Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may be due to the spread of chemical or biological compounds from building into the indoor air. One way to avoid the problem is to attach an emissions barrier indoors onto the surfaces from which the emissions are being spread (floor, walls, ceiling). Here we report on the use of the surface emissions trap (cTrap), an emissions barrier developed at Lund Univ

Background: Policy advocacy (PA) in European healthcare has a strong tradition promoting evidence-based policies. Key organisations, including the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the WHO’s Evidence-Informed Policy Network, and the OECD play pivotal roles in integrating research into policymaking. Objectives: To assess the involvement of European Family Medicine (FM) Associatio

Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with a poor prognosis but is difficult to diagnose non-invasively. In a recent paper, ST-segment depression on exercise-ECG was found to have a very high positive predictive value (PPV) for CMD in a highly selected group of patients. Objectives In the present study of chest pain patients, we used myocardial perfusion single photon e

Background and purpose: Molecularly targeted cancer therapies challenge conventional health economic evaluation frameworks that are structured around tumour-specific indications, comparators, and trial designs. Existing models often rely on pooled estimates from heterogeneous early-phase evidence or single-indication analyses, creating uncertainty for reimbursement decision-makers. We propose a co

This chapter interrogates the widespread belief that individual purchasing choices are the main force behind sustainability transitions. This myth rests on three assumptions: that consumers drive markets while businesses and governments merely react, that individuals are defined primarily as buyers and that deliberate consumer decisions can alone create sustainable demand. The chapter shows how th

This chapter summarizes the processes that are responsible for cosmogenic radionuclide variations in ice cores and the results that can be inferred from these records. The chapter starts with the production in the atmosphere caused by the influx of galactic cosmic ray particles and its modulation by the solar and geomagnetic field. Subsequently, the geochemical behavior of cosmogenic radionuclides

In the summer of 2022, Iury started an exchange of handwritten letters with her then supervisor Adriana Schneider Alcure and with PhD candidate Ian Calvet, both artist researchers basedat the Theatre Department of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The written letters were an attempt to connect personal, socio-political and artistic experiences and scholarship produced in the Global

Domestic service has historically been one of the commonest forms of employment for women. In this chapter, we pose the question whether paid jobs in domestic service offered any career opportunities for women. A point of departure for the chapter is the existence and possible meanings of various occupational titles in the sector, for example ‘servant’, ‘housemaid’ and ‘housekeeper’. Our investiga

This paper summarises a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation study for precision resonance energy scan measurements. Apart from the proof of principle for natural width and line shape measurements of very narrow resonances with PANDA, the achievable sensitivities are quantified for the concrete example of the charmonium-like X(3872) state discussed to be exotic, and for a larger parameter space of

The primary focus of this review is a discussion regarding in vitro media for colon release, but we also give a brief overview of colon delivery and the colon microbiota as a baseline for this discussion. The large intestine is colonized by a vast number of bacteria, approximately 10 12 per gram of intestinal content. The microbial community in the colon is complex and there is still much that i

Purpose: To provide a focused review of sickle cell retinopathy in the light of recent advances in the pathogenesis, multimodal retinal imaging, management of the condition, and migration trends, which may lead to increased prevalence of the condition in the Western world. Methods: Non-systematic focused literature review. Results: Sickle retinopathy results from aggregation of abnormal hemoglobin

In reply to Marquette and Peiffer's article “Grappling With the ‘Real Politics’ of Systemic Corruption: Theoretical Debates Versus ‘Real-World’ Functions,” this article employs three criticisms: Marquette and Peiffer's call to grapple with the “real politics of corruption” does not bring much new to the table, is conceptually flawed, and risks serving as an excuse for corrupt elites to pursue “bus
