The aim of this special issue is to advance research on biblical reception in Scandinavian contexts and to offer new insights into the intricate relationship between religiosity and secularity more broadly. This is done by engaging with theoretical questions concerning religion, secularity, and biblical reception in the modern world. In this introduction, we contextualize the special issue in rela

BackgroundThere are limited data on the treatment outcomes of adolescents living with HIV. Our objective was to compare mortality and loss to follow up (LTFU) rates between adolescent and younger age groups at enrollment in care.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study carried out in eight health facilities in two regions of Ethiopia. Adolescents (age 10–14 and 15–19 year) and children (age 0–
Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence has steadily increased in Sweden, more steeply in the mid-1990s caused by increased opportunistic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Tallness, normal weight, and non-smoking are associated with more PSA testing, which increases detection of low-risk and localised PCa. We investigated time trends of height, body mass index (BMI), and smoking with PCa risk in 17
Chemical communication using pheromones is crucial for the reproductive success of many insect species, including beetles(Coleoptera). Pheromones are detected by specialised odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), in the sensoryneurons of the antennae. The PRs in Coleoptera remain understudied, with only a few receptors being functionally characterised.This limits our understand
Problem-based learning (PBL) has proven to be highly effective for educating students in an active and self-motivated manner in various disciplines. Student projects carried out following PBL principles are very dynamic and carry a high level of uncertainty, both conditions under which agile project management approaches are assumed to be highly supportive. The paper describes an empirical case stProblem-based learning (PBL) has proven to be highly effective for educating students in an active and self-motivated manner in various disciplines.

AIM: To investigate the occurrence of pressure injuries (PIs) in children with myelomeningocele (MMC) and to investigate the association between PIs and orthoses use by disability-specific variables.METHODS: Population-based registry study including participants in the Swedish multidisciplinary follow-up programme for MMC. Risks of PIs were investigated by birth cohort, country of birth, sex, type
Energy poverty has been kept at bay in Sweden for the past decades owing to several beneficial circumstances. However, geopolitical pressure and an accelerating energy transition are changing the circumstances and exposing vulnerabilities to energy poverty in Sweden particularly connected to electricity price peaks. The circumstantial nature of the exposed risks for energy poverty motivates a concEnergy poverty has been kept at bay in Sweden for the past decades owing to several beneficial circumstances.

PURPOSE: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk of cognitive impairments and need to be cognitively assessed to allow for individualized interventions, if applicable. Therefore, a systematic protocol for the follow-up of cognition in children with CP, CP Cog, with assessments offered at five/six and 12/13 years of age, was developed. This report presents and discusses assessment practices i
The strive to create sustainable societies is often addressed through the lens of social, economic-, or environmental sustainability. However, this division fails to acknowledge existential dimensions of sustainability, i.e., the fundamental concern to sustain a good and meaningful life.

In central Budapest, when the city of Pest was developing, urban policy led to small plots built on all four sides mak- ing up the larger neighborhood block structures. Each small lot was centered around its even smaller courtyard, lead- ing to a myriad of small open spaces with little sunlight or activity. Many of these plots today have fallen into disrepair, becoming parking lots or unused p
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of how factors related to knowledge in itself, the environment, the sender, the receiver, and the sender and receiver affect knowledge transfer between departments in different business sectors. We also intend to clarify differences between sectors and to map these differences. Methodology: As we have aimed to clarify what factor
In this thesis, the impact of unknown parameter estimation in the case of the volatility parameter in the Black-Scholes model on hedging is investigated. The objective is to develop a systematic and robust model of hedging to challenge the conventional delta and improved mean-variance hedge, and hopefully improve upon risk assessment values. The proposed algorithms were tested in situations of unc
