Background: The use of unique national personal identification numbers (PIN) for linkage of medical records across health facilities and population-based studies is limited in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. The disintegration of healthcare research with different participant identifiers creates methodological challenges in linking data from multiple sources to answer a diverse range of policy
Ultrasmooth solution-processable quasi-2D perovskite thin films are of critical importance for many optoelectronic devices. In this work, we fabricated an ultrasmooth intermediate-phase free quasi-2D (PEA)2(FA)n−1PbnBr3n+1 perovskite film by using antisolvents with different polarities and boiling points to engineer the crystallization process. The XRD patterns of the perovskite powder showed that
Researchers selecting probands for molecular genetic studies confront a range of sampling issues with modest empirical guidance. In this paper, using cases of major depression (MD), anxiety disorders (AD) alcohol use disorder (AUD), drug use disorder (DUD), bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ) from a large population cohort of all native Swedes born 1940–2003, we examine the implications o
The compositions of alternative jet fuels can vary radically, and the consequences of these differences are a subject of ongoing investigation. Numerical combustion simulations are vital to this research and require chemical reaction mechanisms that efficiently and accurately capture the chemical pathways of combustion. Here, we present the recently developed Z79 collection of small pathway-centri
Staphylococcus aureus remains one of the most elusive targets in bacterial vaccinology, primarily due to its complex immune evasion strategies and the phenomenon of immune imprinting. Despite decades of research and numerous clinical trials, no vaccine has demonstrated protective efficacy in humans. This review examines the underlying reasons for these failures and proposes a rational, integrati
Halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a transformative photovoltaic technology, achieving unprecedented power conversion efficiencies. However, the development of electron-transport materials (ETMs), particularly organic ETMs, has significantly trailed behind the rapid progress in hole-transport materials (HTMs). Among the organic ETMs, naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based systems stand
The efficiency and stability of wide bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are constrained by photo-induced halide segregation and severe non-radiative recombination, which significantly impedes the advancement of high-efficiency and stable perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTSCs). In this work, a potassium 4-sulfonic-1,8-naphthalic anhydride salt (4S-NAPS), featuring dual-anchoring si
Background: Endocrine science remains underrepresented in European Union research programmes despite the fundamental role of hormone health in human wellbeing. Analysis of the CORDIS database reveals a persistent gap between the societal impact of endocrine disorders and their research prioritisation. At national funding level, endocrine societies report limited or little attention of national res
This study introduces a novel approach for synthesising a surface-imprinted polymer-ordered mesoporous silica adsorbent, known as SiO2@MIPs-CAPcr, with high selectivity for chloramphenicol (CAP) adsorption by employing an activator that was regenerated by electron atom transfer radical polymerisation (ARGET ATRP). Optimal synthesising conditions for SiO2@MIPs-CAPcr have been determined, including
Self-stabilized, heterometallic pair-sites can enable fine-tuning of catalytic functionality while also mitigating dynamic structural changes that degrade catalytic performance. This study demonstrates the development and characterization of trimetallic PtxCrxAg1-2x (x ≤ 0.1) alloys with active Pt–Cr pair-ensembles for non-oxidative ethanol dehydrogenation, leveraging predictions that favorable bo
Aim: Children born extremely preterm frequently have developmental coordination disorder (DCD). We aimed to evaluate perinatal risk factors for DCD. Methods: Swedish national cohort study including 226 children born before 27 gestational weeks without major neurodevelopmental disabilities at 6.5 years. Outcome was DCD, defined as ≤5th percentile on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Seco
The Swedish publishing house Svensk läraretidnings förlag published the extensive book series Barnbiblioteket Saga (the Children’s Library Saga) between 1899 and 1970. In this article, the publisher’s less extensive book series Ungdomens bibliotek (the Library of Youth) is analysed as an example of the marketing techniques that the publishing house used to reach different target gr
The lung is a vital and dynamic organ that serves as a critical first barrier to environmental stimuli and facilitates gas exchange from birth until death. Developmental or genetic defects that impair lung function severely impact quality of life. Minor defects present in early life increase the likelihood that patients will develop chronic lung diseases in adulthood that have no cure. Current the
This article studies the maximum likelihood estimates of magnitude and scale parameters for a Gaussian process of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type used to model a deterministic function that does not have to be a realisation of an Ornstein- Uhlenbeck process. Specifically, we derive explicit expressions for the limiting values of the maximum likelihood estimates as the number of observations increases. The
Background: We aim to estimate population-attributable fractions (PAF) for 13 comorbidities potentially predisposing to hepatobiliary cancer of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gallbladder cancer (GBC), cancers of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts (ICC and ECC), and ampullary cancer. Methods: Patients were identified from the Swedish Inpatient Register from 1987 to 2018 and cancers from
The significance of neutron spin adiabaticity in the data analysis of polarized Grazing Incidence Small Angle Neutron Scattering (GISANS) is discussed, with the aim of minimizing the number of simulation parameters of complex magnetic models within the neutron scattering cross-section. We illustrate how an estimate of the neutron polarization direction and adiabaticity can be obtained by magnetic
