Children with disabilities and medical conditions are at an increased risk of injury or death during road vehicle transportation. In 2020, a national Australian survey of health professionals and organisations involved in the safe transport of children with disabilities and medical conditions identified a critical need for improved access to training, education, and resources. In response, Mobilit

This article provides a review of the application of stomatal frequency analysis to fossil leaves in the reconstruction of past atmospheric CO2 concentrations. It presents the physiological basis of the method, an overview of its application to leaves of Quaternary age, and an assessment of its potential and limitations. It also includes a description of the successive stages in a stomatal frequen

This chapter critiques the widespread belief that technological innovations and green consumerism are sufficient to achieve sustainability. The authors show how techno-optimism creates lock-ins in policy and business and reassures consumers that superficial changes are enough, while ignoring structural drivers of unsustainable consumption. The chapter explores the consequences of techno-optimism a

OBJECTIVE: Explore women's subjective perceptions of healing from perineal tears in childbirth, with a particular focus on infection-related symptoms.METHODS: Women enrolled in a randomized-controlled-trial (ClinicalTrials, NCT02863874) were invited to complete a questionnaire at one- and eight-weeks postpartum. Infection-diagnosis was obtained separately through medical records.RESULTS: 1462 wome

Understanding the basic biology of both a host and the pathogens they are afflicted by is a prerequisite for the development of effective clinical interventions. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, remains one of the leading causes of disease worldwide. Despite extensive research, the appearance of highly drug-resistant bacterial strains and the prevalence of HIV co-in

The construction sector plays a decisive role in shaping cities and economies, accounting for over one-third of global resource consumption, waste generation and emissions. In response, the circular economy has emerged as a systemic alternative to the prevailing linear “take-make-dispose” model, promoting strategies such as reuse, refurbishment and design for disassembly to retain material value a

The 2022 edition of Lund Architecture Symposium (LAS22) will engage in (re)activating architectures. During recent years, architecture has frequently been used to communicate the ramifications of contemporary life and culture. Rarer is the communication of architecture’s role within these ramifications. Responding to this dilemma, this symposium will explore architecture that takes a much more act

Background: The prevalence of contact allergy in individuals with diabetes and diabetes medical device (MD) users is unknown. Objectives: This study (Part 1 and 2) aims at describing contact allergy prevalences in diabetes MD users. Methods: Adults with type 1 diabetes from two endocrinology departments were patch tested with the Swedish baseline series (SBS) and a MD series. Contact allergies to

This paper is concerned with a recently proposed scalable protocol for vehicle platooning, known as the serial consensus protocol. This achieves coordination of second-order integrator systems through a series connection of first-order conventional consensus protocols, and has been theoretically shown to have advantageous stability and performance properties. We implement this protocol on a vehicl

Traces of movement - a landscape archaeological study of a hollow way system in Genarp. Hollow ways constitute some of the most prominent traces of historical movement in the landscape. Despite their relatively common occurrence it is often difficult to interpret their function, social meaning and age. The aim of this essay is to investigate how a system of hollow ways situated in Genarp, Scania

Cement hydration kinetics are controlled by clinker composition, water addition, sulfate availability and fineness. The analytical access to the first hour of hydration is limited. Here a new setup is introduced to record the initial 30-60 minutes of hydration on a routine basis with isothermal calorimetry. Fast isothermal calorimetry is fully quantitative. Reproducibility is reported in terms of

Background: Hypertension management guidelines provide recommendations for optimal patient care. However, the limited time available of clinicians is rarely considered. The aim of this study was to evaluate the time clinicians currently spend on different components of hypertension care during an average workday and to assess physicians’ perceptions of the time required for optimal, guideline-base

Background: Severe Alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), phenotype PiZZ, is a leading cause of liver disease in neonates, children, and adults. Nevertheless, the prevalence of liver disease and mortality within PiZZ adults remains unclear. Between 1972 and 1974, a cohort of 129 individuals with severe AATD (PiZZ) was identified through the Swedish national screening of 200,000 newborns. The cohor

Detta examensarbete undersöker tappvattenskador i byggnader inom en kommun i södra Sverige under 2022, särskilt hur dessa drabbar LSS-boenden. Syftet var att kartlägga förekomsten av sådana skador och identifiera om vissa byggnadstyper eller orsaker innebär högre risk. Studien baseras på analys av rapporterade vattenskador från den studerade kommunen under 2022. Skadorna delades in i tre kategorieIn 2022, a municipality in southern Sweden recorded many water-damage incidents linked to domestic drinking water systems. This thesis reviewed the municipality’s reported cases and highlighted LSS housing (supported housing for people with disabilities). The work combined data analysis with an expert interview and a drawing review of one selected LSS residence. Kitchens and bathrooms were the mos

The environmental impact of the textile industry is immense, and textile waste is accumulating globally at an unprecedented rate. To address this issue, innovative technologies for handling, sorting, and recycling textile waste are crucial. This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the recycling of cellulosic textile waste through both closed-loop and open-loop pathways. Closed-loop recycling

Den omvälvande förändring som banade väg för det som kommit att kallas kunskapsekonomin har lett till en omfattande avindustrialisering av de regionala ekonomierna. Den har omformat grundvalarna för de lokala arbetsmarknaderna och förändrat riktningen i den regionala ojämna utvecklingen och löneskillnaderna. Mycket av den akademiska debatten har dock antingen grundats i nationella studier av lönesThe transformational change that ushered in what became known as the knowledge economy has led to widespread deindustrialisation of regional economies. It has reshaped the foundations of local labour markets and shifted the momentum of regional uneven development and wage inequalities. Much of the academic debate, however, has either been grounded in national-level studies of wage disparities or f
