The effort to electrify society has in recent years resulted in major changes in the transportation sector. Charging time remains a challenge in several applications such as transportation and heavy machinery. A proposed solution that shortens the energy replenishment time and adds flexibility in loading the grid is to battery-swapping: exchanging the depleted battery for a fully charged one. In s

We investigated the role of cultural experience in the search advantage for happy faces. European British participants living in the UK, Asian Japanese participants living in Japan, and Asian Japanese participants living in the UK, were required to search for a happy or an angry face target against a background of neutral facial expressions, using Asian Japanese and European American faces.

Flera platser utmed den skånska kusten har idag problem med stranderosion som innebär att havet äter sig inåt land så att stränder och kustlandskap försvinner. När havet stiger förväntas stranderosionen att öka och även kust sträckor som idag inte har problem kan komma att drabbas. Då kustlinjen rör sig inåt land hotas bebyggelse, infra struktur och naturområden, samtidigt som översvämningsrisken Beach erosion is expected to increase as the sea level rises during the coming decades. A retreating coastline threat ens infrastructure, settlements, nature habitats, and at the same time increases the flood risk in low-lying areas. On the Swedish south coast, beach erosion is a problem at present likely to increase due to the sea level rise. For main taining the beaches and protecting the hinter

The landscape of healthcare is experiencing a digitalization shift, transferring many medical activities to the patients’ homes, a phenomenon commonly referred to as Hospital-at-Home. While Internet of Things (IoT) devices facilitate the building of such systems, there is a need for powerful middleware that encapsulates device-to-device communication, and enables the construction of user-friendly,

Introduction Asthma may increase the risk of comorbidities and systemic inflammation, but population data are scarce. This study aimed to compare comorbidities and systemic inflammation between those with and without current asthma and to identify characteristics linked to comorbidities and biomarkers. Methods In a cross-sectional analysis of 28 828 people aged 50–64 in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary

Objective: To evaluate the impact of pregestational diabetes on duration of active labour (DAL) in induced and spontaneous labour and to compare caesarean section (CS) rates and indications between women with and without diabetes. Design: A population-based cohort study. Setting: Sweden. Population: 243 537 nulliparous women, registered in the Swedish Pregnancy Register, who delivered a singleton

Background: Ambulatory oxygen therapy is prescribed for patients with chronic lung diseases who experience exertional hypoxemia. However, available devices may not adequately meet user requirements, and their performance characteristics are heterogeneous. Objective: This study aims to identify devices available for delivery of ambulatory oxygen therapy, the technologies that they use to generate o

Background Direct cell reprogramming is characterized by the use of defined factors to rewire the transcriptional and epigenetic network of one cell-type into one of a different lineage. We have recently identified the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8, and BAFT3 (PIB) as sufficient to induce a type 1 conventional dendritic cell (cDC1) fate in both somatic and cancer cells.1,2 cDC1 is a rare dendri

Children with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are often described by their parents or teachers as "little adults, " in part because of the seemingly adult-like themes that populate their child's worries; for example, the health of family members or family finances and concerns about performance. Younger children may experience more vague worries of "something" bad happening to themselves, famil

• Semiarid regions control a large fraction of the interannual variability in the global terrestrial CO2 sink and of atmospheric CO2 growth rate. • Semiarid ecosystems are characterized by recurring disturbances that alter the regional C budgets. As disturbances are expected to become more frequent or intense in the future, quantifying their contribution to semiarid C balance is crucial. • We revi

Encounters between patients in homecare and nursing students are cultural events where students, in principle, are in unknown territory. This study illuminated how nursing students recount (inter)actions in social relations in Danish homecare settings, illustrated by students with a self-appointed immigrant background. The study consisted of semi-structured interviews with eight nursing students.

Introduction Breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with age, with people progressively reducing their everyday activities to ‘self-manage’ it. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of breathlessness on function in terms of activities that have been reduced or ceased (‘compromised’) in older men.Methods A cross-sectional postal survey of Swedish 73-year-old man in the VAScula

Plastic’s unique properties are vital for a sustainable future, but its excessive global use signifies consumer society’s wastefulness, often found in short-lived products. Plastic development has overlooked recycling needs, resulting in low material recycling due to a wide array of plastic types with varying additives, leading to recycling challenges. Research focused on thermoplastics aims to re

When discussing the relationship between religion and LGBTQIA+ rights in Europe today, the two are often framed by both religious and secular representatives as oppositional forces. While the rights of sexual and gender minorities are frequently described as symbols of progress and modernity within liberal democracies, religious communities and traditions are commonly portrayed as defenders of tra

Bakgrund: Patienter med avancerad gastrointestinal (GI) cancer har en hög symtombörda, vilket ofta medför behov av akutsjukvård. Integration av tidig, hem-baserad specialiserad palliativ vård (SPV) tillsammans med tumörspecifik behandling kan påverka behov av akut sjukvård.Metoder: Vid initiering av palliativ kemoterapi randomiserades patienter med avancerad GI-cancer till tidig hem-baserad SPV inBackgroundPatients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancer experience a high symptom burden which frequently necessitates emergency care. Integration of early home-based specialised palliative care (SPC) with tumour-specific treatments may impact emergency healthcare use.MethodsAt the initiation of palliative chemotherapy, patients with advanced GI cancer were randomised to early home-based SPC
