Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has an overall poor prognosis. We sought to identify what temporal trends and influencing factors existed for this condition in one region.
Migration researchers have long known that the motives for changing place of residence vary over migration distance. Typically, short-distance moves are regarded as motivated by housing considerations and longer-distance moves primarily by employment considerations. Using a large-scale survey on migration motives, this paper explores how migration motives change over migration distance. Particular
One of the largest sources of uncertainties in modelling of the future global climate is the response of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Studies have shown that it is likely that the extant land sink of carbon will weaken in a warming climate. Should this happen, a larger portion of the annual carbon dioxide emissions will remain in the atmosphere, and further increase global warming, which in turn
In this article, I depart from the factual difficulties of undocumented migrants to access a state’s protection mechanisms for avowedly universal human rights. I relate this aporia to two competing conceptions of territorial jurisdictions. Drawing on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Migrant Workers Convention, I separate the sphere of the political community (the polis) and that o
The relationship between community structure and growth and pH tolerance of a soil bacterial community was studied after liming in a reciprocal inoculum study. An unlimed (UL) humus soil with a pH of 4.0 was fumigated with chloroform for 4 h, after which < 1 % of the initial bacterial activity remained. Half of the fumigated soil was experimentally limed (EL) to a pH of 7.6. Both the UL and the EL
Solar energy conversion into electricity by photovoltaic modules is now a mature technology. We discuss the need for materials and device developments using conventional silicon and other materials, pointing to the need to use scalable materials and to reduce the energy payback time. Storage of solar energy can be achieved using the energy of light to produce a fuel. We discuss how this can be ach
Coherent multi-cell cooperative transmission, also referred to as coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP), is a promising strategy to provide high spectral efficiency for universal frequency reuse cellular systems. To report the required channel information to the transmitter in frequency division duplexing systems, limited feedback techniques are often applied. Considering that the average ch
BACKGROUND: Singletons born after IVF have an adverse perinatal outcome when compared with singletons in the general population. This study investigates maternal characteristics and IVF-treatment-related variables, for a possible influence on obstetric outcomes. METHODS: Data from all IVF clinics in Sweden, including all IVF singletons born after fresh treatment cycles and own oocytes during 2002-
Whether the safest roundabout design for cyclists is to separate cycle crossings or integrate cyclists with motorists is an extensively discussed issue. Studies using accident statistics indicate that a separated cycle crossing is the safest for high motor vehicle volumes. However, the results have not been satisfyingly explained. This article combines quantitative and qualitative methods in traff
Waste-to-energy fly ash can be repurposed if treated to limit the leaching of potentially toxic elements such as Zn. Ashes with lime additives can be stabilised via gypsum formation, while those without additives are better suited for acid-leaching treatment (and material recovery). In this study, ashes from grate-fired boilers – three without lime addition and one ash with lime addition – were tr
Avhandlingen undersöker hur kvinnor i Zimbabwes jordbrukssektor tillämpar kollektivt handlande för att främja agroekologisk omvandling och utmana könsrelaterade ojämlikheter. Trots att kvinnor utgör minst 70% av arbetskraften i Zimbabwes jordbrukssektor, marginaliseras de genom ojämlik tillgång till mark, utestängning från strategiska beslut och devalvering av beprövad erfarenhet. Studien bygger pThis thesis examines how women in agricultural communities in Zimbabwe leverage collective action to advance agroecological transformation while challenging systemic gender inequities. It responds to the persistent marginalization of women in Zimbabwean agriculture by investigating how collective action reclaims agency and reshapes agroecological systems. Despite constituting at least 70 % of the
This article analyzes Sweden’s approach to digitalization and its associated side effects, while there are successful outcomes of its public sports policy.
People that produce bad outcomes can thereby become the fitting targets of blame, the fitting intensity of which is determined by the badness of the outcomes. In the following paper, I suggest that the amount of blame instances that people are fitting targets of is also determined by the weight of the badness of the outcomes. I use the example of online blame as a paradigmatic case where the amoun
AbstractThis research aims to investigate and compare how computers work on five different workstation setups of multiple or large screens and viewing distances (27-inch and 49-inch at 70 or 90 cm viewing distance) affect muscular load in neck/shoulders, working postures, and perceived exertions of non-presbyopic participants.

Abstract in French: Une restauratrice japonaise installée à Vientiane a lancé l’alerte après avoir vu en ligne des hommes se vanter d’avoir acheté des rapports sexuels avec des enfants. Son action a conduit Tokyo à publier un avertissement diplomatique aussi rare que direct. Derrière cet épisode, c’est tout un système d’exploitation sexuelle transnationale qui refait surface, révélant les liens pe
AbstractEyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision.

Bouchra Khalili occupies three theater stages, offering the present a sensitive echo of hidden memories and forgotten stories.With her project Asterisms (Fig. 1 to 3), Bouchra Khalili, visual artist invited to the 2025 edition of the Festival d’Automne, successively invests three theater stages to explore the links between the representation of buried histories, performance, and moving images. Dra
The exhibition presents a selection of works by Moroccan-French artist Bouchra Khalili (b. 1975), whose multidisciplinary practice develops collaborative strategies of storytelling with members of communities excluded from citizen membership.Combining the traditions of post-independence avant-gardes and conceptual practices, Khalili’s work suggests poetical hypotheses for newer imaginations of com
We present a detailed study of the large-scale shock front in Stephan’s Quintet, a by-product of past and ongoing interactions. Using integral-field spectroscopy from the new William Herschel Telescope Enhanced Area Velocity Explorer (WEAVE), recent 144 MHz observations from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey, and archival data from the Very Large Array and JWST, we obtain new measurements of key shoc
Ammonia has been considered a promising carbon-free fuel for marine engines. However, its low flame speed and high nitrogen oxides (NOx) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions present significant challenges. To address these issues, novel combustion concepts, such as ammonia/diesel dual-fuel Reactivity-Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) engines, have been proposed. This paper presents a detailed in
