In this paper we investigate the possibility of socially assistive robots (SARs) supporting diagnostic screening for peripartum depression (PPD) within the next five years. Through a HRI/socio-legal collaboration, we explore the gender norms within PPD in Sweden, to inform a gender-sensitive approach to designing SARs in such a setting, as well as governance implications. This is achieved through

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Assessment of underlying conditions that contribute to breathlessness is fundamental for symptom management. This review aims to summarize the knowledge from the past two years on the most common underlying conditions among individuals with breathlessness in the general population and to identify research gaps. RECENT FINDINGS: Nine studies from the last two years were included

The ongoing wide-scale introduction of nonnative plants across the world may negatively influence native invertebrate fauna, due to a lack of coevolved traits related to the novel plants, e.g., unique phytochemicals or shifted phenology. Nonnative plants, specifically trees, are common in urban environments, areas that already pose novel habitats to plants and wildlife through a wide array of anth

The archaeological excavation carried out in 1988 by the University of Málaga’s Area of Prehistory in the surrounding area of the Viera dolmen identified significant evidence of settlement and funerary practices in Antiquity. In the framework of the Research Project “Societies, Territories and Landscapes in the Prehistory of the Lands of Antequera (Málaga)” (2013-2018) a systematic study of the ma

This chapter argues that encouraging teachers to strive towards civic professionalism is the key to equipping music schools with the tools to align with societal changes. All of the case descriptions highlight the practical use of inter-professional collaboration across sectors in problem-solving, this being one possible element in realising civic professionalism in practice. Social innovations ca

TEMA: URBAN BIODIVERSITET Stadsmiljöns värde för pollinatörer beror av både utformningen av staden och kvaliteten på de gröna miljöerna. I bästa fall kan städer vara ett viktigt komplement till naturen runt om för den regionala mångfalden av bin, särskilt genom villaträdgårdarna. Vi har undersökt bin, blomflugor och fjärilar och hur de trivs i staden jämfört med i den omkringliggande landsbygden.

High-temperature oxidation of acetylene (C2H2) is studied behind reflected shock waves and in laminar flames. Atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy (ARAS) is employed to record oxygen atom concentration profiles for the mixture of 10 ppm C2H2 + 10 ppm N2O + argon and temperatures from 1688 K to 3179 K, extending the range of such data available from the literature. Laminar burning velocity of C

Using a new sample environment, the two operando surface diagnostic techniques two-dimensional surface optical reflection (2D-SOR) and polarization-modulated infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) have been combined with mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize a catalytic reaction. With both techniques integrated in a custom-built setup, we can correlate molecular information of the

The length of the growing season for deciduous trees in temperate and boreal forests is determined by the timing of bud burst and autumn senescence. It is generally assumed that a warmer climate leads to a longer growing season due to earlier bud burst and delayed autumn senescence and thereby increased gross primary production (GPP) of forests. In this study, we analysed past (1873–1951) and curr

The yearly, total (dry+wet) deposition of inorganic nitrogen (inorg-N) to Norway spruce forests was estimated with a full spatial coverage over Sweden for a twenty-year period, 2001–2020, based on combined measurements with Teflon string samplers, throughfall deposition and bulk deposition to the open field. The results were based on a novel method to apply estimates of the dry deposition based on
