Child abuse, including physical, sexual, or emotional violence or neglect, is a global problem with serious and long-term consequences for children. Even though child abuse is prohibited in Denmark, the estimated number of physically and sexually abused children is relatively high, whereas the annual number of forensically examined children is low. We present the Danish practice and legal foundati
Diagnosing drowning as a cause of death remains complex in forensic pathology, demanding integration of autopsy findings, contextual evidence, and case-specific variables. This study systematically reviews literature on lung weights in adult drowning cases, analyzing data from 20 studies to evaluate lung weight as an evidentiary factor in the diagnosis of drowning deaths. Additionally, this study
BACKGROUND: Child Abuse and Neglect (CAN) is a severe threat to children's health and well-being worldwide. Since oral and dental health are indicators of general health, dentists and dental hygienists are in a favorable position to identify potential cases of CAN.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the caries experience in primary and permanent dentition in children where physical abuse was
INTRODUCTION: Maternal blood pressure (BP) is crucial for the health of both mother and fetus, with long-term implications for the child's health. Studies exploring the link between perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy often yield inconsistent results, frequently focusing on a single BP measurement rather than longitudinal measurements. This study chara
Allmänbefolkningen exponeras dagligen för ett flertal organiska miljöföroreningar via exempelvis livsmedel, produkter och andra material. Till dessa hör bl a bekämpningsmedel och perfluorerade ämnen (PFAS) i livsmedel, ftalater i plastmaterial och kosmetika, flamskyddsmedel i stoppade möbler och byggnadsmaterial samt polyaromatiska kolväten (PAH) från fordonsavgaser. Genom analys av exponeringsbio
Pathogenic variants of human CDC14A (cell division cycle 14A) are associated either with nonsyndromic deafness DFNB32 or HIIMS, hearing impairment infertile male syndrome. The 623-residue CDC14A protein has two globular domains (residues 17-152 and 217-325) and a 278-residue C-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR). To date, 16 recessive variants of human CDC14A are associated with hearing
In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the dense desmoplastic stroma and insufficient infiltrating T cells represent a significant barrier to effective immunotherapy. In this phase I, dose-escalation study, previously registered at the Dutch Trial Register and later on at ClinicalTrial (NCT05650918), we administer an autologous dendritic cell (DC) vaccine (MesoPher) with an agonistic CD40-spe
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next-generation observatory in the field of very-high-energy (20 GeV to 300 TeV) gamma-ray astroparticle physics. The traditional approach to data analysis in this field is to apply quality cuts, optimized using Monte Carlo simulations, on the data acquired to maximize sensitivity. Subsequent steps of the analysis typically use the surviving events t
This essay introduces four principles of nationalist historical narration by using the narrative strategies of the political parties the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party as examples. These narrative strategies follow the following four principles: 1. Nationalists cannot invent historical narratives solely out of figments of their imaginations. The Sweden Democrats, for example, can uThis essay introduces four principles of nationalist historical narration by using the narrative strategies of the political parties the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party as examples.

Conducting digital research on the far-right continuum (covering a broad array of actors further to the right from what is generally considered the mainstream right), evokes several serious ethical challenges. This becomes particularly poignant in cases whose research subjects hold illiberal, extreme, and potentially hostile views toward the researcher. In this chapter, we critically reflect on th
To prepare students for addressing wicked problems such as climate change and inequality, higher education must foster systemic and interdisciplinary thinking. We developed a flexible, interactive workshop grounded in sustainability goals and transitions theory to promote abductive reasoning across disciplines. Using cases on food waste, fashion, and e-waste, the workshop was tested in four divers
Evidence-based forensic research necessitates the creation of large and valid datasets. However, in our experience many departments face a challenge in how to extract this data from electronically archived records. This technical note describes a custom script created in the Python programming language. The program can extract data on decedent sex, age, body height, body weight, organ weight, orga
Biogenic ice-nucleating particles (INPs) can significantly impact mixed-phase clouds by enhancing precipitation and reducing albedo. As Arctic sea ice diminishes, the exposure of open ocean may increase aerosolization rates of marine bioaerosols and INPs. We investigated INP concentrations and microbial communities in ambient marine air, sea bulk water (SBW), and sea surface microlayer (SML) along
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the future observatory for ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Each telescope will provide a snapshot of gamma-ray induced particle showers by capturing the induced Cherenkov emission at ground level. The simulation of such events provides camera images that can be used as training data for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to differenti
Probabilistic models of imposed loads require adjustments to reflect current knowledge and experience. To do so, relevant data about their spatial and temporal variability must be collected. Structural Health Monitoring allows to estimate loads acting on bridges by measuring the relevant strains or deflections. Adapting this approach to buildings is not straightforward due to the increased complex
