Accurately simulating soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is essential for carbon-related assessments. Process-oriented SOC models employ temperature (f(T)) and soil moisture (f(W)) response functions derived from specific conditions to simulate SOC responses to climate change, yet are widely applied in regional and global-scale studies. How these functions affect regional SOC simulations remains u

Ulva rigida is a widely available marine algae representing a valuable biomass from which natural photosensitizers (chlorophylls) can be obtained in an environmentally friendly manner using a green microwave-assisted extraction technique. If properly loaded in biocompatible nanoformulations, such highly hydrophobic chlorophylls with photosensitizing activity may constitute effective drugs useful i

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the lessons learned from implementing a procedure of resuscitation and stabilization with an intact umbilical cord for preterm and term infants requiring resuscitation or stabilization during emergency caesarean sections. Methods: Data were collected by two focus group discussions and one individual interview. Participants were members of imp

Interest in the subject of umbilical cord clamping is long-standing. New evidence reveals that placental transfusion, facilitated by delayed cord clamping (DCC), reduces death and need for blood transfusions for preterm infants without evidence of harm. Even a brief delay in clamping the cord shows improved survival and well-being, but waiting at least two minutes is even better. We propose that t

Introduction: Moral distress arises when healthcare workers face difficult decisions without adequate information and/or when patient care is compromised due to limited resources, communication issues, or altered work routines in exceptional circumstances. While moral distress in maternity and neonatal healthcare workers (MNHCWs) has been noted, its prevalence, intensity, and impact on well-being

Over the last decades, marketing literature has persistently been interested in how marketers and consumers alike engage with the past through past-themed brands, products, and services. However, our knowledge on past-themed marketing is scattered and treated in largely separated literature streams on retro, heritage, nostalgia, and vintage. This article reviews marketing literature on retro, heri

In this thesis, I explore and conceptualise how resonance can be market-mediated. To do this, I unravel the theoretical context of past-themed consumption and marketing. My exploration is based on five standalone papers that all investigate past-themed consumption and marketing. Two of these papers are empirical and employ the context of the Danish vintage cycling community. Three papers are conce

Enligt Lagen om skydd mot olyckor (LSO) skall kommunerna beskriva sin riskbild som en del av deras arbete med att utveckla handlingsprogram för olycksförebyggande verksamhet och räddningstjänst. Denna rapport är resultatet av ett uppdrag som utförts av Avdelningen för riskhantering och samhällssäkerhet på uppdrag av Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap med syftet att föreslå hur man kan utv

INTRODUCTION: Mental health workers' attitudes toward individuals who self-harm impact accessibility and quality of care. Previous studies have established the role of training on professionals' attitudes, with mixed findings for gender and work experience. While self-report attitudinal scales are frequently used, latent response trends across such scales are seldom considered. The present study e

Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) is a crisis intervention for individuals with recurrent self-harm and suicidal ideation. While short-term effects are documented, long-term utilisation patterns remain unclear. This study examines BA usage over 4 years, identifies distinct utilisation profiles, and qualitatively explores participants' experiences with BA over time. Participants were 62 individ

Noninvasive fibrosis scores, particularly Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), are widely used in hepatology due to their accessibility and simplicity.1 The FIB-4 index combines age, AST, platelet count, and ALT into a formula validated primarily in hepatitis C and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, which typically cause zone III (centrilobular) hepatocyte injury and transaminase elevation.1

Method: Thirty-two PD patients with sleep disturbances (Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) ≥ 3) were included in this observational study. Before start of treatment and during stable dose with rotigotine patients were assessed with Parkinson’s disease sleep scale 2 (PDSS-2), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Parkinson’s disease quality of life questionnaire (PDQ-8), European Quality of life

System-level brain modeling is a powerful method for building computational models of the brain and allows biologically motivated models to produce measurable behavior that can be tested against empirical data. System-level brain models occupy an intermediate position between detailed neuronal circuit models and abstract cognitive models. They are distinguished by their structural and functional r

Insect pest control, which is essential for food and crop production, typically relies on chemical insecticides. At Yngvi Bio, we repurpose bacterial contractile injection systems as biodegradable insecticides, offering ecological safety, target specificity and a scalable path to market.
