BACKGROUND: Thirty-eight years of pediatric heart transplantation (pHTx) within the Scandiatransplant organization were analyzed to describe volume trends, regional prevalence, underlying etiologies and outcomes following listing and pHTx.METHODS: Children <18 years listed for pHTx from January 1st 1986 to December 31st 2023 were identified in the Scandiatransplant registry. The cohort was split i

As the field of neural organoids and assembloids expands, there is an emergent need for guidance and advice on designing, conducting and reporting experiments to increase the reproducibility and utility of these models. In this Perspective, we present a framework for the experimental process that encompasses ensuring the quality and integrity of human pluripotent stem cells, characterizing and man

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the possibilities of minimising waste generation in the healthcare institutions in Kaliningrad, Russia. In order to meet this purpose the following research question is investigated: what kind of drivers are enforcing and which barriers are hindering waste minimization in the healthcare sector in Kaliningrad? The research carried out among public and priva

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) combined with immune receptor analysis is a significant breakthrough in immunology, enabling detect of gene expression and T-cell receptor (TCR) at the single-cell level in the same sample. However, current "gold standard" methods like 10x Genomics 5' V(D)J rely entirely on fresh samples, which severely limits their application in clinical studi

The Neumann–Neumann method is a commonly employed domain decomposition method for linear elliptic equations. However, the method exhibits slow convergence when applied to semilinear equations and does not seem to converge at all for certain quasilinear equations. We therefore propose two modified Neumann–Neumann methods that have better convergence properties and require fewer computations. We pro

Product design requirements are becoming more and more complex, while the number of available materials is increasing. Polymeric materials are still dominant in many applications, replacing other manufacturing materials. Gears are one of the mechanical parts that are increasingly made of plastic. To effectively replace metal materials, the design process and product material must meet all applicat

A novel isolation and purification method was developed for producing 1,3-propanediol with high purity and high yield from the mixture containing 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-propanediol, glycerol, and glucose. The developed method, which consisted of phase separation and chromatography, was found to be a simple and efficient procedure for the isolation and purification of 1,3-propanediol from the other c

Nano-LEDs, with sizes smaller than 1 μm and close to sub-wavelengths, have received increasing attention because of their potential applications in next-generation self-emissive displays, visible light communication, optogenetics, maskless lithography, on-chip super-resolution microscopy, etc. In contrast to the top-down fabrication of nano-LEDs, where the efficiency drop caused by dry-etching rel

Nonoverlapping domain decomposition methods have been utilized for a long time to solve linear and nonlinear elliptic problems, and more recently, parabolic problems. Despite this, there is no convergence theory for nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations on general Lipschitz domains in Rd, d ≥ 2. We therefore develop a Steklov–Poincaré theory for nonlinear elliptic and parabolic problems and s

Fruit juices are widely consumed due to their affordability, nutritional value, and convenience. As global health consciousness rises, the fruit juice market is projected to grow from $153.17 billion in 2024 to $209.51 billion by 2029. Membrane processes, first introduced in the 1970s, have become essential in juice production, offering precise separation at low temperatures. The fruit juice indus

A common and huge challenge in risk and disaster management such as urban flood is the lack of effective communication, especially instant communication from the general public when sudden flooding occurs. There is a strong need to facilitate complementary risk management for authorities to communication with public in addition to mainstream channels. In a recent international project, possibility

Low-carbon behaviour changes are essential for achieving the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5° Celsius. Increasingly, it is recognised that such behaviour changes cause further effects in individuals' lifestyles, which are important to understand for the success of such low-carbon behaviour changes. Rebound effects can occur that undermine the carbon savings, and individual well-bein

We extend and strengthen a theorem of Bates that says that row-finite graphs that are strong shift equivalent have Morita equivalent graph C*-algebras. This allows us to ask whether our stronger notion of Morita equivalence does in fact characterise strong shift equivalence. We believe this will be relevant for future research on infinite graphs and their C*-algebras. We also study in-splits and o

This paper addresses the consensus problem and the formation problem on SE(3) in multi-agent systems with directed and switching interconnection topologies. Several control laws are introduced for the consensus problem. By a simple transformation, it is shown that the proposed control laws can be used for the formation problem. The design is first conducted on the kinematic level, where the veloci

A Python package to evaluate Wannier, Wannier–Stark, and EZ (both energy and location Z resolved) levels for quantum cascade lasers is presented. We provide the underlying theory in detail with a focus on the orthonormality and periodicity of the generated states.

PURPOSE: Obesity is associated with a wide range of chronic illnesses and disabilities familiar to rehabilitation researchers and practitioners. Obesity discourse in the area of rehabilitation science and practice is limited.METHOD: A meeting of rehabilitation researchers, practitioners, industry and decision makers was held for the purpose of identifying research and practice priorities in the ar
