Displacement ventilation is a proven method of providing conditioned air to enclosed spaces with the aim to deliver good air quality and thermal comfort while reducing the amount of energy required to operate the system. Until now, the practical applications of displacement ventilation have been exclusive to providing ventilation and cooling to large open spaces with high ceilings. The provision o
The Ukrainian Shield and Voronezh Crystalline Massif constitute the Sarmatian segment of Baltica. Here, only a few mafic-ultramafic dykes and layered intrusions have been dated, recording early Statherian (ca. 1800–1750 Ma) ages. We have determined new U-Pb baddeleyite ages for the Novogol sill (1789 ± 2 Ma) and the Gremyachye intrusion (1781 ± 7 Ma), which fall within the previously established a
This chapter highlights the importance of collective conversations regarding how to navigate the complexity of positions, roles, stakes, interests and feelings that most researchers experience. The author explores a conversational format as a way of writing about affective reflexivity. The chapter departs in a PhD project focusing on the lived experiences of variations of sex characteristics, in o
This article addresses the variation of anti-corruption and anti-elite salience in party positioning across Europe. It demonstrates that while anti-corruption salience is primarily related to the (regional) context in which a party operates, anti-elite salience is primarily a function of party ideology. Extreme left and extreme conservative (TAN) parties are significantly more likely to emphasize
Stock exchange trading increasingly has been highlighted as a possible cause of gambling disorder, typically in rapid and excessive “day trading” which may cause over-indebtedness and mental health problems. The COVID-19 pandemic has been suspected to increase online gambling and gambling problems. In a number of recent media reports, day trading has been reported to increase during COVID-19, poss
The Paleogene history of biogenic opal accumulation in the North Atlantic provides insight into both the evolution of deepwater circulation in the Atlantic basin and weathering responses to major climate shifts. However, existing records are compromised by low temporal resolution and/or stratigraphic discontinuities. In order to address this problem, we present a multi-site, high-resolution record
One-stage method of polysulfone (PSf) membrane modification by the addition of polyacrylic acid (PAA, Mn = 250 kg·mol−1) to the coagulation bath during membrane preparation via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) was proposed. The effect of PAA concentration on the membrane structure, hydrophilicity, zeta potential, separation performance and antifouling stability in ultrafiltration of lys
The prevalence of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in the general child population is still largely unknown and validated screening instruments are lacking. The aims of this study were (1) to investigate the prevalence of children screening positive for ARFID in a Japanese birth cohort using a newly developed parent-reported screening tool, (2) to estimate the prevalence of childr
Kusiner förlorade sin arvsrätt med 1928 års arvslag och står än idag utanför den allmänna arvsordningen. Sambor har aldrig tagits upp in i den till att börja med. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka arvsrätten för kusiner och sambos i svensk rätt. Grupperna har gemensamt att de ofta står den avlidna men samtidigt utanför den allmänna arvsordningen. Frågorna som ställs handlar om hur synen på kCousins lost their right of inheritance with the 1928 Inheritance code and remain outside the general order of succession to this day. Cohabiting partners have never been included in it to begin with. The purpose of this essay is to examine the right of inheritance for cousins and cohabiting partners in Swedish law. The two groups have in common that they are often close to the deceased, yet the
Contemporary processes of radicalization into far-right extremism are increasingly shaped by digital, online communication environments that convey ideology through multiple communication modes, as well as aesthetic and culturally embedded forms of expression. Short-form content platforms such as TikTok enable fast production and circulation of highly engaging content that creates communicative ar
This thesis examines the extent to which relational preconditions for innovation are institutionalised within the governance framework of the third pillar of Horizon Europe. Departing from the observation that existing research on EU innovation governance has focused predominantly on funding mechanisms and regulatory instruments, the study addresses a conceptual gap: while innovation theory consis
Background Climate change has become one of the leading drivers of global food insecurity, and its effects are felt most strongly in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa. As environmental degradation and climate-related stresses increasingly affect agricultural production, large buyers of food com- modities become exposed to growing environmental sourcing risks. The United Nations World Food Program
Organic pollutants in aquatic environments pose a threat to ecosystems and human health, a challenge that requires urgent resolution. This urgent threat highlights the need for the development of efficient technologies for pollutant detection and degradation in environmental protection. This study presents the successful fabrication of a composite nanomaterial consisting of Ag nanoparticle-decorat
Aim: To provide an overview of a project aimed at enhancing person-centred surgical care through teamwork and professional development. Design: A discursive paper with the purpose of describing and discussing the project activities to strengthen person-centred care, teamwork and professional development. Methods: This project aimed to strengthen evidence-based surgical nursing care within a Surger
Objective To train and validate a deep learning-based diagnostic tool capable of accurately segmenting the alveolar cleft region and automatically estimating the required bone graft volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Study Design Eighty-eight CBCT scans from patients with nonsyndromic unilateral clefts were divided into training (n = 45), validation (n = 10), and test (n =
European forests have served as a critical carbon sink, absorbing approximately 10% of annual anthropogenic CO₂ emissions in the EU, as a result of both increased forest area and growing stock since 1950. However, this sink has declined by one-third over the past decade, based on the EU National Greenhouse Gas Inventory. This decline has been proposed to be due to multiple interacting factors: cli
A search for the production of a Higgs boson and one or more charm quarks, in which the Higgs boson decays into a photon pair, is presented. This search uses proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis relies on the identification of charm-quark-containing
This paper presents a search for physics beyond the Standard Model targeting a heavy resonance visible in the invariant mass of the lepton-jet system. The analysis focuses on final states with a high-energy lepton and jet, and is optimised for the resonant production of leptoquarks — a novel production mode mediated by the lepton content of the proton originating from quantum fluctuations. Four di
