With growing urbanization and increase in energy demand for space heating and cooling in buildings, reliability, security, distribution of energy and its efficient end use is of utmost importance particularly when emissions from energy use and indoor thermal comfort of the end users isof question. Numerous solutions have been put forth in the field of effective distribution of thermal
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the importance of potentially inappropriate medications, number of medications and chronic conditions for the risk of hospitalisation among an elderly population. Design This is a case-control study. Setting Population-based study in 2013 of all individuals aged 75 years and older (17 203) in the county of Blekinge in the southeast of Sweden. Participants
Human biomonitoring (HBM) frameworks assess human exposure to hazardous chemicals. In this review, we discuss and summarize sample preparation procedures and analytical methodology for six groups of chemicals of emerging concern (CECs), namely diisocyanates, benzotriazoles, benzothiazoles, 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, isothiazolinones, fragrances, and non-phthalate plasticizers, which are increasi
Background: Many traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment protocols, including the Lund concept, advocate the highest point of the subarachnoid space (typically the vertex) as the zero-reference point for intracranial pressure (ICP) and the level of the right atrium as the zero-reference point for mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). In 2017, at the Department of Neurosurgery in Lund, Sweden, the zer
A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large
Objective: Survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS describes the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors including overweight or obesity, hypertension, (pre)diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. While associated cardiovascular sequelae can be serious, MetS is preventable, manageable, and potentially reversible with the ap
Offering supports for young adults with mental health problems in their educational and vocational pursuits promotes well-being, social inclusion, and self-sufficiency. It is therefore important that welfare actors offer services to this group. However, in Sweden, with a tradition of local self-governance and municipal autonomy, decisions regarding which services to offer may depend on perceptions

Background: Globalization is a phenomenon which has been around since the mid- 19th century, influencing companies to either expand existing markets or entering new markets, to seek new profits. For companies with a global supply chain, the total supply chain cost is a vital factor. It is of high importance to reduce the costs in the supply chain, as lower costs will increase the profit. The case
This paper aims to examine the arguments proposed by the Obama administration regarding a U.S. military intervention in Syria due to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime in 2013. During his presidency, Obama stated that the He draws a ‘red line’ at the use of chemical weapons against civilians, but the threat proved to be empty a year later when thousands of people were killed in a che
In light of the growing “coherence” between humanitarianism and political actions in today’s world, does aid remain conducive to socio-economic improvement, or does it inhibit the ushering of much needed change? In the context of this study, the besieged population of Gaza organized large weekly demonstrations known as the Great Return March (2018-2020) to demand their basic political, economic an
Although the Bangsamoro peace-process in the Southern Philippines has been valued for its gender commitments and potential to build just and sustainable peace, discrimination of the Bangsamoro peoples and other minorities prevail. This thesis uncovers how women peace advocates understand social justice and its remedies in the context of the Bangsamoro peace-process, and which opportunities they ha
Sinusitis is a common disease caused by a virus or bacteria, with 84% to 91% of cases caused by a viral pathogen. However, physicians prescribe antibiotics for this disease in 85% of all cases. GPX Medical is a company working on the development of a medical device which, by means of absorption spectroscopy, can determine whether the disease is caused by virus or bacteria supporting, thus, the doc
This essay explores four English teachers’ views on their methods of teaching vocabulary, as well as the incorporation of translanguaging in their teaching of English vocabulary. The study investigates what the teachers’ preferred methods of teaching vocabulary are and whether they rely more on implicit or explicit vocabulary teaching.

Sedan urminnes tider har frågor om etik och moral haft stor inverkan på människors liv. I den globaliserade och digitala värld vi idag lever i är dessa fortfarande aktuella, men har kommit att förändras. Då vi har gått från att befinna oss i en kollektiv till en konnektiv kontext, och vår kommunikation inte längre enbart sker ansikte mot ansikte, har nya etiska och moraliska frågor uppkommit. Den
