While international research is increasingly concerned about the role of socio-economic status in special education, Greek scholars have focused on the psychological and behavioural aspects and their connection to academic attainment, overlooking the impact of socio-economic status. Even though the Greek legal framework advocates for inclusive education, there is a significant gap between policies
This thesis examines the extent to which relational preconditions for innovation are institutionalised within the governance framework of the third pillar of Horizon Europe. Departing from the observation that existing research on EU innovation governance has focused predominantly on funding mechanisms and regulatory instruments, the study addresses a conceptual gap: while innovation theory consis
Background: Guidelines recommend systemic thrombolysis (ST) as first-line reperfusion therapy for highrisk pulmonary embolism (PE), however, clinical concerns regarding bleeding risk frequently limit its use in clinical practice. Catheter-directed therapy (CDT) should be considered when ST is contraindicated or has failed but is increasingly used outside these recommendations despite limited guide
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most important complication after left pancreatectomy. Superiority of hand-sewn closure or stapler closure of pancreatic stump in terms of short-term outcomes is not established. The aim of this study was to compare short-term surgical outcomes between the 2 modalities after left pancreatectomy. STUDY DESIGN: An international, multicenter,
BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study represents an external validation with model updating of the online DIGIROP-Prescreen and DIGIROP-Screen 2.0 prediction models, incorporating ≥14 days of parenteral nutrition as an additional predictor, to identify infants requiring treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a contemporary Swedish cohort, estimate potential cost savings and compare DIGIROP perfor
Background: Colophony and its derivatives are common allergens. Contact dermatitis from colophony-containing adhesive tapes for blister prevention has previously been reported among Swedish conscripts. Objectives: To present the investigation of suspected allergic contact dermatitis among Norwegian military personnel exposed to medical adhesive tapes during service. Patients/Materials/Methods: Fou
Given the assumptions of rational choice, this essay explicates the distributive consequences of different ethical positions and how the relationship between eth-ics and distributions provides a rationale for a struggle for moral authority for the purpose of procuring distributive shares. The argument provides a partial answer to the question of why there is political struggle in all human societi
This article explores the similarities between the two most successful Swedish films of the past years. Through a focus on the two elderly protagonists the article discusses how the films acknowledge challenges in these men’s lives and in both contemporary and past society, but effectively repackage any serious issue in a form that remains palatable to audiences in Sweden and internationally. Them
Control of nutrients, mainly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), plays a significant role in preventing cyanobacterial blooms (harmful algal blooms (HABs)). This study aims at evaluating changes in the risk of the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms and advancing the understanding of how nitrogen and phosphorus affect the growth of cyanobacteria in a eutrophic lake, Lake Vombsjön, in southern Sweden.
The analysis of stable isotopes assisted in identifying that groundwater in the Punata alluvial fan is mainly recharged by heavy flash floods, and the recharge from rainfall is of less importance. In addition, the hydrochemical analysis identified the Pucara River as the main source of recharge. Other streams in the north and northwest of the fan do not seem to contribute to the recharge. The hydr
Home care services are an important part of the Swedish social welfare system. Considering the size of the sector and the increasing future needs for home care, due to growing elderly populations, it is worrisome that problems in terms of injuries, sick leave and staff turnover appear common in this occupation. A problem for managing the situation is, however, that the current knowledgebase is fra
Recent studies have focused on investigating different factors that may affect heart rate variability (HRV), pointing especially to the effects of age, gender and stress level. Other findings raise the importance of considering the respiratory frequency in the analysis of HRV signals. In this study, we evaluate the effect of several covariates on the parameters of a stochastic model for HRV. The d
Consumers appreciate leafy green vegetables such as baby leaves for their convenience and wholesomeness and for adding a variety of tastes and colors to their plate. In Western cuisine, leafy green vegetables are usually eaten fresh and raw, with no step in the long chain from seed to consumption where potentially harmful microorganisms could be completely eliminated, e.g., through heating. A conc
The extraction, supply, market price and recycling of the metals molybdenum and rhenium were modelled using an integrated system dynamics model. The resource estimates made here resulted in significantly larger estimates than earlier studies for molybdenum. Present molybdenum resources are about 75–80 million ton and about 7 million ton has been mined to date. The ultimately recoverable resources
Home energy management systems (HEMS), providing energy feedback and smart features through in-home displays, have the potential to support more sustainable household decisions concerning energy consumption. However, recent findings from European smart metering trials have reduced the optimism, suggesting only modest savings from energy feedback. In this paper, we investigate the potential of HEMS
A decision is the result of comparing one or more alternatives with respect to one or more criteria that we consider relevant to the decision. Decision making can be considered as one of the most important challenges that analysts and experts encounter to solve complex problems. In recent decades, different methods and algorithms have been presented to support decision making. Multi-criteria analy
This paper discusses the relevance of transient events of strong large-scale ocean evaporation (SLOE) for the deuteriumexcess of marine boundary layer vapor d using a theoretical framework that invokes the closure assumption. We argue that during SLOE events, d is essentially determined by the evaporation flux signature. Distinct high d during SLOE with global-mean values in the range of 12‰-23‰ d
Background: The Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) is a self-administered hip-specific questionnaire intended to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations, and it is commonly used to evaluate interventions in individuals with hip dysfunction or hip osteoarthritis. The HOOS consists of 43 questions in five subscales: Pain, Symptoms, Function in daily living, Function in sport
