Although digital technology (DT) is often introduced with the aim of enhancing organizational knowledge transfer and learning, these aims often fail to materialize. The information systems (IS) literature attributes such unexpected outcomes to inappropriate technology design and implementation, as well as to overuse, misuse, and non-use of technology. However, we know little about how actors misus

Background: Women with intellectual disability (ID) may encounter barriers to exercising reproductive agency, self-care during pregnancy, and accessing healthcare to optimize pregnancy outcomes. However, there is to date little evidence to guide policy and practice. We aim to fill this identified knowledge gap by examining pregnancy outcomes among women with ID in comparison with women from the ge

Intensification of forest management to increase production of biomass has resulted in considerable habitat degradation with negative impacts on insect biodiversity, including beneficial insect groups such as pollinators. Yet, little is known about how reliant forest understory plants, such as bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), are on insect pollinators for reproduction. Here, we quantified the struc

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is associated to cognitive decline and dementia. Neuroimaging changes of CSVD are highly prevalent above 80 years. Only few studies report on incidence of CSVD in high age. We have investigated the incidence and prevalence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of CSVD and risk factors in the general older population.METHODS: As

Arterial stiffness (AS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in the older population. AS results in increased pulsatile pressure, elevated pulse pressure (PP), and is linked to hypertension. PP is a surrogate for AS. The kidney has low vascular resistance mechanisms, presumably making it vulnerable to the increased pulsatile pressure and hypertension associated with AS. The aims of this stu

Background: The utilisation of digital technology in primary healthcare, particularly digital patient management platforms, has gained prominence, notably due to the global pandemic. These platforms are positioned as substitutes for face-to-face consultations and telephone triage. They are seen as a potential solution to the escalating costs associated with an aging population, increasing chronic

Background: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) is a crisis-management intervention standardized for individuals with self-harm at risk of suicide. We analyzed its health-economic consequences. Materials and methods: BA plus treatment as usual (TAU) was compared with TAU alone in a 12-month randomized controlled trial with 117 participants regarding costs for hospital admissions, coercive measur

Background: Commuting, transportation from the home to the work place has been claimed to increase the material wealth. Although economy and flexibility to choose where to live and work will improve for the individual, several studies have shown that health become aggravated with increased commuting. One plausible explanation to the negative health is reduced social capital. Aim: Our primary hypot
