Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) occurs in about 20 % of patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites and is characterized by intensive renal vasoconstriction, low glomerular filtration rate but preserved tubular function and normal renal histology. The potential of terlipressin and albumin to reverse HRS after a time period of 14 days has already been shown. However, intravenous albumi

Background: Employment rates are lower in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Even though reduced manual ability is associated with limitations in daily activities, it is unclear whether employment rates are associated with manual ability in adults with CP. Objective: To analyze regular employment and employment rates (hours/week) in adults with CP and estimate their associations with manual ability

Introduction Autistic persons experience problems with movements and body awareness in everyday functionality, expressed in affected movement quality. Yet, there is a knowledge gap about the effects of interventions targeting these aspects in autistic persons. Objective To evaluate effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) and treatment-as-usual (TAU), compared to TAU alone on movement qualit

ALICE is a large experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Located 52 meters underground, its detectors are suitable to measure muons produced by cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere. In this paper, the studies of the cosmic muons registered by ALICE during Run 2 (2015–2018) are described. The analysis is limited to multimuon events defined as events with more than four detected muons (Nµ

What does the EU’s emerging outbound review architecture reveal about the future limits of Article 63 TFEU in third-country capital relations? This thesis argues that the outbound investment screening agenda of EU is best understood as a constitutional stress test for external dimension of the Article 63 TFEU. While the potential outbound screening framework still relies on a soft-law review and r

Objectives Little is known about figure skaters’ mental health. This study aimed to describe anxiety and depression caseness (defined as a screening condition qualifying for psychiatric examination) in competitive figure skaters and analyse factors associated with such caseness.Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in April 2019 among all competitive figure skaters in the south-eastern reg

Background: The growing use of digital primary care consultations has led to concerns about resource use, equity and quality. One of these is how it affects antibiotic prescription. Differences in ease of access for patients and available diagnostic information for the prescribing physicians are reasons to believe prescription rates may be affected. Objectives: We estimated differences in antibiot

Due to the large-scale production of lignin, continuous flow reactors are preferred for its further valorization through depolymerization. However, there is limited literature on their use in lignin depolymerization, especially concerning feedstock pretreatments and catalyst deactivation. Therefore, in this study, the impact of a batch solvolysis pretreatment on the mild reductive catalytic depoly

Global warming has greatly stimulated vegetation growth through both extending the growing season and promoting photosynthesis in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). Analyzing the combined dynamics of such trends can potentially improve our current understanding on changes in vegetation functioning and the complex relationship between anthropogenic and climatic drivers. This study aims to analyze the re

While several rating scales reliably and cost-effectively assess behavioral executive functioning (EF) in youths with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), questions remain about the impact of comorbidities and dual NDDs on EF as measured by these scales in clinical samples. This study compared behavioral EF profiles among youths with NDDs, both with and without psychiatric comorbidities, non-NDDs

The Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction about 66 Ma ago was one of Earth’s largest mass extinction events. The demise of calcifiers, among others, influenced biogeochemical cycles and changed the conditions for carbonate depo sition in the global ocean. This study addresses the sedimentology and carbonate microfacies of the Cerithium Limestone Member of the Rødvig Formation within the ren

The outcome of a procurement process largely depends upon how it was designed e.g. the terms and conditions that evaluates on what criteria a supplier is awarded a contract. In private sector procurement, evaluation of past performance is natural part of the evaluation process procurement. In public procurement there are more limited possibilities to evaluate past performance based on the rules an

We compare abundance ratio trends in a sample of ∼11,000 Milky Way bulge stars (R GC < 3 kpc) from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) to those of APOGEE stars in the Galactic disk (5 kpc < R GC < 11 kpc). We divide each sample into low-Ia (high-[Mg/Fe]) and high-Ia (low-[Mg/Fe]) populations, and in each population, we examine the median trends of [X/Mg] versus [Mg/

Introduction: The B-Natural study is a multicentre, multinational, observational study of haemophilia B (HB) designed to increase understanding of clinical manifestations, treatment and quality of life (QoL). Aim: To characterise and compare QoL in HB across disease severity groups and individuals with inhibitors to identify gaps in treatment. Methods: A total of 224 individuals from 107 families

OBJECTIVE: Digital self-management programs are increasingly used in the management of osteoarthritis (OA). Little is known about heterogeneous patterns in response to these programs. We describe weekly pain trajectories of people with knee or hip OA over up to 52-week participation in a digital self-management program.METHODS: Observational cohort study among participants enrolled between January

Background. Primary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare disorder and little is known about treatment practices and long-term outcome. Methods. Paediatric and adult nephrologists contacted through European professional organizations entered data in an online form. Results. Data were collected on 315 patients (22 countries, male 84%, adults 35%). Mutation testing had been performed in 270

OBJECTIVE:Recent advances in AI-based Large Language Models (LLM) can transform individuals’ descriptions of emotional health into numeric representations that predict rating scales with an accuracy approaching theoretical upper limits. This advancement enables examing various open-ended response formats. We develop and evaluate formats ranging from closed to more open: 1) selecting descriptive wo

BACKGROUND: Anemia has been suggested to be related with schooling outcomes in India. Less is known, however, about whether the observed relationship persists after accounting for all household-level factors which may confound the association between anemia and schooling.METHODS: Nationally representative data on adolescents aged 15-18 years with data on measured hemoglobin level and school attend
