Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th
Prior to the accomplishment of this research, the compatibility of the classic e-servicescape conceptual model in the context Taobao and TMall in China were rarely found among existing e-servicescape literatures due to the standardization taken by both online platforms towards the establishment of individual webshops. Meanwhile, the conceptualization of social factors as social dimension of e-serv
The #MeToo movement sparked a massive outrage amongst women in many western countries. Nevertheless, the movement did not gain as much media attention in asian regions. Japan is one of the countries that have generated international dialogue about this phenomena. The purpose of this study is to determine why #MeToo was not as successful in Japan as in many other countries and what the little outco
Purpose: To investigate the global burden of sepsis in hospitalized adults by updating and expanding a systematic review and meta-analysis and to compare findings with recent Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) sepsis estimates. Methods: Thirteen electronic databases were searched for studies on population-level sepsis incidence defined according to clinical criteria (Sepsis-1, -2:
PurposeSleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a relatively common disorder, but many patients with SAS are still undiagnosed. Using Japanese annual health check and medical claims data, we analyzed the association between hemoglobin upswing, defined as an increase in hemoglobin level within the reference range, and the incidence of SAS.MethodsIn this study, we used the Japan Medical Database Center (JMDC)
The digital transformation of the retailing industry in recent years has had a profound effect on consumers’ behaviour on a global scale. When shopping and browsing online, consumers are not able to “touch and feel”, which means that product returns are inevitable. The fashion industry has particularly suffered from high return rates, which fluctuate between 30% and 50%. The industry has been stru
Background: Studies on the incidence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among immigrant children and adolescents is limited and results are mixed. The aim of this study was to compare the ADHD risk between first- and second-generation immigrants aged 4–16 years and their native peers in Sweden. Methods: This was an open nationwide retrospective cohort study. We included 1,902,526 n
Agile methods have the recent years gained ground within the software industry by being lean and flexible, and one of the companies having adopted agile methods is the fast‐growing Swedish developer of mobile applications Tactel AB. The company was interested in enhanced knowledge within the agile area, specifically about Scrum, and with one of its development teams – Mobical – in focus, Tactel wa
Gorongosa Nationalpark ligger i de centrala delarna av Moçambique, närmare bestämt i Urema Graben som utgör den sydligaste delen av det Östafrikanska riftsystemet. Nationalparken kan beskrivas som ett omfattande ekosystem bestående av diverse flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter en lång period av inbördeskrig under senare delen av 1900-talet hade dock antalet stora däggdjur i områGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Graben. The Nhandugue River flows over the western margin of the Urema Graben, and marks the northwest border of Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. The study is focusedd on
Hydraulic balancing is key to ensure proper operation of the heating system. When the heating system is not hydraulically balanced, heat is unevenly distributed across dwellings resulting in a wide temperature spread, overheating, and consequently, wastage of energy. In this paper, we study to which extent hydraulic imbalance affects the thermal energy demand of buildings. Furthermore, key variabl
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine whether a novel semi-automated dataset based on electronic health record documentation can be used for surveillance of central venous catheter-related mechanical complications (failed catheterisation, bleeding, cardiac arrhythmia, pneumothorax and nerve injury) within 24 hours of catheterisation.METHODS: The semi-automated dataset comprised a fully
Objectives: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the incidence and prevalence of SSc covering the entire literature. Methods: This study followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement of 2009. We conducted a systematic search in MEDLINE, Web of Science and Embase to identify articles reporting incide

The research question is: How is care between generations – between grandparents, adult children and grandchildren – done during pandemic conditions? Background: In Sweden, where an extensive welfare state provides affordable child- and eldercare, the coro
The smart factories that are already beginning to appear employ a completely new approach to product creation. Smart products are uniquely identifiable and know both their current status and alternative routes to achieving their target state. Smart factories allow individual customer requirements to be met, meaning that even one-off items can be manufactured profitably. In smart industry, dynamic
