Herglotz functions inevitably appear in pure mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering with a wide range of applications. In particular, they are the pertinent functions to model passive systems, and thus appear in modeling of electromagnetic phenomena in circuits, antennas, materials, and scattering. In this chapter, we review the basic theory of Herglotz functions and its applications t

Introduction: Sport-related concussions (SRC) have been a concern in all sports, including soccer. The long-term effects of soccer-related head injuries are a public health concern. The Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) released a consensus statement in 2017 and several soccer governing associations have published their own SRC guidelines while referring to it but it is unclear whether this has bee

This chapter unpacks the complex and contested nature of ‘irregular labour migration’ and explores the meaning and analytical rigour of this conceptualisation. We discuss four social positions: 1) authorised migrant regular worker, 2) authorised migrant irregular worker, 3) unauthorised migrant irregular worker and 4) unauthorised migrant regular worker. Using the distinctions between informalisat

Objective: Assessing psychological pain is crucial for evaluating suicide risk. This study examined differences in psychological pain between patients with suicide attempts, those with suicidal ideation, clinical, and non-clinical controls using a newly translated German version of the Mee-Bunney Psychological Pain Assessment Scale (MBPPAS). Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with two i

Lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS) genomgick år 2022 en reform som bland annat innebar en förändring av regleringen för uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl i 7 § LAS. Syftet var att öka förutsebarheten för både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare vid uppsägningar. Med hjälp av rättsdogmatisk metod syftar uppsatsen till att analysera och kartlägga reformen i förhållande till uppsägning på gruThe Employment Protection Act (LAS) underwent a reform in 2022 which, among other things, involved a change in the regulation regarding dismissals on personal grounds in Section 7. The purpose of the reform was to increase predictability for both employers and employees in cases of dismissals. Using a legal dogmatic method, the thesis aims to analyse and map the reform in relation to dismissal on

The ESS linac is under construction by the ESS partner institutes (socalled In-Kind Contributors - IKC) and will operate the most powerful proton beam ever for neutron spallation source. The linac delivers 5 MW via 2 GeV protons at a repetition rate of 14 Hz at the He-cooled solid tungsten target. The pulsed neutrons, result of the spallation, will reach the science instruments after having been m

ObjectivesPeople with serious illness approaching end of life often end up in emergency and hospital care, frequently against expressed preferences. Consequently, oncology trials record care days as a measure of treatment burden called “time toxicity.” However, this measure ignores the diminishing marginal utility of time: that the value of a day is higher when fewer remain. We aimed to incorporat

Growing evidence of the microbiome's importance for plant ecology highlights the need for conservation strategies that consider both plants and their microbial partners, the holobiont. Population genomics are valuable tools for designing conservation strategies but rarely accounts for host- or site-specific microbial interactions. Orchids, with their dependence on specific mycorrhizal fungi, exemp

Introduction: Suicidal behavior results from a complex interplay of psychiatric, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and structural factors and requires coordinated approaches across care sectors. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is widely regarded as essential for bridging gaps in care, yet profession-level descriptions of how IPC is organized and where structural bottlenecks occur in suicide preve

In this paper, we explore signs on toilet doors. Our aim is to contribute to an enhanced understanding of how goals and ambitions regarding inclusion are realised in design processes. We identify and outline three patterns for inclusive signage: 1) Addition, where inclusive signage is accomplished by adding more pictograms of different persons, 2) Combination, where inclusive signage is accomplish

Aim: Does metabolic control improve in children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), when modifying the quality of carbohydrates by introducing low glycaemic index (GI) foods? Methods: The inclusion criteria for the study was children with diabetes mellitus type 1, age from 7 to 11 years old, they should have a moderate glucose control with HbA1c between 7,5 to 8,5 and no allergy to ce

Attneave's (1968) pointing triangle illusion consists of a display of ipsilateral triangles. Perceiving the display results in the illusion that the triangles point in a certain direction. Spontaneous switches in pointing direction are observed. Blink frequency significantly decreases before the switches witnessing for a nonspecific preparation process to perceptual and motor response events. Sacc

Background: A substantial proportion of women with breast cancer (BC) experience a wide range of long-term persistent and troublesome side effects related to the disease and its treatment. The ReScreen randomized controlled trial is conducted aiming to evaluate the effect of early screening of distress followed by individualized rehabilitation after primary BC treatment.Purpose: To examine recruit
