Although many studies have shown that teachers' vocal health is challenged by noise and the room acoustics, research on classroom sound environment from the perspective of teachers' well-being is scarce. This study aimed to explore the relationship between teachers' wellbeing, voice use and classroom acoustics. In this study, wellbeing refers to self-reported vocal health, self-assessed level of s

Introduction: The current standard treatment for endometrial cancer is a laparoscopic hysterectomy with adnexectomies and bilateral sentinel node resection. A retroperitoneal vNOTES sentinel node resection has several theoretical potential advantages. These include being less invasive, leaving no visible scars, operating without Trendelenburg, and therefore offering the anesthetic advantage of eas

Music therapy is a “vocally demanding profession” [1, p. 46]. Currently, little is known about the prevalence and about the possible risk factors for voice disorders within music therapy. As music therapy workspaces may not always be ideal in terms of acoustics, the aim of the study is to investigate room acoustics and noise as risk factors for possible voice disorders among music therapists in Fi

Is circular economy a wonderful thing with no problems that can solve the climate crisis all by itself? Of course not. Can examining the problems with circular economy help us to better apply its principles and achieve better results?Yes. Dr Alison Stowell and colleagues Professor Hervé Corvellec and Dr Nils Johansson outline criticisms of the principle, and how they could help make the circular e

We program high-dimensional linear optical circuits within a commercial multi-mode fibre, turning it into a generalised multi-outcome measurement device, which allows us to both transport and certify high-dimensional entanglement within the transmission channel itself.

Objective: In this study, we propose a novel framework that utilizes deep learning and attention mechanisms to predict the radiographic progression of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) over a period of seven years. Design: This study included subjects (1832 subjects, 3276 knees) from the baseline of the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST). Patellofemoral joint regions-of interest were ident

Projektet har fokus på kvalitetskontroll av markstabilisering med elektrisk resistivitetstomografi (ERT). Stabilisering kan göras i form av KC-pelare, jetpelare, ytstabilisering och masstabilisering, genom inblandning av cement, kalk, slagg, flygaska eller kombinationer av dessa. Markstabilisering kan vara mycket attraktivt för såväl miljö som ekonomi, men det finns behov av bättre metoder för kva

In the later Middle Ages and early modern period, many European hospitals developed into commercial retirement homes that allowed investors to pay for lifelong food and lodging. Their clients consisted mainly of elderly citizens who decided to spend their final years enjoying a pension, often living by themselves or occasionally with a spouse. Corrodies can best be understood as life annuities in

Aims: To determine whether a family history of unexplained heart failure (HF) in first-degree relatives (children or sibling) increases the rate of unexplained HF. Methods and results: Using Danish nationwide registry data (1978–2017), we identified patients (probands) diagnosed with first unexplained HF (HF without any known comorbidities) in Denmark, and their first-degree relatives. All first-d

En populärvetenskaplig artikel om när Lunds universitet fick sina första telefoner, vart de gick och något kort om när universitetet dessutom fick börja betala för sin telefoni.

Anaerobic fermentation, compared to aerobic processes, remains the most scalable method for bioproduction of compounds. This is due to that aerobic microbial processes require large amounts of energy and are unable to satisfy the oxygen demand of a high-density microbial biomass. Thus, anaerobic microbes are readily scalable to large volumes. It was found that most anaerobic microbes have evolved

Plant production systems worldwide are struggling to meet the diverse and increasing needs of humankind while also facing challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This, combined with the desirable transition from the use of conventional pesticides to more sustainable plant protection solutions, has led to an urgent, and increasing, need for lowrisk plant protection products (PPPs)

Matching donor and recipient blood groups based on red blood cell (RBC) surface ABO glycans and antibodies in plasma is crucial to avoid potentially fatal reactions during transfusions. Enzymatic conversion of RBC glycans to the universal group O is an attractive solution to simplify blood logistics and prevent ABO-mismatched transfusions. The gut symbiont Akkermansia muciniphila can degrade mucin

In the first part of this thesis we study the behaviour of the equilibrium measure and the Birkhoff sums for a singular potential over the doubling map. A complete multifractal analysis for the the Birkhoff sums and the equilibrium measure (for the ’appropriate’ scaling) is given in Paper I. In Paper II we prove a parameter continuity property of the pressure function for a family of singular pote

Vi som skrivit denna text är en del av forskningsprojektet ILIT. ILIT undersöker hur folkbibliotek fungerar i en tid som präglas av sociala utmaningar. Exempel på utmaningar är segregation, diskriminering, ekonomiska åtstramningar och arbetslöshet. ILIT är en förkortning av Infrastructuring Libraries in Transformation. Projektet har genomförts i Sverige (Malmö), Nederländerna (Rotterdam) och Öster

En los últimos años, ha habido una “ofensiva” contra defensores ambientalistas en Uganda. Periodistas, estudiantes, campesinos y habitantes rurales están defendiendo su medioambiente, protestan y se movilizan contra el trato injusto y la migración forzada provocada por las infraestructuras para el combustible fósil, la agroindustria, energía hidráulica o la compensación de las emisiones de carbono
