This chapter draws on recent literature to outline the trajectory of China’s national development in the fields of gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), as well as its global engagement in these fields. By highlighting how Chinese national and global development agendas speak to and depart from each other, it attempts to identify potential synergies and contradictio

EHLSA har visat att en ökad kraftsamling kring källsorterat avlopp, etableringen av ett innovationsekosystem, och systemdemonstratorer tillsammans kan, om detgörs på rätt sätt, skapa en katalysator för omställningen från linjärt till cirkulärt VA. Dagens omställningssystem fungerar långt ifrån optimalt och syntesen föreslår fyra huvudsakliga utvecklingspunkter:• Gå från ett innovationsekosystem ti

There is a notable lack of resilience-focused research grounded in the perspectives of children currently in foster care. Therefore, the present study explored resilience processes through children’s own accounts, guided by two research questions: (1) How do children in foster care describe themselves, their relationships and their different important contexts? (2) How do children cope with the sp

Background: Markov models are models used to describe movement of individuals between states. In medicine, Markov models are used to describe, for example, disease progression and the effects of interventions on such progression. The models can further be used to identify medical risk groups and aid clinicians in clinical decision making. Although accurate individual predictions are crucial for ut

Covariate modeling provides individual predictions of outcomes by disease progression models. Current methodology for mapping covariates onto model parameters is limited by predefined parametric functions which can result in inadequate covariate selection and biased predictions by the final model. Furthermore, present methodology scales poorly to high-dimensional data due to combinatorial limitati

A search for pair production of vector-like leptons coupling to first- and second-generation Standard Model leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events are categorised depending on the flavour and multiplicity

A measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions, Rτ/e = B(W → τν)/B(W → eν), is performed using a sample of W bosons originating from top-quark decays to final states containing τ-leptons or electrons. This measurement uses pp collisions at s = 13 TeV, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during Run 2, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The W → τ

Abstract: Gender inequality is to some extent depending on subconscious gender bias, that is, automatic associations that might mis-favour women in academia. The extent to which gender bias in relation to career choices is present in the population has been investigated during many years in an American-based web project but have not yet been investigated among teachers at LTH. In this study, we le

Three phases of archaeological investigations have been conducted in the area of the City Museum of Novi Sad at the Petrovaradin Fortress. In this study, we summarize the results of geoarchaeological research carried out during the third phase of excavations inside the museum building. The investigated area covered 27 m2. The approximately 0.60 m thick loessic sequence offers a unique opportunity

In 1880 Serhiy A. Podolynsky (1850–1891) described the human economy as a metabolic flow of energy and was later praised for it by ecologist Vladimir Vernadsky, whereas his work encountered strong criticism by Friedrich Engels. However, the notes taken by Karl Marx were rather neutral in tone. In this article, we use primary sources in Ukrainian and Russian, including Vernadsky’s diaries and corre

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly used for construction of multi-storey buildings. However, ensuring satisfactory vibro-acoustic performance, particularly in the low-frequency range (typically below 200 Hz), remains a significant challenge, often necessitating add-on solutions such as floating floors. In this study, the aim was to investigate how vibration levels for CLT panels can be r

Diffuse nitrate pollution remains a persistent threat to drinking-water resources, yet current predictive frameworks rarely capture how the spatial composition (land-cover fractions) and configuration (landscape fragmentation) of land systems jointly modulate leaching. This study presents a novel multiscale framework integrating hydro-climatic, soil and anthropogenic predictors with land-cover fra

Mental imagery allows us to simulate events and experiences and plays a crucial role in language comprehension. Vividness, defined as the subjective richness and clarity of these simulations, varies across individuals and contexts. Whether mental imagery vividness decreases when processing in a non-native (L2) compared to a native (L1) language remains debated (Montero-Melis et al., 2020). Reducti

Astrocytes play a crucial role in the onset and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal disorder marked by the degeneration of motor neurons (MNs) in the central nervous system. Although astrocytes in ALS are known to be toxic to MNs, the pathological changes leading to their neurotoxic phenotype remain poorly understood. In this study, we generated human astrocytes from induce

Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
