Functioning is a construct capturing how an individual’s engagement in everyday life emerges from the interaction between the individual and their environment. The World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a biopsychosocial framework of functioning. Previously, the ICF was adapted for use in autism by developing Core Sets, a selec

Background: Selective water uptake by neurons and glial cells and subsequent brain tissue oedema are key pathophysiological processes of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after cardiac arrest (CA). Although brain computed tomography (CT) is widely used to assess the severity of HIE, changes of brain radiodensity over time have not been investigated. These could be used to quantify regional bra

Audio description (AD) plays a crucial role in making audiovisual media accessible to people with a visual impairment, enhancing their experience and understanding. This study employs an event segmentation task to examine how people without sight perceive and segment narrative events in films with AD, compared to sighted viewers without AD. Two AD versions were utilized, differing in the explicitn

I denne bog forsøger forfatteren at afmontere de benspænd (krokben), som den svensktalende typisk oplever i mødet med dansktalende. Det drejer sig først og fremmest om den største sten i sprogforståelsen, nemlig den danske udtale, og den lidt mindre sten, det lumske ordforråd. Mange ord deler vi allerede, men der er også ord og vendinger, der komplicerer kommunikationen danskere og svenskere imell

PURPOSE: The Obesity and Disease Development Sweden (ODDS) study was designed to create a large cohort to study body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and changes in weight and WC, in relation to morbidity and mortality.PARTICIPANTS: ODDS includes 4 295 859 individuals, 2 165 048 men and 2 130 811 women, in Swedish cohorts and national registers with information on weight assessed once (2

PURPOSE: We investigated time trends of the obesity-mortality association, accounting for age, sex, and cause-specific deaths.METHODS: We analysed pooled nationwide data in Sweden for 3,472,310 individuals aged 17-39 years at baseline in 1963-2016. Cox regression and flexible parametric survival models investigated BMI-mortality associations in sub-groups of sex and baseline calendar years (men:

The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh

As a response to a changing climate and a growing population that increases the current unsustainable, industrialisation of agriculture, sustainable agricultural practices have gained interest globally. Regenerative agriculture was first mentioned in the 1980s but didn’t gain interest until recently. The research around regenerative agriculture is limited, especially concerning the recent growing

Introduction: This article explores how sexuality is conceptualised and managed in a Spanish residential care unit for recently injured people. The institution operates under the banner of independent living, a key belief of the international disabled people’s movement, which champions self-determination, autonomy, and control over their support. Methods: A focused ethnography was conducted betwee

This thesis explores how the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) frames the humanitarian crisis and response in Northeastern Nigeria in the timeframe 2013-2015 within its key documents. Thereby, it seeks to understand how OCHA navigates the paradox of its apolitical mandate while being embedded in political dynamics. Drawing on Louis and Maertens's (2021) theory of depol
