The current investigation explores the surface effects of quasiatomic layer etching (Q-ALE) of silicon (Si), focusing on the interplay of process parameters, such as Ar+ ion energy, and their impact on etch rate, surface roughness, and material damage. Using a chlorine-based reactive ion etching tool at varying radio frequency bias voltages, the ion energy distribution and etching characteristics
This study offers novel insights into parents' experiences of healthcare interactions during weight-related visits. Data were collected through the More and Less Europe study, a randomized controlled trial evaluating a parent support program for children (aged 2-6 years) with overweight or obesity in Sweden, Romania, and Spain to capture parents' experiences of healthcare interactions. Semi-struct
Through a systematic review this study critically examines existing peer-reviewed evidence on the often-overlooked gender dimensions of the just energy transition. We found 52 peer-review journal papers focusing on three main themes: (1) how energy production can worsen pre-existing gender-based vulnerabilities, (2) how energy consumption can reproduce gender-based energy poverty and (3) how femin
Background: Fatigue is a debilitating symptom in patients with primary mitochondrial disease nPMD). Developing new treatments that improve fatigue is a patient priority but is hampered by a lack of fit-for-purpose patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We aimed to understand the impact of fatigue on the lives of people with PMD and develop a brief PMD-specific PROM to evaluate fatigue in clini
Background: Dissecting free tissue flaps can be challenging and time-consuming. Imaging technologies are typically used to assist with preoperative planning. However, conventional methods have limitations that could potentially be overcome by extended reality technologies. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current use of extended reality (XR) in preoperative planning for microsurgical f
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with an enormous burden of disease and cost to society. The dopamine deficiency hypothesis posits that negative reinforcement generated by a low brain dopamine state drives ethanol intake. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined administration of two dopamine-enhancing drugs, varenicline (a partial nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Mini-Symposium Duration: 55 Minutes Contemporary evidence-based models support the early use of electric cars as mobility aids in children with motor disabilities. Monitoring how each child learns to interact with the car, and the learning progression is the key to adjusting the intervention strategies. The ALP 2.0 tool is a qualitative assessment that offers therapists and families a classificati
Rapid and accurate generation of building damage maps (BDMs) following earthquakes is crucial for effective disaster response and rescue operations. With the increasing availability of optical very high-resolution remote sensing (OVHR-RS) images, two considerable deep learning challenges arise: (1) developing robust models for data-rich regions and (2) adapting pre-trained models for areas with li
E-Poster, 2 minute presentation Abstract: Introduction: The tool Assessment of Learning Process (ALP) is to a high extent based on findings from the research project Driving to Learn (1993-2007), and collaboration with Durkin (2009-2016) and Kenyon (2020 -). The eight-phase ALP-Instrument is used to assess tool-use understanding across the full lifespan. Participants and Methods: Classic grounded
Lithium-ion battery safety is a topic of large importance, and testing is associated with large costs. Safety evaluation is therefore needed also at an early stage in cell design and development, in order to evaluate potential short-comings or to screen large platforms of materials and cells. Previous thermal runaway tests on lab-scale cells have, however, indicated differences in heat release and
E-poster, 2-minute presentation Statement of Problem Self-generated mobility, defined as the capacity for independent movement, plays a critical role in early childhood development. Limited mobility, often associated with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, poses significant developmental delays, particularly impacting physical, social, and cognitive growth. Description of the Co
Description: Early interventions with PMDs can improve the independence and developmental outcomes of children with disabilities. Increasing awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to overcome barriers to access to PMDs. Expanding global partnerships and integrating PMDs into clinical and educational settings can increase children's access to mobility. ABSTRACT: Background The Description: Early interventions with PMDs can improve the independence and developmental outcomes of children with disabilities. Increasing awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to overcome barriers to access to PMDs.

E-poster, 2-minute presentation. ABSTRACT: Background: A study of typically developing infants testing joystick-operated powered wheelchair was part of the Driving to Learn project. The original aim was to find a pattern in achievements among participants with profound cognitive disabilities by comparing with young infants. Method: Re-analysis of video-data collected with typically developing infa
The establishment of the EU citizenship has challenged the way in which citizenship has been understood and theorised. After offering a brief overview of different theoretical accounts on EU citizenship, this encyclopedia entry suggests that it can be understood as a key status for the purposes of sustainable migration. EU citizenship is not only a status which connects the nationals of the Member
As part of an edited collection published by the Lund University, Agenda 2030 Graduate School, this essay presents a theoretical reflection on sustainability and EU migration law. Drawing on Derrida and his figure of the specter figure of the specter as a thing that shapes the present as permeated by an elsewhere, I suggest that sustainable migration could be understood as a specter haunting EU mi
Poster: Bakgrund/Syfte: Personer med flerfunktionsnedsättning behöver stöd i utvecklingen av sina aktivitetsrepertoarer. Avgöra fas i LärandeProcessen (ALP) med instrument och främjande strategier kan bidra till att utveckla deras förståelse för användning av verktyg. Studien utvärderade interbedömarreliabilitet och klinikers upplevelser av att använda det universella instrumentet (ALP) i aktivite
Bakgrund/Syfte: Aktivitetsträning är en ständigt pågående process som innefattar social interaktion och lärande. Synen på människan som en aktiv varelse är central i arbetsterapi och insatserna rör ofta vardagens olika aktivitetsområden så som personlig vård, boende, fritid och arbete. Görandet av aktiviteterna kan beskrivas som en interaktiv social process där personen har ett ständigt utbyte med
Avgöra fas i LärandeProcessen (ALP): ett universellt verktyg för bedömning och främjande av aktivitetsutförande och verktygsanvändning. Det universella ALP-verktyget kan tillämpas med barn och vuxna, oberoende av deras förmågor, diagnos, funktionsnedsättningar eller i vilka situationer de utför aktiviteter eller verktygsanvändning. Detta innebär att arbetsterapeuter kan använda det universella ALP
This paper proposes a D-band patch antenna featuring four parasitic elements and a loaded superstrate layer. Inspired by a previous parasitic patch antenna design, the new structure is synthesized from scratch using characteristic mode analysis. The new design features different operating principles that enable low-cost single-layer fabrication on PCB HDI technology, while retaining wideband opera
Background: Premeal whey protein (WP) consumption may reduce postprandial glucose (PPG) levels and appetite. We assessed the effects of twice daily consumption of a low-dose non-gelling novel WP formulation (WP microgel [WPM]) on PPG, self-reported appetite, and ad-libitum food consumption. Methods: This was a randomized, prospective, open-label, controlled, single-center crossover study, and adul
