In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an

In order to reach the climate targets for the society, with significant lower proportions of CO2 emissions than today, certain actions are required. To be able to decrease the emissions, one alternative is to increase the amount of people who uses public transportation as opposed to using cars. The municipality of Åstorp is one of the districts that emits most CO2 per person and day in Scania, and

Social media (SM) use in crisis and disaster management (CDM) is resource-intensive and can overwhelm emergency management authorities (EMAs). Digital voluntarism offers SM capacities for EMAs. A significant approach to reap benefits from digital voluntarism for domestic CDM is introducing Virtual Operations Support Teams (VOSTs). While VOSTs have been proven valuable in increasing capacities, the

This study investigates the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Swedish music industry, emphasizing the issues it presents to copyright law. As AI technologies progressively enable the automated generation of musical content, enduring legal principles such as authorship, ownership, and ethical rights are being questioned in ways that conventional copyright framewo

This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No

ABSTRACT Phygital and gameful interventions are increasingly used by Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) to manage visitor movement, interpretation, and access in fragile heritage destinations. Yet their contribution to sustainable and resilient destination development remains unclear, particularly when digital tools do not translate smoothly into situated visitor experience. Focusing on D

Refugees often spend over 20 years in what are supposed to be temporary camps, leading to increased violence and abuse. The humanitarian and development sector is seeking long-term solutions to protect their human rights and prevent discrimination. This study aimed to identify which possible solutions the Kenyan government may implement to address the demands of refugees in terms of local integrat

A design for generating distributed input data for a regionalized version of the steady-state model PROFILE was tested by Monte Carlo simulations of critical loads of acidity for 67 sites within a south Swedish municipality, Svalov. Input and output data were integrated in a geographic information system for data manipulation and to facilitate its use in local planning. Pooled standard deviations

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is characterized by nonrandom chromosomal aberrations, varying from one or a few changes in early-stage and low-grade tumors, to highly rearranged karyotypes in muscle-invasive lesions. Recent array-CGH analyses have shed further light on the genomic changes underlying the neoplastic development of UC, and have facilitated the molecular delineation a

Patient registries often lack indicators of the disease as experienced by patients, e.g. treatment satisfaction and self-assessed disease severity. There is scarce information about the relationship between these assessments and currently existing instruments used in treatment evaluation. Our objective was to explore the importance of these indicators among patients with psoriasis in Finland and S

The Chicxulub asteroid that ended the Cretaceous Era ∼66.05 million years ago caused a prolonged time of global darkness – the impact winter – leading to mass extinctions. Elements from the asteroid, including the platinum group elements (PGEs) osmium, iridium and platinum are known from the globally distributed boundary clay but their carrier elements have so far been unknown. We identify, for th

Two synchrotron-based studies on 4H-pyran-4-thione, photoelectron spectroscopy and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectra were performed. A highly resolved structure was observed in the photoelectron spectrum (PES), in contrast to an earlier PES study, where little structure was observed. The sequence of ionic states was determined using configuration interaction and coupled cluster methods.

Background: Young adults experience stressors in their transition to adulthood and are at increased risk of mental ill-health. This risk is compounded by young adults’ low levels of mental health literacy and limited competencies in implementing strategies promoting mental health and well-being in their daily lives. Previous research suggests that digital mental health apps may be particularly eff

Objective Half of all adult emergency department (ED) visits with a complaint of dyspnea involve acute heart failure (AHF), exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), or pneumonia, which are often misdiagnosed. We aimed to create an artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic decision support tool to detect patients with AHF, eCOPD, and pneumonia among dyspneic adults at the beginn

OBJECTIVES: To compare sociodemographic, clinical, and suicide-specific characteristics between younger old (aged 65-74) and older old (aged 75+) adults who died by suicide in 2015, and to identify clinically relevant subgroups in the entire study cohort 65+ through cluster analysis.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: All health care units across Sweden.PARTICIPANTS: Individuals aged 65+ w

Study region: Lake Vänern, the largest lake in the European Union, located in Sweden. Study focus: The study aimed to develop a spatially complete and temporally continuous lake surface water temperature (LSWT) dataset by fusing satellite remote sensing data with reanalysis products. Five satellite-derived LSWT products, including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), were eva

Background: The globally transmitted avian malaria parasite Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) has been found to infect hundreds of different bird species with differences in infection outcomes ranging from more or less latent to potentially mortal. However, to date basic knowledge about the links between genetic differentiation and variation in infection outcome within this single malaria parasit

Due to the increasing share of older people worldwide, the United Nations has directed an initiative towards a "decade of healthy ageing" to promote "age-friendly environments". This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how to promote social participation and everyday mobility in later life. The ambition is to increase the knowledge about how to create more age-friendly environments and soDue to the increasing share of older people worldwide, the United Nations has directed an initiative towards a "decade of healthy ageing" to promote "age-friendly environments".

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after major surgical procedures. We examined the incidence, risk factors, and mortality of patients who sustained AKI after abdominal surgery in a large population-based cohort.METHODS: All patients who underwent open and laparoscopic abdominal surgery (excluding genitourinary and abdominal vascular procedures), between 2007 and 2014
