Moving beyond both utopian optimism's market-based solutions and terminal marketing's pessimism, this work introduces a dystopian optimism to revitalise critical marketing. We advocate for degrowth as an optimistic path forward and outline how marketing scholars can use critical performativity to be part of the transition to a post-growth economy.

Complicated colonic diverticulitis remains a frequent cause of hospital admissions in Western countries, associated with significant morbidity and health care utilization. Complications include abscess formation, perforation, sepsis, fistulas, and colonic stenosis, which may be present at initial presentation or develop during the disease course. Approximately 10%-20% of hospitalized diverticuliti

ObjectiveSputum cultures can guide antibiotic therapy, particularly in severe pneumonia or when resistant pathogens are suspected. However, data on how prior and ongoing antibiotic exposure affects microbial detection are limited. This study aimed to evaluate this impact, stratified by timing and route of administration.MethodsIn- and outpatients from nine hospitals in Skåne, Sweden, who submitted

Contemporary experimental psychology is shifting away from constrained laboratory settings to tasks that more closely resemble real-world behavior. Traditional experiments often present stimuli at fixed screen locations, which restricts the use of active vision involving eye movements integral to the neural processes underlying perception, attention, and memory. Recent research has highlighted the

Energy-efficient and cost-effective water desalination systems can significantly replenish freshwater reserves without further stressing limited energy resources. Currently, the majority of the desalination systems are operated by non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuel power plants. The viability of any desalination process depends primarily on the type and amount of energy it utilizes a

We envision a future in which multi-antenna technology effectively exploits the spatial domain as a set of non-interfering orthogonal resources, allowing for flexible resource allocation and efficient modulation/demodulation. We may refer to this paradigm as orthogonal space-division multiplexing (OSDM). On the other hand, reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as a promising technol

Production and use of growing media involve a trade-off between sustainability and public health. We claim that a paradigm shift is needed, focusing on properties supporting environmental sustainability and human health, with a holistic approach involving One Health expertise. We use Legionella in growing media, soil, and gardening as an example to highlight key knowledge gaps.

Our research aims to develop an intelligent control system for optimizing the operation of lighting systems for a jogging track in the countryside by using adaptive control methods, and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of loca

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a perplexing condition in women characterized by cessation of oocyte production in the ovaries. Despite numerous proposed causes for the development of POF, the actual cause of the most POF cases remains unknown. Given that POF significantly affects fertility and is a devastating diagnosis for women, there is an urgent need for the development of new therapies ai
