Does greening generate exclusive residential real estate development? Contrasting experiences from North America and Europe

With the branding of a city as green increasingly serving to amplify attractiveness andinvestment while also contributing to patterns of green gentrification, the incentive to link real estate development and green space is growing. Yet, little is known about the extent to which this incentive has generated a spatial relationship between green space and newly constructed housing at the city-wide l

Placement of an intrauterine device within 48 hours after second-trimester medical abortion : a randomized controlled trial

Background: International guidelines recommend placement of intrauterine devices immediately after second-trimester medical abortion, but evidence concerning the optimal time for intrauterine device placement is lacking from clinical trials. Objective: This study aimed to investigate effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of intrauterine device placement within 48 hours, compared with placement

Prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for patients with inflammatory arthritis decreases with the initiation of tumour necrosis factor inhibitor therapy : results from the ICEBIO registry

Objective: To study the impact of tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor (TNFi) therapy on the use of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in Iceland. Method: This registry cohort study used data from the nationwide database on biologics in Iceland (ICEBIO) and the Icelandic Prescriptio

Strategies for Creative Agency in Performing Arts

This chapter discusses creative agency in performing arts. It departs from three theatre productions all produced in different contexts. When exploring new formats with artists from many different art fields, the question of creative agency becomes pivotal: artistic dilemmas can’t be solved by any one artist alone-joint efforts are needed to find solutions on how to blend different modes of repres

Oxygen-defective electrostrictors for soft electromechanics

Electromechanical metal oxides, such as piezoceramics, are often incompatible with soft polymers due to their crystallinity requirements, leading to high processing temperatures. This study explores the potential of ceria-based thin films as electromechanical actuators for flexible electronics. Oxygen-deficient fluorites, like cerium oxide, are centrosymmetric nonpiezoelectric crystalline metal ox

New opportunities for time-resolved imaging using diffraction-limited storage rings

The advent of diffraction-limited storage rings (DLSRs) has boosted the brilliance or coherent flux by one to two orders of magnitude with respect to the previous generation. One consequence of this brilliance enhancement is an increase in the flux density or number of photons per unit of area and time, which opens new possibilities for the spatiotemporal resolution of X-ray imaging techniques. Th

Habitat opening fostered diversity : impact of dispersal and habitat-shifts in the evolutionary history of a speciose afrotropical insect group

The opening of habitats associated with the emergence of C4 grasslands during the Neogene had a massive influence on the evolution of plant and animal communities. Strikingly, the impacts of grassland expansion on species diversification in Africa, where the largest surface of grasslands and savannas in the world is located, are not well understood. To explore the impact of habitat opening, we inv

Correcting angular distortions in Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging

Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (BCDI) has emerged as a powerful technique for strain imaging and morphology reconstruction of nanometre-scale crystals. However, BCDI often suffers from angular distortions that appear during data acquisition, caused by radiation pressure, heating or imperfect scanning stages. This limits the applicability of BCDI, in particular for small crystals and high

Survival of patients with ruptured gastrointestinal stromal tumour treated with adjuvant imatinib in a randomised trial

Background: Patients with ruptured gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) have poor prognosis. Little information is available about how adjuvant imatinib influences survival. Methods: We explored recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with ruptured GIST who participated in a randomised trial (SSG XVIII/AIO), where 400 patients with high-risk GIST were allocated to ad

Gender Inequalities: Progress and Challenges

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential for sustainable development. This chapter offers an overview of gender inequalities in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, delving into the historical context of such disparities. The chapter highlights the significant progress made through the implementation of legal frameworks and policies. However, despite the progress made, gender ine

Contextualizing supply chain risk governance in critical infrastructure sectors : insights from the Swedish food system

PurposeCritical infrastructure (CI) sectors and their resilience are vital for societies to function. In many countries, vital societal functions (VSFs) and CIs depend on inter-organizational and international supply chains (SCs) which combine public and private actors with often competing interests and unclear responsibilities that create discontents. While collaborative supply chain risk managem

Vävarens hus/As Imagination Bodies forth - Just in Time

Publikation som gjordes i samband med utställningen Just in time, men ingen traditionell utställningskatalog. Innehåller texter av Gunnar Olsson, Professor emeritus i ekonomisk geografi vid uppsala universitet, som relaterade till utställningen samt några tryck gjorda av bilder från en videoverker "Different Trains". Ett bland flera resultat av det konstnärliga projektet "Mapping and projecting".

Cross-border and Multi-modal Cold Chain Risk Assessment: Applying FMECA on a new Thai-Laos route

Cross-border multi-modal and railway transportation often faces different risks and problems creating delays, sometimes driven by technical or administrative discontents between countries. For cold supply chains, the risks of such delays get even more important to understand and handle, due to the perishable characteristics of the goods. While some previous research has dealt with risk assessment
