Insect migration redistributes enormous quantities of biomass, nutrients and species globally. A subset of insect migrants perform extreme long-distance journeys, requiring specialized morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations. The migratory globe skimmer dragonfly (Pantala flavescens) is hypothesized to migrate from India across the Indian Ocean to East Africa in the autumn, with a

The aim of this study is to explore the use and perceived unfilled need for assistive technology (AT) for everyday life in three age-groups during the ageing process. Data on use and perceived unfilled need for AT from three age-groups were used; the very old age-group; 81-90, n=314, the oldest old age-group; 85-94, n=154 and younger agegroup, 67-71. The results show that the proportion of users h

Introduction: Assessing suicide risk in clinical settings is challenging, as conventional self-report scales have limited predictive validity. The Death Implicit Association Test (D-IAT) was developed to explore implicit associations related to death and the self-concept. However, it omits the emotional association with death that may be crucial in suicide risk assessment. This cross-sectional stu

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Västralid nursing home in Olofström. The object consist of three connected housing bodies, first built in the 1970’s. At first, the buildings were used as regular apartments, but they were converted into nursing apartments for elderly people in the 1990’s. In the report, an analysis of fire scenarios are compared to egress scenarios to evaluate the perso

Background Coronary artery disease is the primary etiology for sudden cardiac arrest in adults, but potential differences in the incidence and utility of invasive coronary testing between resuscitated men and women have not been extensively evaluated. Our aim was to characterize angiographic similarities and differences between men and women after cardiac arrest. Methods and Results Data from the

Preconception health status, especially of women, but also of men, is known to influence pregnancy outcomes. Despite knowledge of the growing importance of preconception health, numerous challenges remain for conducting research in this population and delivering appropriate clinical care. The 2023 Global Pregnancy Collaboration annual workshop focused on exploring preconception health as it relate

Humanitarian aid has long been characterized as a top-down, centrally driven enterprise. Recently, this has begun to change through the broad concept of localization, which commonly describes the empowerment of national and local actors. This chapter showcases the range of localization views within humanitarian aid, focusing on terminology, various definitions and three main interpretations. It al

The sheet metal forming process is integral to the automotive industry, producing a variety of components essential for vehicle construction, including body panels, chassis parts, and structural supports. The process involves shaping thin metal sheets into desired forms using techniques such as bending, stretching, drawing, and stamping. In order to build high quality cars it is vital with an effi

The Value of Information from Bayesian decision theory can be used to drive decisions within the development of new technologies aiding research screening, technology characteristics, and employment optimization. The selection of a specific application of technology leads to the definition of the decision scenario within the Value of Information framework. Technological performance characteristics
