A novel genealogical approach to inheritance management uses probate inventories and tax records to trace intra-family dynamics and intergenerational patterns of wealth accumulation. When applied to a small sample of Swedish noble families from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the methodology makes three key findings: (1) position in a family tree significantly affected individual wealth o

In this digital era, it is nearly impossible for consumers to go about their daily lives without leaving a trail of digital footprints for companies to track. This datafication and ongoing surveillance enable marketing interventions based on preferences, interests, demographics, past behavior, taste of others, and online engagements like comments, likes, reviews, digital footprints, and ratings to

Shifting everyday consumption from linear to circular is a key sustainability challenge, and interventions targeting households and consumers are increasingly promoted as a means to support this transition. However, much remains unclear about the theoretical assumptions that underpin such interventions and how these shape their design and outcomes. This article presents a systematic literature rev

This paper investigates and conceptualises the valuation work that consumers perform in circular economies. Drawing on valuation studies, we bring analytical attention to the processes by which value is constituted, negotiated, and operationalised in circular acquisition, use, and disposal practices. Our findings indicate that engaging in circular consumption necessitates the cultivation of specif

AimsTo evaluate the association between diabetes and four peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes: carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE), radial nerve entrapment (RNE), and tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study used the Merative™ MarketScan® Commercial Database (2007–2023). Adults ≥18 years were classified as having diabetes or serving as controls.

OBJECTIVES: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a strong genetic component and is a known risk factor for several hand conditions. We aimed to examine whether DM in first-degree relatives is associated with an increased risk of hand surgical diagnoses.DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Data were collected from a population-based cohort in southern Sweden (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS)). Fam

Hjärntumörer hos barn är ovanliga och prognosen har förbättrats avsevärt under de senaste decennierna. Eftersom symtomen ofta är diffusa och ospecifika riskerar diagnosen att fördröjas, vilket kan leda till mer avancerad och svårbehandlad sjukdom. Förutom huvudvärk och illamående kan synpåverkan, hormonella rubbningar, motoriska symtom och ryggsmärta vara tidiga varningssignaler. Tidigare upptäckt

Purpose: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is the key prognostic factor in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Progression to RV failure involves dilatation, systolic and diastolic impairment, fibrosis, and metabolic changes. Lung transplantation (LTx) normalizes RV afterload, but the extent of recovery and its relation to immunosuppressive therapy remain unclear. We aimed to assess RV functio

INTRODUCTION: The anterior medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the entorhinal cortex (ERC) and Brodmann area 35 (BA35), is among the earliest cortical sites of tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet conventional image segmentation methods poorly capture these regions. METHODS: We applied an automated segmentation approach using an extended Automatic Segmentation of Hippocampal Subfields

This study characterizes the physicochemical properties and evaluates the atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides potentially released from the European Spallation Source (ESS) under a postulated worst-case loss-of-coolant accident scenario. The primary objective was to quantify near-surface air concentrations and deposition. Likely chemical forms were identified through a literature-based evaluat

Josef Pettersson föddes som yngste son i en soldatfamilj under första halvan av 1800-talet. Han tog arbete som dräng på Dannäs säteri som 17-åring. Artikeln handlar dels om hur han efter en karriär som rättare och kvarnägare och hemmansägare köpte det säteri där han hade sökt arbete som tonåring, dels om hur han och hustrun Lisa startade den första frikyrkoförsamlingen på orten.

Acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation (AAD) converts alcohols to carbonyl compounds with concurrent hydrogen evolution, providing a sustainable and atom-efficient oxidation pathway. Here, we examine how electronic modifications of POCOP-type iridium pincer catalysts influence this transformation. A CF3-substituted complex exhibits a 3–7 times higher initial turnover frequency relative to the parent

The presence of epistemic uncertainties in probabilistic modeling of structural performance implies that not only one but a multitude of possible models should be considered. When such models are utilized in the context of reliability and risk analysis, this does not pose any particular problem. In fact, epistemic and aleatory uncertainties may be treated without differentiation. However, in the c
