It traces key initiatives, frameworks and tools developing from the launch of EUvsDisinfo in 2015, an unprecedented attempt to addr
AimEnvironmental factors such as air pollution have been linked to cognitive function decline. Indoor moldy odor, a common air quality issue, may exacerbate cognitive deterioration in older adults via behavioral and physiological mechanisms. This study systematically examined the association between indoor moldy odor exposure and cognitive function among older adults in China.MethodsData were obta
The 2026 Israel–US war against Iran exposed significant weaknesses in the Islamic Republic’s intelligence, counterintelligence, air-defence, and command-and-control systems, while leaving much of its asymmetric coercive capacity intact. Missiles, proxy networks, cyber operations, covert procurement, hostage diplomacy, and transnational repression therefore remain central instruments of regime secu
This thesis examines how Sustainable Development has operated in the environmental jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of India as a distributional mechanism – one that allocates environmental costs and developmental benefits along the existing lines of social and economic inequality. Drawing on a distributive analysis of about one hundred cases decided between 1996 and 2024 across five theatres of
Understanding the physicochemical properties of fly ash from industrial and municipal solid waste incineration is essential for its safe and efficient utilization. This study investigated the particle size distribution and elemental size partitioning in fly ash aerosols from a waste-to-energy (WtE) facility with grate-fired boilers, along with the composition of boiler deposits and ash collected i
This article advances understanding of internal communication in hybrid organizations by examining how informal communication practices are reconfigured across digital and physical contexts. It addresses two research questions: (1) how managers and coworkers experience informal communication in hybrid settings and changes in its conditions, and (2) what new forms of informal communication emerge.T
AimSwedish healthcare staff are obliged to immediately report suspected child maltreatment (CM) to child protection services (CPS), but often fail this duty. The use of screening instruments in EDs increases detection of adults with risk factors for CM. Such instruments have previously not been available in Sweden. The aim of the present study was to pilot test a Swedish version of the Dutch ‘chil
The aim of the study was to explore the meaning attributed by specialist ambulance nurses to the process of establishing and maintaining a caring relationship in the prehospital context.BackgroundPrevious studies suggest that some patients may feel overlooked or not taken seriously in encounters with the ambulance service. Even brief caring relationships in prehospital care can support well-being,
Mot bakgrund av ett mer osäkert geopolitiskt omvärldsläge, ökad digitalisering och klimatrelaterade risker har frågor om energisystemens försörjningsberedskap fått ökad betydelse. Fjärrvärme utgör en samhällskritisk funktion av svensk energiförsörjning och spelar en central roll i klimatomställningen, samtidigt som systemen präglas av tekniska beroenden, komplexa leverantörskedjor och organisatoriAgainst the backdrop of an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment, growing digitalization, and climate-related risks, issues concerning the security of energy supply have gained greater importance. District heating constitutes a critical societal function within Sweden’s energy system and plays a central role in the climate transition. At the same time, district heating systems are charac
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer characterized by the unregulated proliferation of immature myeloblasts. Gene mutations have been shown to have a large effect on pathogenesis, inter-tumour heterogeneity and clinical outcomes in AML1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7–8; however, the role of epigenetic alterations in these respects has been investigated less extensively. Here we use ATAC-
Background and Objectives: Psychosocial interventions support informal caregivers of people with dementia, but their impact on anticipatory grief and related health outcomes remains unclear. This review examines the effectiveness of different psychosocial approaches in addressing these outcomes.Research Design and Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guide
Pharbitis nil (L.) Choisy is a traditional medicinal plant exhibiting broad-spectrum pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, renoprotective, and laxative effects; insecticidal activity; and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and hepatoprotective actions. In this study, 11 compounds were isolated from the seeds of the plant and structurally characterized. These inc
Background: The aim was to evaluate bias and precision for 177Lu-activity-quantification using window-based scatter compensation in a ring-configured CZT gamma camera (StarGuide™, GE HealthCare). This paper extends a previous study by applying modified scatter compensation (MSC) methods introduced with the StarGuidePlus upgrade. The modified methods account for contamination of scatter windows by
Background: Meningioma, the most prevalent brain tumor in adults, is predominantly benign and often treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery, generally with positive treatment outcomes. Radiotherapy can be administered using either conventional radiotherapy (CRT) or proton beam therapy (PBT). The treatment can cause chronic symptoms such as headache, fatigue, and neurocognitive impairments that ca
Abstract – Introduction: Hypochondriasis is a prevalent psychiatric condition associated with substantial individual suffering and healthcare utilization. Despite its clinical importance, little is known about its etiology, and the extent to which familial and genetic factors contribute to its development remains unclear. Methods: In this population-based cohort study, we identified 5, 809, 325 in
