BackgroundResearch is limited on registered healthcare professionals (RHCP) usage of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) in Swedish municipal primary healthcare work.Aim/ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to increase the understanding of experiences, attitudes, and conditions of usage of research and implementation of EBP among RHCPs in a Swedish municipality setting. Further, the study ai
The power take-off (PTO) system and control laws for wave energy converters (WECs) are crucial for system performance. Determining optimal PTO parameters based on different sea states is key for formulating control laws, identifying optimal WEC locations, and optimizing wave-to-wire performance. This study focuses on an oscillating water column (OWC) type WEC developed by Waves4Power using a buoy
Existing datasets for autonomous driving (AD) often lack diversity and long-range capabilities, focusing instead on 360° perception and temporal reasoning. To address this gap, we introduce Zenseact Open Dataset (ZOD), a large- scale and diverse multimodal dataset collected over two years in various European countries, covering an area 9×that of existing datasets. ZOD boasts the highest range and
We report on a twisted aromatic polymer,the first xanthene-based example bearing protonated imidazole groups. Its specialarchitecture enables superior ion selectivity, conductivity, and chemicalstability, providing excellent performance in both all-vanadium and iron-vanadiumredox flow batteries.
Although urban scenario planning is widely applied for exploring various directions of urban development, it often has high requirements on the medium of quantitative information analysis and transformation. Thus, this study establishes a method of combining scenario planning with a spatial dynamic planning support system to predict urban growth. Specifically, a scenario-based spatial dynamic mode
Lead (Pb) is a global contaminant associated with multiple adverse health effects. Humans are especially vulnerable during critical developmental stages. During pregnancy, exposure to Pb can occur through diet and release from maternal bones. Apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) variants (ɛ2, ɛ3, ɛ4 alleles) may influence sex steroid hormones, bone metabolism, and Pb kinetics. We examined the interplay am
The longitudinal motion and the intramural shear strain of the arterial wall increase dramatically in response to blood pressure, thereby impacting the vascular wall microenvironment. Exposure to a sedentary lifestyle has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but it has been shown that intermittent physical activity embedded into everyday life is enough to impro
Electric road systems (ERSs) present a transformative advancement in transportation electrification, offering continuous charging capabilities for electric vehicles (EVs) during travel. This innovation has the potential to significantly mitigate range anxiety by enabling in-motion charging, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of electric mobility, and reducing the frequency of charging stops
BACKGROUND: The increasing longevity of people with intellectual disability creates a need for a healthy-ageing perspective, translated into evidence-based interventions in this multi-morbidity group. Accordingly, the aim of this scoping review was to identify, summarise and analyse the empirical research on healthy ageing in older adults with intellectual disability.METHODS: This review was based
Research on how children are affected by their sibship size, i.e., their number of siblings, faces a serious hurdle because sibship size is endogenous in the model. The current “gold standard” method to solve this is to use (parity-specific) twin births as instrumental variables. The purpose of this chapter is twofold. Firstly, it introduces instrumental variable methods in general. Secondly, it a
In northern countries, the climate, and consequently the use of studded tyres and winter traction sanding, causes accumulation of road dust over winter and spring, resulting in high PM10 concentrations during springtime dusting events. To quantify the dust at the road surface, a method—the wet dust sampler (WDS)—was developed allowing repeatable sampling also under wet and snowy conditions. The pr
Background: The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) platforms has rapidly increased. The number of B-lines present on lung ultrasound (LUS) serve as a useful tool for the assessment of pulmonary congestion. Interpretation, however, requires experience and therefore AI automation has been pursued. This study aimed to test the agreement between the AI
The increasing demand for renewable energy accounts for the DC microgrid concept, facilitating the integration of photovoltaic (PV) modules and battery energy systems (BESS) into a common DC bus. In light of this, bipolar DC-DC converters can result in two symmetric DC buses that provide more flexibility. This article presents a hybrid bipolar converter by merging a single-ended primary-inductor c
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the role of managers and employees with an assigned responsibility (i.e. inspirers) when integrating recovery-enhancing activities into everyday work in a primary health care setting. Background: The possibility of recovery during the workday is essential for employee wellbeing. However, the literature on workplace interventions focusing on recovery is sca
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the ‘normality’ of our everyday lives, but it did so in the wake of a series of crises within the capitalist system, which worsened the conditions for a liveable world for many while benefitting only a few. In response to these crises, the contributions in this issue highlight the diverse ways activists continue to organise in the midst of social, political, and eco
Background: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) predict coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death, all of which are also related to sodium intake. We studied estimated sodium intake and PVC frequency in the randomly selected population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study cohort. Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we included 5636 individuals with 24-hour
Background and aim: Circular economy (CE) practices in the built environment require integrating strategies such as life cycle assessment (LCA), cradle-to-cradle (C2C) principles, stakeholder collaboration, and the 10R framework to enhance resource efficiency and minimize environmental impacts across the entire building. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive framework that systematicall
We present a high-repetition rate, atttosecond light source, emitting controlled short trains of attosecond pulses. We apply this source to the study of photoionization of atoms using a 3D photoelectron/ion coincidence spectrometer.
