China's electricity transmission reduces carbon emissions but causes water resource depletion

China's rapid growth in electricity demand intensifies the twin challenges of water conservation and carbon reduction in a system where production and consumption are spatially mismatched. We develop a novel evaluation framework to quantify how electricity generation and interprovincial transmission redistribute “virtual” water and carbon. The method integrates national water/carbon footprints by

Robust localization in modern cellular networks using global map features

Radio frequency (RF) signal-based localization using modern cellular networks has emerged as a promising solution to accurately locate objects in challenging environments. One of the most promising solutions for situations involving obstructed-line-of-sight (OLoS) and multipath propagation is multipathbased simultaneous localization and mapping (MP-SLAM) that employs map features (MFs), such as vi

Between promise and practice: Maternal, neonatal and child health professionals’ experiences of digital service adaptations in Uganda during the COVID-19 pandemic

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda. In response, digital health tools were rapidly adopted as one of the strategies to restore service delivery. However, the experiences of MNCH professionals implementing these adaptations remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore how MNCH professionals in Uganda experienced

Adaptive multipath-based SLAM for distributed MIMO systems

Localizing users and mapping the environment using radio signals is a key task in emerging applications such as reliable communications, location-aware security, and safety critical navigation. Recently introduced multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (MP-SLAM) can jointly localize a mobile agent and the reflective surfaces in radio frequency (RF) environments. Most existing MP-SLA

Characterisation of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) : Findings from a physician chart-audit pre- and post-COVID-19

INTRODUCTION: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a complex disorder with challenging diagnosis and management.METHODS: This cross-sectional, multi-national, web-based physician chart audit described clinical features and management of POTS, offering insights into disease burden and outcomes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.RESULTS: Physicians (n = 153), primarily cardiologis

State Lies as Violations of Human Rights

This article examines how lying by state agents can violate various human rights, including freedoms of opinion and expression, the right to health, and the right to participate in public affairs. The article argues that human rights law will apply regardless of whether states lie to their own people or to peoples of other states. The article also argues that lying by state agents can be justified

Low-latency D-MIMO Localization using distributed scalable message-passing algorithm

Distributed MIMO and integrated sensing and communication are expected to be key technologies in future wireless systems, enabling reliable, low-latency communication and accurate localization. Dedicated localization solutions must support distributed architecture, provide scalability across different system configurations and meet strict latency requirements. We present a scalable message-passing

The Swedish Instrument of Government 50 years (1975-2025). Popular Sovereignty and Separation of Powers. An overview of Swedish Constitutional History

The Swedish Constitution consists of four constitutional acts, and one of them is the Instrument of Government (Regeringsformen). It was enacted in 1974 and entered into force 1st January 1975. This year, it has functioned as the most important constitutional act in Sweden for 50 years. Its name, the Instrument of Government, was used for the first time in 1634, when a constitutional act was issue

Stuck in Between Law and Politics? Understanding the Impact of the Right to Housing as a Right of Migrants and Refugees in International Law

Finding and maintaining adequate housing is an increasingly serious struggle for many. To what extent the right to housing in international law offers a way out of this struggle is a crucial question that requires careful thinking. This chapter offers a perspective for answering this question by focusing on a particular group: migrants and refugees. To do so, it examines the dynamics of how the riFinding and maintaining adequate housing is an increasingly serious struggle for many.

Risk and prognosis of colorectal cancer following bacteraemia with Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus complex : A Swedish nationwide retrospective cohort study

There is a positive association between bacteraemia with Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between the timing of SBSEC bacteraemia and CRC is not well-established. Associations with other gastrointestinal cancers have also been suggested. Using national registries, we retrospectively examined the incidence of CRC and ot

“Det är nog första arbetsplatsen där jag känner att här kan jag vara väldigt väldigt länge!” En kvalitativ intervjustudie med psykologer som arbetar med patienter utsatta för sexuella övergrepp

Studiens syfte var att genom tematisk analys undersöka hur psykologer upplever och påverkas av att behandla patienter utsatta för sexuella övergrepp, om och hur de främjar välmående genom egna copingstratgeier samt hur de bidrar till och påverkas av organisationen. Genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med åtta psykologer verksamma på en mottagning tillägnad människor utsatta för sexuella övergrepp The purpose of this study was to, by using thematic analysis, investigate how psychologists experience and are affected by treating sexually assaulted individuals, if and how they use different coping strategies to maintain their own wellbeing and how they are affected by the organization. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight psychologists working in a clinic dedicated for patients

“Jag vill att dom visar att dom bryr sig!” En studie om gymnasieelevers perspektiv på elevhälsoteam

Studiens syfte var att undersöka och kartlägga gymnasieelevers syn på elevhälsan samt att konstruera ett mätinstrument för att genomföra undersökningen. Mot bakgrund av ökande psykisk ohälsa bland unga samt bristande nationell kartläggning av ungdomars perspektiv gällande elevhälsan var ansatsen med studien att lyfta gymnasieelevernas egna perspektiv i frågan. Studien genomfördes som en tvärsnittsThe aim of the current study was to explore high school students’ perspectives on the Swedish student health system (elevhälsan), as well as the construction of a survey instrument to implement the study. Due to the general increase in adolescent mental health issues alongside a lack of national research regarding adolescent views on elevhälsan, this cross-sectional explorative study seeked to amp

Professionellas perspektiv på psykisk ohälsa: attributionsskillnader mellan läkare, psykologer och kuratorer kopplat till stigma mot psykiatriska diagnoser

Vårdgivares förståelse av psykiatriska tillstånd har föreslagits hänga samman med deras stigma gentemot personer med sådana tillstånd. Detta stigma kan yttra sig genom förminskande beteenden, uteslutning från beslutsprocesser och försämrade terapeutiska relationer. Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida det finns en relation mellan psykiatrisk profession, attributionella ramverk och stigma gentemot perMental health professionals’ understanding of psychiatric conditions has been proposed to relate to their stigma toward individuals with such diagnoses. Such stigma may manifest through dismissive behavior, exclusion from decision-making and weakened therapeutic relationships. This thesis investigates whether psychiatric profession, attributional frameworks, and stigma toward ADHD, anxiety disorde
