Esta contribución a la Primera Conferencia Internacional sobre la Transición hacia la no proliferación de Combustibles Fósiles se centra en el pilar temático 3, relativo al avance de la cooperación internacional y la diplomacia climática. La Iniciativa del Tratado de No Proliferación de Combustibles Fósiles (en adelante, Iniciativa FFNPT, por sus siglas en inglés) representa una oportunidad para a
We derive an explicit link between Gaussian Markov random fields on metric graphs and graphical models, and in particular show that a Markov random field restricted to the vertices of the graph is, under mild regularity conditions, a Gaussian graphical model. This graphical model has a distribution which is faithful to its pairwise independence graph, that coincides with the neighbor structure of
The imaging capabilities of an in-house X-ray setup for micro computed tomography, consisting of a photon-counting detector and a liquid target source, are reported here. The effect of the finite X-ray source spot size on the image resolution is measured using the slanted edge method at different sample-to-detector distances, and the energy response of the detector is probed using clinically relev
This study investigates how decision makers at the fire service responds to different types of information and how it can enhance fire service operations during incidents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 47 incident commanders from three countries (Sweden, Finland and USA) to assess the influence of pre-planned, real-time, and predictive information on decision-making. The results i
Ultralow-cross-linked microgels serve as powerful model systems for investigating structure–rheology relationships in soft colloidal suspensions. Using precipitation polymerization, we obtain both self-cross-linked microgels with a weakly cross-linked core, surrounded by an ultrasoft corona (ULC), and regular cross-linked (RC) microgels. ULC microgel suspensions exhibit distinctive rheological res
Background The distal forearm fracture is the most common fracture in children. To allocate health care resources and evaluate if prevention strategies have been successful, it is essential to monitor changes in the epidemiology of common fractures. Methods Our hospital serves a city in which year 2006 included 276,244 inhabitants (49,664 <17 years of age). Through the hospital archives, we identi
Background: Dementia is a growing public health concern, and although diet is a modifiable potential risk factor, the role of free sugar intake remains unclear. Excess sugar has been linked to metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction, both associated with cognitive decline, but evidence regarding specific sugar sources is limited. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the associations betwee
Background and aims: We examined whether the excess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among adults with steatotic liver disease (SLD) subtypes could be reduced or eliminated through joint control of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Methods and results: This prospective cohort study included 291,995 participants f
"Civilizing Terrains" was developed as part of Arkitekturens Dokumenta (Copenhagen, European Capital of Culture 1996), exploring the city through a series of spatial interventions based on UTM coordinates. The project established sixteen marked points across Copenhagen using aluminium crosses placed in urban and landscape conditions. Each point acted as a trigger for interaction, inviting passers-
This article analyzes how labour relations in the Swedish cleaning industry were affected by the commercialization of domestic cleaning in 2007. It theorizes commercialized domestic cleaning as a specific labour regime (Baglioni et al, 2022) and, based on ethnography, identifies several inherent attributes of domestic cleaning – the labour-intensive nature of work, that the work takes place in pri
Recognizing the novel ways in which queer and feminist struggles for change unfold today, Spaces, Bodies, Revolts: Emerging Digital Cultures, Feminist Struggles, and Global Change explores contemporary protest movements and the ambivalent nature of digital cultures carrying them forward. While feminist and LGBTI+ struggles for rights, livability, dignity and safety have always existed, what is new
Bacteria encode diverse defence systems, including restriction-modification and CRISPR-Cas, that cleave nucleic acid to protect against phage infection. Bioinformatic analyses demonstrate that many recently identified antiphage defence operons comprise a nuclease and NTPase protein, suggesting that additional nucleic acid-targeting systems remain to be understood. Here we develop large-scale compa
In this work we introduce the concept of natural ageing via precipitation arising from eutectic cell structure (PEC-ageing). Natural age-strengthening in grey cast iron at room temperature is long recognised yet still poorly understood, despite its beneficial effect on tensile strength and machinability. We investigate its underlying mechanisms by comparing fresh and naturally aged industrial grey
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate quantitative and qualitative cell and tissue properties of human articular cartilage using phase-contrast synchrotron microtomography to determine what biological information can be obtained in comparison to traditional histopathology.DESIGN: Human knee cartilage from 49 deceased donors without known osteoarthritis (ages 18-85 years, 25 females and 24 males) and 4 patients u
At the turn of the twentieth century, infant- and child mortality declined rapidly in many industrializing societies. In Sweden, this decline coincided with industrialization and urbanization, as well as a period of growing social disparities in childhood mortality. The inequality in child survival was connected to a range of factors, including access to water- and sanitation, housing conditions,
