Background: Access to improved water and sanitation infrastructures are key determinants of health. The sub-Saharan African region in particular is lagging behind the ambitious goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to ensure universal access to improved and reliable water and sanitation for all (Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6). Large mining projects can promote economic growth
Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a concept where water is stored in an aquifer during times when it is available, thus creating artificial groundwater, which can later be recovered by pumping when it is needed (Pyne, 1995). One ASR cycle consists of a injection, a standby and a recovery phase. The purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of large scale ASR systems intended for l
The integration of geoinformation with BIM (GeoBIM) is critical to underpin solutions to many city-related challenges. However, to achieve an effective integration it is necessary to consider not only data and technical options but also current practice and users’ needs. This paper describes work carried out within the EuroSDR-GeoBIM project to address this challenge. After investigating potential
Objectives: Discrimination and prejudice are prevalent in workplaces worldwide, but there are few empirically validated interventions for combating racial bias in organizational settings. This study aims to evaluate an intervention consisting of experiential exercises derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). The objective is to address psychologica
In the face of climate change, today’s young people need to balance the challenges of being active and maintaining mental health. This study investigated climate resilience, meaning patterns of climate engagement and mental health among adolescents. Using latent profile analysis, we identified three profiles in a sample of N=603 Swedish adolescents: climate-resilient (17%, active and not impaired)
Tensor-valued encoding in diffusion MRI allows probing of microscopic anisotropy in tissue, however, time-dependent diffusion (TDD) can bias results unless b-tensors are carefully tuned to account for TDD. We propose two novel strategies for tuning b-tensors to enable accurate measurements without interference from TDD due to restricted diffusion. The first strategy involves identifying encoding t
Background: Optimal long-term follow-up (LTFU) care for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer can improve or maintain their quality of life by prevention and early treatment of late effects. However, optimal LTFU care is not provided to all CAYA cancer survivors. This systematic review sought to identify associated barriers, facilitators and other factors of LTFU care fo
Access to outdoor leisure activities is central to supporting active and healthy ageing. To address the lack of research on services supporting continued engagement, this study examines how public, voluntary and private sectors provide outdoor recreation services for older adults. This study uses a qualitative research design to draw on interviews, a workshop, and field observations conducted in a
The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availabi
Population ageing affects most European countries, placing increasing pressure on publicly funded Long Term Care (LTC) systems. Informal care is often seen as a low-cost alternative to formal care services, yet it may induce unwelcome reductions in labour supply. This study presents evidence on the relationship of informal care provision, employment probability, and work hours of mature caregivers
Det åvilar samhället ett stort ansvar att skydda våldsutsatta barn. Att bevittna våld kan vara lika traumatiskt för ett barn som att själv utsättas. I januari 2022 konstaterade Jämställdhetsmyndigheten, efter en granskning av 814 tingsrättsdomar i mål om vårdnad, boende och umgänge, att uppgifter om våld eller andra övergrepp mot barn, förälder eller partner förekom i 64 procent av de granskade doSociety has a great responsibility to protect children from violence. For a child, it can be as traumatizing to witness violence as it is to be the victim of it. In January 2022, the Swedish Gender Equality Agency found, after reviewing 814 judgements from the district courts concerning custody, residence and contact, that allegations of violence or other abuse could be found in 64 percent of the
Industrial design can double up in protected, by copyright protection as well as registered community design protection within EU. Thus, there can be seen a tendency for right holders to take comfort in copyright protection.2 The boundaries between the scope and extensions of the protection forms are not clear, neither to legal professionals nor the industrial professionals. The purpose of the th
Sierra Leone has struggled with high rates of adolescent pregnancy for some time and reports have shown an increase in these figures during and following the unprecedented Ebola Virus Disease outbreak from 2014 through 15. As young girls are impregnated, it has long been customary for girls to drop out of school. When schools re-opened after the Ebola crisis, this practice was formalized as the Mi
Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest freshwater lake by area shared by three countries: Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The lake supports the economic development of the region through transport and fishing as well as recreational and tourism activities in the three countries. The main ports on the lake are Kisumu, Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Portbell, and Jinja served by several train ferry services for b
The Andes of Ecuador are known for an outstanding biodiversity but is also a region where the abandonment rate of agricultural land is high, highlighting the need for forest restoration with native species. Here, the germination and growth requirements for propagation of the hummingbird pollinated bush species Salvia corrugata and Macleania rupestris were studied to better understand their suitabi
Previous research has shown self-authenticity to be an important aspect of the consumer experience, especially in luxury consumption. However, previous research has been inconclusive regarding how consumer personality traits interact with self-authenticity in a second-hand luxury consumption context. Furthermore, these personality traits were also researched when the consumer felt more deserving i
