Contagion models for the transmission of drug abuse among propinquity-of-rearing defined acquaintances : A Swedish national study

Background: Can we validate a contagion model for drug abuse (DA) in Propinquity-of-Rearing Defined Acquaintances (PRDAs)? Methods: PRDAs were defined as pairs of same-age males born 1975–1990 who grew up within 2 km of each other, one of whom (PRDA1) being first registered for DA in national registries. Using adult residential location, we predicted, using regression splines, proximity-dependent

On the methodologies for the assessment of the impact of parameters in acoustophoretic separation devices

In this communication, we reconcile the kinematic method illustrated by some authors (Yang et al. in Microfluid Nanofluid 22:44–56, 2018; Vitali et al. in RSC Adv 8:38955, 2018) in studying the impact of system and suspension parameters on acoustophoretic separations with the statistical method formerly proposed by Garofalo (Microfluid Nanofluid 18(3):367–382, 2014a; ASME 2014 3rd global congress

No survival difference between robotic and open radical hysterectomy for women with early-stage cervical cancer : results from a nationwide population-based cohort study

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after open and robotic radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer. Patients and methods: This was a nationwide population-based cohort study on all women with cervical cancer stage IA1-IB of squamous, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous histological subtypes, from January 2011 to December 2017,

Small-scale poultry enterprises in Kenyan medium-sized cities

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the profitability of urban chicken production in the medium-sized cities of Kisumu and Thika, Kenya. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected in 2016 from a sample of 157 indigenous chicken producers in the two cities. Descriptive analyses were used to characterize indigenous chicken production, marketing and profitability. In addition,

Towards a Facebookization of civil society? : Exploring the institutionalization of positive emotional vocabulary

Emotional vocabulary and symbols on social media abound, not only in private communication, but also in organizations and workplace organizing. In this paper, we argue that emotional labor driven by technical developments is an important but hitherto rather overlooked dark side of digitalization. We thereby take a critical perspective on the techno-utopian literature of social media organizing, by

How the built environment and the railway network can affect the mobility of older people : Analyses of the southern Swedish region of Scania

Global society is rapidly ageing. Research on ageing and mobility suggests that better synergies could exist between older people and the built environment. The age-in-place policy will put increased demands on the transport system as a key facilitator for access. The main goal of this study is to examine the spatial distribution of older adults, assessing if it could be affected by selective char
