Drug-resistant bacterial infections are among the most severe physiological challenges facing human health. Therefore, the detection and inactivation of pathogenic bacteria remains a crucial therapeutic goal in modern society. In this study, we design multifunctional nanocomposites aimed at bacterial binding, fluorescence labeling, and synergistic antibacterial treatment. These nanocomposites are

What do we know about youth climate activism in India? Given the country’s rich history of environmental activism and the recent increase in youth climate groups, the literature on youth climate activism in India is surprisingly scant. The present review systematically identified eight studies focusing specifically on young people’s climate activism in India post-2019. An in-depth comparative read

We introduce a new database of historical Genuine Savings (GS), an indicator of sustainable development promoted by theWorld Bank and widely used in contemporary economic research. GS derives from the theoretical work on wealth accounting, and addresses shortcomings in conventional metrics of economic development by incorporating broader measures of saving and investment, including human capital (

The aim of this final chapter is to assemble the key insights of the contributions in the book into a comprehensible Nordic approach towards place branding that can be distinguished from other approaches in the field. Nordic place branding is situated conceptually, empirically and epistemologically in the field by offering a manifesto for research in which the peculiarity of the Nordic, as we have

Weak decentralization, authoritarianism and limited economic development in small towns in Uganda have been seen as key obstacles to political inclusion. However, small towns in theory also hold hope for political inclusion due to the potential for more direct citizen engagement and flexibility to be able to respond to citizens' needs. Drawing on 58 focus groups, 24 key informant interviews, and t

Weather radars detect more than weather, they also continuously register the movements of billions of animals aloft in the lower atmosphere. This makes archived, unfiltered weather radar data a goldmine for biological monitoring purposes, providing coverage of the aerial habitat in a way no other method can. Here we present two datasets of biological data extracted from European weather radar data

Introduction: Economic and socioeconomic factors are key influences on a wide range of integration outcomes, including educational performance, the immigrant-native wage gap, susceptibility to sepsis, and the risk of developing drug use disorders. Understanding the interplay of these factors is important for developing policies that enhance immigrants’ integration.Aim: The thesis consists of four

The goal of this article is to investigate how authors in the Swedish literary field respond to predominant public discourses related to migration and how a shift has occurred from the 1970s to the present regarding the ascription of ethnicity to authors and their works. Earlier categorizations such as “immigrant author” and “immigrant literature” have become obsolete. Instead, the concept of raci

This article analyzes the immediate and long-term effects of medical humanities teaching at a Swedish medical degree program. The objectives, format, and core pedagogical ideas and practices of an elective course in medical humanities are presented, situating the learning experience in the wider context of medical humanities in the Nordics. We conducted a qualitative, thematic analysis of course e

Background Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels are associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common variants of 27 genes linked to VWF or FVIII plasma levels in genome-wide association studies. Methods Exon sequences of 27 genes linked to plasma levels of VWF or

During mechanical ventilation (MV), the interplay between abdomen and thorax has been studied unilaterally focusing on the effect that an increased abdominal pressure would have on the thorax. Only a small cluster of studies offered a different perspective showing a lower inflammation and a better lymphatic clearance of edema in abdominal organs when spontaneous breathing was applied compared to M

Människor har skapat arkiv i över 4 000 år – för att organisera tillvaron, förstå omvärlden och föra kunskap vidare. Arkiven präglas av sin tids värderingar, men de utgör också de mest trovärdiga källorna till historien, skriver företrädare för Universitetsbiblioteket i Lund, Statens musikverk och Svenska Unescorådet .

När president Trump nyligen fryste drygt 2 miljarder dollar i forskningsmedel till Harvard University var det ett strategiskt drag i en större kamp för att forma akademin politiskt. Att ledningen på Harvard står upp för sin frihet är både modigt och nödvändigt för att forskning alls ska kunna vara fri framöver. När Trump stryper Harvards och andra universitets finansiering, visar han med all önskv

In this study, a coupled transient thermomechanical finite element model is developed to examine the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process of the Inconel 718 (IN718) and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) superalloys (ODS-IN718). The linear isotropic elastic perfectly plastic constitutive model is implemented for the mechanical part whereas all the thermophysical properties are defined as fully

In this study, a bond-based fully coupled thermomechanical peridynamic framework is implemented to study the fracture toughening of stop-holes in brittle materials subjected to thermomechanical loads. The developed modelling approach aims to provide comprehensive guidance about thermal effects on the fracture toughening mechanism of inclusions under realistic engineering conditions. First, the mod
