Hur kan svenska handelsföretag bli mer konkurrenskraftiga? Ja, inte är det genom att leka följa John i priskriget med de kinesiska plattformsföretagen. Det skriver Handelns ekonomiska råd – Cecilia Hermansson, Håkan Frisén, Ulf Johansson, Elin Nilsson – i en debattartikel.
Kinesiska marknadsplattformar som Temu och Shein kan utan ansvar saluföra såväl klimatmässigt ohållbara som oetiska och osäkra produkter
BACKGROUND: Digital technologies are increasingly central to supporting autonomy, health, and social participation in later life. However, disparities persist in the ability to keep up with technological developments, affecting individuals' opportunities to benefit from digital health and social innovations.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate factors associated with individuals' self-report
The ESS linac is under construction by the ESS partner institutes (socalled In-Kind Contributors - IKC) and will operate the most powerful proton beam ever for neutron spallation source. The linac delivers 5 MW via 2 GeV protons at a repetition rate of 14 Hz at the He-cooled solid tungsten target. The pulsed neutrons, result of the spallation, will reach the science instruments after having been m
BACKGROUND: Dupuytren disease (DD) is a benign fibroproliferative disorder affecting the hand. Although diabetes mellitus is a known risk factor, the underlying mechanisms behind this association remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the relationship between glycemic control and DD in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), and to identify other metabolic risk factors influencing DD risk.MET
Network reconfiguration can significantly increase the hosting capacity (HC) for distributed generation (DG) in radially operated systems, thereby reducing the need for costly infrastructure upgrades. However, when the objective is DG maximization, jointly optimizing topology and power dispatch remains computationally challenging. Existing approaches often rely on relaxations or approximations, ye
Robotic surgery was developed to expand the patient population being offered a minimal invasive approach while retaining the associated advantages of minimal invasive surgery. Robotic surgery has been suggested to be particularly beneficial in surgery for malignant disease or in the presence of extensive intraabdominal adhesion, severe endometriosis, large uteri, high burden of comorbidity, or obe
Methods for percutaneous sampling such as core needle biopsy (CNB) and drill biopsy have, in recent years, emerged as important diagnostic substitutes for open biopsy of bone neoplasms. In addition, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been used for the diagnosis of bone lesions under certain circumstances. As early as 1931, Coley and Ellis applied this sampling method to bone neoplasms. To
BackgroundResearch involving current and future generations of older adults in the design of smart home technology (SHT) is scarce. In this study, current and future generations of older adults, professionals, and researchers together sought to identify user needs and aspirations for and related to SHT. The aim was to co-produce prioritized ideas for SHT solutions to support engagement in everyday
New alternatives for treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome are continuously being explored. Despite ongoing nonclinical and clinical research, few new principles have evolved. We can expect future new additions to existing drug classes and different combinations of existing options. New antimuscarinics are in development, but we do not know if they offer any advantages to currently availa
The orbital area contains a variety of anatomical structures including the eyelids, tarsal conjunctiva, caruncle, lacrimal gland, lacrimal drainage system, skin, skin adnexa, and soft tissues. It is surrounded by bone and cartilaginous structures and is highly vascularized and interspersed by the cranial nerves. This complex of neighboring, highly specialized tissues results in a large spectrum of
Due to the complex anatomy of the mediastinum and its proximity to a number of organs, a variety of neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions may occur in the mediastinum. The majority of these are accessible via fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The main indication for FNA in the mediastinum is to distinguish between neoplasm and nonneoplastic conditions and between benign and malignant neoplasm
As we become increasingly conscious of the entangled nature of human existence, we need to become more attuned to the needs of other species, and things on this planet we are bound to. This presents us with an opportunity to rethink in whose interest we approach architectural design, and to bring vital voices into the process that have – until now – been unable to make themselves heard. We conduct
Inappropriate bricklaying techniques can result in extruded mortar joints, which may partially fill the air gaps within brick veneer timber frame walls. This leads to an unintended connection or “bridge” between the brick masonry cladding and its adjacent layer (such as insulation or weather-resistant barriers). This bridging effect compromises the capillary break function of the air gap, allowing
Cytological examination of specimens obtained from bronchial tree and lung tissue is a cost-effective, safe, and fast method of diagnosing lung disease. There are many established sampling and preparation techniques, producing cytological specimens for routine microscopic examinations, and a spectrum of ancillary methods such as microbiology, cytochemical, immunocytochemical, and molecular genetic
