One part of the objective is to analyze how different ventilation systems perform in practice when it comes to supplying and exhausting designed air flow in different outdoor and indoor conditions. The other part is to analyze the design criterias and the energy use of a variable air volume system based on controlled static pressure at the branch duct level and supplying outdoor air only. To inves
The planetary changes associated with the Anthropocene, including climate change and extinction of species, pose severe threats to civilization, humanity, and the natural world as we know it. They also pose special challenges to the human imagination. To meet these challenges, climate change communicators use narratives. Nonfiction books intended for a general audience employ two radically differe
Background: Symptoms have been identified as a core outcome domain for atopic eczema (AE) trials. Various instruments exist to measure symptoms in AE, but they vary in quality and there is a lack of standardization between clinical trials. Our objective was to systematically evaluate the quality of the evidence on the measurement properties of AE symptom instruments, thereby informing consensus di
Background: Previous studies support a tumor-suppressor role for LRRC3B across various types of cancers. We aimed to investigate the association between DNA methylation of LRRC3B and overall survival (OS) for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: This study included 1,230 patients with early-stage NSCLC. DNA was extracted from lung tumor tissues and DNA methylation
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity, attention problems, and difficulties with social interactions. Pharmacological treatment may alleviate the symptoms of ADHD but this rarely solves difficulties with social interactions. Children with ADHD may benefit from interventions designed to improve their social skills.We
Legionellae are bacteria that naturally exist in freshwater environments, but have also been found in seawater and soils. Legionella can cause illnesses such as Legionnaires' disease or Pontiac Fever where the Legionnaires' disease is a severe variant of Pneumonia and Pontiac Fever is a milder influenza like variant. Legionella bacteria can grow in domestic hot water systems (DHW systems) and in oLegionellae are bacteria that naturally exist in freshwater environments, but have also been found in seawater and soils.Legionellacan cause illnesses such as Legionnaires' disease or Pontiac Fever where the Legionnaires' disease is a severe variant of Pneumonia and Pontiac Fever is a milder influenza like variant.Legionellabacteria can grow in domestic hot water systems (DHW systems) and in order
Barnobesitas är sedan flera år ett ökat hälsoproblem bland barn. Obesitas vid 4 års ålder ger en kraftigt ökad risk för obesitas senare i livet. Att förebygga uppkomst och utveckling av obesitas är en långsiktig investering för framtiden. Idag finns ingen evidensbaserad metod för vägledning inom barnhälsovården för att främja hälsosamma levnadsvanor och förebygga obesitas hos förskolebarn. Det övePrevention of childhood obesity with its effects on children’s mental and physical health and well-being is an international public health priority and is suggested to be effective when started early. As Child Health Services lack an evidence-based model, there is the need for development of a low-intensive health promotion model that is feasible and cost-effective in preventing obesity in prescho
Context: Medications may become inappropriate for patients in the last phase of life and may even compromise their quality of life. Objective: To find consensus on recommendations regarding deprescribing of medications for adult patients with a life expectancy of six months or less. Methods: Experts working in palliative care or other relevant disciplines were asked to participate in this internat
Introduction: Planning cranioplasty (CPL) in patients with suspected or proven post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) poses a significant management challenge due to a lack of clear guidance. Research question: This project aims to create a European document to improve adherence and adapt to local protocols based on available resources and national health systems. Methods: After a thorough non-systema
Turbulent breakup in emulsification devices is a dynamic process. Small viscous drops undergo a sequence of oscillations before entering the monotonic deformation phase leading to breakup. The turbulence-interface interactions prior to reaching critical deformation are therefore essential for understanding and modeling breakup. This contribution uses numerical experiments to characterize the criti
Background: The combination of diphenylcyclopropenone (DCP) and anthralin may demonstrate synergistic effects in the treatment of chronic extensive alopecia areata (AA).Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of the combination therapy of topical DCP and topical 0.5% anthralin versus topical DCP alone for the treatment of chronic extensive AA.Materials and Methods: Ten pa
This study uses a novel approach to identifying local contextual conditions conducive, alone or in combination to far-right political violence. The studied case is asylum housing attacks occurring in Sweden 2015-16. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of eighty-six Swedish municipalities, forty-two of which have experienced arson attacks against refugee housing facilities, we operat
Background: Some groups of migrants have increased vulnerability to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission partly due to a lower uptake of disease preventive activities targeting the general population in receiving country. Limited access to economic and social resources and poor language skills may exacerbate exposure to sexual risks and utilizat
Klimatpåverkan och dess effekter är ett högaktuellt ämne för alla branscher och industrier särskilt för bygg- och fastighetsbranschen som år 2021 stod för 22% av utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige (Boverket, 2024a). Visserligen har det skett en minskning av utsläppen för branschen sedan 2008 men behovet av att bygga nya bostäder är stort samtidigt som byggkostnaderna i Sverige blir dyrare och dyrThe impact of climate change and its effects is a current topic for all industries, especially the construction and real estate sectors, which accounted for 22% of greenhouse gas emissions in Swedenin 2021 (Boverket, 2024a). Although emissions from the sector have decreased since 2008, the need for new housing is significant, and construction costs in Sweden are rising more and more every year. T
Introduktion. Patienter med bipolär sjukdom har ofta kognitiv funktionsnedsättning, vilket predicerar nedsatt psykosocial funktion. På senare tid har behandlingsprogram i funktionell remediering tagits fram, i syfte att avhjälpa detta.Forskning rörande acceptans av kognitiv dysfunktion saknas. Föreliggande studie syftade dels till att undersöka psykosocial funktion och grad av acceptans av kognitiIntroduction. Cognitive functioning of patients with bipolar disorder is often impaired, predicting impaired psychosocial functioning. Lately, programs of functional remediation attempting to address these difficulties, have been developed. Acceptance of cognitive dysfunction has not been scientifically explored. The present study aimed at investigating psychosocial functioning and acceptance of c
Bakgrund: Långvarigt stillasittande och bristande ergonomi är vanligt bland universitetsstudenter och kan påverka både välmående och stressnivåer. Undersökningar har gjorts kring upplevd stress som fastställt att måttlig eller mer stress förekommer frekvent bland studenter. Separat har undersökningar kring studiemiljö gjorts och frekvent finns det brister i denna. Tillsammans har studiemiljö och u

Barnarbete var ingen ny företeelse i och med den industriella revolutionen. Tidigare barnarbete hade bland annat skett i jordbruket och inom hantverksyrken. Utnyttjandet av minderårig arbetskraft kom dock att förändras, då tekniken kom att förbättras. Fabriker växte fram och kom att sysselsätta barnen. Tekniken skapade jobb åt minderåriga, men det var också tekniken som kom att undanröja de minder
The AI Commission prescribed a governance model, namely centralized leadership, to tackle existing digitalization challenges, as outlined in the Roadmap for Sweden at the end of 2024. This research discussed the implications of the Roadmap for Sweden on welfare governance within the Automated Decision-making (ADM) context as interpreted through a Weberian theoretical and methodological framework.
