Plastic packaging provides enormous benefits for preservation and transportation of food and beverage products. However, recycling the multilayered packaging materials represents a challenge due to the complexity of separating the components making up the different layers. The drinks packaging, having aluminium (Al) as a light barrier placed between polyethylene layers inside the paperboard carton

AIMS: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of non-invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop variables by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for determining development of adverse remodelling 3 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 181 STEMI patients examined with CMR during the index admi

The legal opacity of AI technologies has long posed challenges in addressing algorithmic harms, as secrecy enables companies to retain competitive advantages while limiting public scrutiny. In response, ideas such as qualified transparency have been proposed to provide AI accountability within the confidentiality constraints. With the introduction of the EU AI Act, the foundations for human-centri

BACKGROUND: Medical students navigate a complex landscape of digital tools with potential to enhance learning. The main objectives of the current study were to investigate which digital resources are being used, which background factors are associated with utilization, perceived advantages and disadvantages of different digital resources, and explore future directions.METHODS: Cross-sectional, nat

Decades of criminological research have highlighted the principle that “place matters” when analysing crime dynamics. While acknowledging this, our study emphasises that place matters at specific times of the day and days of the week. This paper explores spatiotemporal patterns of assaults in public spaces in Stockholm, Sweden, using a time–space modeling approach. By segmenting annual crime regis

Delivery of antigenic peptides to antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is an attractive approach to evoke antigen-specific T cell activation and improve drug efficacy. Peptide linkage to mAbs has previously been achieved through genetic fusion, chemical conjugation, nano-engineered platforms and high affinity peptides. In this study, we h

Railway maintenance is crucial for ensuring system availability, punctuality, safety, and comfort. Though studies have shown that in reality, maintenance is 'imperfect'-inspections do not reveal all defects and repairs do not return components to as good as new and may even leave them in a worse state, railway maintenance planning is still based on periodic block-type and age-based maintenance pol

Albeit costly, flight allows birds to travel great distances in a short time, making it a highly effective mode of locomotion, especially during migration.1,2 Understanding how birds use energy during flight is essential for studying their flight ecology.3 To fly, birds flap their wings, accelerating surrounding air and generating flight forces, where the rate of energy added to the wake represent

Delar av den svenska arbetsmarknaden präglas idag av arbetskraftsexploatering, informalisering och arbetslivskriminalitet. Framförallt är migrantarbetare anställda inom bygg- och städindustrin utsatta och det är vanligt förekommande med icke utbetalda löner och utpressning (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2025). Trots detta har det fram tills nyligen varit tunnsått med initiativ från den etablerade svenska fac

Optimization of machining processes, such as milling, is essential for industrial efficiency and product quality. To achieve greater efficiency, it is necessary to understand how tools wear down in different conditions in order to anticipate possible undesirable events like sudden breakage or unpredictable degradation. This study focuses on understanding tool wear in dry milling of compacted graph

Privat städhjälp var tidigare ett marginellt fenomen på svensk arbetsmarknad. Precis som den kommersiella städningen så utfördes den framförallt av kvinnor och i synnerhet av invandrarkvinnor. Ersättningen var låg och utbetalades ofta svart och de som använde sig av privat städhjälp var i första hand välbärgade svenska familjer. För majoriteten av svenska hushåll var däremot städning och annat hus

The European Union’s aim to decarbonize the building stock by 2050 requires significant reductions in the energy use for space heating and cooling. One such solution to decarbonization could be energy sharing between buildings. This paper presents the potential for energy saving and subsequent reduction in carbon emission with a low temperature district network in an energy community based in Malm

In recent years, the study of body image shifted from focusing on the negative aspects to a more extensive view of body image. The present study seeks to validate a measure of positive body image, the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2; Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015a) in Denmark, Portugal, and Sweden. Participants (N = 1012) were adolescents and young adults aged from 12 to 19. Confirmatory factor

Background Exclusive breastfeeding is essential for infant health, yet its practice varies across generations and cultures. Although the health benefits of breastfeeding have been well known for decades, the utilization of infant formula feeding worldwide and in Oman, in particular, continues to rise, most likely as a result of a lack of social support and the time limit faced by working mothers.

Background: Unplanned pregnancy is significantly associated with an increased risk of perinatal depression (antenatal and postnatal depression), emphasizing its prevalence and its potentially detrimental effects on both maternal and child health. This study aimed to investigate the association of contraception use and pregnancy intention with the risk of perinatal depression among Omani mothers. M

Women immigrating with their children are a vulnerable group often exposed to ill health and a bad environment. In Europe, women from the Middle East have a complex situation, but immigrant women from low socioeconomic status backgrounds are at highest risk, also with regard to the perinatal period in life. In Sweden, all women independent of their immigrant status are offered free high-quality pe

Coloured sticky traps are commonly used to monitor insect pests. Colour affects trap performance, with preferred colours often differing between species, making selection of trap colour for effective management of multiple pests challenging. Greenhouse whitefly (GWF) Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Western flower thrips (WFT) Frankliniella occidentalis, are major horticultural pests that often co-oc
