Integrated pest management (IPM) is an important tool for sustainable crop production. IPM includes a diversity of methods, e.g., the use of biological control agents (BCAs) for disease control or growth promotion. While there is an increasing interest in the use of BCAs, less is known about their environmental costs and benefits on wild species, such as wild crop relatives. For example, a BCA may

Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are associated with loss of function in all ages and excess mortality. The societal costs are high. Treatment needs to be tailored based on fracture type, functional demand, and physiological age of the patient. Internal fixation is often preferred for undisplaced FNFs and for displaced FNFs in young patients. Anatomical reduction is essential, but slight valgus is ac

When developing a research roadmap for human behaviour in fires, it is necessary to identify areas that require additional research. A general overview – from a multidisciplinary perspective – of gaps in human behaviour in fires research across multiple contexts is missing. The goal of this paper was to perform a scoping review to identify research gaps and themes in all aspects of human behaviour

Background: Perioperative stress or discomfort in shoulder arthroplasty (SA) patients can be reduced using more individually tailored patient education and expectation management. Most published studies assess pain and function for the first time at 6 weeks or 3 months. Consequently, there is no thorough understanding of day-to-day recovery trajectories within the first postoperative weeks, hinder

Objectives: Breast-fed (BF) have lower risk of infections during infancy compared to those formula-fed (FF). A higher content of alpha-lactalbumin (α-lac) in breast milk, which may promote a more favorable gut microbiota, could be one reason. In this study, we evaluated whether increased concentration of α-lac in low-protein infant formula affects the immune response and the incidence of infection

This study investigates how the seven core resilience principles are integrated into assessments of forest system resilience to natural or human-induced disturbances across engineering, ecological, and social-ecological resilience concepts. Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search in the Web of Science database using the keywords “resilience”, “forest” and “ecosystem services” yielded 1828

Continuous-flow fixed-bed reactors effectively bridge laboratory research and industrial production. As the key component, the catalyst module must demonstrate high catalytic activity and rapid reactant distribution to maximize the catalytic turnover. Herein, a facile strategy is proposed to fabricate a microfibrous catalyst by decorating Cu single atoms (Cu1) on composite microfiber (CMF) made fr

In recent decades the average paternal age at childbirth has risen sharply. Many researchers from various disciplines are alarmed, as the offspring of older fathers have a higher risk of many diseases; however, previous studies lack a historical perspective. A new analysis shows that in many countries the current levels of average paternal age at childbirth were just as high in the past as today.

Introduction: Occupational balance is an important concept in occupational therapy. However, no validated Occupational balance assessments currently exist in Lithuania. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian version of the Occupational Balance Questionnaire 11 (OBQ11-LT). Method: A total of 127 healthy adults completed the OBQ11-LT to evaluate construct validity.

BACKGROUND: As the global population ages, the demand for palliative care is expected to increase. However, studies show that older patients often receive inadequate palliative care, partly due to healthcare professionals lacking sufficient training and tools to identify and address palliative care needs effectively. This study aims to explore healthcare professionals' experiences regarding facili

This study investigates the impacts of a range of interventions aimed at reducing in emissions in three high-impact sectors in cities: built environment, mobility, and sustainable energy systems. It does so by focusing on four cities around the world that are pioneering circular economy solutions (Bogotá, Glasgow, Genoa and Milan), and uses a GTAP-modelling approach developed by C40, Arup and the

Background and study aims Surgical resection is standard treatment of T2 rectal cancer due to risk of concomitant lymph node metastases (LNM). Local resection could potentially be an alternative to surgical treatment in a subgroup of patients with low risk of LNM. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and histopathological risk factors of LNM in T2 rectal cancer. Patients and methods This

INTRODUCTION: The gold standard for monitoring long-term glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus is glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). In conditions where the erythrocyte half-life is decreased, for example, in long-term kidney diseases and hemoglobinopathies, HbA1C may underestimate the long-term glucose exposure. Therefore, in these patient groups, other methods to monitor long-term glucose

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system. Fatigue and impaired information processing speed (IPS) are the most debilitating symptoms of MS. Natalizumab (NTZ) and rituximab (RTX), currently Sweden’s two most-prescribed drugs for MS treatment, are known to almost completely ameliorate clinical and radiological relapse activity

Purpose: This paper investigates the impact of crowdsourced employee content, specifically from platforms like Glassdoor, on employer branding. It further suggests strategies for organisations to utilise this data to close the gap between their internal identity and external reputation. Building upon Urde & Greyser’s (2016) Corporate Brand Identity and Reputation Matrix (CBIRM), the study seek

Purpose To explore and compare how established global brands (i.e., Nike, Patagonia, LEVI’S®) implement cultural branding strategies to build identity myths, address cultural contradictions, and maintain their corporate brand identity. The study examined both how brands strategically use culture and how consumers perceive these performances. Methodology A qualitative, abductive, multiple-case com

Purpose: To study how LinkedIn can be used as a strategic brand-building tool across two dimensions: 1) for individual professionals and 2) for organizations. The study explores the relationship between brand identity and audience engagement, and how it can be leveraged in digital branding. Methodology: A qualitative case study across the two dimensions. We use secondary data and abductive reason

Purpose - Explore how pioneer brands use their year of establishment (YoE) as part of their heritage communication, and the level to which they do so. Design and Methodology - Analyze 12 cases of pioneer brands to understand the circumstances of when they use their heritage and the patterns that emerge. Findings - Our cross-case analysis and use of secondary data support our hypothesis, such that
