InledningSverige lyfts ofta fram som ett av världens mest jämställda länder, samtidigt som forskning visar att det finns betydande skillnader mellan mäns och kvinnors livsvillkor. Sedan mitten av 1990-talet har jämställdhetsintegrering varit den rådande strategin inom svenska myndigheter och svensk förvaltning för att öka jämställdheten i samhället. Förenklat innebär detta att ett jämställdhetsper

Background: Intra-individual variability (IIV), a measure of variance within an individual's performance, has been demonstrated as metrics of brain responses for neural functionality. However, how mental fatigue modulates IIV remains unclear. Consequently, the development of robust mental fatigue detection methods at the single-trial level is challenging. New methods: Based on a long-duration flan

This paper presents a novel methodological approach, multi-dimensional measure of resource stratifcation in civil society (MMRSC). The method aims at mapping civil society organisations based on diferent types of resources for studying resource stratifcation in civil society. The approach is based on six indicators consisting of economic, political, and media resources, internal and external to ci

Background: The complex management of health needs in multimorbid patients, alongside limited cost data, presents challenges in developing cost-effective patient-care pathways. We estimated the costs of managing 171 dyads and 969 triads in Belgium, taking into account the influence of morbidity interactions on costs. Methods: We followed a retrospective longitudinal study design, using the linked

Aromatic polyamide films form the active layer in reverse osmosis desalination membranes. Despite widespread use of this technology, it suffers from low rejection rates for certain water contaminants and from membrane fouling. Through a better understanding of the fundamental surface chemical processes during reverse osmosis desalination, advances in membrane and material design are expected. The

Reverse osmosis using aromatic polyamide membranes is currently the most important technology for seawater desalination. The performance of reverse osmosis membranes is highly dependent on the interplay of their surface chemical groups with water and water contaminants. In order to better understand the underlying mechanisms of these membranes, we study ultrathin polyamide films that chemically re

Prophylactic endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) aims to avoid aneurysm rupture. However, only patients with sufficient long-term survival get benefit from this avoidance. Therefore, accurate patient selection is crucial.The aim of the project is to evaluate new methods of assessing and minimizing the risks and thereby improve the selection of patient with the mo

Similar to systematic reviews (SRs) in clinical fields, preclinical SRs address a specific research area, furnishing information on current knowledge, possible gaps, and potential methodological flaws of study design, conduct, and report. One of the main goals of preclinical SRs is to identify aspiring treatment strategies and evaluate if currently available data is solid enough to translate to cl

Covid-19 has become pandemic, spreading all over the world. Scientists and engineers are working day and night to develop a vaccine, to evolve more testing facilities, and to enhance monitoring systems. Mobile and web-based applications, based on questionnaires, have already been developed to monitor the health of individuals. Internet of Things (IoT) can be used to avoid the spreading of Covid-19

Hydropower is one of the renewable energy sources having the highest conversion efficiency than other renewable energy sources. The hydro turbine is considered as the main component of a hydropower plant and operation and maintenance of various components are the critical issues for optimal energy generation. Under the present paper, a comprehensive literature review on the operation and maintenan

The present research work investigates the barriers of weak IoT adoption in agrifood transportation, with special reference to India. It is built on a premise that few barriers upshots from the other more impactful ones. Thus, it is important to identify their linkages and classify them based on their strength of relationship. The data collected from 13 agricultural technology (AgriTech) firms of

This chapter looks at the way collective practices of comics creation and publicationcan form feminist attachments, with a focus on the comics anthologyDrawing the Line, Indian Women Fight Back! (Kuriyan, Bertonasco, Bartscht, &Burton 2015). Drawing the Line consists of fourteen short comics drawn by agroup of professional and amateur Indian women who reflect upon their experiencesof gendered

I den här rapporten pratade Nahal Tabesh med Safdar Ahmad, designern och författaren till serietidningar, om flyktingarnas serier och deras visuella berättelser om flyktingupplevelsen.Abstract in Persianدر این گزارش نهال تابش با صفدر احمد، طراح و مؤلف کتاب‌های کمیک درباره‌ی کمیک‌های پناهندگان و روایت‌های تصویری آنان از تجربه‌ی پناهجوئی گفت‌وگو کرده است.

When lab resources are shared among multiple research projects, issues such as experimental integrity, replicability, and data safety become important. Different research projects often need different software and settings that may well conflict with one another, and data collected for one project may not be safeguarded from exposure to researchers from other projects. In this paper we provide an

Fertility requires the faithful proliferation of germ cells and their differentiation into gametes. Controlling these cellular states demands precise timing and expression of gene networks. Nucleic acid binding proteins (NBPs) play critical roles in gene expression networks that influence germ cell development. There has, however, been no functional analysis of the entire NBP repertoire in control

Achievement of sustainability goals is an epic task for developing economies that still strive to fulfil their basic needs. The availability of limited resources in the developing world vis-à-vis the ever-increasing demand poses further challenges to developing economies willing to transition into circular economies. Reverse logistics (RL) can facilitate this transition towards a circular economy

BACKGROUND: Compared to ischemic stroke, sex differences in patient outcomes following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are underreported. We aimed to determine sex differences in mortality and functional outcomes in a large, unselected Swedish cohort.METHODS: In this observational study, data on 22,789 patients with spontaneous ICH registered in the Swedish Stroke Register between 2012 and 2019 wer

AIM: To describe sociodemographic disparities in temporal trends of incidence and age distributions of first registered osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis in southern Sweden.METHODS: We identified all Skåne residents aged 35+ who had lived in the region at any point during the period 2006-2019 with no previous OA diagnosis (ICD-10 codes M15-M19) for 8 years prior to inclusion in the study (n = 849,061)
