This chapter is an attempt to provide an interdisciplinary approach and appraisal. Methodologically, the chapter combines law with several disciplines in cultural studies, namely, history, ethics, and philosophy. The overarching objective is to provide a succinct overview of the development of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) while, at the same time, homing in on some of the main themes and
Background: Dietary carbohydrates are a major source of energy in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The health effects of different types of carbohydrates vary and there is a need to update the evidence regarding specific carbohydrates and their effects on health-related outcomes. Objective: The aim of this scoping review was to describe the evidence for the role of total carbohydrates (fiber exclu
The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of pain among students at upper secondary schools (adolescents aged 16–19 years) in Sweden. Focus group (n = 9) interviews with 41 adolescents were conducted in southern Sweden in 2021. The interviews were analyzed by qualitative content analysis, which identified four categories encompassing the theme how pain expressed itself: (1) a warning b
This paper explores how the Helsinki process altered practices within the Swedish Pentecostal community. In order to understand this process of change, we need to take two fundamental, and slightly contradictory, traits related to the East-West conflict found among this religious grouping into account. First, post-WWII Swedish Pentecostals were in general vehemently opposed to Communism and to the
In this paper, we investigate the effects of different augmentation strategies in self-supervised representation learning from electrocardiograms. Our study examines the impact of random resized crop and time out on downstream performance. We also consider the importance of the signal length. Furthermore, instead of using two augmented copies of the sample as a positive pair, we suggest augmenting
We introduce a model description of a diatomic molecule in an optical cavity, with pump and fluorescent fields, and electron and nuclear motion are treated on equal footing and exactly. The model accounts for several optical response temporal scenarios: A Mollow spectrum hindered by electron correlations, a competition of harmonic generation and molecular dissociation, a dependence of fluorescence
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder. Definitive treatment is surgical. Preoperative localization of diseased glands increases the chance of successful treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performance of 18F-fluoromethylcholine-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FCh-PET-CT) in preoperative localization of dise
Scientific uncertainty is clearly a prominent hurdle in public health policy and the policy choices made to tackle this uncertainty are largely left to the Member States. Indeed, the Court of Justice of the EU has long since held that the health and the life of humans rank first among the interests that Member States can legitimately pursue - even if they restrict the market freedoms in doing so -
The recent interest in characterizing 2D boron polymorphs has led to claims of the first stabilization of a honeycomb phase with conical Dirac-like electron dispersion. However, the synthesis of chemically stable, single, and homogeneous 2D boron phases still represents a significant experimental challenge. This is ascribed to the intrinsic boron electronic configuration that, at variance with car
Numerous studies have examined the challenges associated with developing second-home (SH) tourism in rural areas. However, little attention has been given to exploring the influence of power dynamics and rent-seeking behavior on the Real Estate Market for second homes (SHs). To address this research gap, our study conducted face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders in five selected villages in
The increased share of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power poses constraints on the stability of the grid and the security of supply due to the imbalance between electricity production and demand. Chemical storage or power-to-X technologies can provide the flexibility that is needed to overcome this issue. To quantify the needs of such storage systems, energy system opti
Background: In a workshop about working with the Canvas learning platform, three librarians at Lund University started a project to create a resource for the reference management program EndNote. We started in January 2020 and launched our Canvas course with EndNote X9 in August 2020. In 2021, the entire course was updated to adapt to EndNote 20 and we also added an English version due to request.
Purpose: With modern treatments, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients more frequently experience long-lasting remission resulting in a growing population of long-term survivors. Follow-up care includes identification and management of treatment-related late-effects, such as secondary malignancies (SM). We conducted a population-based study to describe the burden of SM in MCL patients. Methods: All
In its latest assessment report the IPCC stresses the need for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to counterbalance residual emissions to achieve net zero carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions. There are currently a wide variety of CDR measures available. Their potential and feasibility, however, depends on context specific conditions, as among others biophysical site characteristics, or availabili
This short report is one of a series of outputs to flow from the international,interdisciplinary project ‘Looking back to move forwards: a social and cultural historyof home heating’ (JUSTHEAT), funded through the Collaboration of Humanities andSocial Sciences in Europe (CHANSE) initiative, which began in 2022 and runs until2025. Within this project, we aim to understand how major changes to home
BackgroundThe Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most widely used standardised screener for impairments across a range of cognitive domains. However, the degree to which its domains (orientation, registration, attention, recall, language, and visuospatial) capture cognitive functioning measured using standardised neuropsychological tests is unclear.MethodA longitudinal research design wit
