Although many studies on mental health have been conducted among various populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have focused on post-traumatic growth (PTG) in the general population. The current study aimed to explore whether perceived social support, personality, and coping strategies are associated with PTG in the COVID-19 pandemic period. The study also investigated whether copin

Background: The recently launched high-throughput assays for detecting antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 has contributed to the managing strategies for the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the performance of three high-throughput assays and one rapid lateral flow test relative to regulatory authorities' recommended criteria. Methods: A total of 315 samples, including 150 pre-pandemic

Increasing drought frequency and intensity affect biophysical functions of natural ecosystems. In tropical semi-arid savannas, while immediate drought effects are well-studied, the drought legacy effects on vegetation composition and associated ecosystem functions remain unclear. We used data of vegetation composition, net ecosystem CO 2 exchange, surface albedo and evapotranspiration (ET) in 201

Wastewater monitoring is highly efficient in SARS-CoV-2 surveillance for tracking virus spread through travel, surpassing traditional airport passenger testing. This study explored the links between SARS-CoV-2 contents and variants from aircraft to city, assessing the impact of detected variants from international travellers versus the local population. A total of 969 variants using next-generatio

The Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE) was an interval of prominent hydroclimatic perturbations during the early Late Triassic. The causes of these changes have been widely attributed to intensified greenhouse forcing. However, the temporal dynamics of the hydrological cycle across low-latitude regions during the CPE remain poorly constrained. In this study, we present high-resolution organic geochemic

Purpose: To investigate whether the issuance of green bonds has a positive impact on corporate value. Methodology: Utilizing a comprehensive dataset of 1684 non-financial A-share listed companies from 2014 to 2022, the study employs a multi-period difference-in-difference model, parallel testing, heterogeneity analysis, and mechanism testing. Tobin’s Q is used as dependent variable, post*treat is

This thesis deals with language mixing in 20th century Japanese jazz, particularly the use of English. There have been multiple studies conducted on the language mixing phenomenon in Japanese pop-music (J-pop), a popular genre in Japan today. The results showcase that English is frequently used in J-pop, both inter-sentential and intra-sentential code-switching. The use of English has also been sh

This thesis uses real data from the Bank of International Settlements to create financial networks for the interbank market using five different methods for network reconstruction. The goal is to analyze how defaults propagate to assess the importance of banks and to examine how the network’s structure affects the system’s vulnerability. By applying network theory, communicability theory, and the

I sverige använder man främst geologisk kartering, geofysik och borrning som prospekteringsmetoder, men forskning och internationella fallstudier visar att grundvattnet är en outnyttjad informationskälla som kan göra letandet efter malm både träffsäkrare och mer hållbart. När mineraliseringar vittrar läcker exempelvis metaller som koppar, zink eller litium ut i grundvattnet och sprids med flödet. In Sweden, geological mapping, geophysics, and drilling are primarily used as exploration methods, but research and international case studies show that groundwater is an untapped source of information that can make the search for ore both more accurate and more sustainable. As mineralisations weather, metals such as copper, zinc, or lithium leach into the groundwater and are transported with the

Internal social media (ISM) platforms have transformed internal communication by enabling dialogue, participation, and shared meaning-making across organizational hierarchies and locations. While previous research has highlighted ISM’s role in knowledge sharing and employee engagement, less attention has been paid to its function in shaping organizational identity from a managerial perspective.
