In this article, we explore the production of socio-cultural values around blue-green solutions (BGS) through the perspective of care. We explore how values and preferences are formed through the complexity of everyday life engagements in a BGS environment. The data come from a questionnaire answered by 328 households in the neighborhood of Augustenborg in Malmö, Sweden. The questionnaire collects
Purpose: There is a growing literature on the importance of cultural adaptation of research-supported social work interventions. Few studies have however offered systematic methods for the a priori assessment of intervention fit in a new context. The current study explores the use of measurement invariance analyses to help identify whether key theoretical constructs in an intervention’s theory of
Background: With the availability of a wrist-worn device capable of acquiring two ECG leads with a single touch, synthesis of the 12-lead ECG may be accomplished to facilitate clinical interpretation. Objective: This study proposes an echo state network (ESN) for synthesizing the 12-lead ECG from two leads simultaneously acquired using a wrist-worn device. Methods: The wrist-worn device, equipped
Study region: Lake Vänern, the largest lake in the European Union, located in Sweden. Study focus: The study aimed to develop a spatially complete and temporally continuous lake surface water temperature (LSWT) dataset by fusing satellite remote sensing data with reanalysis products. Five satellite-derived LSWT products, including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), were eva
Effluent wastewater contains organic micropollutants (OMPs) that harm aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) need to expand their facilities with advanced water treatment technologies. Water scarcity and improved effluent quality is encouraging the reuse of treated effluent. This study thus has a dual purpose: first, to evaluate OMP removal using two technique combinati
Although high-level evidence is currently lacking, noninferiority randomised controlled trials in predefined risk groups in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer are under way to scientifically prove the safety of urinary biomarker-guided follow-up. To facilitate recommendations for clinical use, it is essential to comply with the EU certification for in vitro diagnostics and to demonstrate cost effe
A search is reported for long-lived dark photons with masses between 0.1 GeV and 15 GeV, from exotic decays of Higgs bosons produced via vector-boson-fusion. Events that contain displaced collimated Standard Model fermions reconstructed in the calorimeter or muon spectrometer are probed. This search uses the full LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) data sample collected in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV,
Objective: To validate the ISGPS definition and grading system of PPAP after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Summary Background Data: In 2022, the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) defined post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) and recommended a prospective validation of its diagnostic criteria and grading system. Methods: This was a prospective, international, multicente
The Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) has employed assassinations and proxy violence as tools of statecraft. Dissidents in exile have been killed, targeted, or systematically threatened, while Israeli-linked entities across Europe have faced repeated attacks. In recent years, Tehran has increasingly outsourced these operations to state-linked criminal intermediaries. This paper analyzes Iran’s approa
Robots operating in real-world settings must manage task variability, environmental uncertainty, and failures during execution. This thesis presents a unified framework for building self-reliant robotic systems by integrating symbolic planning, reinforcement learning, behavior trees (BTs), and vision-language models (VLMs).At the core of the approach is an interpretable policy representation based
PURPOSE Childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) survivors of cancer are at risk of nephrotoxicity. Surveillance guidelines are important for timely diagnosis and treatment of these survivors, which could slow the progression to higher stages of kidney dysfunction. METHODS The International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group established a multidisciplinary panel of
This study examines whether unstructured and structured activities interact in their association with delinquency and cannabis use. We hypothesize that unstructured activities are more strongly associated with delinquency and cannabis use for those who are less engaged in structured activities. Data are drawn from three nationally representative self-report studies conducted between 2005 and 2011
BACKGROUND: Drug-coated devices are widely used to reduce restenosis after lower limb revascularisation in patients with peripheral artery disease, but their effect on patient-centred outcomes remains unclear. We assessed the effect of paclitaxel-coated devices on clinically important outcomes in patients with intermittent claudication undergoing infrainguinal endovascular revascularisation.METHOD
Decarbonising the global housing stock is imperative for reaching climate change targets. In the United Kingdom, hydrogen is currently being tested as a replacement fuel for natural gas, which could be used to supply low-carbon energy to parts of the country. Transitioning the residential sector towards a net-zero future will call for an inclusive understanding of consumer preferences for emerging
ObjectiveTo evaluate if adding esketamine and clonidine has positive effects on postoperative pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and quality of recovery in patients who are at high risk for postoperative pain.DesignPatient- and assessor-blinded, superiority, randomised controlled trial.SettingSingle centre between 2022 and 2024.Patients125 adult patients, ASA I – II, planned for elective lap
Objective: To estimate the effect on healthcare resource use after introducing the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria (WHO-2013) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to former criteria in Sweden (SWE-GDM). Design: A cost-analysis alongside the Changing Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes (CDC4G) randomised controlled trial. Setting: Sweden, with risk-factor based sc
In this research, a straightforward and effective preconcentration technique was developed by integrating three-phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) with high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with a photodiode array detector and mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD/MS) for the simultaneous extraction and quantification of trace levels of tamoxifen (Tam) and clomiphene (Clom)
A search for heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos is performed with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, using the (Formula Presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula Presented) collected during Run 2. This search targets (Formula Presented) production, in which both top quarks decay into a bottom quark and a (Formula Presented) boson, where one of the (Formula Presen
Background: Prolonged time to surgery (TTS) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) may enable malnourished oesophageal cancer patients' nutritional status to recover better, possibly improving outcomes with fewer complications and better overall survival (OS) after oesophagectomy. Methods: This is a substudy within a multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing outcomes in patients with o
