Hydrogen plays a pivotal role in the global energy transition, offering a clean and versatile energy carrier for a sustainable future. However, ensuring its safe use in industrial facilities requires reli- able prediction of dispersion from Venting Units (VUs). Traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations provide high-fidelity results but are too slow for fast safety assessment and i
Mycket har hänt på 100 år, våra levnadsförhållanden har förändrats, städerna har utvecklats, men på landsbygden har tiden stått still. Förr utgjorde bondgården en central del i böndernas liv men i takt med avvecklingen av lantbruken står många gårdar tomma och har tappat sin funktion. Under den rådande bostadsbristen väljer man ofta att bygga nytt istället för att utnyttja de byggnader som r
Vi kan idag se en ökande urbanisering i världen, 2018 bodde 53% av jordens befolkning i städer, en siffra som väntas öka till 60% till år 2030. Samtidigt mänsklighetens utsläpp av växthusgaser gett upphov till ökade temperaturer, som i sin tur leder till förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilka manifesteras i form av bland annat extrema regn. Detta har lett till ett ökat behov av att göra städer mer håThere is an increasing urbanization taking place in the world today, in 2018, 53% of the global population lived in cities, a figure that is expected to rise to 60% by 2030. At the same time, anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses give rise to increasing temperatures, which in turn lead to changed precipitation patterns, which manifest in the form of extreme rain events among other phenomena
Text: Background:Who wants to lead in eldercare today? Rising demands, staff shortages, and leadership turnover make the sector a tough place to stay. First-line managers are key players, but what keeps them motivated, and what drives them to leave? Guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study explored motivational patterns among eldercare managers and how these relate to organizational c
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Heart failure (HF) is a common complication of diabetes, associated with a high mortality rate and a substantial healthcare burden. Residual HF risk persists despite achieving current treatment targets, suggesting a role for additional mechanisms beyond conventional risk factors. We sought to prospectively assess HF incidence and independent risk factors in individuals with new-on
PURPOSE: To describe a less invasive laser therapy for retinopathy of prematurity, referred to as ridge-adjacent laser treatment (RALT), and its outcome regarding the need for re-treatment.METHODS: This was a retrospective observational review of medical records of all infants treated with RALT as a primary intervention for retinopathy of prematurity between June 2016 and June 2021 at a tertiary c
This study explored the prevalence and risk factors of academic burnout among veterinary nursing students in Ghana. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among students in the veterinary nursing program. Burnout was assessed using a student-adapted 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory Educational Survey (MBI-ES), comprising emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment.
Drawing on the notion of imagined futures, the special issue “Retail Imagination” explores emerging transformations in the retail sector. The special issue includes seven paper presented at the 9th Nordic Retail and Wholesale conference (NRWC) 2024. In this editorial, the concept of “Retail imagination” is discussed, the main content of the selected papers is outlined, and key dimensions for imagi
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the complex interplay between national self-interest and global cooperation. Media communication can contribute to the formation of national identity and promote nationalist themes, particularly in times of crisis. Media portrayals of the nation during a pandemic are informative, since nationalism, specifically health nationalism, may undermine the popular appeti
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization's convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, often referred to as the 'pandemic treaty', was established with principles to guide implementation. The treaty's underlying ethic was cosmopolitan in intent, emphasizing equal value of all people with obligations stemming from shared humanity.METH
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare past New Zealand immunization strategies with the New Zealand coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) immunization roll-out.METHODS: Using the READ document analysis method, 2 New Zealand immunization strategies (for influenza and measles) were analyzed for how the disease, context, vaccine supply and demand, ethical principles (equity, individual autono
This study examines how young adults respond to local labor market disruptions caused by military base closures in Sweden between 1998 and 2005. The results show substantial differences in responses between men and women, reflecting the sharp gender imbalance in military roles. Affected men increase enrollment in tertiary education, particularly when living in proximity to higher education institu
This open access book explores the interplay between individual and collective procreative interests against the background of cutting-edge developments in reproductive science.Reproductive technologies have made possible a range of novel practices that challenge some of our most fundamental assumptions about parenthood and the family. Gametes have been collected from dying or deceased individuals
Medical technologies have increasingly facilitated intrafamilial procreative initiatives. These include the collection of gametes from dying or deceased adults, in order to enable their spouse or their parents to create a child; the removal of reproductive material from children at the request of their parents; and uterus transplants from mother to daughter or between sisters. What do such cases h
Safe motion planning for autonomous driving systems in uncertain environments remains a significant challenge. The inherent traffic uncertainties caused by both the uncertain control and behavioral intentions of dynamic surrounding vehicles (SVs) are difficult to anticipate, hindering accurate motion prediction and complicating safe decision-making for the autonomous ego vehicle (EV). To mitigate
The aim of this chapter is to examine uterus transplantation from a research ethics perspective. The chapter focuses on the first clinical trial of uterus transplants, which was carried out in Sweden. The process of research ethics review in relation to this trial is discussed, and specific issues noted by the research ethics committee are highlighted and analysed, including the risks to the donor
Background: Workplace incivility — low-intensity negative behaviours that violate norms of respect— has been identified as a pervasive workplace stressor in contemporary working life, linked to several detrimental outcomes for employees and organizations. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, work life has become increasingly digitalized and video meetings have been normalized, raising questions about how
Steel is a strategic material for Europe, embedded in critical sectors such as construction, transport and defence, yet responsible for approximately 5% of EU CO2 emissions. While technological pathways for low-emission steel are advancing, their large-scale deployment depends on credible demand signals capable of supporting early market formation and reducing investment uncertainty. In response,
