The distribution of angular correlations between prompt charm hadrons and primary charged particles in pp collisions is sensitive to the charm-quark hadronisation process. In this letter, charm-baryon correlations are measured for the first time by studying the azimuthal-angle difference between charged particles and prompt Λc+ baryons produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 T

Nature-based solutions (NBS) have emerged as an important concept to build climate resilience in cities whilst providing a wide range of ecological, economic, and social co-benefits. With the ambition of increasing NBS uptake, diverse actors have been developing means to demonstrate and prove these benefits. However, the multifunctionality, the different types of benefits provided, and the context

Given the contested nature of urban futures, we approach the term “transition” as a floating signifier to investigate imaginaries of transformation. Focusing on urban mobility transitions, we demonstrate the plurality of associations with a post-transition future. This perspective allows the identification of underlying tensions and incommensurabilities between competing visions of the future. Q m

Introduction: The Chilean Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery, together with other scientific societies, led a process for adapting the Canadian clinical practice guideline for obesity in adults for Chile. The aim of the Canadian guideline, among its main objectives, was to propose changes in obesity management using a chronic disease framework and focusing on improving patient-centered hea

Background: Stigmatization of persons living with obesity is an important public health issue. In 2015, Obesity Canada adopted person-first language in all internal documentation produced by the organization, and, from 2017, required all authors to use person-first language in abstract submissions to Obesity Canada hosted conferences. The impact of this intentional shift in strategic focus is not

INTRODUCTION: Parents can act as important agents of change and support for healthy childhood growth and development. Studies have found that parents may not be able to accurately perceive their child's weight status. The purpose of this study was to measure parental perceptions of their child's weight status and to identify predictors of potential parental misperceptions.METHODS: We used data fro

It has been close to 40 years since the Chernobyl accident and the introduction of ‘safety culture’, but still there is no consensus on its meaning. This thesis aims at exploring what meanings the Swedish nuclear industry has created out of ‘safety culture’ by situating the construct both contemporarily and historically, using a methodology inspired by phenomenology. The results show that the Swed

Obesity is a chronic disease with a significant and growing impact on Canadians. The “Awareness, Care and Treatment In Obesity MaNagement” (ACTION) Study investigated perceptions, attitudes and perceived barriers to obesity management among Canadian people with obesity (PwO), healthcare providers (HCPs) and employers. In this study adult PwO (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2, based on self-reported heigh

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore and understand the complexity of ageing in relation to factors of importance for extending working life. Method: Discourse analysis of documents was used in an integrative review including 128 articles. Result: Four different conceptualisation of ageing are shown to affect older workers’ ability to extend their working life: (a) biological ageing people’s

Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att finna strategier för att skapa ett friskare arbetsliv långt upp i åren och för att se äldre medarbetare som en viktig resurs vilket organisationen bör värna om och förvalta. I denna rapport studeras enkätsvaren från cirka 2 000 medarbetare 55 år eller äldre inom hälso- och sjukvården. De svarande kom från yrkesgrupperna läkare, sjuksköterska, sjukgym

With the rise of global obesity, which is linked to the development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, dietary strategies for prevention have become a subject of interest. Previous studies at Lund University have demonstrated the potential of plant polar lipids as a functional food ingredient for improving the postprandial metabolic response as well as reducing the appetite for up to 6 hours

Sweden’s grocery distribution is routed through a limited number of upstream hubs and relies on corridors and ferry links. When disruptions affect a hub or a critical link, reallocations propagate fast and travel times increase, with some areas losing coverage temporarily. Decentralising the whole system is costly, so targeted resilience options must be evaluated. The purpose of this thesis is to

This reflective commentary, based on long-term experience in UK higher education, proposes a novel approach to using a wicked problem model to develop policy and practice within higher education. The aim of this approach is to reframe the narrative of strategic development to acknowledge the complexity of cultural change and the importance of stakeholder consultation to build trust, moving away fr

This study investigated the changes in the physical activity of Japanese breast cancer survivors during and after the state of emergency declaration (SOED) due to the spread of COVID-19. Participants were survivors of stage I-IIa breast cancer diagnosed between the ages of 18 and 60 years who wore a wearable device (Fitbit Versa) before and after the SOED period. Outcomes included steps per day on

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are central architects of the tumor microenvironment (TME), influencing cancer progression, therapeutic response, and immune regulation. This thesis explores CAF heterogeneity and functional specialization in breast cancer through integrated single-cell transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, and functional studies.High-resolution analysis of murine and human data

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services are transforming consumer finance by offering lightly regulated short-term credit. This policy brief explores how BNPL data can be leveraged to improve credit risk assessments and enhance financial inclusion. Drawing on proprietary data from a Nordic bank, our research highlights how BNPL lending and the associated repayment histories can increase loan approval p

In this work, we present a simple yet effective framework to address the domain translation problem between different sensor modalities with unique data formats. By relying only on the semantics of the scene, our modular generative framework can, for the first time, synthesize a panoramic color image from a given full 3D LiDAR point cloud.The framework starts with semantic segmentation of the poin
