Micropollutants, such as pharmaceutical residues, are increasingly prevalent in water sources, posing significant risks to human and animal health while contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Despite high-standard wastewater treatment across the EU, the effective removal of micropollutants requires the adoption of more advanced treatment technologies, specifically quaternary treatment technolog
Det fjärde globala målet i 2030 års agenda för hållbar utveckling handlar om God utbildning för alla och syftar till att "säkerställa en inkluderande och likvärdig utbildning av god kvalitet och främja livslångt lärande för alla". Globalt sett ökar antalet studenter vid universitet och högskolor. Dock ligger regionen söder om Sahara långt efter och har med sina 9% den lägsta bruttoinskriThe fourth goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development regards Quality education, aiming to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all". Globally, enrollment in university education is increasing. However, the sub-Saharan Africa region is lacking behind and with 9% it has the lowest global gross enrollment rate (GER). Low inco
Syftet med studien var att utvärdera en metod för golfspelare att hjälpa sig själva till bättre prestationer under tävling. Undersökningen gjordes på 76 tävlingsspelare i golf i åldrarna 17-19 år. Hypotesen var att interventionen, skapad med övningen Three Blessings Exercise som inspiration, skulle leda till ett positivt tankemönster, vilket i sin tur skulle förbättra spelarnas tillstånd och/eller
Purpose: To find a suitable framework for the categorisation of management control tools as guidance for a purpose-oriented choice of management control tools. This is done by applying the iron triangle in the case of Activity-based costing (ABC) in the German public sector. Thereby the ABC adoption in the German public sector is analysed, including the discussion of purpose-oriented versus trend-
Collaboration Software is widely used in internal communication in the companies today. Software itself enables the companies to use variety of media with different properties and capabilities to mediate the communication on different corporate tasks. The way companies use the communication media implies the overall company performance. This study empirically examines the general propositions of M
Biobank samples stored in biobanks give researchers and respiratory healthcare institutions access to datasets of analytes valuable for both diagnostic and research practices. The usefulness of these samples in clinical decision-making is highly dependent on their quality and integrity. New procedures that better preserve sample integrity and reduce degradation are being developed to meet the need
Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut mediaotit - öroninflammation - är den vanligaste bakteriella infektionen hos barn. Den vanligaste öroninflammationsbakterien är pneumokocken. Öroninflammation är en infektion som varierar stort i svårighetsgrad; medan många öroninflammationer läker utan behandling kan andra ge upphov till livshotande komplikationer. Eftersom självläkningsfrekvensen är ganska hög oAcute otitis media (AOM) is the most common bacterial infection in children. The clinical course varies from spontaneous recovery to life-threatening complications, and this variability mainly depends on the causative pathogen. Bacteria usually invade the middle ear from the nasopharynx, where they are carried frequently, both during sickness and health. The most common bacterium to cause AOM, and
A search is presented for a high-mass Higgs boson in the , , , and decay modes using the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb. The results of the search are interpreted in the scenario of a heavy Higgs boson with a width that is small compared with the
Radial velocities measured from near-infrared (NIR) spectra are a potentially powerful tool to search for planets around cool stars and sub-stellar objects. However, no technique currently exists that yields NIR radial velocity precision comparable to that routinely obtained in the visible. We are carrying out an NIR radial velocity planet search program targeting a sample of the lowest-mass M dwa
Climate change represents one of the most serious threats to international environmental, social and economic security. The growing energy consumption is producing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are fastening climate change and polluting the environment. For this reason, the European Union (EU) desires to act as a global leader in combating climate change and is therefor
Rätten till arbete, som utgör en av de mest centrala mänskliga rättigheterna och även ses som en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsintegrering, är införlivad i en rad olika MR-instrument. Lika tillgång till arbetsmarknaden är en mycket viktig aspekt av denna rättighet, som även utmanar den underliggande norm om universalitet som präglar det internationella ramverket för mänskliga rättigheterThe right to work, as one of the most crosscutting and enabling socio-economic rights, as well as a basic requirement for social integration, is enshrined in a wide range of international human rights instruments. Equal access to the labour market is one important aspect of this right that challenges the underlying universality norm of the human rights regime by imposing on states the obligation t
The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a tool for measuring the wellbeing of an economy. The question of how to include the use of renewable energy sources is important when estimating the GPI for an economy highly dependent on renewable energy like Iceland. An analysis of GPI estimations showed that the use of renewable energy sources is reflected by the subtraction of the use of non-renewable o
Assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain requires the coordinated synthesis of mitochondrial and nuclear encoded subunits, redox co-factor acquisition, and correct joining of the subunits to form functional complexes. The conserved Cbp3-Cbp6 chaperone complex binds newly synthesized cytochrome b and supports the ordered acquisition of the heme co-factors. Moreover, it functions as a transla
BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common early onset disabilities globally. The causative brain damage in CP is nonprogressive, yet secondary conditions develop and worsen over time. Individuals with CP in Sweden and most of the Nordic countries are systematically followed in the national registry and follow-up program entitled the Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Program (CPUP). CPUP has
Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of the appropriate use criteria (AUC) for amyloid imaging in an unselected cohort. Methods: We calculated sensitivity and specificity of appropriate use (increased confidence and management change), as defined by Amyloid Imaging Taskforce in the AUC, and other clinical utility outcomes. Furthermore, we compared differences in p
OBJECTIVE: To explore stroke survivors' experiences of healthcare-related facilitators and barriers concerning return to work after stroke. DESIGN: A qualitative study. SETTING: Outpatient stroke rehabilitation unit at a University Hospital in southern Sweden. PARTICIPANTS: A convenient sample of 20 persons admitted to Skåne University Hospital for acute stroke care (median age 52 years), in emplo
Given the growing use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) beta-amyloid (Aß) and tau as biomarkers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is essential that the diagnostic procedures are standardized and the results comparable across different laboratories. Preanalytical factors are reported to be the cause of at least 50% of the total variability. Among them, diurnal variability is a key issu
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2023 guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis (IE) stress that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to manage patients with IE. In our view, the guidelines do not include the relevant perspectives from modern microbiology. The diagnostic criteria for IE were changed in the ESC 2023 guidelines, and many IE-causing pathogens are either not cl
