It is a well-recognized fact that a city will continue to grow whether or not it is desirable. Growth is not something that can be stopped, only contained and influenced. In that way, there is a need for new concepts and approaches to urban space planning and this could be in the form of vertical cities. The tall building is indeed a vertical progression of a horizontal city and should be consid

Why is theorizing important? What does it do? This note reflects on the broad question of what we do when we theorize, taking its starting point from the Greek notion of theoria. The argument is that theorizing as an uncertain journey, i.e. as a form of travelling along a path towards the unknown or unfamiliar, has unjustly fallen into disrepute. The notion of ‘theory’ is today primarily associate

Background: Long-term consequences of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury such as persistent posterior tibial translation and risk of osteoarthritis development are unclear. Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.

The extent to which increased liver fat content influences differences in circulating metabolites and/or lipids between low-birth-weight (LBW) individuals, at increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and normal-birth-weight (NBW) controls is unknown. The objective of the study was to perform untargeted serum metabolomics and lipidomics analyses in 26 healthy, non-obese early-middle-aged LBW men, i

Analysis of structures subjected to moving loads is presented. In particular, structural effects due to structure-vehicle interaction are studied. The basic equations of the structure-vehicle system are derived by means of continuum mechanics, the finite element method and multibody dynamics.In order to consider the interaction between structure and vehicle in a straightforward way, a special stru

Aerococcus sanguinicola is a bacterium that can cause urinary tract infections and on rare occasions infective endocarditis (IE). The prognosis of IE caused by aerococci is generally favourable despite that the patients are typically old and have multiple comorbidities. Here we report a case of A. sanguinicola native valve aortic IE in a 68-year-old man with an underlying urinary tract condition.

Tourism is a vital sector of the global economy, accounting for more than 10 percent of all employment and bringing benefits to numerous individuals and regions. Understanding how the sector can be managed in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner in tourist destinations around the globe is therefore essential. It is known, however, that different destinations have differ

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) translate brain activity into digital commands for interaction with the physical world. The technology has great potential in several applied areas, ranging from medical applications to entertainment industry, and creates new conditions for basic research in cognitive neuroscience. The BCIs of today, however, offer only crude online classification of the user's cur

BACKGROUND: Pregnancies occurring after bariatric surgery are associated with various perinatal complications. However, there may be differences in the type of perinatal complications occurring after different methods of bariatric surgery. The aim of the current study was to compare adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) vs. Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG).M

While most greenhouse gases are not toxic and no pollutants, their increasing concentration in the atmosphere is enhancing the greenhouse effect and causing climate change. Climate change however is a massive threat to all global life-sustaining systems, and it will among other highly damaging consequences probably also create significant health problems. This chapter first explains the natural sc

Det moderna samhället karaktäriseras av globalisering, extern och intern konkurrens samt ny informationsteknik, vilket har förändrat villkoren för individen på arbetsmarknaden. Denna studie undersöker upplevelsen av organisationskultur och arbetsprestation på ett företag inom rekrytering och bemanningsbranschen i södra Sverige. Utifrån deltagande observation och semistrukturerade intervjuer med ti

OBJECTIVE: Developing and validating a risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults (≥65 years) at increased risk of possibly medication-related readmission to hospital within 30 days of discharge.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: The risk score was developed using data from a hospital in southern Sweden and validated using data from four hospitals in the mid-eastern part of Swed

AbstractObjectiveA locally disturbed commensal microbiome might be an etiological factor in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in general and in CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) in particular. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been suggested to restore commensal microbiomes. A honeybee LAB microbiome consisting of various lactobacilli and bifidobacteria have been found potent against CRS pathogens in vitObjectiveA locally disturbed commensal microbiome might be an etiological factor in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in general and in CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) in particular.

There are almost 6 000 acutely homeless in Sweden, according to the most recent estimation. The acutely homeless do not have any type of accommodation and so they have to rely on shelters for a half-decent place to sleep, but shelters are not always available and some people do not want to stay in shelters. When sleeping on the streets you are exposed to the public, but also to rain, wind, s

How does violent conflict affect the spread of Covid-19? In this paper we analyze how violent conflict influences the adoption of preventative measures and infection rate in a very poor, conflict-affected country, Burkina Faso. We use a unique panel of 1,919 households surveyed during the first six months of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and merge these data with indicators of violence at the muniHow does violent conflict affect the spread of Covid-19?

In the small Danish nature park of Jægersborg Dyrehave, there live over two thousand deer. During their lives, they become encounters for visitors, managers of nature, targets to be culled, meat to be eaten, and more. In this thesis, I explore what it means to be deer in Dyrehaven. By applying a posthumanist iteration of performativity, I argue that we need to consider ‘deering’ as a verb, an intr

The dynamic interaction between a non-viscid, compressible fluid and an elastic structure is studied. Finite element formulations, using the weighted residual method, are derived. Different primary variables in the fluid domain are used and different source functions are considered.When a potential field is used, the dynamic interaction between fluid and structure yields nonsymmetric matrices.
