Thus, capturing value from digital platforms embedded in a social-purpose-driven ecosystem fundamental

The surrounding climate gives temperature variations in both time and space for concrete structures. Due to external and internal restraints thermal strains and stresses may develop in the structure and these stresses can contribute to cracking. This will affect the performance of the structure. To predict the dynamic thermal conditions in concrete structures a finite element model has been develo

Aim: To describe drug use and healthcare utilisation among persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) and dementia in comparison to persons with ID only and dementia only. Method: From the group of persons with ID (n=7936), 216 individuals with dementia were identified. 81 persons with dementia were identified from a general population sample matched by age and sex.

This study focuses on the introduction of new nuclear, particularly Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. The Swedish Government has decided on a revival for nuclear energy where SMRs are an important contribution to reach the goal of a total output of at least 2 500 MW by 2035. In this stage when much is unclear about the re-introduction and SMRs are under development media is an important age

The present report from the ESE Educational Program on Parathyroid Disorders (PARAT Program) presents recent developments and novelties in the clinical care of parathyroid disorders in a question-and-answer format, based on a satellite workshop held in relation to the European Congress of Endocrinology in Stockholm, May 2024. The workshop focused on clinical aspects of 3 main themes: primary hyper
