Objective: To assess (i) the impact of self-reported fatigue on functioning in daily life, and (ii) the association with sociodemographics, physical capacity, and work ability among people with post-COVID-19. Design: A cross-sectional study. Subjects: Adults reporting post-COVID-19 symptoms for at least 2 months. Methods: Participants were recruited through social media and responded to an online

This paper introduces P-expo, a do-it-yourself open-source software solution for enhancing online lectures. P-expo seamlessly integrates text, images, videos, webcams, and audio, with support for text-based tools like git for collaboration. Additionally, the paper introduces affordable DIY hardware components to enrich online education seminars, and presents a curated selection of accessible open-

LU-PZE is an interactive tool for illustrating fundamental concepts related to control theory, covering the relation between transfer functions, pole-zero plots, step responses, Bode plots, and Nyquist diagram. The tool gamifies education with dynamic assignments and quizzes. The tool is straightforward to use since it is web-based. https://lu-pze.github.io

Identification of preferential flow-paths, such as fractures, is required for various issues in geosciences. When chemicals are injected into the subsurface, monitoring the resulting structural and chemical changes remains a challenge. The ability of geophysical tomography to tackle this problem is not fully explored due to the lack of numerical methods suitable for modeling narrow structures. We

This study investigates the knowledge transfer from interdisciplinary research on Circular Economy (CE) to classical academic disciplines (ADs) such as Engineering, Economics, Geography, and Management. Despite the prolific publication of CE research in interdisciplinary journals, there is a notable discrepancy in its integration into traditional AD journals. Utilizing a bibliometric analysis of 2

In this work, a specially designed experimental setup is employed to study the ignition and combustion of single aluminum droplets in hot steam-dominated flows. The transient burning behaviors of Al droplets of different sizes are characterized by simultaneously visualizing the flame incandescence and droplet shadowgraphs with two high-speed cameras at high magnification. The combustion process ca

Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a prevalent cardiovascular disorder after COVID-19 infection. Although POTS is characterized by the presence of sinus tachycardia, other hemodynamic disturbances including blood pressure (BP) regulation, remain largely unexplored.Aims: We investigated BP changes using 24-hour ambulatory-BP-monitoring in patients with new-onset POTS af

Background: Immigrants from the Middle East (ME) have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the native-born Swedish population. In individuals free from T2D, ME immigrants are more insulin resistant and have lower levels of adjusted insulin secretion (Disposition index, DIo) compared to Swedish-born individuals. The ethnic differences are not fully explained by traditional risk

Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is an issue for healthcare students, influenced by safety concerns and misinformation. The need for better communication training and understanding sociocultural factors in VH was highlighted in a European University Alliance seminar. Practical exercises like simulation role-playing, interprofessional collaboration, and digital literacy may improve vaccine education.

Understanding the nature of the photoexcitation and ultrafast charge dynamics pathways in organic halide perovskite nanocubes and their aggregation into superlattices is key for potential applications as tunable light emitters, photon-harvesting materials, and light-amplification systems. In this work, we apply two-dimensional coherent electronic spectroscopy (2DES) to track in real time the forma

BACKGROUND: Parents experience a range of mental health disorders following their child's cancer diagnosis. It is thus essential to explore how the child's cancer diagnosis affects the dosage of psychotropic medication in both short- and long-term use, as well as potential disparities in utilization patterns between mothers and fathers.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using Swedish registers, we identified a

With the increased interest in lignin valorization, the analytical challenge to separate a complex mixture of a vast number of phenolics has made chromatography an indispensable step in lignin analysis. High-resolution separations, such as gas chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography have typically been targeting low-molecular-weight compound

Glioblastoma is our most common and most fatal primary brain tumor. Although continuous progress in the cancer research-field the prognosis for glioblastoma remains detrimental. Radiotherapy is a corner stone in the treatment arsenal and can induce an immune response, needed to achieve better tumor control. A limitation that remains is the side-effects on healthy tissue. The new implementation of

This article considers students’ and teachers’ perceptions of shared reading (SR) in promoting reading engagement. It provides a thematic analysis of focus groups with students and teachers at a Swedish upper-secondary school who participated in an intervention consisting of SR sessions. The findings are triangulated with a student pre-intervention questionnaire that included reading habits.The st
