Environmental innovations and green skills in the Nordic countries

In this chapter, we argue that policy-making aiming to achieve environmentally sustainable transitions of the economy is in need of a solid empirical evidence base. Conventional measurement concepts used for example by the EU based on sector-classifications deliver highly biased pictures. We propose measurement concepts based on the use of green skills and human capital, validate key assumptions o

Visualising the post-2000s Inland Tibet Class generation : Female authorship and renegotiation of ethnicity

This study investigates the first films made by a female director, Kangdrun (T: Gangs sgron, གངས་ྒྲསྒྲོན་, Gangzhen, 岗珍, b. 1995) belonging to the Post-2000s Inland Tibet Class (ITC) generation. Following the experience of the Sinophone-Tibetan filmmaker Kangdrun in a Chinese language education environment, her films, and Tibetan cultural communities, this study discusses Kangdrun’s visual strateg

School Density and Inequality in Student Achievement

In the us, test score gaps by socioeconomic status and race increase with city size. This paper examines to what extent residential sorting on school quality can explain this fact. We combine 15 years of data on public elementary school studentsin North Carolina with geocoded school locations and proxy city size with a measure of school density in a local labor market. Assortative matching between

The coexistence of diabetes, hypertension and obesity is associated with worse pain outcomes following exercise for osteoarthritis : A cohort study on 80,893 patients

OBJECTIVES: To investigate how the co-occurrence of diabetes, hypertension and overweight/obesity is associated with pain following an exercise intervention for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: Register-based cohort study. We included people from the Swedish Osteoarthritis Register who underwent education and exercise for knee or hip OA. Diabetes and hypertension were defined using medica

The Degree Project: An Evaluation from Within

This chapter builds on a quality assessment of my teaching during the preparation seminars for the ‘degree project’ at the Malmö Academy of Music (hereafter: MAM). The evaluation is extended to review the way the course functioned on the basis of John Biggs’ (2003) theories on ‘constructive alignment’. As a result, this chapter also problematises the design of such coursework at a broader structur

Feasibility and constraints of Bragg peak FLASH proton therapy treatment planning

Introduction: FLASH proton therapy (FLASH-PT) requires ultra-high dose rate (≥ 40 Gy/s) protons to be delivered in a short timescale whilst conforming to a patient-specific target. This study investigates the feasibility and constraints of Bragg peak FLASH-PT treatment planning, and compares the in silico results produced to plans for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT). Materials and method

Incommensurability and healthcare priority setting

This paper argues that accepting incommensurability can be a useful step for developing attractive hybrid theories to how to distribute scarce health-related resources. If one provides opportunity for distributive options to be incommensurable with respect to substantive criteria, one can hold on to substantive criteria while also providing room for decision processes to play a significant role. T

Investigating the impact of tropical deforestation on Indian monsoon hydro-climate: a novel study using a regional climate model

This study uses a state-of-the-art regional climate model (RCM) to examine how tropical deforestation affects the meteorology of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). Incorporating insights from existing research on deforestation by climate scientists, alongside evidence of environmental deterioration in semi-arid, hilly and tropical regions of Southeast Asia, this research seeks to elucidate the criti

Changes in pain and disability in patients with shoulder pain after three months of digitally delivered exercise and patient education

OBJECTIVE: To describe and examine potential predictors of changes in pain and disability in patients with shoulder pain who have completed 3 months of digitally delivered treatment comprising exercise and patient education.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (clinicaltrials.org Nr: NCT05402514).SUBJECTS: Patients with shoulder pain who completed treatment (n = 682).METHODS: Primary outcome was cha

Electrocardiographic manifestations in female team handball players : analyzing ECG changes in athletes

Introduction: Long-term intense training leads to structural, functional, and electrical remodeling of the heart. How different sports affect the heart has not been fully investigated, particularly for female athletes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphology of 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG) in elite female handball players compared to non-athlete female subjects. P

A review : Pancreatic enzymes in the treatment of chronic pancreatic insufficiency in companion animals

The purpose of this review was to analyze the scientific literature on exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in dogs and cats and our own research on porcine model to compare animal- and microbial-derived enzymes in the treatment of animals with this disease. Clinical signs of EPI occur when more than 85% of the pancreatic parenchyma is non-functional. EPI can be a consequence of various disease

Exploration of ultrafast dynamic processes in photocatalysis : Advances and challenges

Photocatalysis plays a crucial role in harnessing renewable energy by efficiently converting solar energy into chemical energy. Adequate cognition of photogenerated charge carrier dynamics in photocatalysis is the key to realizing efficient solar energy utilization, and provides guidance for breaking through the efficiency bottleneck. However, a convincing correlation between those photophysical p

(S)VINN : förbättrad avfallshantering genom design: mittlyftet

Rapport som presenterar samverkansprojektet (S)VINN där vi tillsammans med Örnsköldsviks kommun (bostadsföretaget Övikshem och återvinningsföretaget MIVA) utvecklade en fullskaleprototyp av ett miljörum i ett av kommunens hyreshusområden. Workshops tillsammans med hyresgäster och aktörer som hanterar avfall i sin profession.

Brain integrity is altered by hepatic APOE ε4 in humanized-liver mice

Liver-generated plasma apolipoprotein E (apoE) does not enter the brain but nonetheless correlates with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and AD biomarker levels. Carriers of APOEε4, the strongest genetic AD risk factor, exhibit lower plasma apoE and altered brain integrity already at mid-life versus non-APOEε4 carriers. Whether altered plasma liver-derived apoE or specifically an APOEε4 liver phenoty
