For more than a century the research on the Antikythera Mechanism engaged scientists from a widerange of scientific disciplines searching for clues, in order to solve the mystery that this unique ar-chaeological find poses. The results so far have been spectacular enough to re-write the History ofTechnology providing new aspects on the degree of technological sophistication and scientific de-velop

För att kunna optimera idrottares säkerhet är det viktigt att tränare och medicinsk personal har utbildning i HLR och OB-ABCDE-principerna. För paraidrottare är det också viktigt att ha en plan för hur man tar bort utrustning vid ett trauma. Dessutom rekommenderas det att medicinsk personal alltid är närvarande vid tävlingar, och om möjligt även under idrottarnas träningspass.In order to optimize the safety of athletes, it is important that coaches and medical personnel have training in CPR and the OB-ABCDE principles. For para athletes, it is also important to have a plan for how to remove equipment in the event of a trauma. In addition, it is recommended that medical personnel are always present at competitions, and if possible also during the athletes' training sess

Research is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was condu

A strategy for the formation of thin reconstituted cellulose films (pure or modified)) with embedded receptors or embedded ion-selective components is reported. Cellulose nanofibril ribbons from sisal of typically 3-5 nm diameter and 250 nm length are reconstituted into thin films of typically 1.5-2.0 μm thickness (or into thicker free-standing films). Cellulose and cellulose nanocomposite films a

Using a model disordered mesoporous solid with a spatial arrangement of pore sizes analogous to a macroscopic 'ink-bottle', it has been shown that the hysteresis observed in NMR cryoporometry can be deconvoluted into separate single pore and pore-blocking contributions. The suggestion of pore-blocking effects has been confirmed using PFG NMR. Hence, percolation theory has been used, for the first

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the effects of caffeine compared to aminophylline or theophylline in preterm infants at risk of apnea, with apnea, or in the peri-extubation phase.

Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis by radical debridement and filling of the dead space with antibiotic containing calcium sulphate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) bone substitute has shown excellent long-term outcomes. However, in extensive infections, sessile bacteria may remain in bone cells or soft tissues protected by biofilm leading to recurrences. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate if sy

Universities are increasingly being seen as a positive vehicle for territorial development and regional transformation, with an important role in enhancing Social, Economic and Sustainable Development of territories. The world’s sustainability challenges are listed in the United Nation’s Agenda 2030, that includes Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as actors that can work in partnership with oth

The advent and popularity of shared electric scooters in many urban areas worldwide offer new opportunities and challenges to be addressed by the research community, especially as far as safety and accessibility issues are concerned. This paper proposes a methodology, based on geofencing technology (i.e., virtual geographic boundaries) to define in which urban areas the speed of shared electric sc

Background. We investigated how varying the treatment margin and applying hippocampal sparing and proton therapy impact the risk of neurocognitive impairment in pediatric medulloblastoma patients compared with current standard 3D conformal radiotherapy. Methods. We included 17 pediatric medulloblastoma patients to represent the variability in tumor location relative to the hippocampal region. Trea

This study investigated the dosimetric impact of uncompensated motion and motion compensation with dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) tracking for prostate intensity modulated arc therapy. Two treatment approaches were investigated; a conventional approach with a uniform radiation dose to the target volume and an intraprostatic lesion (IPL) boosted approach with an increased dose to a subvolume o

Responsible internationalization has become an increasingly used term to promote relationship building in a world which is increasingly shaped by the growing impact of global challenges and geopolitical competition. Amidst these changing global conditions researchers and universities have started to learn that they need to adhere to an expanded set of norms related to the research endeavor. Today

The sixth volume in the Interdisciplinary European Studies assesses the changes that are taking place in the EU’s policies, institutions, and political structures. On the eve of a new chapter of European integration in the dark shadow of the war in Ukraine, it is high time to assess the changes that have taken place in recent time and consider whether current developments are taking the EU on the

The majority of spatial data users are inexperienced in spatial information science. This group of users cannot analyze spatial data and produce the required information. Therefore, the availability of mechanisms and applications for automatic and interoperable spatial data processing and information extraction is necessary. Generalization is one of the main geoprocesses, which is widely used. The

Diffusion MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique used to study the microstructural properties of biological tissues by observing the self-diffusion of water molecules. Traditional diffusion MRI methods, based on the pulsed gradient spin-echo sequence, employ magnetic field gradients to encode information about translational motion. However, this approach combines various aspects of diffusion, suc

The aim of this study is to describe in what way the students' learning outcomes and theoretical assumptions are used by teachers to enhance the design of lessons with a focus on development of sustainable learning over time. Seven teachers and 71 students in an upper secondary school participated, along with one researcher. Three lessons were designed and implemented in three different student gr
