OBJECTIVE: To determine whether perturbations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) were associated with the presence of chronic widespread pain (CWP) in men. METHODS: The European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) is an 8-center population-based study of men aged 40-79 years recruited from population registers. A questionnaire asked about the presence and duration of
While digital play installations for outdoor use are becoming more common, little work has been done on how such technology shapes play in nature-rich environments. We performed a study of children's self-directed play with access to nature as well as digital installations. Our findings show that play with nature materials and digital installations emerged in different ways. Most notably, imaginat

In this paper, we investigate a Multi-layer Aerial system for GenAI inference at the Edge (MAGE). Therein, ground user equipments (UEs) request image synthesis services from a remote base station (BS) that leverages the Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) for image generation. Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are deployed to serve the UEs for relaying their images and prompts to the BS. To reduce
Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods offer a great potential for simulations of turbulent and wall bounded flows with complex geometries since these high-order schemes offer a great potential in handling eddies. Recently, space-time DG methods have become more popular. These discretizations result in implicit schemes of high order in both spatial and temporal directions. In particular, we consider
This chapter challenges the widespread belief that shopping provides lasting happiness and stress relief. This myth, often referred to as ‘retail therapy’, suggests that consumption serves as an effective coping mechanism for emotional distress. Rooted in post-war consumer culture and reinforced by advertising, this idea has normalised the use of material goods to manage emotions, fostering a depe
Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef
Through the literature on self in the digital sphere, there has been a large focus on vocal consumption and the expressiveness of consumers, hence, there is minimal knowledge concerning how silent consumption can influence the self. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore and understand how the consumer uses social media and silent consumption, which we define as consumption and interac
Thesis purpose: to develop theory that can explain the contradictions that we see in contemporary society in the choice of cooking salt. Salt consumption can cause severe health problems. Consumers in the middle and upper classes are health aware, but seem to have other motivations for their choice in cooking salt. As appears in the hype that we see around cooking salt and the increased specialisa
Background Finite mixture models posit the existence of a latent categorical variable and can be used for probabilistic classification. The authors illustrate the use of mixture models for dietary pattern analysis. An advantage of this approach is taking classification uncertainty into account. Methods Participants were a random sample of women from the European Prospective Investigation into Canc
Since the seriousness and urgency of climate change has surfaced during the last decade, researchers, experts, and even the pope have argued that dealing with it is a moral issue. However, emissions keep rising and it seems as if few people in the north are ready and willing to make any substantial lifestyle changes to minimize the potentially catastrophic consequences, mainly to the south. Intern
Previous research has shown that sustainable improvements need incentives to carry them through. An assumption is that it may be easier to incorporatesustainable thinking in an organization if the organization understandswhich actions it is that are having a positive effect on sustainability andon tangible costs. This paper aims to highlight the synergy effects thatoccur in the intersection betwee
Aviation remains a problematic sector of the global economy in times of climate emergency. Grounded in the ideology of reconfiguration, we adopt a system transitions perspective to address high emissions leisure travel. Our focus falls on the marketing communications of airlines as a critical component in the prevailing sociotechnical regime. Thematic analysis of the e-mail marketing communication

The current process of issuing industrial and mineral licenses is complex and time consuming. More specific, industry establishment generally makes environmental pollution. Such negative impact on environment is due to not using proper information and mechanisms for site selection and license issuance. This research suggests a new process/method based on WebGIS enable e-government to simplify the
A new sampler with embedded FIR filter was designed with the charge sampling technique. The filter functions by summing the weighted current on a passive capacitor and the weighting factors are decided by the FIR coefficients. The performance of the filter can well compete with conventional analog filter but with smaller area and less power consumption. A testing chip was designed with 2 V supply,
In contrast to artificial systems, animals must forage for food. In biology, the availability of energy is typically both precarious and highly variable. Most importantly, the very structure of organisms is dependent on the continuous metabolism of nutrients into ATP, and its use in maintaining homeostasis. This means that energy is at the centre of all biological processes, including cognition. S
Gruv- och ballastindustrin utgör en mycket viktig sektor i den svenska ekonomin. Där gruvindustrin operar på den globala arenan medan sten branschen operar på regional/lokal basis. Efterfrågan av metaller- och byggnadsmaterial har ökat under det senaste decenniet och mängden fasta mineraler och stenar som tas ut ur jordskorpan är nästan 80 miljarder ton per år, med ballast som den största delen.DeThe mining and quarrying industries represent a highly important sector of the Swedish economy. The mining industry operates globally, whereas the quarrying industry operates on a regional/local basis. Demands for metal and construction aggregates have increased over the last decade, and almost 80 billion tons of solid minerals and rocks are extracted from the earth’s crust each year. Construction
