Förlossningen är en omvälvande och minnesvärd livshändelse. Den nyblivna mammans fokus ligger på det nyfödda barnet, likaså vårdpersonalens. En förlossning kan leda till allvarliga skador på bäckenbotten (pelvic floor, PF), ibland med komplikationer som inkontinens. Tyvärr förbises eller tonas dessa skador ofta ned – både av nyblivna mödrar och vårdgivare. I Sverige drabbas ungefär 1–4% av kvinnorGiving birth is a profound life event. Most of the time, mothers move their attention to their newborn, as do healthcare providers. Childbirth can cause severe pelvic floor (PF) injuries, potentially leading to complications, such as incontinence. Despite their impact, these injuries are often deprioritised or normalised—both by postpartum women and healthcare providers. In Sweden, 1–4% of women w

Flat bands can induce strong electron correlation effects that help stabilize both magnetic and superconducting states. Here, we carry out angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations to study the electronic structure of the Co-pnictides CaCo2As2 and LaCo2P2. We find that the kz Fermi topology of ferromagnetic LaCo2P2 is markedly two-dimensional, while the a

Avian malaria parasites pose a significant threat to conservation, affecting populations worldwide. Despite this, our understanding of factors influencing the transmission of avian Plasmodium parasites by vectors is limited to the study of mosquito immune responses. However, the complex life cycle of Plasmodium within the vector suggests that non-immune physiological and metabolic pathways may pla

The particle-rotor model using strong coupling basis functions is briefly reviewed. Recent developments are discussed. For example, a formalism for odd-odd nuclei (and negative parity states in even nuclei) is presented. With a standard neutron-proton interaction, measured spins and moments of transitional and deformed Ho nuclei are used to extract their main configurations. Total energy calculati

A surge in societal and scientific discussion surrounds psychedelic research. One surprising fact keeps standing out: Many users report the psychedelic experience as a positive and lasting impact on their quality of life. The present study aimed to explore the quality and consequences of the most impacting psychedelic experience, with the user's Big Five personality in focus. This experienced samp

Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are a fast growing market of high performance materials and components. Thermally induced damage during machining processes such as drilling or routing are among the limiting factors for product quality, yet accurate temperature measurement remains challenging. This study develops a methodology which combines machinable thermocouples and IR thermometry techn

Based on an ethnographic research among contemporary Pagan communities in Southern Italy (Salento, Apulia), The Spider Dance challenges ideas of historicity, healing, place-making and the experience of time among persons engaged in reviving, continuing, or re-creating traditional Pagan practices. The Spider Dance looks at a specific Pagan group, the sisters of the cerchio (circle), and their ritua

Solar photo-voltaic (PV) and wind offer to bring both clean energy and clean water to remote regions and peri-urban areas in the world, outside the conventional electric grids. One out of seven people has no electric power available that would bring light to the home, cook the food, pump to access water and purify or re-use it. Off-grid systems are scalable and can be designed to any size, from ho

This article is concerned with the tenure track (TT) model, which has become increasingly used to extend the period of early career academics’ probation from one to five years across the EU. This article focuses on the TT in Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the oldest and most prestigious university in Ireland, one where gender equality has been embedded more consistently and where the pace of change

This open access edited volume discusses the impact of digitalization on taxation, using the Swedish welfare state model as a lens through which to examine the disruptive effect of new technologies on traditional tax models. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it integrates perspectives from economics, law, audit, and public policy to shed light on contemporary challenges in taxation. With Sweden

Throughout the last decades, the social responsibility of corporations has undergone significant changes. From revolving around self-regulation, voluntariness, and soft law, the regulatory landscape has expanded to involve harder demands on corporations, such as mandatory sustainability due diligence. This thesis considers these changes as a hardening of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and

Early kidney function decline may be associated with reduced filtration of middle-sized molecules, currently defined as selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), and driven by the accumulation of atherosclerosis-promoting proteins. We aimed to investigate whether SGHS and other markers of kidney function are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis as evaluated by intima-media thickn

The EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy has been described as flawed or even non-existing by many critics due to its intergovernmentalist nature. One of the latest incidents illustrating the CFSP's malfunction came about in 2003 after the US decided to engage in a war against Iraq. The failure of the EU to generate a unified stance regarding the decision on how to act in Iraq was put f

The European integration is one of the spectacular historical events. The result that has been obtained would be virtually impossible for any other regional organization to achieve. However, the continuation of this accomplishment depends upon some premises. Throughout this study, the crucial dynamics of the last two decades, which have rekindled the integration endeavor, are questioned from the n

The purpose of this research paper was study to what extent English language-culture has impacted the lifestyle of contemporary Chinese women in urban area. To be more elaborate, this research aimed at finding out how deep English and Western culture behind the language (as perceived by Chinese people) has filtered into the women's life, how large it has immersed, and how far and to which dire

Focusing on the aging situation in urban Shanghai, China, this paper analyzes the changes and development in the elderly care policy concerning aspects of pension insurance, medical care insurance and the housing system. The elderly care situation in Shanghai was examined in order to find out the challenge to the traditional way of elderly care, and to see what the government has done to improve t

The Baltic Sea is a common in an international system. As the prisoners dilemma and the tragedy of the commons show, there are special problems connected to the protection of commons. The Baltic Sea suffers from eutrophication, and a cooperation between the states bordering to it is necessary to stop it. Can the EU overcome the problems of the commons, and coordinate the environmental protection o

This paper centers on visual imagery and the hypothesis put forward by Laeng & Teodorescu regarding imagery or visualization. The hypothesis states that scanpath done during perception of an object or scene is reenacted during imagery of the same object or scene. In addition it claims that the reenactment has a positive functional role in memory retrieval. This paper cannot confirm nor refute

Chemical management services (CMS) is an application of the Product Service System in the chemical sector. It is a new business model based on a long term relation between customers and service suppliers, who both have the same goal of reducing the costs and volume of chemicals used in the customer's processes. CMS started in the early 1980's in the US and transferred to Europe later. CMS
