But in urban areas there is an urban context, which calls the attention to the need of a planning perspective of the assembled built environment. Detailed plans are required, and they ought to be considered in a total urban or mu

Over the years, with advances in our understanding of soft tissue tumors, availability of an increasing number of diagnostic ancillary tests, and matured biopsy techniques with or without image guidance, needle biopsy investigation of a soft tissue lesion has largely replaced open excisional biopsy as the primary diagnostic tool to establish malignancy and to assess histologic type and grade. Fine

Objectives: Studies have reported promising results regarding artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for improved mammographic screening interpretive performance. We analyzed AI malignancy risk scores from two versions of the same commercial AI model. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 117,709 screening examinations performed in BreastScreen Norway 2009–2018. The

The use and significance of timber structures are on the rise, especially thanks to crosslaminated timber (CLT). This engineered wood product is manufactured by stacking multiple layers of wood lamellae, each oriented perpendicularly to the one below it, and then bonding them with adhesives to form a floor or wall panel. Timber, as a building material, presents potential environmental benefits ove

Abstract in Chinese:摘要在中国食品生产与消费趋势呈现多重矛盾的背景下, 考察推广特定饮食方式 (如植物性饮食) 的个体与群体, 有助于深化对民间社会在可持续转型中所扮演角色的理解。本文采用结合数字食物研究与实地民族志的研究方法, 聚焦当代中国的“饮食公众” (dietary publics) 及其话语实践与动员机制的交织互动, 并从教育, 文化, 探索与创新四个倡议维度展开分析。研究发现, 不同类型的行动者正在以“植物领先运动” (Plant-forward Movement) 的框架下形成多元联盟。该运动虽以全植物性饮食为核心, 同时也涵盖蛋奶素与弹性素食等实践形态。这些行动者在中国的“绿色公共领域” (Green Public Sphere) 中占据独特位置, 展现出推动社会向更绿色饮食与生活方式转型的潜在动能与意义。A growing body of research has examined the rise of civil society efforts to green China’s food system, and this article contributes to such discussions by examining the case of plant-based food and lifestyle advocacy. Amid emerging paradoxes in China’s food production and consumption trends, examining individuals and groups who promote distinct diets such as veganism offers new insights into civi

OBJECTIVE: During the past few decades, a rapidly increasing incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been reported from many parts of the world. The change over time has been partly explained by changes in lifestyle causing rapid early growth and weight development. The current study models and analyzes the time trend by age, sex, and birth cohort in an exceptionally large study group.RES

This chapter deals with ways in which digital technologies can be utilized to work with moving media in hybrid ways. I will shortly present a practice of what I call probing. It is an extended, evocative, and open-ended process of art making and research. I will present a selection of projects that explore notions of noise, blend modes, and live cinema. I will discuss notions of noise, the provisi

There is an increasing focus on the importance of reducing red meat consumption for environmental as well as health reasons. In this study, we have assessed how consumers' choice of protein source in a meal could be affected by two nudging tools. The first nudge consisted of serving a plant-based steak as the default option instead of beef, alongside placing the plant-based steak at the top of theThere is an increasing focus on the importance of reducing red meat consumption for environmental as well as health reasons.

Little is known about how heritage speakers (HS s) and first-generation migrants perceive global accents, including those of their own peers. Our study compares the accent perception of 107 Italian-speaking individuals belonging to three groups: HS s, migrants, and homeland controls. These three groups rated speech samples from second language learners (L2ers), homeland speakers, and other HS s. T

This study analyzes how violent conflict influences taxation in a poor, conflict-affected country, Burkina Faso. We use a unique, large, and representative panel dataset on tax collection of firms between 2015 and 2022 and geographically match these data with indicators of violent conflict at the municipal level. We find that firms pay a lower amount of tax in areas affected by violence. We also fThis study analyzes how violent conflict influences taxation in a poor, conflict-affected country, Burkina Faso.

For the best start in life – An ethnological study into the choice of birth place. This ethnological essay aims to investigate and create a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons for different individuals' choices of birthing locations, and how they can possibly give us a deeper understanding of the ideals that exist within Swedish maternity care today.

Sömnsvårigheter är vanliga i befolkningen och insomni utgör en av de mest förekommande sömnstörningarna med påtagliga konsekvenser för dagtida funktion och psykiskt välbefinnande. Flera sociodemografiska och kliniska riskfaktorer har identifierats, men kunskapen är begränsad om hur dessa faktorer tillsammans samvarierar med symtomens svårighetsgrad, behandling och önskemål om hjälp i primärvården.Sleep difficulties are frequently reported in the general population, and insomnia is among the most prevalent of sleep disorders, with substantial consequences for daytime functioning and psychological well-being. Prior studies have linked insomnia to several sociodemographic and clinical factors. However, knowledge is limited in how these factors together relate to symptom severity, treatment pa
