The aim of this Work Package 6 (WP6) report is to describe and analyze insights from Interreg North SeaWaterWarmth demonstration pilots. Specifically, WP6 examines the pilots' innovation and governancearrangements that help implementation and scaling of aqua thermal energy (AE) systems in real-worldcontexts. The work is therefore primarily based on lessons learned through a mixed methods approach

The main research question that guides the analysis for this Work Package 6 Deliverable 6.3 report is: What are the barriers and opportunities that govern niche development and scaling of aqua thermal energy (AE)systems? In answering this research question, we map and analyze the enabling policy and opportunitiesthat support AE system niche development, as well as policy that can also play a role

Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials and observational studies assessing outcomes of different endovascular management approaches for the treatment of acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI) when adjusted for Rutherford classification. Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Review Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed

The 1955-56 macroeconomic crisis is a central event in modern Irish history. Yet, despite this centrality, its causes are not clearly understood. In 1955-6, Ireland, which had previously followed British interest rates in lockstep as part of its fixed exchange with the latter, briefly experimented with independent monetary policy. Our contribution is twofold. First, we highlight how the Irish resp

This paper analyses the evolution of material living standards in three Swedish, before 1658 Danish, towns (Malmö, Ystad and Falkenberg) of varying size from the late 1500s to the advent of industrialization in the 1860s. We use population registers and church books, but above all a new dataset of 1381 probate inventories for the time periods 1570–1599, 1670–1720, the 1780s, and the 1860s. Based o

Baumol’s cost disease is a wellknown theorem, but its consequences are rarely addressed in economic-political discourse. This paper highlights the implications of Baumol’s cost disease and shows that in real terms the once so celebrated “Swedish Model” has lost its exclusive position relative to other European countries. Even worse, since 1995 Swedish welfare services has in general lost in conten

“I choose you, of my own free will”, en B-uppsats av Sofia Gripse och Veronika Persson vid Institutionen för kommunikation, Lunds universitet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur kärlek och romantiska relationer konstrueras och representeras i säsong tre av tv-serien "The Summer I Turned Pretty". Med utgångspunkt i en kvalitativ innehållsanalys analyseras hur heteronormativa föres

Introduction: In this thesis, I critically examine three discourses, prevalent within the 'field' of sexual violence in migration. Methodology: Taking a poststructuralist approach, I deconstruct the beforementioned discourses in a threefold analysis. Results: I find, that the binary gender system is still dominating, and that certain ideas about 'men' and 'women', their bod

Introduction: Implementing new treatment regimens entails a learning phase with a concomitant risk of suboptimal results. High caseload has generally been shown to improve results in complex surgical procedures. This study aimed to evaluate results of Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (IP), given as Early Postoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (EPIC) or Hyperthermic

BACKGROUND: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and left atrial strain metrics, including reservoir (LAr), contraction (LAct), and conduit strain (LAcd), have emerged as key indicators of left ventricular (LV) function and filling pressures. However, the prognostic value of these markers for risk stratification in acute heart failure (HF) remains uncertain, particularly in identifying patients at ele

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate psychometric properties of newly developed hand and wrist proprioception tests.DESIGN: Cross-sectional and test-retest comparisons.SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Twenty-six individuals (mean age 40 years) with wrist disability (> 3 months) due to traumatic injury or general instability.METHODS: Pointing acuity (with eyes open and closed), active joint position sense (in extension, flexi

BackgroundUmbilical cord arterial pH (UApH) is the most objective measurement of the metabolic condition of the infant at birth. However, studies have identified changes in UApH with advancing gestational age, as there is limited data examining UApH changes with different modes of birth. The objective was to establish reference values for UApH according to mode of birth and to investigate the infl

Selenium (Se), an essential trace element, is linked to poor prognosis in heart failure (HF) and kidney disease. Se deficiency (serum Se < 70 μg/L) has been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Selenoprotein P (SELENOP), the main Se transporter, reflects bioavailable Se. Selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), defined by a cystatin C-based eGFR < 0.7 of creatinine-based

Lifetimes of photoexcited charge transfer (CT) states in transition metal chromophores are influenced by low-lying ligand field (LF) excited states, especially for 3d metal complexes. To manipulate interactions between LF and CT states, it is important to be able to control LF excited state energies using tunable synthetic variables. In this report, we use Fe 2p3d L3-edge resonant inelastic X-ray

A broadband high gain metasurface-based Fabry–Perot resonant cavity antenna (FPRCA) for polarization reconfigurable is proposed in this article. The antenna features a microstrip source antenna with a single-layer 2 × 2 circular patch metasurface, a ground plane, and a double-layer partially reflective surface (PRS), along with four resistors and two diodes. Characteristic mode analysis (CMA) is p

Introduction: Sepsis, a widespread global ailment, involves an exaggerated immune response, leading to hyperinflammation and immunosuppression. Extracellular histones, released during hyperinflammation as part of the defensive response against pathogens, significantly contribute to sepsis pathogenesis, compromising viability of the host’s endothelial cells and contributing to organ failure. Method

The global rise in youth mental ill-health is exacerbated by a shortage of clinicians trained in evidence-based care, making it difficult to translate research into effective practice – especially for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), an adolescent-onset condition that often goes undetected and untreated. This study aimed to explore clinicians’ experiences of participation in an online educational p
