EU law has developed with close ties to economic growth, and relatedly, various scholars have historically expressed critiques which would today be considered part of the Law and Political Economy approach. What is starkly absent from the relevant critiques is the way in which EU law regulates the migration phenomenon and its relation to the market. Migration law scholarship has been focusing on t

Microplastics (MP) have emerged as significant global pollutants, garnering considerable attention from both the scientific community and the public. The significance of microplastic research lies in its capacity to inform effective pollution control strategies and mitigate associated environmental and health risks. The review illuminated the complexities and challenges inherent in analyzing micro

Heavy metal (HM) pollution remains a pressing global concern, affecting soil regarding food safety, and negatively influencing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We investigated the efficacy of untreated cypress biochar (UCB) and Ca-modified cypress biochar (MCB) in mitigating HM contamination and enhancing growth across native and contaminated soils (40 mg/kg) in carrot pot experiments.

Groundwater is becoming increasingly important as surface water is decreasing and becoming more and more polluted. In particular, rural areas in the arid region of Central Asia face problems with both water quantity and quality. In view of this, we investigated the drinking water quality in the Maysky district in the Pavlodar region, Kazakhstan. The organoleptic properties, together with microbiol

Study region: The NekooAbad Irrigation District in central Iran faces challenges due to inefficient surface water distribution. 82 million m3 of groundwater is extracted annually from 15,000 tube-wells, leading to decreased groundwater levels and increased energy consumption of 234 million kWh per year. Study focus: This study explores implementing automation in surface water distribution to reduc

As video and computer games get increasingly more advanced, the immersive experience for the player of these games also follows this trajectory. In these games, one aspect that has been explored to the greatest extent is that of choice and player agency. Often, these choices and acts are of a moral character, whether it be choosing what to do on an ambiguously formulated questline with multiple br

Det tog många år innan Svenska kyrkan på nationell nivå kunde redovisa statistik om delar av församlingarnas diakonala arbete. Införandet av diakonistatistik har mött motstånd, men flera aktörer samlar också egen statistik vid sidan av den nationella verksamhetsstatistiken.

ObjectiveIndividuals with neurodevelopmental and/or neurocognitive disorders (NNDs) have complex, long-term care needs. In Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, informal carers shoulder the responsibility and strain of providing care for people with NNDs. Intense care demand, societal and cultural care expectations, and lack of support infrastructure often lead to psychosocial strain in this inadequate

The initial interview is a critical moment in the relationship between the patient and the palliative care team. Good communication skills, while always important in clinical medicine, are especially indispensable in this context, where a life-threatening illness and associated fear, anxiety, sadness, and hope can make for a challenging clinician-patient relationship. When done expertly, the initi

Vårt bidrag tar utgångspunkt i hur innovativa avlopps- och vattenhanteringspraktiker samspelar i en urban kontext. Det empiriska materialet har hämtats från ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprojekt om innovativ vattenhantering i en stad i Sverige. Artikeln analyserar på ett övergripande plan samtida idéutveckling vad gäller återvinning av avloppsvatten och hur denna idéutveckling producerar olika f

Background Implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) is a priority to improve service delivery and outcomes. Clinicians’ EBP attitudes are likely to play a crucial role in implementation but are poorly understood. This study aimed to assess variation in EBP attitudes in a large national sample of CAMHS clinicians in Sweden, and to compar

Though augmented reality (AR) is increasingly adopted in marketing, its capacity to foster consumers' engagement and attachment remain tenuous, exposing an important literature-based gap. Addressing this gap, we deploy social presence theory and luxury consumption theory to develop and test a model that proposes that consumers' engagement with AR-deploying luxury brands drives the development of t

The role of natural marine aerosols in the global climate system remains understudied and uncertain. This is true for the emissions of natural volatile compounds over the ocean, the oxidation of said compounds and their impact on particle formation and particle growth. In this thesis, the emission, chemistry and aerosol particle processes relating to these compounds were studied using different pr

Recombination plays a crucial role in evolution by generating novel haplotypes and disrupting linkage between genes, thereby enhancing the efficiency of selection. Here, we analyze the genomes of 12 great reed warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) in a 3-generation pedigree to identify precise crossover positions along the chromosomes. We located more than 200 crossovers and found that these were h

Background Frequent hemodialysis provided more than three times per week may lower mortality and improve health-related quality of life. Yet, the evidence is inconclusive. We evaluated the benefits and harms of frequent hemodialysis in people with kidney failure compared with standard hemodialysis. Methods We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials including adults on hemodia

Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is high in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most patients reveal a high prevalence of CV risk factors such as diabetes or arterial hypertension and many have manifest cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure with an increased risk of clinical events including sudden cardiac death. Diabetes mellitu
