Middle managers often find themselves in a challenging position: They have to impress different audiences in somewhat incompatible ways and represent and enact managerial ideals and expectations that may be detrimental to their work identities. This study explores role distancing as an alluring coping strategy. Role distancing – acts that express separateness between the individual and the enacted
Aim: To increase survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA), great efforts are made to improve the number of voluntary first responders (VFR). However, evidence of the potential utility of such efforts is sparse, especially in rural areas. Therefore, the aim was to describe and compare response times for emergency medical services (EMS), fire and rescue services (FRS), and VFR during OHCA
Natural selection is notoriously dynamic in nature, and so, too, is sexual selection. The interactions between phytophagous insects and their host plants have provided valuable insights into the many ways in which ecological factors can influence sexual selection. In this review, we highlight recent discoveries and provide guidance for future work in this area. Importantly, host plants can affect
Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka föreställningar om nedväxtsamhället som ett alternativ till grön tillväxt för att förstå och hantera klimatkrisen. Med utgångspunkt i aktuell tillväxtkritisk forskningslitteratur undersöks hur författare har föreställt sig ett framtida samhälle präglat av nedväxt. Artikelns analytiska ansats är att söka urskilja mönster och tendenser genom en systematisk gThe purpose of this article is to investigate how sociological imagination can be put to work for creating notions of the radically different as an alternative to the contemporary strategy of green growth for understanding and managing the climate crisis. Based on current growth-critical research literature, it examines how a number of authors have envisioned a future society characterized by degr
Arctic clouds are sensitive to atmospheric particles since these are sometimes in such low concentrations that clouds cannot always form under supersaturated water vapor conditions. This is especially true in the late summer, when aerosol concentrations are generally very low in the high Arctic. The environment changes rapidly around freeze-up as the open waters close and snow starts accumulating
Increasing nutrient concentrations (eutrophication) and water color due to dissolved organic matter (brownification) pose continuous threats to freshwater ecosystems worldwide, threatening ecosystem services like drinking water supply. Changing the increasing trends of eutrophication and brownification on our aquatic ecosystems is challenging. However, constructed wetlands could be a potential loc
Non-aqueous precipitating amine systems for carbon capture allows for CO2 desorption at lower temperatures than conventional aqueous amine systems and can potentially reduce the energy requirement for regeneration. In this work, the influence of water accumulation that may arise from humid gases entering the absorption column was investigated for absorption systems containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-pr
Autophagy is an essential quality control mechanism for maintaining organellar functions in eukaryotic cells. Defective autophagy in pancreatic beta cells has been shown to be involved in the progression of diabetes through impaired insulin secretion under glucolipotoxic stress. The underlying mechanism reveals the pathologic role of the hyperactivation of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), w
BACKGROUND: To clarify, in a national sample, associations between risk for seven psychiatric and substance use disorders and five key transitions in Sweden's public educational system. METHODS: Swedish-born individuals (1972-1995, N = 1 997 910) were followed through 12-31-2018, at mean age 34.9. We predicted, from these educational transitions, risk for major depression (MD), obsessive-compulsiv
IntroductionSpeech in children with cleft palate can be affected by velopharyngeal dysfunction, which persists after primary palate repair. The incidence of surgery to correct velopharyngeal dysfunction in this patient group has previously been reported as 2.6–37%. We aimed to investigate the incidence of velopharyngeal dysfunction surgery in Swedish children with cleft palate and to examine poten
Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of recurrent granulosa cell and Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study performed at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico, IRCCS, Rome (Gemelli center). Patients with a histological diagnosis of recurrent granulosa cell tumor o
Impairment of intestinal epithelium is a typical feature of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes leakage of bacteria and antigens from the intestinal lumen and thus results in persistent immune activation. Hence, healing and regeneration of the damaged gut mucosa is a promising therapeutic approach to achieve deep remission in IBD. Currently, available systemic therapies have moderate effe
We present a radial velocity (RV) analysis of TOI-1136, a bright Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) system with six confirmed transiting planets, and a seventh single-transiting planet candidate. All planets in the system are amenable to transmission spectroscopy, making TOI-1136 one of the best targets for intra-system comparison of exoplanet atmospheres. TOI-1136 is young (∼700 Myr), a
Long-span floors are particularly sensitive to footfall-induced vibrations, making their analysis and design critical for ensuring occupant comfort. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels have high stiffness relative to their self-weight and are commonly made of spruce. Hardwoods such as birch and beech possess higher stiffness and mass density, which can potentially improve the vibrational performan
Softwood species are the most commonly used species in structural applications in north-ern Europe. However, in the last couple of years, utilization of hardwoods has gatheredincreased momentum, and different hardwood species, such as birch, have even been uti-lized in cross laminated timber and glued laminated timber [1]. In general hardwoodsshow an increase in strength and stiffness as compared
Background: Medical student master’s theses are often carried out as research projects, and some are published as research papers in journals. We investigated the percentage of master’s theses conducted by 5th -year students at the Medical Degree Program at Lund University, Sweden, that subsequently served as the basis for research publications. In addition, we explored both student and supervisor
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Individualized and timely advice on how to cope with thermal stress is therefore needed to encourage protective strategies and reduce morbidity and even mortality among vulnerable populations. Such advice can be based on integration of human thermal models, weather forecasts and individual user characteri
Sveriges neuropsykologers förening: Ökningen av adhd-diagnoser är ett samhällsproblem som inte kan lösas enbart av vården, och lösningen finns knappast i en växande mängd av utredningar, diagnoser och medicinering.
