Traditionally tourists are treated as passive media consumers but this chapter departs from a performance perspective emphasizing tourists’ active role. This chapter deals with how popular music affects tourists’ experiences in destinations by exploring the performance of place-making practices by tourists as they engage with music. The performance perspective is complemented with a ritual perspec
Objective: To study the difference in incidence and risk of fragility fractures between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients followed up early in the disease and the general population in Sweden; and the fracture risk changes in RA patients diagnosed in the 1990s and 2000s because of earlier, more potent pharmacological treatment in the later period. Method: Patients with early RA were recruited fro
Appropriate evaluation and experimental design are fundamental for empirical sciences, particularly in data-driven fields. Due to the successes in computational modeling of languages, for instance, research outcomes are having an increasingly immediate impact on end users. As the gap in adoption by end users decreases, the need increases to ensure that tools and models developed by the research co
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to empirically identify and describe customer experience of unattended delivery services in e-grocery retail, and suggest propositions for further research and development of the research area.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory research is based on a series of qualitative interviews to explore customer experience of unattended grocery delivery services.
We here describe the current knowledge about the radiologic and histologic pulmonary features of covid-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, and present lung histology from a case with fatal disease. Initial findings on computed tomography (CT) typically include peripheral multifocal bilateral ground-glass opacities, and correspondingly microscopic alveolar edema. This is followed by peripheral consolidations
In recent years, the manipulation of Fano resonances in the time domain has unlocked deep insights into a broad spectrum of systems' coherent dynamics. Here, inelastic scattering of light with coherent acoustic phonons is harnessed to achieve complex Fano resonances. The sudden change of phonon momentum during reflection leads to a transition from anti-Stokes to Stokes light scattering, producing
Introduction: The aims were to investigate 1) the frequency of nonsurgical retreatment, root-end surgery, extraction, and further restorative treatment during a follow-up of 10–11 years after root filling and compare the frequencies according to tooth group and type of coronal restoration and 2) the timing of nonsurgical retreatment, root-end surgery, and extraction. Methods: Data were collected f
Background: The global incidence of stroke is on the rise, primarily due to an increase in the aging population and the prevalence of vascular risk factors among the elderly. However, stroke is a treatable condition if promptly recognized and managed effectively. To optimize stroke management, it is crucial to establish a well-prepared infrastructure comprising adequately trained physicians workin
The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide, and fatty acid composition is a major determinant of peanut oil quality. In the present study, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for nine fatty acid traits using the whole genome sequences of 160 representative Chinese peanut landraces and identified 6-1195 significant SNPs for different fatty aci
Generation Z (Gen Z) will soon become the biggest living generation and the most dominant in terms of population and economic power, making them one of the tourism industry’s fastest-growing segments and a crucial market to target. There is growing evidence that Gen Z is concerned about the environmental and social effects of their consumption and is guided by strong ethical and environmental idea
The field of oncobiology is witnessing rapid progress, with numerous ongoing studies dedicated to comprehending the intricate mechanisms underlying cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic interventions. Despite significant strides, there remains a substantial gap in fully understanding the multifaceted factors driving cancer development and trajectory. This chapter delves into the imperati
Motivated by the need for realistic, dynamically self-consistent, evolving galaxy models that avoid the complexity of full, and zoom-in, cosmological simulations, we have developed Nexus, an integral framework to create and evolve synthetic galaxies made of collisionless and gaseous components. Nexus leverages the power of publicly available, tried-and-tested packages: the stellar-dynamics, action
Evolutionary changes in geographic distribution and larval host plants may promote the rapid diversification of montane insects, but this scenario has been rarely investigated. We studied the rapid radiation of the butterfly genus Colias, which has diversified in mountain ecosystems in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas. Based on a data set of 150 nuclear protein-coding genetic loci and mitochondri
The favorable pharmacokinetics of MMC, used during intraperitoneal chemotherapy, has been reported in several studies [11-19]. A major safety issue in studies using intraperitoneal chemotherapy perfusion is the resulting systemic drug exposure. The AUCplasma is determined by the dose, the clearance, and the fraction absorbed from the peritoneal cavity. The reported mean plasma peak concentrations
This paper analyses the evolution of public support for the euro from 1990 to 2011, using a popularity function approach, focusing on the most recent period of the financial and sovereign debt crisis. Exploring a huge database of close to half a million observations, covering the 12 original euro area member countries, we find that the ongoing crisis has only marginally reduced citizens’ support f
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) tasks, such as sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation, entail a huge computational complexity when dealing with input-output maps involving the solution of nonlinear differential problems, because of the need to query expensive numerical solvers repeatedly. Projection-based reduced order models (ROMs), such as the Galerkin-reduced basis (RB) method, have been
The prospect of death influences people’s thoughts about and how they deal with their remaining time. We aimed to understand whether patients with progressive, life-limiting diseases are oriented in the past, present, or future and how they deal with temporality. We conducted 57 in-depth interviews with end-of-life patients in 10 countries using thematic analysis at three levels (i.e., locally in
Background: HIV-related stigma interventions targeting adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) are limited. When available, most of these interventions operate at a single socioecological level and target a single stigma domain, and participatory design is rare. Objective: This study aimed to explore the psychosocial support intervention needs of ALHIV from the perspectives of adolescents, caregivers,
Uppsatsen syftar till att klargöra rättsläget avseende tystnadsplikt och huruvida lojalitetsplikt och kritikträtt samspelar, samt hur sekretessbestämmelser inverkar i rättsfrågan. Med utgångspunkt i det arbetsrättsliga förhållandet mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare undersöks hur lojalitets- och tystnadsplikt samt kritikrätt påverkar arbetstagarens handlingsutrymme, vilket sätts i relation till The thesis aims to clarify the legal framework regarding confidentiality and whether the duty of loyalty and the right to criticise interact, as well as how secrecy provisions affect the legal issue. Based on the employment relationship between employer and employee, the study examines how the duty of loyalty and confidentiality, as well as the right to criticise, affect the employee’s scope of ac
