Background/Objectives: Older patients are more susceptible to the process of understanding and retrieving information. To provide adequate preoperative information, reduce their vulnerability and anxiety, and thereby facilitate pre-, intra-, and postoperative care, the adoption of new information technologies is essential. This study aimed to explore elderly patients' experiences and perceptions o
Normally, the measurement limit for luminescence analysis of quartz is 50-70 ka with the most widely used single aliquot regeneration (SAR) protocol, consequently, the dating of MIS 3 and MIS 4 samples or older is problematic using quartz. However, recent studies propose that the sensitivity-corrected multiple aliquot regenerative dose (SMAR) measurement technique has the potential to extend the d
Multi-hazard events, though infrequent and rare, are responsible for a substantial portion of global economic losses. This book chapter investigates the complexities of multi-hazard events and explores the design challenges and methodologies in multi-hazard risk assessment and structural resilience for wooden structures. Special attention is given to the interaction between earthquakes, fires, and
In this 5th version of the European LeukemiaNet guidance for adult patients, there are important changes in several areas of management based on evidence available since 2020, including the World Health Organisation’s reclassification of CML as a biphasic disease. Previous advice to switch the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) on failure of molecular milestones, is modified to better account for ind
We study Frege proofs using depth-d Boolean formulas for the Tseitin contradiction on n \times n grids. We prove that if each line in the proof is of size M, then the number of lines is exponential in n/(log M)O(d). This strengthens a recent result of Pitassi, Ramakrishman, and Tan [2022 IEEE 62nd Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2022, pp. 445-456]. The key technical step is a
The chemical industry, essential to economic growth and innovation, faces critical environmental sustainability challenges, notably pollution, emissions, and intensive resource use. Motivated by the need for practical tools to address these issues, this research develops a structured, comprehensive framework to assess and enhance environmental sustainability within the chemical sector. The framewo
The illicit trafficking of cultural heritage represents a significant global challenge, exacerbated by digital technologies that facilitate unauthorised trade while offering new protection opportunities. The ANCHISE project addresses these challenges through a suite of six innovative, complementary tools designed to enhance the detection, prevention, and investigation of cultural property traffick
Detection of toxic hexavalent chromium in soil, groundwater, industrial effluent, etc., is of significant interest. We demonstrate the electrochemical detection of Cr(VI) using a surface-engineered mesoporous carbon-based material. The mesoporous carbon-based material is obtained by the controlled pyrolysis of a homogenous mixture of Fe and Co complexes of hydrolyzed collagen. The as-synthesized m
A mathematical framework is introduced for optimization of antenna near-field imaging problems, based on the multipole expansion of the electromagnetic field, the Fisher information to quantify the quality of data and use of modern interior point convex optimization techniques. We consider the general problem of optimizing the measurement sensor allocation for parameter estimation in distributed s
In order to prepare for the potentially negative influence of insertion devices (IDs) on beam lifetime, injection effi- ciency and beam size in the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring, a strategy for neutralizing the foreseen effects of the IDs has been developed. The strategy involves a local correction of the betatron phase advance by adjusting the strength of the quadrupoles adjacent to the ID as well as
The Swedish Neutron Scattering Society (SNSS) is an organization open to all those associated with Sweden who are using, or interested in the use of, neutron scattering techniques. Currently, the SNSS has around 230 members distributed all over Sweden. The SNSS is a member of the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) [1], which represents the majority of the national neutron scattering so
Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) are today one of the most important means for delivering high-speed data transmission. Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) is an emerging technique for dealing with crosstalk, one of the technology's most harmful problems. DSM judiciously designs users' power spectral densities so that the overall system performance is improved. This works aims at presenting a new insi
Several types of Galactic sources, like magnetars, microquasars, novae or pulsar wind nebulae flares, display transient emission in the X-ray band. Some of these sources have also shown emission at MeV-GeV energies. However, none of these Galactic transients have ever been detected in the very-high-energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) regime by any Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). The Galactic Transient
Nonaqueous CE (NACE) methodology was developed for the separation and determination of phosphatidylethanol (Peth), a new biomarker of ethanol intake. Peth is an abnormal phospholipid formed in cell membranes only in the presence of ethanol, via the transphosphatidylation reaction of phospholipase D. The NACE separation medium consisted of 80 mM ammonium acetate in 50% ACN, 33% 2-propanol, 12% hexa
We study the ground state of the Pauli Hamiltonian with a magnetic field in R2d,d>1. We consider the case where a scalar potential W is present and the magnetic field B is given by B=2i ∂̄∂W. The main result is that there are no zero modes if the magnetic field decays faster than quadratically at infinity. If the magnetic field decays quadratically then zero modes may appear, and we give a lower b
Aim: This randomised controlled trial evaluated changes in parental self-efficacy and children's weight, after a Child-Centred Health Dialogue about preventing obesity. Methods: We randomly assigned 37 Child Health Centres in Skåne county Sweden to provide usual care or the dialogue intervention. They included centres from high and low socioeconomic areas. The outcomes were changes in parental sel
