Numerous studies have examined the challenges associated with developing second-home (SH) tourism in rural areas. However, little attention has been given to exploring the influence of power dynamics and rent-seeking behavior on the Real Estate Market for second homes (SHs). To address this research gap, our study conducted face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders in five selected villages in

The increased share of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power poses constraints on the stability of the grid and the security of supply due to the imbalance between electricity production and demand. Chemical storage or power-to-X technologies can provide the flexibility that is needed to overcome this issue. To quantify the needs of such storage systems, energy system opti

Background: In a workshop about working with the Canvas learning platform, three librarians at Lund University started a project to create a resource for the reference management program EndNote. We started in January 2020 and launched our Canvas course with EndNote X9 in August 2020. In 2021, the entire course was updated to adapt to EndNote 20 and we also added an English version due to request.

Purpose: With modern treatments, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients more frequently experience long-lasting remission resulting in a growing population of long-term survivors. Follow-up care includes identification and management of treatment-related late-effects, such as secondary malignancies (SM). We conducted a population-based study to describe the burden of SM in MCL patients. Methods: All

In its latest assessment report the IPCC stresses the need for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to counterbalance residual emissions to achieve net zero carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions. There are currently a wide variety of CDR measures available. Their potential and feasibility, however, depends on context specific conditions, as among others biophysical site characteristics, or availabili

This short report is one of a series of outputs to flow from the international,interdisciplinary project ‘Looking back to move forwards: a social and cultural historyof home heating’ (JUSTHEAT), funded through the Collaboration of Humanities andSocial Sciences in Europe (CHANSE) initiative, which began in 2022 and runs until2025. Within this project, we aim to understand how major changes to home

BackgroundThe Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most widely used standardised screener for impairments across a range of cognitive domains. However, the degree to which its domains (orientation, registration, attention, recall, language, and visuospatial) capture cognitive functioning measured using standardised neuropsychological tests is unclear.MethodA longitudinal research design wit

ObjectivesResearch on personality seeks to understand what makes people similar or distinct from another. However, there is still a limited understanding of processes that underpin an individual’s personality, such as interactions with other psychological dispositions such as trait mindfulness. Elucidating the unique relationships between mindfulness and personality traits with network analysis ca

While immunity and psychological distress are strongly associated, studies seldom consider how different types of distress relate to immune functioning. The literature tends to emphasis the impact of stress on immunity. The present cross-sectional study estimated the unique contributions of depression, anxiety, and stress on immune function in culturally diverse samples of adults from Italy, New Z

BackgroundMisophonia is a complex condition characterized by extreme emotional distress in response to specific sounds or specific visual stimuli. Despite a growing body of clinical and neuroscientific literature, the etiology of this condition remains unclear. Hyperarousal, that is, a state of heightened alertness and disinhibition, as a core feature of misophonia is supported by behavioral and n

BackgroundCognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are recommended treatments for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but their relative efficacy and acceptability have not been comprehensively examined. Further, it remains unclear whether the efficacy of in-person CBT is conserved when delivered in other formats, such as over telephone/webcam or as In

Standards are put forward as important means to turn the ideals of ethical and responsible artificial intelligence into practice. One principle targeted for standardization is transparency. This article attends to the tension between standardization and transparency, by combining a theoretical exploration of these concepts with an empirical analysis of standardizations of artificial intelligence t

Perianal Paget’s disease (PPD) is a rare intraepidermal neoplastic disease, presenting with nonspecific symptoms, such as pruritis ani or eczema. Perianal Paget’s disease may present as a primary lesion or as a paramalignant phenomenon. Uniform evidence-based treatment strategies have not been defined for this rare condition, and currently, different treatment methods are suggested. This case repo

This work presents a systematic study of the properties (Light Output Non-Uniformity (LONU) and energy resolution) of two CsI(Tl) scintillation units over a span of almost three years, under adverse conditions of humidity and temperature. These two crystals are part of the CALIFA detector, a highly segmented calorimeter and spectrometer for γ rays and light-charged particles, that is placed surrou

Det handlar både om Den Stora Fredsresan och om Elisabeth Gerles liv. Fredsresan pågick från maj 1985 till det avslutande Folkens toppmöte ii FN i New York 1988 och uppvaktade över hundra regeringar. Med fem frågor och fyra vita bussar ville man bryta ett dödläge där kalla krigets två supermakter,USA och Sovjet, stod rustade mot varandra. Kärnvapen var det stora hotet.

Om människan ses som kund istället för som medborgare undergrävs demokratin. Detta försvårar nödvändiga insatser mot klimathotet.
