How to estimate the economic returns of public science is a longstanding but equally challenging topic in quantitative science studies. In this paper, we exploit the staggered foundation of the SENAI Innovation Institutes (ISI) in Brazil since 2012 to estimate their effects on GDP using a difference-in-differences (DiD) approach. Building on historical and institutional insights from interviews on
Ett vanligt problem på cykelvägar är kantsprickor, vilka påverkar trafiksäkerheten och framkomligheten för cyklister negativt och bidrar till ökade underhållskostnader. Cykelvägarna är extra känsliga för den här problematiken då de både är tunnare och smalare än bilvägar. Ett par passager av tunga fordon vid ogynnsamma tidpunkter kan räcka för att cykelvägens kant ska knäckas. Bärförmågan hos åttaA recurrent challenge on cycle paths are edge cracks, which affect the traffic safety and accessibility of cyclists and produce high maintenance costs. Being both structurally thinner and narrower structures than roads, the cycle paths are extra prone to this problem. A few passages of heavy vehicles in unfavourable conditions might be enough to break the edge. The load-bearing capacity of eight m
Introduction: Patients with severe haemophilia A (HA) with no family history of haemophilia will be diagnosed upon their first bleeding event. Methods: Herein, we studied the effects of lack of family history in HA and the subsequent delay of diagnosis on bleeding pattern and early treatment, as well as on the risk of inhibitor development. For this purpose, data on 1237 severe HA patients with kn
This paper reports on lessons learned during the design of the vessels, including the risk assessments; during the actual build/retrofit; and during the vessels’ operation. The focus is on the gained knowledge, to serve as proofs of concept and as a starting point for other methanol vessel conversions.

Att ersätta bilresor med cykelresor har många fördelar, både ur ett individ- och samhällsperspektiv, t.ex. bättre hälsa genom ökad fysisk aktivitet, lägre nivåer av föroreningar och trängsel. Det finns dock vissa potentiella problem med en sådan förändring. Cyklister löper exempelvis högre risk för trafikolyckor per fordonskilometer än bilförare. Denna risk måste minimeras för en optimal övergång A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, bothfrom individual- and societal perspectives, e.g., better health from anincrease in physical activity, lower levels of pollution and congestion.However, there are also some potential problems with such a shift. Cyclistshave a higher risk of traffic incidents per travelled kilometre than cardrivers. This risk needs to be minim
The accumulation of heavy metals in soils, often resulting from socio-economic development, poses a significant environmental challenge. Metallic elements can be adsorbed by organic matter and minerals in the soil, eventually accumulating in river sediments. This study aims to assess the extent of metal contamination in the sediments of the El Maleh River and its estuary in the Mohammedia region o
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the United States with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Currently both biomarkers and therapies for CO poisoning are limited and require new approaches. Methods: Rats (~ 300 g) were divided into four grou

Background: Skin pain is a common symptom in patients with chronic hand eczema (CHE); however, its association with increased analgesic use has not been thoroughly investigated. Objectives: To examine analgesic use (paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], opioids and gabapentin/pregabalin) among patients with CHE compared to a control group. Methods: Data were obtained from the
Dating the bottommost section of an ice core is often complicated by strong layer thinning and possible disturbances in the stratigraphy. The radioactive decay of atmospherically produced 36Cl and 10Be can provide age estimates, where traditional methods can no longer be used. In this study, we investigated ice from the bottom of the Skytrain ice core, which was drilled in West Antarctica next to
Ice cores are unique archives of paleo-climate information and require accurate dating for its interpretation. Continuous chronologies are usually based on time markers, stratigraphic matching, and orbital tuning, but often end several meters above bedrock, because extreme thinning and sometimes disturbances in the stratigraphy complicate the identification of climate signals and their alignment w
The implementation of water-related environmental measures (WREMs) in agricultural businesses presents an opportunity to align food production with sustainable value creation through ecosystem services. However, the complexity of adopting these measures, and making them a part of business models, necessitates the involvement of intermediaries to facilitate business opportunities that align with go
Introduction: Device-aided therapies (DATs) have been developed to provide continuous drug delivery (CDD) to people with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) whose symptoms can no longer be effectively managed with oral or transdermal therapy. Intrajejunal infusion of levodopa–carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG), delivered via the CADD Legacy 1400 pump, is an established CDD option, while levodopa–entaca
Under våren 2025 genomfördes en landskapsarkeologisk undersökning av en fastighet belägen på Bjärehalvön, nordvästra Skåne. Undersökningen visar med hjälpa av skriftliga källor, kartor samt fältstudier hur bebyggelse och landskap har förändrats från ca 1600 - 1900.
Introduction: Clinical learning has an important role in health care education. However, challenging working environments with increasing staff turnover, sick leave and high work pace create tensions between teaching and clinical activities. After participation in a faculty development program, a teacher team implemented new activities, the supervisors were grouped in pairs for support; a workshop
The semiconductor industry is pivotal to Europe's economy, especially within the industrial and automotive sectors. However, Europe faces a significant shortfall in chip design capabilities, marked by a severe skilled labor shortage and lagging contributions in the design value chain segment. This paper explores the role of European universities and academic initiatives in enhancing chip design ed
Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard method for evaluating cardiac function and structure and is thus an important tool for diagnostics in cardiovascular disease. Recently, deep learning (DL) methods have achieved notable developments in various aspects of CMR. The aim of this thesis was to further assess
