Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To evaluate the benefits and harms of olfactory stimulation with different odorants in the NICU for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants.

Aims/hypothesis: The temporal suppression of insulin clearance after glucose ingestion is a key determinant of glucose tolerance for people without type 2 diabetes. Whether similar adaptations are observed after the ingestion of a mixed-macronutrient meal is unclear. Methods: In a secondary analysis of data derived from two randomised, controlled trials, we studied the temporal responses of insuli

Something that all Nordic countries have in common is that journalistic work, popular culture phenomena and public debates resulting in subsequent political initiatives have served as driving forces in the development of academic research on the Holocaust. It is also clear that the field is heavily politicized, imbued with moral questions and highly diversified.The memories of the Holocaust have i

The complexity and dynamicity of microservice architectures in cloud environments present substantial challenges to the reliability and availability of the services built on these architectures. Therefore, effective anomaly detection is crucial to prevent impending failures and resolve them promptly.

The interaction between a low angle grain boundary in front of a crack tip and the emerging plasticity from the tip of a microstructurally short edge crack subjected to fatigue loading has been studied. The modeling rests solely on discrete dislocations, were the geometry is described by dislocation dipole elements in a boundary element approach and the plasticity, restricted to one slip plane, to

Short fatigue cracks are known to have a growth behaviour different from that of long cracks, the latter well predicted by linear elastic fracture mechanics. Short cracks can grow at high rates at load levels well below the threshold value for long cracks, before entering into the long crack region, or arrest and become nonpropagating cracks. The growth behaviour of short cracks is strongly influe

Grandparents’ involvement in their adult children’s families has increased in recent decades, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren. This ‘new army of proxy parents’ calls for the need to critically analyse grandparental care. Drawing on a study on intergenerational care in Sweden, involving grandparents, adult children and grandchildren (63 interviewees including 28 graGrandparents’ involvement in their adult children’s families has increased in recent decades, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren. This ‘new army of proxy parents’ calls for the need to critically analyse grandparental care.

It is well known that the behaviour of short cracks differs from that of long cracks due to the relatively large plastic zone and strong influence from the surrounding microstructure, and for very low growth rates, it is important to account for discrete dislocations within the material. In this study, a discrete dislocation model is presented for the study of the growth behaviour of a short edge

Neuroblastoma exhibits two cellular phenotypes: therapy-sensitive adrenergic (ADRN) and therapy-resistant mesenchymal (MES). To understand treatment response, it is important to elucidate how these phenotypes impact the dynamics of cancer cell populations and whether they represent distinct cell types or dynamic cell states. Here, we use an integrated experimental and mathematical modeling approac

Background: High breast density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and decreases the sensitivity of mammography. This systematic review synthesizes the international clinical guidelines and the evidence base for screening and supplemental screening recommendations in women with dense breasts. Methods: A systematic search of CINHAL, Embase, and Medline databases was performed in August

Understanding wildlife stakeholders is vital in mitigating the risk for inertia in the implementation of management and illegal activities, e.g., poaching. We used a unique set of questionnaire data of stakeholders in Sweden (n = 8728) comprising birdwatchers, hunters, farmers, and the general public, to analyze evaluations of geese, beliefs about goose management at multiple levels, and acceptanc

This chapter reflects on the need for a decolonial turn in Sweden’s foreign policy. The growing ecological emergencies that we are faced with call on us to recognise and address quite profound global inequities, many of which are rooted in histories of European colonialism. In a sprawling conversation about the coloniality of the global economy and Sweden’s role in it, the chapter addresses such t

A people-centred approach for designing large-scale built-up spaces necessitates systematic anticipation of user’s embodied visuo-locomotive experience from the viewpoint of human-environment interaction factors pertaining to aspects such as navigation, wayfinding, usability. In this context, we develop a behaviour-based visuo-locomotive complexity model that functions as a key correlate of cognit

Climate modeling suggests that achieving international climate goals requires a reduction in current CO2 emissions by over 90%, with any remaining emissions to be addressed through carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions. Sixteen CDR strategies are evaluated by integrating technical potential, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, along with sequestration permanence. This evaluation

Patients with aortic root abscesses experience increased morbidity and mortality compared to those without abscess in aortic valve infective endocarditis. The superior intervention for patients with aortic root abscess is not determined. This research investigates the degree to which increased morbidity and mortality of aortic root abscess, and to describe perioperative characteristics and outcome
