The uptake of circular and sharing economy is accelerating, especially in cities and urban areas. Sharing is considered as one of the key strategies in circular economy, and a way to deliver social impact. This study explores the emergence of sharing business models in the real estate industry. The aim is to establish how novel business models are introduced in an urban development project. We emp
Testing autonomous driving systems for safety and reliability is essential, yet complex. A primary challenge is identifying relevant test scenarios, especially the critical ones that may expose hazards or harm to autonomous vehicles and other road users. Although numerous approaches and tools for critical scenario identification are proposed, the industry practices for selection, implementation, a
In this essay I argue that with too few alternative approaches, the strong feminist epistemological habit of attending to the political utility of art risks placing representations of subjective narratives whose emancipatory qualities might be unclear or doubtful out of scholarly reach. Feminist art historian Irit Rogoff discusses how feminist art historians are inclined to acknowledge visual repr
In order to ensure punctual and robust service, it is vital to have a good understanding of the current performance of a railway network. Several approaches to doing so exist but lack the ability to compare both service and station performance in a single dimension. The study presented here proposes the use of the Rasch analysis technique within an operational context to compare the relative dwell
The increased electrification of society and the development of smart grids are often seenas central in the transition towards a more sustainable and secure energy system and necessaryto address the challenges of increasing energy demand and limited resources. Thereare many visions and ideas on what a smart grid is or could be. While most research relatedto environmental impacts on the smart grid
Aim: An increasing number of patients survive rectal cancer, resulting in more patients living with the side-effects of the treatment. Exploring quality of life before and after treatment enables follow-up and additional treatment to be adjusted to the patient's needs. The aim of the study was to describe the quality of life during the 24 months following diagnosis and to identify risk factors for
High-quality diets have been increasingly acknowledged as a promising candidate to counter the growing prevalence of mental health disorders. This study aims to investigate the prospective associations of adhering to the EAT-Lancet reference diet with incident depression, anxiety and their co-occurrence in 180,446 UK Biobank participants. Degrees of adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet were translated
According to popular understandings, children grow from a state of dependence to eventually become independent adults. Interdependence helps to disrupt the in/dependence binary and is a useful concept for making sense of the experiences young people with variations in sex characteristics in relation to healthcare. This study used semi-structured interviews with 32 health professionals, 33 caregive
Testing of autonomous driving systems (ADS) is a crucial, yet complex task that requires different approaches to ensure the safety and reliability of the system in various driving scenarios. Currently, there is a lack of understanding of the industry practices for testing such systems, and also the related challenges. To this end, we conduct a secondary analysis of our previous exploratory study,
This study builds on analyses of everyday professional practices to explore de-bordering and re-bordering processes in the field of gender-based violence (GBV). The concepts of de-bordering and re-bordering practices express the tensions arising from the conflictual roles taken on by civil society actors (CSAs) in their double vest of service delivery for the state and advocate for migrant women w
Urban Lives emphasizes the importance of a micro-level approach in examining the lives of individuals and families in an industrial city, spanning over a century. The work deepens the understanding of major societal shifts and how they are intertwined with demographic behavior over the past 120 years. These societal transformations encompassed groundbreaking advancements in living standards, a rel
The increasing global concern for greenhouse gas emissions has led to a fast pace in the transition away from fossil fuels in the transport sector. The share of electric passenger cars is increasing quickly, introducing new loads on the power grid. These loads primarily appear at the distribution grid level, where most of the charging occurs in the form of overnight charging at home. Although the
In some languages, prosodic cues on word stems can be used to predict upcoming suffixes. Previous studies have shown that second language (L2) users can process such cues predictively in their L2 from approximately intermediate proficiency. This ability may depend on the mapping of the L2 prosody onto first language (L1) perceptual and functional prosodic categories. Taking as an example the Danis
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is associated with other autoimmune endocrine diseases such as type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CeD). Thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (TPOA) are biomarkers of AITD but may also occur in patients with other autoimmune diseases. We examined cross-sectional correlations between TPOA and an array of immune markers in a cohort of 90 children with exclusively
BACKGROUND: The climacteric is the period in a woman's life that includes the transition from reproductive to non-reproductive. The woman's experience is individual, but common symptoms include irregular bleeding patterns, hot flashes, sweating, and sleep problems. Primary care should be the first instance for women seeking treatment for menopausal symptoms, and the district nurse thus plays a vit
