Women's experiences of the second stage of labour
Background: The second stage of labour is generally considered as an intensive part of labour. Despite this, knowledge about women's experiences of the second stage of labour is scant. Aim: To explore experiences of the second stage of labour in women with spontaneous vaginal birth. Methods: This is a qualitative study where twenty-one women with a spontaneous birth at term, were interviewed four
Att vara filosof i en tvärvetenskaplig miljö
Inom den moderna universitetsvärlden är filosofi inte en brett utforskande intellektuell verksamhet utan ett “ämne”, en “disciplin”, med interna normer och traditioner för vad man gör, hur man gör det och vad som är ett filosofiskt problem. Hur filosofi som akademisk disciplin förhåller sig till andra discipliner är en stor fråga, men delvis kan den illustreras av hur det är att som filosof verka
The Reception of Pistis Sophia and Gnosticism : Uncovering the Link Between Esoteric Milieus and Contemporary Academia
This article surveys the reception of the Gnostic text Pistis Sophia in esoteric milieus in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe. The first part of the article contains an overview of the text and scholarship on it. Then follows a study of the reception of Pistis Sophia in a broader array of esoteric circles. It becomes clear that the text was hailed as an example of ancient and great spThis article surveys the reception of the Gnostic text Pistis Sophia in esoteric milieus in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe.

Surgical aspects on patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic limb-threatening ischemia
Background: During the 21st century, diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) have become global problems. It is estimated that 19-34% of individuals with DM will develop a foot ulcer during their lifetime, and many will be amputated.Aim:-To study dietary and lifestyle factors associated with prevention of PAD among individuals with DM. -To evaluate outcomes after vascular and en
Framtagning av märkning för brandvarnare – Med EURO-NCAP som förebild
The number of traffic-related fatalities has dropped significantly in the last few decades, but the trend in fire safety, albeit positive, show a less rapid improvement. One reason could be the introduction of the Euro-NCAP-system in traffic safety which has been instrumental in promoting innovation in the field. In this report, a first version of a similar system for smoke alarms, arguably a most
Steady waves in local and nonlocal models for water waves
We study the steady Euler equations for inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational water waves of constant density. The thesis consists of three papers. The first paper approaches the Euler equations through a famous nonlocal model equation for gravity waves, namely the Whitham equation. We prove the existence of a highest gravity solitary wave which reaches the largest amplitude and forms a $C^{1
Chapel Hill Expert Survey trend file, 1999-2019
Research on party competition and political representation relies on valid cross-national measures of party po- sitions. This research note reports on the 1999–2019 Chapel Hill expert survey (CHES), which contains measures of national party positioning on European integration, ideology, and several European Union (EU) and non-EU policies for six waves of the survey, from 1999 to 2019. The trend fi
Action Levels for the Prevention of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Neck and Upper Extremities : A Proposal
There are several well-known risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Despite this knowledge, too many people still work in harmful conditions. The absence of occupational exposure limits (OELs) for physical workload impedes both supervision and preventive work. To prevent myalgia, tendon disorders, and nerve entrapments in the upper musculoskeletal system, we propose action

Socio-ecological correlates of neophobia in corvids
Behavioral responses to novelty, including fear and subsequent avoidance of novel stimuli, i.e., neophobia, determine how animals interact with their environment. Neophobia aids in navigating risk and impacts on adaptability and survival. There is variation within and between individuals and species; however, lack of large-scale, comparative studies critically limits investigation of the socio-eco
Prospective association between dietary pesticide exposure profiles and postmenopausal breast-cancer risk in the NutriNet-Santé cohort
BACKGROUND: Some pesticides, used in large quantities in current agricultural practices all over Europe, are suspected of adverse effects on human reproductive health (breast and prostate cancers), through mechanisms of endocrine disruption and possible carcinogenic properties, as observed in agricultural settings. However, evidence on dietary pesticide exposure and breast cancer (BC) is lacking f
Estimated dietary pesticide exposure from plant-based foods using NMF-derived profiles in a large sample of French adults
PURPOSE: This study, conducted in participants of the NutriNet-Santé cohort, aims to identify dietary pesticide exposure profiles (derived from Non-negative Matrix Factorization) from conventional and organic foods among a large sample of general population French adults.METHODS: Organic and conventional dietary intakes were assessed using a self-administered semi-quantitative food frequency quest

The BAyesian STellar algorithm (BASTA) : A fitting tool for stellar studies, asteroseismology, exoplanets, and Galactic archaeology
We introduce the public version of the BAyesian STellar Algorithm (BASTA), an open-source code written in Python to determine stellar properties based on a set of astrophysical observables. BASTA has been specifically designed to robustly combine large data sets that include asteroseismology, spectroscopy, photometry, and astrometry. We describe the large number of asteroseismic observations that

Organising grassroots infrastructure : The (in)visible work of organisational (in)completeness
In this article we build on the concept of incompleteness, as recently developed in both organisational and urban studies, to improve our understanding of the collective actions of grassroots organisations in creating and governing critical infrastructures in the changing and resource-scarce contexts of urban informal settlements. Empirically, the article is informed by the case of resident associ
