The Internet is a large used technology and seniors, like everyone else, want to take part in the experience of navigate the Web. Many guidelines about how to develop usable web pages exist, but not many of them are focused on seniors. This paper aims to issue guidelines for developing web pages intended to be used by seniors, based upon the results of the observations of seniors and younger adult
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and there are currently limited treatment options for these patients. The disease is characterized by a reduction in airflow due to chronic bronchitis, as well as airspace enlargement in the distal lung, resulting in a loss of surface area available for gas exchange. At end-stage disease, oxygen therapy an
This study focuses on the assessment and selection of applicants for doctoral positions. The empirical data was gathered through a survey among faculty staff at Lund University, Sweden. The findings are also contrasted against the literature within the subject area, which is surprisingly scarce. One interesting finding of the survey is the frequent use of interviews and infrequent use of other ass
Background: Due to the demographic challenge in most countries it is important to consider making work life sustainable. A sustainable work life is of importance in all age groups when working life will be extended to a higher age. Aim: Towards a theoretical model with an impact on a sustainable working life for all ages, the swAge - model. Method: The theoretical model, the swAge-model, is develo
SUMMARY: Antibody repertoires reveal insights into the biology of the adaptive immune system and empower diagnostics and therapeutics. There are currently multiple tools available for the annotation of antibody sequences. All downstream analyses such as choosing lead drug candidates depend on the correct annotation of these sequences; however, a thorough comparison of the performance of these tool

Striving to meet the challenges facing our society today, there is a growth in the number of cross‐sector collaboration. Expectations on these organizations are high in terms of their ability to deliver innovative solutions to wicked issues, but the task is challenging. This study contributes to our understanding of Triple Helix constellations and their ability to take on challenges related to com
In high-energy physics, Monte Carlo event generators (MCEGs) are used to simulate the interactions of high energy particles. MCEG event records store the information on the simulated particles and their relationships, and thus reflect the simulated evolution of physics phenomena in each collision event. We present the HepMC3 library, a next-generation framework for MCEG event record encoding and m
Gaza has several water problems; inefficient water use by the agricultural sector, limited fresh water supply and high water demand, groundwater contamination, seawater intrusion and shortage of electricity. More water and electricity for the future development of Gaza that will give better life; a significant value of water should be added to the Palestinians living in blocked Gaza; more employme
Alzheimer’s disease can be treated by targeting amyloid-β plaques and diagnosed in vivo by biomarkers, prompting the revision of criteria for the diagnosis and staging of this disease.
Background: Compared to negative experiences and ill health, little attention has been paidto positive experiences connected to being transgender and gender diverse (TGD).Aim: The aim of the current study was to explore TGD people’s positive experiences in depth.Methods: In total, 33 TGD people were interviewed. Transcripts were analyzed using reflexivethematic analysis.Results: Results show that
Microorganisms have unique biochemical mechanisms to inhibit the growth or kill other microorganisms in the same environment. Bacterial threat agents (BTA) are more effective than conventional weapons because of these characteristics, therefore, the development and production of biological weapons are still relevant. Early warning signals need to be obtained for fast and accurate detection of BTA
Aim: To audit adherence to the Swedish paediatric guidelines for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants. Secondary objectives were to compare findings on imaging performed according to the guidelines with imaging without guideline support and to identify predictors of non-adherence. Methods: A prospective multicentre study of infants <1 year treated at paediatric hospitals for their first UTI.
Ecocriticism tends to acknowledge anthropomorphisms as a possible tool to create empathy for nonhumans, but in doing so mostly labels said tool as too sentimental for serious environmental literature. This paper aims to establish a categorisation of anthropomorphisms in media that allows a more diverse and detailed analysis of humanised nonhumans. It seeks to overcome the prevailing idea that anth
Let f be a holomorphic self-map of the unit disc. We show that if log(1 − | f (z)|) is integrable on a sub-arc of the unit circle, I , then the set of points where the function f has finite Carathéodory angular derivative on I is a countable union of Beurling–Carleson sets of finite entropy. Conversely, given a countable union of Beurling–Carleson sets, E , we construct a holomorphic self-map of t
