The dominant narrative on equity, diversity, and inclusion in U.S. medical research emphasises the underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic participants in clinical trials, largely based on therapeutic phase 2 and 3 trials. Far less attention has been paid to phase 1 trials—particularly those involving healthy volunteers who assume health risks without therapeutic benefit, often for money. Focusi
Non-invasive methods for measuring thermal tolerance and thermoregulation in large numbers of individuals under natural environmental conditions are useful to understand the capacity of species to adapt to future climate scenarios. Infrared thermography (IRT) is one such tool in research on thermal adaptation, but concerns have been raised about its reliability, specifically the correlation betwee
Simulations are an indispensable tool in physics because they complement experiments, especially complex ones. Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) is such a complex experimental setup. In CMDS, the molecular system of interest interacts with two to four coherent laser pulses and the generated emission provides information about the energetic structure and the relaxation dynamics of the p
BACKGROUND: The variable penetrance of breast cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers suggests that other genetic or environmental factors modify breast cancer risk. Two genes of special interest are prohibitin (PHB) and methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), both of which are important either directly or indirectly in maintaining genomic integrity. METHODS: To evaluate the potential role of ge
Gadus Morhua, or commonly referred to as cod, in the Baltic Sea has been experiencing a decline in population for many years due to factors such as overfishing and eutrophication. To combat the decline in population, the people of Hanö torskrevsförening has placed several artificial cod-reefs in Hanöbukten outside the eastern coast of Sweden to study the effect they have on the cod population. The

Purpose: To investigate whether repeated issuance and a foreign currency influence the yield spread. Methodology: An ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions is impl
The structure-agency debate in the social sciences is pervasive in policymaking; in recent policy paradigms and in their consequent macro-level policies. The present study attempts to study how in the latest two policy paradigms, neoliberalism and social investment respectively, the structure-agency debate has undergone changes in Swedish Government Official Reports, which investigate the integrat
Understanding how sympatric species partition resources is critical for biodiversity conservation, particularly in vulnerable ecosystems. As Arctic ecosystems undergo rapid climate change, understanding how animals use space and select habitats becomes essential for effective conservation planning. Advances in technologies can now provide high-resolution data on species movements and habitat use,
Current structural fire engineering practice generally assumes that the pre-flashover fire (growth) stage has a negligible influence on structural response and therefore considers only post-flashover conditions. The Eurocode parametric fire, widely used for structural fire design, follows this approach. This thesis investigates the influence of incorporating pre-flashover temperature on the therma
Amid overlapping global crises, many individuals experience psychological distress, anxiety, hopelessness, and a diminished sense of agency. Scholars increasingly argue that this erosion of perceived significance may be as consequential as climate change, biodiversity loss, polarization, and political turmoil, as it stems from a growing disconnection or alienation from self, others, and nature at
