Fueled by rapid advancements and widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how Design Thinking (DT) is applied in entrepreneurship. While DT is a well-established human-centered innovation framework, the integration of AI in its practical application, along with the emerging challenges and adaptive strategies, remains underexplored. To address this gap, a qualitative resear

New York City's transportation infrastructure plays a critical role in shaping economic growth, housing accessibility, and community development. Challenges like congestion, inequitable transit access, and inefficient zoning regulations hinder sustainable urban growth as the city evolves. Last serving passengers in 1924, the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch remains one of New York City's few freigh

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is frequently used in the treatment of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), although its impact on long-term prognosis and symptom relief remains debated. Among patients undergoing revascularisation with PCI, data on clinical outcomes following drug-coated balloon (DCB) based PCI in unselected patient populations is limited, and the comparative effe

Mutations in MLC1 cause megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), a rare form of leukodystrophy characterized by macrocephaly, epilepsy, spasticity, and slow mental deterioration. Genetic studies of MLC are lacking from many parts of the world, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Genomic DNA was extracted for 67 leukodystrophic patients from 43 Sudanese families. Mutations we

This paper is designed to examine the validity of the CAPM model in the emerging markets. I took the Indian market to be the case in which we examine the applicability of this model and therefore I decided to perform the study on one of the biggest Indian markets; Bombay Stock Exchange. The SENSEX30 was chosen as the examined index and I performed the study on the 28 listed companies in the market

“I’m different all the time” – A qualitative study of young people’s roles and collective identity formation in different parts of Gothenburg The purpose of this study was to compare young people’s view of their neighborhoods, and what significance the residential area has for their collective identity formation. Young people living in a residential area with a low proportion of native Swedes, lo

The appearance anxiety phenomenon has become increasingly prevalent in Chinese society, especially among females. This research critically examines the Chinese social media trend “Refusing Appearance Anxiety” (“拒绝容貌焦虑”)initiated by female bloggers who are opposing the issue. The primary goal of this study is to reflect on how Chinese females negotiate with the normative discourse around body image

Thesis Purpose: This study explores the major drivers and barriers to eco-innovation in Scandinavian and Finnish furniture companies, examining the influence of company size and age. The findings benefit stakeholders including businesses, policymakers, professionals, investors, and consumers. Theoretical Perspective: This study’s theoretical framework was developed through an exploration of eco-in

The building sector contributes to one-fifth of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and consumes 40 % of the final energy consumption. To achieve the climate goals set by the Swedish government, the building sector requires rapid development to reduce its climate impact. The climate impact of buildings comes from two types of energy throughout the building's lifecycle: operational an

Worldwide, disasters and climate change pose a serious risk to sustainable urban development, resulting in escalating human and economic costs. Consequently, city authorities and other urban actors face the challenge of integrating risk reduction and adaptation strategies into their work, although related knowledge and expertise are still scarce. Cities, Disaster Risk and Adaptation explores ways

Aim: To study the relationship between hyperglycaemia and the onset/progression of retinopathy, blindness/moderate visual impairment or death, as well as the impact of improved glycaemic control on retinopathy in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Methods: Between January 1990 and October 1995 a total of 3,220 diabetic patients were enrolled in a programme for control

We investigated the relationship between nitric oxide (NO) and Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) in the gill of anadromous Atlantic salmon. Cells containing NO-producing enzymes were revealed by means of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) immunocytochemistry and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPHd) histochernistry, which can be used as an indicator of NOS activity, i.e. NO production. Antibo

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for the assessment of contractile and noncontractile components of human skeletal muscle is described, and the inter-rater and intra-rater test-retest reliability for repeated measurements from the same MR image are examined. Twenty cross-sectional MR images from the right lower leg were obtained from 30 healthy young men and women (mean age 24.1 years,

A novel disposable high-density matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) target plate made either from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC) is presented where thousands (1200-1600) of samples can be deposited and subsequently, analyzed by MALDI-time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. Good reproducibility, was obtained across the plate regardless of position on the target

Introduction: Depression is frequent in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. However, epidemiological data about the potential increase in risk are lacking. This study compares the rate of doctor-diagnosed depression in a well defined cohort of AS patients to the general population seeking care. Methods: The Skane Healthcare Register comprises healthcare data of each resident in Region Skane, Swe

Pheromone-based behaviours are crucial in animals from insects to mammals, and reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences. However, the genetic mechanisms by which pheromone signals change during the evolution of new species are largely unknown. In the sexual communication system of moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera), females emit a species-specific pheromone blend that attracts male

Background No comprehensive systematic review of the accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement methods using renal inulin clearance as reference has been published. Study Design Systematic review with meta-analysis of cross-sectional diagnostic studies. Setting & Population Published original studies and systematic reviews in any population. Selection Criteria for Studies Index

The performance of a 5' nuclease real-time PCR assay was studied to optimize an automated method of detection of preenriched Salmonella enterica cells in buffered peptone water (BPW). The concentrations and interactions of the PCR reagents were evaluated on the basis of two detection responses, the threshold cycle (C(T)) and the fluorescence intensity by a normalized reporter value (DeltaR(n)).
