Dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations have risen by a factor of two or more across much of Europe and North America during recent decades. These increases have affected the carbon cycle, light regime, drinking water treatability, and the energy and nutrient budgets of lakes and streams. However, while trends in DOM quantity are well characterised, information on how/whether qualitative pro

Regeneration of Norway spruce, Picea abies, forests is to a large extent depending on the production of seeds from high quality plus trees in orchards. However, the seed yield is variable and unpredictable due to weather, pest insects and diseases. Thus, more knowledge is needed to improve planning of harvest and mitigation of pests and diseases to secure future forest regeneration. In this study,

PurposeSexual harassment in contexts of higher education is a well-documented problem with far reaching consequences for individuals and organizations. Questions remain about how sexual harassment is conceptualized and what implications these conceptualizations have for designing programmes to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in university settings. This study aimed to understand how stude

Identifying potential moisture damage is crucial for maintenance practices and assurance of well-being of occupants. However, due to limited information availability and standardization, assessing damage prevalence on the building stock scale remains understudied. By combining investigation records and building databases, this study leverages data analytic techniques and machine learning modeling

The rapid rise of e-scooters (electric scooters) in cities around the world, boosted by the introduction of shared e-scooter services has visibly reshaped the way people move around cities, sparking both excitement and controversy. With the increase in popularity of these vehicles, concerns regarding their impact on traffic safety and accidents have become a rising public concern. In this paper, w

Objective Half of all adult emergency department (ED) visits with a complaint of dyspnea involve acute heart failure (AHF), exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), or pneumonia, which are often misdiagnosed. We aimed to create an artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic decision support tool to detect patients with AHF, eCOPD, and pneumonia among dyspneic adults at the beginn

Background: It is important to identify and evaluate cardiovascular risk factors at an early stage to address them accordingly. Among the younger population, the metabolic syndrome is less common than in older ages. However, each separate metabolic risk factor still has an additive effect on cardiovascular risk factor burden. Non-metabolic risk factors that occur in the younger population include

Background: Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are suggested to impair immune function in children. Previous studies investigating associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and common infections were performed in background-exposed populations whilst studies from high-exposed populations are lacking. Objectives: To investigate the association between prenatal PFAS exposure from contaminated

Introduction: The anatomical Lubinus SPII-stem is commonly used in hemi-arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures (FNF), combined with either the bipolar Variocup, the Unipolar Head (UH) and a newly introduced unipolar Modular Trauma Head (MTH). Similar constructs like the MTH are reported to have risk of corrosion and wear. This is the first publication evaluating the MTH. Aim: To describe the revi
