Aims Methadone and buprenorphine diversion by patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST) is a poorly understood phenomenon. We study the norms and attitudes on diversion among OST patients, including the role these norms and attitudes play as diversion risk factors. We also study whether perceived quality of care, social bonds to treatment staff, and deterrence can be associated with diversio

Läkemedelsassisterad rehabilitering (LAR) med metadon eller buprenorfin är idag den vanligaste behandlingsmetoden vid opioidberoende. LAR har starkt forskningsstöd, men är trots detta kontroversiell. Detta hänger bland annat samman med att det finns en rad avigsidor och risker knutna till metoden. I artikeln diskuteras de vanligaste invändningarna mot och riskerna med metoden. De områden som berör

Timber buildings present unique fire safety challenges compared to non-combustible constructions. Fire damage in timber structures includes smoke, heat-related impacts and firefighting water. Effective fire mitigation strategies, such as smoke detection systems, automatic suppression systems, and compartmentation, can be crucial for enabling timely interventions and minimizing damages. Post-fire r

This essay addresses the urgent need for transformative action in environmental governance by exploring the role and essential functionality of environmental auditing. While critical scholarship has questioned the overemphasis on reporting in both research and practice, this essay promotes the obligation on critical accountants and auditing researchers to actively debate and develop the concept of

Timber’s sustainability benefits make it an attractive construction material, but public concerns about fire safety remain a challenge. Many associate timber buildings with higher fire risks, particularly in taller structures, despite trusting regulations and professionals to ensure safety. This highlights a gap between public perception and technical knowledge. Designers have a professional respo

Electric buses are increasingly popular in public transport systems globally, and in many European contexts, this transition takes place through public procurement. While previous research argues that electrification challenges existing procurement practices and strategies, the aim of the paper is to contribute new knowledge on the role of public procurement in the transition to electric buses andElectric buses are increasingly popular in public transport systems globally, and in many European contexts, this transition takes place through public procurement.

The aim of this paper is to examine how various types of investors react, and how ownership structures of firms involved in unethical tax practices change once these unethical behaviours are made public. It combines news data with market data to identify investor reactions to tax scandals. Using a staggered diff-in-diff approach, we find that different ownership classes such as hedge funds, banks,

Background: India's agriculture and food sector is the backbone of the nation, sustaining a large portion of the population and contributing to global exports. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) generate the bulk of the world's food despite lacking adequate technological infrastructure and operational standards. This study identifies and evaluates the main blockchain challenges affecting fo

The effect of Cr variation on FCC/BCC phase formation AlCoCrxFeNi (x=0 - 1) is explored in the present work. Cr is known to be a BCC stabilizerand s-phase former. These phases were reported in AlCoCrFeNi HEAobtained through casting route. We adopted mechanical alloying andspark plasma sintering route, since it suppresses certain complexphases. It is observed that the Cr assists in FCC phase in com

Cr is known to be a BCC stabilizer in steels. In case of nanocrystalline AlCoCrFeNi high entropy alloys (HEA) synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS), the systematic increase of Cr content from 0 mole to 1 mole supports and provides for the increase of Fe-Co-Cr rich FCC multicomponent phase. This increase in FCC phase fraction with increasing Cr con

Aims:Research on the role of art in alleviating mental health problems has increased dramatically. However, it remains unclear whether mental health benefits of the arts are the same across different social contexts of arts participation. The aim of the study is to investigate associations between two modes of arts participation, solitary and group-based, and psychological wellbeing (12-item gener

Water markets in China have received ample scholarly attention, but less is known about the political, ideological, and international influences that shaped their evolution. Using institutional analysis and a power-centered approach, we trace three Australian-funded projects (2005–2019) alongside domestic policy shifts to analyze how market ideas were institutionalized. We show how policy entrepre

Large language models can transform individuals’ mental health descriptions into scores that correlate with rating scales approaching theoretical upper limits. However, such analyses have combined word- and text responses with little known about their differences. We develop response formats ranging from closed-ended to open-ended: (a) select words from lists, write (b) descriptive words, (c) phra
