METHODS: We prospectively followed 108,689 women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (1984-2020), 113,569 women in the NHSII (1991-2019), and 45,328 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) (1986-2016) who were

Background. Flecainide is a first-line rhythm control treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), however long-term treatment outcomes are understudied. Objective. To investigate associations of electro- (ECG) and echocardiographic indices with safety and efficacy outcomes of long-term flecainide treatment for recurrent AF. Methods. Consecutive patients with AF admitted for in-hospital f

In this preliminary study, the influence of a subsequent heat treatment after extrusionExtrusion and swagingSwaging on the microstructureMicrostructure, hardness, and corrosionCorrosion behavior of Mg0.15Ca was investigated. Heat treatment was carried out at 300, 400 and 500 °C for 1 h, and 16 h at 500 °C. Immersion in HBSS and Ringer's solution was done for up to 7 days. With increasing heat trea

Background: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) predict coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death, all of which are also related to sodium intake. We studied estimated sodium intake and PVC frequency in the randomly selected population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study cohort. Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we included 5636 individuals with 24-hour

The fourth edition of this widely used textbook offers a new perspective. Previously titled Business Process Modeling, Simulation and Design, as the new title suggests, this book is about analytical business process modeling and design. However, this new edition introduces analytics to the title and to the presentation. The main objective of this book is to provide students with a comprehensiv

Objectives: To examine the risk of progression and time to progression from penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) to invasive penile cancer in patients treated for PeIN with either surgery, laser ablation or topical treatment, and to examine recurrence risk after treatment of PeIN. Patients and Methods: Data on patients diagnosed with PeIN (n = 1122) between 2000 and 2020 were extracted from the
