Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda. In response, digital health tools were rapidly adopted as one of the strategies to restore service delivery. However, the experiences of MNCH professionals implementing these adaptations remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore how MNCH professionals in Uganda experienced

This study explores structural modifications for reducing train-induced vibrations in timber buildings by modifying the building layout. A parameter study was conducted using a semi-analytical ground model coupled with a finite element structural model. The train load was modeled as a stationary oscillating point load of unit magnitude, applied on the ground surface. The analyzed frequency range,

High efficiency, low total harmonic distortion (THD), and near-unity power factor are essential for low voltage battery charging systems to satisfy modern power quality requirements. In this study, an isolated totem-pole power factor correction (PFC) integrated buck converter has been designed and analyzed for low-voltage battery charging applications. The proposed topology combines a bridgeless t

The European Union (EU) has recently presented several new legal proposals for promoting ecodesign and product labeling. The aim is to harmonize national practices and rules in the EU, to regulate issues like product lifetime and repairability in a more comprehensive way, to introduce new tools like digital product passports, and to introduce labeling schemes for repairability and durability. In p

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has previously been shown to be associated with cancer-related fatigue. If vitamin D deficiency affects fatigue in frail elderly has not been studied before. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between vitamin D, fatigue, frailty, and sarcopenia in frail elderly with cancer (FEC) and without cancer (FE) in comparison with healthy controls. Metho

In this article I call for an awareness of the mobile commons– the informal support that exists among migrating people, NGOs, and activists – in relation to the realization of family reunification. Taking its point of departure in a concrete case of family reunification for young unaccompanied children, the article seeks to expose how the traditional legal notion of the liberal subject fails to pr

Negated forms have been shown to cause a higher processing cost for language comprehension in the form of higher error rates and longer processing times. Studies that tested prefixal negation (e.g. unhappy) found conflicting results as to whether these forms are processed as negated forms or as single lexical items without any processing cost (Hoosain, 1973; Sherman, 1976, 1973). The present study

Importance: The effect of a physical property of irrigation fluid (at body vs room temperature) on recurrence rate in the evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) needs further study. Objective: To explore whether irrigation fluid temperature has an influence on cSDH recurrence. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a multicenter randomized clinical trial performed between March 16, 20

Background: Frailty is associated with poor 30-days survival after in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCA). The aim was to assess how pre-arrest frailty was associated with long-term survival, neurological function and patient-reported outcomes in elderly survivors after IHCA. Methods: Patients aged ≥ 65 years with IHCA at Karolinska University Hospital between 2013–2021 were studied. Frailty was asses

Purpose/Objective(s): Over 30% of advanced prostate cancers harbor a predominance of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) differentiation. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has numerous limitations in prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa-adeno), however there is no data that exists outside of isolated single person case reports to assess the utility of PET to restage and monitor

Infrared laser-induced grating spectroscopy (IR-LIGS) is a powerful method for the detection of molecules in atmospheric and combustion chemistry by exploiting their strong and species-specific fundamental vibrations. This work discusses potentials and limitations of the method.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been used by organizations and companies throughout the world since 1990. Many universities have recently replaced their legacy systems with ERP systems to improve work efficiency. One solution available for universities by way of management information system is the Campus ERP system. The Campus ERP system helps universities incorporate all departme

Nu för tiden använder människor världen över, medvetet eller omedvetet, molntjänster, där stora mängder personlig information placeras och lagras. Personuppgifter är en av de mest värdefulla tillgångar ett företag kan inneha, och således utnyttjar företag runt om i världen sådan personlig information för kommersiella syften. Samtidigt har statliga myndigheters övervakning av personer och insamlingToday, people all around the world, consciously or unconsciously, use services provided by cloud computing where large amounts of personal data is placed and stored. Personal data is one of the most valuable assets a company can hold, and therefore companies utilise such data for commercial purposes. At the same time, the surveillance powers and the collection of personal data have increased among
