Background. Poor maternal self-rated health in healthy women is associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, but knowledge about self-rated health in pregnant women with congenital heart disease (CHD) is sparse. This study, therefore, investigated self-rated health before, during, and after pregnancy in women with CHD and factors associated with poor self-rated health. Methods. The Swedish national
This chapter explores collaboration between Sweden’s Art and Music Schools (SAMS) and compulsory schools from the perspectives of leaders in SAMS, highlighting their policy practices. Furthermore, it offers insights into the ways music education leaders can and do engage in policy practice adaptation and how policy practice draws from contextual needs and strengths while at the same time respondin
Aims: This study examined whether women in Sweden who had been in an intimate partner violence (IPV) relationship reached post-traumatic growth (PTG) and if the level of PTG differed for women who had received formal help compared with women who had not received formal help. The study also examined whether there was a difference in the level of PTG depending on which type of formal help the women
För- och nackdelar med anonymisering av examinationer har diskuterats i decennier. Det är inte svårt att förstå varför ämnet har varit brännande och att det varit så under lång tid. Frågan har i hög grad varit studentdriven, både i Sverige och internationellt, och har sin grund i oro för bias vid bedömning och betygsättning. I Sverige infördes anonymisering av examinationer vid många lärosäten förAdvantages and disadvantages of anonymisation of assessment procedures have been discussed for decades. It is not difficult to understand why the issue has been on the agenda for such a long time. To a large extent, both in Sweden and internationally, it is the students who request anonymisation in examination procedures, and their demands stem from a concern about bias in assessment and grading.
The spatio-temporal scale of design for sustainability has come full circle. What started within a technology-oriented global outlook, later evolving into a people-oriented and local view on change, now urges for a holistic, broad extent and multilevel design for sustainability. This paper enquires into the theories of social change that govern different approaches within the field, and positions
Rubella virus encodes a nonstructural polyprotein with RNA polymerase, methyltransferase, and papain-like cysteine protease activities, along with a putative macrodomain of unknown function. Macrodomains bind ADP-ribose adducts, a post-translational modification that plays a key role in host-virus conflicts. Some macrodomains can also remove the mono-ADP-ribose adduct or degrade poly-ADP-ribose ch
This anthology explores the memory work performed by Baltic and Central and East European far-right actors in the online space. Situated at the crossroads between memory studies, far-right studies, and media studies, the volume’s seven chapters show how a wide range of far-right actors, from small movements to major parties, have exploited digital communication technologies in order to establish t
This paper argues that praise is governed by a norm of standing, namely the evaluative commitment condition. Even when the target of praise is praiseworthy and known to be so by the praiser, praise can be inappropriate owing to the praiser's lacking the relevant evaluative commitment. I propose that uncommitted praisers lack the standing to praise in that, owing to their lack of commitment to the
A multi‐material topology optimization scheme is presented. The formulation includes an arbitrary number of phases with different mechanical properties. To ensure that the sum of the volume fractions is unity and in order to avoid negative phase fractions, an obstacle potential function, which introduces infinity penalty for negative densities, is utilized. The problem is formulated for nonlinear
Phantoms simultaneously mimicking anatomical and optical properties of real tissues can play a pivotal role for improving dosimetry algorithms. The aim of the paper is to design and develop a hybrid phantom model that builds up on the strengths of solid and liquid phantoms for mimicking various anatomical structures for prostate cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT) dosimetry validation. The model com
A selective [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of thiazolo-2-pyridones with arynes has been demonstrated. The developed protocol allows rapid access to highly functionalized, structurally complex thiazolo-fused bridged isoquinolones in high yields, which are susceptible to further late-stage functionalization.
