Purpose: Digitalization and circularity are core elements to achieve a sustainabledevelopment and call for innovation in the building sector. Although reusing building parts is recognized as a viable strategy, it requires adapted design approaches. Generative design (GD) could assist designers in elaborating suitable solutions using the existing building stock as well as in designing for future re
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for postoperative pain and nausea after open repair for primary ventral hernias. Method: A population-based registry study was conducted based on data assembled from the Swedish national ventral hernia repair register between January 2016 and December 2021and cross-matched with the Swedish perioperative register. Results: Altogether 2064
One of the benefits often claimed for 'moving' the state closer to people through the institutional reforms of democratic decentralisation is an improvement in the inclusion of politically marginalised groups. Decentralisation promises to deliver both the closer physical presence of centres of government and the formalisation of practices of representation at the grassroots. These changes in turn
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire area of health care, including care provided to patients with mental health problems. Due to the stressful nature of the pandemic, the number of patients experiencing mental health problems, especially depression or anxiety, has increased. Even well-before the pandemic, Europe struggled with a lack of mental health care, which was especially caused by
Women have always played a central role in smallholder agriculture in many farming systems of the Global South. However, they have had, and still have, low access to agricultural information, and even less ability to enact on training or advice received, in comparison to male farmers. The paper investigates what is needed for female smallholders to better benefit from agricultural advice and train
When parametrizing multi-Higgs potentials, it is desirable to express its coefficients via observables. This is routinely done for the 2HDM, but this approach often fails in more elaborate models. Here, we show that the scalar sector of the CP4 3HDM, an intriguing model based on an order-4 CP symmetry, can also be parametrized in an observable-driven manner. The key feature that makes it work is t
This study aims to develop a comprehensive model that accurately represents the perceptual system of drivers and provides insights into their behavior. Existing models, namely the Skill-Rule-Knowledge model and the dynamic driving task model, were integrated. This integrated model successfully elucidates the sequential processes involved in sensation reception, recognition, judgment, and control.
In several circumstances, a level-three automated vehicle cannot continue driving in an automated driving mode and requests a human driver to take over. In this study, a series of experiments to examine how to provide a TOR was conducted. First, for forty-one persons, a HUD icon, earcon, seat vibration, and combinations were compared. The results indicated that the HUD icon-earcon and HUD icon-sea
E-poster, 2-minute presentation Statement of Problem Self-generated mobility, defined as the capacity for independent movement, plays a critical role in early childhood development. Limited mobility, often associated with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, poses significant developmental delays, particularly impacting physical, social, and cognitive growth. Description of the Co
Ideas on the (human) body, gender, and identity lie at the core of many socio-political issues and cultural trends in Asia today, while also inspiring innovative research on artistic expression from Asia's past. By focusing on socio-political as well as cultural issues from diverse geographical and historical contexts, this book highlights complex links and interactions that bind these three inter
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with substantial costs that escalate as the disease progresses. Previous research has explored the relationship between disease progression, motor symptoms, and the economic burden of PD. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the relationship between costs and non-motor symptoms (NMS). Objective: To examine t
The primary aim of this study is to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and develop a land use map to support the sustainable management of water resources in the irrigated Tassaout perimeter of Tensift. This is achieved by combining a time series of high spatial resolution Sentinel-2 satellite images, meteorological data, and field data. The method is based on the relationships between normali
A report of the Sweden new government on the future for bioenergy is presented. The report state that the agriculture sector supplies 1.5 TWh of biomass energy to the Swedish energy system in the form of wheat, rapeseed, and some willows. A report discloses the fact that agriculture can play an important role in the development of Swedish energy system in the future. The most profitable crops for
The online information landscape is a site for contested ideas, but it is also a marketplace; under the platform economy, every engagement has monetary value. This setup encourages content creators to circulate the kinds of material most likely to capture attention, even if it is incendiary. Central to this business model are the algorithmic recommendation systems, which are designed to monetize a
Microbial contamination in coastal environments and groundwater is explored within this thesis, focusing onfecal contamination from anthropogenic sources and microbial community dynamics. The spread andpersistence of microbial contaminants in complex aquatic environments with multiple intermittent and pointsources of contamination, was studied in order to lay a groundwork for developing more robus
The paper presents a new global modeling tool, Stratospheric Chemical Transport Model 2. It has been developed for effective three-dimensional multiyear stratospheric chemistry studies, featuring an extensive chemistry scheme, heterogeneous processing on sulfate aerosols, and some polar stratospheric cloud processes. The transport algorithm maintains sub-grid-scale distributions and connects verti
