This article examines the way the notion of labour regime in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) research can contribute to new ways of conceptualising this sector's challenges. It starts by reviewing how the phenomenal expansion of ASM over the last decades has been problematised, and highlights the need to better understand what drives artisanal miners to operate under extremely precarious wo

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly infiltrating multiple areas in medicine, with gastrointestinal endoscopy paving the way in both research and clinical applications. Multiple challenges associated with the incorporation of AI in endoscopy are being addressed in recent consensus documents. Objectives: In the current paper, we aimed to map future challenges and areas of research fo

Objectives. This study assessed the management approach and outcome of the pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads malpositioned in the left heart. Malpositioned leads (MPLs) may have deleterious consequences, and appropriate management remains uncertain. Methods. The study population included all patients referred to a single institution for MPL in the left side of the hea

International mobility programs have long served as tools to achieve economic and diplomatic objectives. In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is an increasing emphasis on scholarship programs and education as means to build capacity and reduce poverty. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) reflects this shift through several bilateral resea

Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in nearly half of infants born at less than 26 weeks' gestation. Up to 50% of survivors with IVH develop cerebral palsy, cognitive deficits, behavioral disorders, posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation, or a combination of these sequelae. After the initial bleeding and the primary brain injury, inflammation and secondary brain injury might l

The article discusses the phenomenon of urban abandonment as a result of environmental hazards. Seen as an outcome of environmental drivers, the underlying assumption is that a characteristic of environmental hazards is their spatial and temporal constancy of impact, whereby processes and phenomena having taken place in the past have their analogies in the present. In order to generate insights fo

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Stroke genetic research has made substantial progress in the past decade. Its recovery application, however, remains behind, in part due to its reliance on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score as a measure of poststroke outcome. The mRS does not map well to biological processes because numerous psychosocial factors drive much of what the mRS captures. Second, the mRS co

We synthesized policy implications of tourism and hospitality research by reviewing 12,269 articles published in 10 leading journals from 2012 to 2021. The most common rationale for policies (i.e., the why) is market failure, while the most typical role of policies (i.e., the how) is to create incentives. In addition, policies are typically hybrid and include suggestions for formal and informal in

The main concern of this thesis is to experimentally investigate the turbulent flow and heat transfer in a ribbed channel. Such flows are encountered in many engineering applications, e.g., gas turbine cooling. In order to highlight the physical mechanism of flow separation, only one wall of the channel is fitted with periodic ribs. The inter-rib spacing is set such that the reattachment is allowe

Among the three recently described GB viruses (GBV-A, GBV-B, and GBV-C), only GBV-C has been linked to cryptogenic hepatitis in man. Because of the limited utility of currently available research tests to determine antibody response to GBV-C proteins, the prevalence of GBV-C RNA in human sera was studied using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The prevalence of GBV-C is hig

Comparative proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins was employed for studies of the pathophysiological mechanisms in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used for clinical screening of disease-influenced CSF proteins in 15 FTD patients compared to 12 controls. Six proteins were significantly altered in FTD compared to contro

Queer/ed children and young people inhabit a space that seems nicely delineated by shamed biographies, fearful prospects and ignorance. In mainstream accounts, queer/ed children and young people are often un/represented through invisibility or drama, between exoticism and pity. ‘Children’ and notions of ‘the best interest of the child’ are used to dramatize and limit societal negotiations of sexua

Sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon sugars which contain a carboxyl group and a glycerol chain. Neu5Ac is the most common sialic acid in humans and occurs at the terminal position of glycoconjugates covering the cell surface. Neu5Ac is involved in several different processes in the human body and plays an important role in several physiological conditions and pathogenic diseases. Sialic acid is

Oppenheimer describes The Act of Killing as a ‘documentary about the imagination. We are documenting the ways we imagine ourselves, the ways we know ourselves’. This research analyses the documentary films The Act of Killing (Director Oppenheimer, co-directors Christine Cynn and anonymous 2012) and The Look of Silence (director Oppenheimer 2014), and the documentary imaginary. The research combine

The ability to identify craft specialization in the archaeological record has wider ramifications for the study of prehistoric society, since it is apparent that there is a certain relationship between the organization of craft specialization and social complexity. The aim of the project is to determine if craft specialization was present in pre-Iron Age southern Scandinavian society and to descri

Background: In 2007 the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute of Cancer Research (AICR) issued 8 recommendations (plus 2 special recommendations) on diet, physical activity, and weight management for cancer prevention on the basis of the most comprehensive collection of available evidence. Objective: We aimed to investigate whether concordance with the WCRF/AICR recommendati

Popular Abstract in Swedish De möjliga energinivåerna en elektron kan befinna sig i är olika för olika atomer och joner, en atom där en eller flera elektroner kastats ut. Detta kommer att medföra att det utsända ljuset, spektret, från en atom/jon kommer att vara unik för varje atom/jon, på samma sätt som vi människor har var sitt unikt fingeravtryck. Om man tittar upp på stjärnhimlen en klar vintNew measurements of the elements Ba, Fe, Ga, In and Ru are reported. The analysis of barium contains new wavelengths, improved energy level values and new values of the ionization limit in both Ba I and Ba II. Oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes in Fe II, as a part of the FERRUM project, are reported. The gallium analysis includes new wavelengths, ab initio calculated oscillator st
