Background: Approximately 15% of Canadian adults live with two or more chronic diseases, many of which are obesity related. The degree to which Canadian obesity treatment guidelines are integrated into chronic disease management is unknown. Methods: We conducted a 12-min online survey among a non-probability sample of 2506 adult Canadians who met at least one of the following criteria: 1) BMI ≥30
Understanding regional variation in public transport preferences is essential for designing efficient mobility systems. This study examines the stability of preferences for both traditional public transport and demand-responsive transport across three Swedish regions–Stockholm (urban), Skåne (intermediate), and Värmland (rural)–using discrete choice experiments. The analysis focuses on key service
Cu-based ternary catalysts often outperform their binary counterparts in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Unraveling the underlying synergistic effects among multiple components remains challenging and requires comprehensive operando characterization. In this study, we present a detailed investigation into the synergistic Cu−Zn−Zr interactions in inverse ZnZrOx/Cu catalysts, which show strong
The construction industry is a major contributor to resource consumption and waste generation in the EU, making the transition to circular construction essential. Reuse of building products is an important circular strategy, but large-scale implementation is hindered by limited market maturity and uncertainty regarding product availability. This study aims to investigate the gap between reported a
The diagnostic accuracy of AIDOC-VO, the first commercial artificial intelligence tool for intracranial large-and medium-vessel occlusion (LVO/MeVO) detection on head-and-neck CT angiography (CTA), was evaluated in a multicenter emergency setting. A prospective diagnostic-accuracy study of 3,031 adult CT angiograms (mean age, 67.3 years ± 16.4 [SD]; 1,549 females) acquired March-July 2024 across a
The power systems of drilling rigs have changed considerably since the early days of steam driven machinery. This paper reviews that progression, from mechanical and diesel electric configurations through to modern hybrid and renewable integrated systems, with a focus on the power conversion technologies that enable each stage. Coverage includes the electrical architecture of drilling rig power sy
For developing and implementing innovations that improve a firm's environmental performance ('eco-innovation'), external knowledge and technologies, and hence the openness of a firm, are crucial. This paper analyses the factors that drive eco-innovation in firms, drawing special attention to the firm's ability to implement new ways of working within the organisation ('workplace innovation'). Based
Blood biomarkers have the potential to revolutionize Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, offering advantages over CSF and PET due to their accessibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness. This study evaluated the effectiveness of individual plasma biomarkers, such as phosphorylated Tau (pTau) 217, as well as biomarker combinations, with a focus on the pTau 217/β-Amyloid (Aβ) 1–42 ratio to predict amy
PurposeIn the transformation to the circular economy, circular logistics nodes are becoming increasingly important to, for example, match supply and demand, coordinate flows, increase logistics efficiency and customer utility, and reduce environmental impact. The purpose of this study is to expand our theoretical understanding of the circular retail transformation and its implications for circular
The healthcare systems of today are facing large challenges, with increasing amounts of patients and overworked hospital staff. Prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most prevalent diseases, with incidence numbers expected to rise over the coming decade. Medical imaging plays a central role in current diagnostic procedures for these diseases, enabling the potential use of machine-
The rise of solo living presents significant social and environmental challenges, particularly in high-income countries like Denmark where nearly half of households are single occupancy. This study explores the social dynamics driving the trend towards living alone through in-depth interviews with 23 individuals living alone in Denmark. Pathways to solo living include urban relocation, aging out o
As some insect groups are declining at alarming rates, accurate and automated insect monitoring is needed to prioritize habitats for conservation. The dual-band entomological Scheimpflug lidar technique is a promising candidate method for real-time insect monitoring: it allows the detection of thousands of flying insects per day at high temporal and spatial resolutions. The signals contain a pleth
Light extinction is widely used to study particles in sprays, soot-forming combustion, and multiphase reactive flows. However, quantitative interpretation of extinction signals remains challenging when particles have a sufficiently large scattering albedo, meaning that incident photons are scattered much more than they are absorbed. This is especially true when experiments involve large apertures
We present PyeLink and SyeLink, two complementary open-source Python tools for running eye-tracking experiments and parsing data from SR Research Ltd. EyeLink eye tracking hardware. PyeLink simplifies experiment creation through plug-and-play support for multiple display backends (Pygame, PsychoPy, Pyglet) while enabling two features not available in existing tools: recording data during calibrati
Title Factors for success : a study of school libraries at compulsory schools and how to integrate them in the education Abstract This Master's thesis aims to identify success factors for the integration of school libraries in the education. The search for factors are concentrated to three areas: control documents for the school and school library, the Principal and organisation and the col
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geografiska informationssystem på internet är ett relativt nytt fenomen som främst har utvecklats från ett behov att distribuera geografisk data, dvs utbyte av digitala geografiska data och tillhörande tjänster. Men det är även ett kraftfullt verktyg för att presentera information på internet. Detta examensarbete i naturgeografi syftar till att skapa en webbaGIS on the Internet is a rather new phenomenon, which has evolved from the need of distributed geographical data. It is also a powerful tool for presenting information on the Internet. This master thesis aim to create a web based GIS application with information on lime spreading and the situation concerning acidification in the county of Kronoberg, Sweden. The web based GIS application will be us
Bakgrund/Frågeställning: Den nynazistiska grupperingen Nationalsocialistisk Front var i slutet av 1990-talet mycket aktiv i Karlskrona kommun i Blekinge. Kommunen svarade genom att lansera ett program man kallade "att visa demokratins muskler" för att bekämpa grupperingen. Detta arbete gick ut på att kommunen genom tillämpning av den befintliga lagstiftningen ville försvåra för nynaziste
