Under global warming, flooding has become one of the most destructive natural disasters along the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which significantly jeopardizes the construction and ongoing stability of the CPEC. The assessment of regional flood potential is, therefore, crucial for effective flood prevention and relief measures. In light of this, our study applied MIKE 11 hydrodynamic mo

The evolution of gonochorism from hermaphroditism is linked with the formation of sex chromosomes, as well as the evolution of sex-biased and sex-specific gene expression to allow both sexes to reach their fitness optimum. There is evidence that sexual selection drives the evolution of male-biased gene expression in particular. However, previous research in this area in animals comes from either t

Purpose: Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies that potentially may be associated with other cerebral neurodegenerative processes leading to dementia. However, prior studies have been inconsistent. We examined dementia risks after glaucoma diagnosis in a large population-based cohort. Design: National matched cohort study. Participants: A total of 324 730 persons diagnosed with g

The study of heterogeneous catalysis has important implications in increasing the efficiency of industrial processes and in reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases from sources such as automobiles. A reaction with high industrial relevance is the oxidation of CO on noble metal catalysts. In this work I apply Fourier Transformations to Ambient Pressure X-ray and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectr

Denna rapport Tillfälliga lösningar i urbana miljöer för långsiktig destinationsutveckling -Om att förstå nyttan med mikroparker för stadens gröna infrastruktur ingår i det av FORMAS finansierade forskningsprojektet ”Urban turismutveckling i förnyelse: Hantera hållbarhet i tilltagande turismflöden”. I rapporten diskuteras hur tillfälliga lösningar i gaturummet kan ha stor betydelse för en långsikt

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data on the incidence of central venous catheter tip misplacements after the implementation of ultrasound guidance during insertion. The aims of the present study were to determine the incidence of tip misplacements and to identify independent variables associated with tip misplacement.METHODS: All jugular and subclavian central venous catheter insertions in patie

Programmable optical circuits are an important tool in developing quantum technologies such as transceivers for quantum communication and integrated photonic chips for quantum information processing. Maintaining precise control over every individual component becomes challenging at large scales, leading to a reduction in the quality of operations performed. In parallel, minor imperfections in circ

Populism is an ambiguous concept in contemporary politics as it is multifaceted in its nature and expression. However, the fundamental characteristic of a populist actor is their adherence to the will of the people and their opposition to an adverse elite. In Swedish political discourse, the socialist Left Party and nationalist Sweden Democrats have been described as populist. By using an ideation

Urban greening is critical for human health and climate adaptation and mitigation goals, but its financing tends to prioritize economic growth imperatives. This often results in elite value and rent capture and unjust greening outcomes. We argue that cities can, however, take action to ensure more socially just impacts of green financing.

Although cities globally are increasingly mobilizing re-naturing projects to address diverse urban socio-environmental and health challenges, there is mounting evidence that these interventions may also be linked to the phenomenon known as green gentrification. However, to date the empirical evidence on the relationship between greenspaces and gentrification regarding associations with different g

Increasingly, greening in cities across the Global North is enmeshed in strategies for attracting capital investment, raising the question: for whom is the future green city? Through exploring the relationship between cities’ green boosterist rhetoric, affordability and social equity considerations within greening programmes, this paper examines the extent to which, and why, the degree of green br

This paper aims to redress the under-appreciated significance of rent for political ecological analysis. We introduce the notion of value grabbing, defined as the appropriation of (surplus) value through rent. A concept that is analytically distinct from accumulation, rent is both a social relation and a distributional process that is increasingly central to the reproduction of contemporary capita

Supported by a large body of scholarship, it is increasingly orthodox practice for cities to deploy urban greening interventions to address diverse socioenvironmental challenges, from protecting urban ecosystems to enhancing built environments and climate resilience or improving health outcomes. In this article, we expand the theoretical boundaries used to challenge this growing orthodoxy by layin

Recent suggestions propose that the glacial landscape of southern Sweden is a relict landscape from the Saalian glaciation (>130 ka) (Lagerbäck, 2018). The primary argument supporting this viewpoint is the claimed observation that the majority of glaciofluvial deposits in this region exhibits a covering till bed, often accompanied by wind-abraded clasts (ventifacts) at the contact between glaciofl

Resultaten indikerar att unga idrottares psykosociala hälsa påverkas negativt av muskuloskeletal skada. Det saknas omfattande forskning inom detta område och flera studier visar olika eller motstridiga resultat. Fler studier behövs för att skapa en bättre förståelse av hur muskuloskeletala skador påverkar den yngre populationen.

Denna studie har identifierat ett antal styrkor som de intervjuade fysioterapeuter upplever vid användandet av PIPT som behandlingsmetod. Den mest framträdande styrkan för behandlingsmetoden var det gemensamma språket i det tvärprofessionella samarbetet. Studien identifierade även upplevda utmaningar i samband med behandlingsmetoden som framträder bland annat genom att hitta en balans mellan det f
