The technological evolutions have promoted mobile devices from rudimentary communication facilities to advanced personal assistants. According to the huge amount of accessible data, developing a time-saving and cost-effective method for location-based recommendations in mobile devices has been considered a challenging issue. This paper contributes a state-of-the-art solution for a personalized rec
Background: Clinical reasoning has been proposed to be a key attribute of health professionals. We hypothesized that clinical reasoning may be one explicit way to further the understanding of each other’s roles in interprofessional learning activities, for nurse students and physiotherapy students. Objectives: The first part of this paper was a literature review. In the second part of the paper, w
BackgroundAntibiotics are handled in large amounts at hospitals at many different wards due to the wide range of bacterial infections that are treated. Unnecessary use and occupational exposure to antibiotics should be avoided due to the risk of bacterial resistance development and adverse health effects including skin and respiratory hypersensitivity reactions in persons handling these drugs.Obje
Global warming is expected to transfer carbon from soil organic matter to atmospheric CO 2, with microbial communities playing a crucial role in regulating this exchange. While the immediate impact of temperature on microbial functions is well understood and causes soil carbon losses, the long-term response remains unclear, with losses stabilising over time, reducing the overall effect of chronic
Strain-stress relationships for physical properties are of interest for heteroepitaxial material systems, where strain and stress are inherent due to thermal expansion and lattice mismatch. We report linear perturbation theory strain and stress relationships for optical phonon modes in monoclinic crystals for strain and stress situations which maintain the monoclinic symmetry of the crystal. By us
Boreal forests emit terpenoid biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) that significantly affect atmospheric chemistry. Our understanding of the variation of BVOC species emitted from boreal ecosystems is based on relatively few datasets, especially at the ecosystem-level. We conducted measurements to obtain BVOC flux observations above the boreal forest at the ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observati
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a health burden that lacks specific and early diagnostic biomarkers. For their discovery, we sequenced urinary extracellular vesicle miRNAs in a type 1 diabetes cohort of males with and without DKD. The results were replicated by sequencing or qPCR in two independent cohorts and six published datasets, including type 1 and 2 diabetes, and both sexes. We also valida
Ethylcellulose thickened oil (EC oleogels) has a significant retarding effect on lipolysis and may be used for controlled-release formulations. However, the high temperature (above 150 °C) used during the gel-forming process becomes an obvious limitation that hinders the application of EC oleogels to temperature-sensitive active ingredients. A cold-mixing procedure that could allow for an encapsul
Road traffic pollution is one of the most important factors among other environmental factors that influence the roadside vegetation. The present research examines the impact of motorway flyovers and at-grade roads on air pollution (PM10, SOx, NOx, and air quality index (AQI)) and roadside vegetation in Dehradun by considering the important biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, ascorbic acid
Denna avhandling undersöker hur svenska män som betalar för sex ger mening åt sina handlingar och förhåller sig till ett moraliskt sammanhang präglat av kriminalisering, stigma och offentlig fördömelse. Med utgångspunkt i antropologiska perspektiv på moral, stigma och hemlighållande förstås männens berättelser som uttryck för moraliskt arbete: det pågående, situationsbundna arbete genom vilket indThis dissertation examines how Swedish men who pay for sex make sense of their actions and orient themselves within a moral landscape marked by criminalization, stigma, and public condemnation. Drawing on anthropological approaches to morality, stigma, and secrecy, the study conceptualizes the men’s accounts as forms of “moral work”: the ongoing, situated labor through which individuals seek to su
Agri-food systems globally experience growing difficulties associated with losses after harvesting, irregular quality, and inefficient utilization of resources, particularly within fruit supply chain (FSC). Given the complicated structure in FSCs, it is critical to guarantee quality at all levels to sustain customer satisfaction and optimize the utilization of resources. Conventional inspections a
Studying the behavior of multiple participants using networked eye-tracking setups is of increasing interest to researchers. However, to conduct such studies, researchers have had to create complicated ad hoc solutions for streaming gaze over a local network. Here we present TittaLSL, a toolbox that enables creating networked multi-participant experiments using Tobii eye trackers with minimal prog
Accurate quantification in emission tomography is essential for internal radiopharmaceutical therapy dosimetry. Mean activity concentration measurements in objects with diameters less than 10 times the full width at half maximum of the imaging system’s spatial resolution are significantly affected (>10%) by the partial-volume effect. This study develops a framework for PET and SPECT spatial resolu
A critical challenge in developing anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis is to design high-performance AEMs with chemical and mechanical stability under harsh alkaline environments. Herein, we report the rational design and synthesis of QP(T-3-Pip) featuring flexibly linked isomeric piperidinium cations via a Friedel-Crafts polyhydroxyalkylation between terphenyl and commercial 3-piperi
This article probes the writings of the Jewish Trotskyist thinker Daniel Bensaïd (1946–2010) in light of recent debates on political theology. In contrast to what is sometimes explicitly referred to as ‘apocalyptic political theology’, it makes a case for what may be described as a ‘prophetic political theology’. Yet it is not obvious to claim Bensaïd as a proponent for such a project, since he ex
