Byggsektorn står för en betydande andel av klimatutsläppen, vilket gör att både Boverket och EU har föreslagit nya förordningar och regler för mer hållbara alternativ gällande byggnadsmaterial. Där biobaserade byggnadsmaterial kan anses som ett alternativ jämfört med konventionella material. Dessa material, såsom träfiber- och linfiberisolering har potential att minska klimatpåverkan genom att lagThe construction sector accounts for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions, which has led Boverket and the EU to propose new regulations and guidelines for more sustainable building materials. Biobased construction materials are considered a viable alternative to conventional materials. These materials, such as wood- and flax fibre insulation have the potential to reduce climate impa

Tree species are shifting their distribution patterns to align with their climate niches, or optimal conditions. Species are expected to shift their ranges to higher latitudes and altitudes if the current trend of rising temperatures persists. Therefore, we hypothesised that the geographic distributions of most native Iberian tree species in the peninsular Spain would shift northward and to higher

En växande grupp barn och unga i Sverige uppvisar skolvägran och ökande psykisk ohälsa, ofta i kombination med höga krav, otillräckligt stöd och svårigheter att hantera skolvardagen. Skolsköterskan har en central roll i tidig upptäckt och stöd, men saknar i dag gemensamma arbetssätt och språk för att aktivt bidra till elevernas återgång till skolan. Därför söker vi skolsköterskor med minst två års

BACKGROUND: The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs3) following abdominal surgery varies across surgical specialties. It remains unclear to what extent the incidence of PPCs is attributable to known patient-related factors and anaesthesia duration, rather than to differences inherent to the surgical specialty itself.METHODS: Post-hoc analysis of an observational study describi

AIM: Preoperative anaemia is a well-established risk factor for poor outcomes. However, the impact of postoperative haemoglobin (Hb) levels on long-term outcomes, including mortality and cardiovascular events, remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the independent association between postoperative nadir Hb levels and long-term outcomes, considering the potential interaction with preoperative

This chapter examines the Iranian state-produced film The Golden Collars as a tool of regime propaganda, focusing on how it constructs narratives of heroes and villains within the context of the 2009 post-election protests. It shows how the Islamic Republic, through state media, portrays foreign intelligence services—particularly those of the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel—as orchestrat

Multi-beam ptychography (MBP) offers a scalable solution to improve the throughput of state-of-the-art ptychography by increasing the number of coherent beams that illuminate the sample simultaneously. However, increasing the number of beams in ptychography makes ptychographical reconstructions more challenging and less robust. It has been demonstrated that MBP reconstructions can be made more rob

IntroductionForensic assessments of whether an injury would have been life-threatening often rely on empirical knowledge rather than evidence-based criteria. To address this gap, we applied the validated trauma scoring system New Injury Severity Score (NISS) to estimate mortality risk along the natural course of single stab injuries to the trunk.Methods and materialsWe included 408 survivors and 1

Whereas the link between impaired male fertility and risk of testicular and prostate cancer is well established, studies investigating non-reproductive cancer risk among men with impaired reproductive function are scarce and show conflicting results. The aim of the study was to compare the risk of developing non-reproductive cancers in men achieving paternity through assisted reproduction as compa

INTRODUCTION: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious complication in infants and children with severe congenital bleeding disorders causing substantial mortality and long-term neurological morbidity. The neonatal period carries the highest risk, particularly in severe haemophilia and rare factor deficiencies. We review the epidemiology, risk factors, prevention, recognition, management

This thesis investigates the long-run performance of IPOs in the U.S. market, a topic that remains timely given the historic issuance wave in 2020–2021 and the sharp monetary tightening that followed. Analysing 1,222 IPOs listed between 2015 and 2025, the study applies Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR), Propensity Score Matching (PSM), and Fama-French calendar-time regressions to evaluate perfo

This study investigates the relationship between military expenditure, economic growth, and technological progress in 27 OECD countries over the period 1970–2019. While previous research on the economic consequences of military spending has produced mixed and often inconclusive results, this paper extends the literature by including total factor productivity (TFP) as a measure of long-term technol

This study investigated the presence of microplastics (MPs, >5 μm to <2 mm) in biofertilizers and estimated their mass input to Swedish agricultural soils. Collective samples from representative biogas facilities were analyzed using optical microscopy and optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy, with selected MPs examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The highest MPs concentra

Groundwater stored in alluvial fan aquifers represents a key water resource in semi-arid mountainous regions, yet groundwater recharge mechanisms and flow dynamics remain poorly understood, particularly in data-scarce regions experiencing increasing water demand and anthropogenic pressure. This study investigates groundwater recharge processes and flow patterns in three adjacent watersheds of the
