A major challenge for a person with diabetes is to adapt insulin dosage regimens and food intake to keep blood glucose within tolerable limits during daily life activities. The early knowledge about the effects of inputs on glycemia would provide the patients with invaluable information for appropriate on-the-spot decision making concerning the management of the disease. Against this background, i
The incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma has increased among adolescents and young adults in recent decades, but the relevant risk factors in early life are still unknown. A national cohort study was conducted of 3,571,574 individuals born in Sweden in 19732008 and followed up for Hodgkin lymphoma incidence through 2009, to examine perinatal and family risk factors for Hodgkin lymphoma in childhood throu
Allteftersom företag har börjat att ompröva sättet de designar, tillverkar och avyttrar produkter inom ramarna för hållbar utveckling så har tillverkare av akustiska produkter varit långsamma ur startblocken. Majoriteten av akustiska produkter är fortfarande primärt sammansatta av nyråvara från petrokemiska resurser, vilka har en signifikant påverkan på miljön. Det är problematiskt ur både en miljAs industries have begun to rethink the way they design, make and dispose of products for the purpose of sustainable development, manufacturers of acoustic products have been slow off the mark. The majority of acoustic products are still made of primarily virgin material made from petrochemical resources, which have a significant impact on the environment. This is problematic from an environmental
With rising powers on the global scene, foreign policy decisions are shaped by multiple theories of rationality. Culture and national identity are increasingly essential in actors’ decisions and play a significant role in foreign policy. This paper examines foreign policy rationality through the lenses of realism and constructivism, applying Mearsheimer and Rosato’s process-oriented definition of
This article examines the overlaps between the AI Act and the GDPR, analysing their overall relationship, conceptual similarities and differences, as well as specific provisions in the AI Act that explicitly overlap with the GDPR. The primary focus of this article lies on AI data governance, with a detailed analysis of the requirements set out in Article 10 AI Act. This provision establishes quali
Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can be defined as strategic processes encouraging entrepreneurial actions to support businesses in recognizing and exploiting new opportunities. Previous studies have shown that businesses with higher levels of EO, characterized through actions that are innovative, proactive and risk-affine, perform better than the ones that lack such orientation. Therefore, EO is
The first aim of this study is to investigate what it takes for a nonprofit association (NPA) to become a legal entity, specifically regarding requirements addressing decision-making organs within the NPA’s organization. Secondly, since within the legal framework of associations there exist general principles of law, this study also explores which general principles of law are applicable to a gene
This research delves into the burgeoning field of incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into investment strategies, spurred by a growing interest in sustainability and the demonstrated influence of ESG-related events on stock prices. Sanctify Financial Technologies is at the forefront of quantifying firms’ ESG performance, which plays a pivotal role in this study. Vari
Mesoporous cerium dioxide with high crystallinity has been synthesized and studied by TEM, SEM, nitrogen adsorption, PXRD, AFM, and SAXS. The catalytic properties of the materials have been investigated The results of the catalysis experiments were correlated with high resolution TEM investigations of the corresponding material, and it was found that the exposed crystallographic facets play an imp
This paper presents the manufacturing experience of an outer rotor permanent magnet synchronous machine with four different stators. The advantageous features of powder technology and molding techniques are tested when constructing and manufacturing the stators for a 28-pole 30-slot machine. The selected machine configuration is taking advantages of the concept of the modular windings and at the s
The separate treatment of sludge liquor, produced by dewatering anaerobic digested sludge at wastewater treatment plants, gives rise to extreme environments for nitrogen removal. A full-scale sequencing batch reactor was operated with the aim of introducing and studying denitritation as a supplement to nitritation in order to reduce operating costs. Since the main plant only has problems with ammo
A large outbreak of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections occured in southern Sweden during autumn 2002. A matched case-control study was performed and indicated an association between consumption of fermented sausage and EHEC infection (odds ratio 5.4, P<0.002). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis identified a strain of E. coli O157:H7 in clinical faecal isolates which was i
The day-to-day variation in oxygen consumption ((V) over dot O-2) during ergometer cycling by 20 healthy adolescents, 10 females and 10 males, was measured using indirect calorimetry. The two sets of measurements were performed on two consecutive days. Great care was taken to minimize possible disturbing factors. Cycling started at 50 and 100 W for female and male adolescents, respectively. The lo
Here, we describe the preparation, structure, and properties of cryogel sponges, which represent a new type of macroporous biomaterial for tissue engineering. Cryogels were produced through freeze-thawing techniques, either from agarose alone or from agarose with grafted gelatin. The aim of this study was to evaluate agarose cryogel sponges as scaffolds for Culturing both isolated pancreatic islet
This paper reports on a joint numerical and experimental investigation of the release of potassium from biomass during gasification process. In this work, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was adopted to measure quantitatively the concentration of potassium from gasifying biomass. The effect of temperature on the potassium release is investigated in hot gas mixture of CO2, H2O with diffe
