INTRODUCTIONGlobally, 20% of women who become pregnant are obese at the time of conception. The prevalence of women becoming pregnant after gastric bypass (GBP) surgery has been increasing. Little is known regarding women’s experiences of pregnancy after GBP surgery and midwives can expect to care for an increasing number of women with prior GBP surgery. Midwives play an important role in supportiIntroduction: Globally, 20% of women who become pregnant are obese at the time of conception.

This video essay explores material-discursive listenings through embodied and co-creative relationships with textile materials as non-human companions. Building on the PhD thesis Crafting Material Bodies – Exploring Co-creative Costume Processes, the essay extends the notion of ‘listening with costume’ (Østergaard 2024) toward textile materials, arguing that such listenings unfold through touch, m

This paper draws on Karen Barad’s agential realism - which understands agency asrelational rather than individually possessed (2007) - to examine how costumes canact as active hosts capable of creating temporary, sensorial, and co-constitutedcollectives; tactile agents that co-create relational bodies. Central to this approachis embracing the differences bodies bring - their varied orientations, h

Blood plasma separation is a fundamental step in point-of-care diagnostics and testing. However, conventional centrifugation relies on bulky equipment and multiple manual handling, while most microfluidic methods struggle to achieve high purity, high throughput, and high plasma yield simultaneously. In this study, we demonstrate a high-performance acoustofluidic plasma separation device satisfying

I det här kapitlet diskuterar vi samband mellan utbildning av lärare i matematik i Sverige och forskning, något som berör både lärarutbildare och lärarstudenter samt deras kommande elever. Forskning om lärarutbildning behövs bland annat för att kunna förändra och utveckla lärarutbildningen och att få veta hur den faktiskt fungerar. Forskning i lärarutbildning krävs för att säkra kvalitet och för a

INTRODUCTION: Meaningful validation of artificial intelligence for medical image interpretation requires comparison against human expert performance, yet multi-rater frameworks establishing such comparisons remain uncommon.METHODS: We developed and applied a consensus framework using nine clinicians who independently segmented the femoral nerve on 100 ultrasound images, yielding 900 annotations an

Just north of Varberg’s city centre, the small town of Getakärrwas established in the early Middle Ages. Getakärr wasone of Varberg’s predecessors and existed until 1578 whenit lost its privileges. A large infrastructure project—a newtrain station as well as a railroad tunnel in the old, nowinfilled, harbour outside Getakärr—called for archaeologicalexcavations to be conducted between 2019 and 202

The EU Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) aims to shift forest ecosystems towards increased naturalness, with long-term benefits for biodiversity. Here we model two scenarios of restoration in a southern Swedish production forest landscape, combining the re-establishment of forest habitat types with management practices of reduced intensity. We analyze temporal developments in key biodiversity in

In this work, an optimisation algorithm is employed to calibrate a quasi-brittle phase-field cohesive zone model against notched three-point bending experiments on bovine cortical bone using the force vs crack mouth opening displacement data. Calibration is performed both for individual specimens, to quantify parameter variability, and for groups of specimens from the same subject and crack propag

The growth of e-commerce has transformed consumer shopping patterns and reshaped travel behaviour, yet knowledge is limited regarding how different delivery options interact with individual mobility in everyday life. This study analysed how delivery options, trip characteristics, and socio-demographic and spatial factors relate to e-commerce activity travel and the degree of consumer involvement i

Introduction: Same-day discharge after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing, but the optimal anaesthetic technique for outpatient pathways remains uncertain. Neuraxial anaesthesia is widely recommended based on observational evidence, whereas fast-track programmes using short-acting total intravenous anaesthesia may facilitate early mobilisation and

Background: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications including sequencing rely on thermostable DNA polymerases and their ability to generate accurate amplicons. Polymerization errors may hinder the detection of low-level DNA variants such as mutations in clinical samples or DNA from minor contributors in crime scene traces with DNA from multiple individuals. Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers a

We present a topology optimization framework for anisotropic elastoplastic structures based on a new deformation plasticity formulation derived directly from Hill’s yield criterion. Conventional incremental elastoplastic approaches in topology optimization, while accurate, are computationally demanding due to their path-dependent nature and the need to store internal variables over multiple load s
