By employing seven semi-structured interviews with local judges and prosecutors in Kosovo, this study aims at examining how the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) has impacted the legal order in Kosovo and the practice of the judges and prosecutors. In addition, this study examines how the impacts of EULEX, and how the judges and prosecutors will be affected after the EULEX are withdrawn f

The purpose of this study was to describe changes in smoking behaviour and exposure to passive smoking among hospital employees at a large Danish University Hospital (Bispebjerg Hospital) from 1992 until 1999 as part of a program toward a smoke-free hospital. The study was based upon three cross-sectional self-administered questionnaires surveys carried out among all employees at the hospital - ap

This report assesses the phenomenon of in-work poverty in Sweden inrelation to the four specific VUP groups identified within the Working, Yet Poor project. It is shown that the main drivers of in-work poverty in Sweden are not related to the wage setting system as dealt with through collective bargaining as such. Rather, in-work poverty is more closely associated with work-intensity affecting wor

The first great ruler to encourage the adoption of Western culture and technology throughout Siam was King Narai, who also had a passion for astronomy. He showed this by encouraging French and other Jesuit missionaries, some with astronomical interests and training, to settle in Siam from the early 1660s. One of these was Father Antoine Thomas, and he was the first European known to have carried o

Tungsten (W) and its alloys exhibit impressive properties for use in structural components of nuclear fusion reactors. However, impurity induced embrittlement of W grain boundaries (GBs) is a major concern for reactor applications, and necessitates the investigation of the impact of the impurities on the fracture behaviour of the GBs. This work comprises four papers (I-IV) that deal with atomistic

Recent years have brought new directionality to university’s work with innovation – increasing the focus on addressing societal challenges and contributing to much broader frames for impact. Working with complex challenges, where no one actor can do everything by themselves, requires collaboration across actor groups (private sector, academia, public sector, civil society), industrial sectors, dis

Given the global climate crisis, the electrification of road transport has accelerated in recent decades as a strategy to mitigate global greenhouse gas emissions, with the share of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) increasing exponentially. While BEVs provide substantial environmental advantages during their operational phase compared to combustion-powered vehicles, they require an extensive charg

Microplastics are increasingly recognized as a pervasive pollutant in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, raising pressing concerns about their ecological impacts and implications for human health. Traditional detection and quantification methods—including manual microscopy and standalone spectroscopic techniques—offer reliable accuracy but are limited by labor-intensive procedures and low

Background: Limited evidence exists for effect modification of genetic characteristics on the associations of food consumption and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether the food-T2D association would vary by genetic susceptibility to metabolic traits. Methods: We analyzed data from 9542 incident T2D cases and a subcohort of 12,477 participants nested within th

STUDY QUESTIONDoes endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, diagnosed using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group and the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group revised definitions, impact cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after three consecutive IVF or ICSI treatments?SUMMARY ANSWERWomen with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, as diagnosed using transvaginal ultras

AbstractEyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision.

Highlights: What are the main findings? Health for adolescents with depression was described in terms of managing everyday life, building confidence and trust, experiencing joy in life, and supporting well-being. These aspects reflect how health can be understood through daily routines, relationships, emotional experiences, and lifestyle habits. What is the implication of the main finding? The fin

We propose a multimodal deep learning framework for automated analysis ofcat–human communication, integrating acoustic, visual, and tactile signals throughtransformer-based fusion. Using the largest expert-annotated dataset of its kindand interdisciplinary collaboration, we combine semi-supervised learning withethological and phonetic expertise to detect subtle behavioural and phonetic cues,enable

Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab

Proteiner är kroppens byggstenar och behövs bland annat för att reparera celler, bygga upp vävnader och muskler samt bilda enzymer. Proteinbrist kan leda till försämrad hälsa och därför finns rekommendationer att andelen protein i den dagliga kosten bör utgöra 18 E%. Nedbrytning och upptag av proteiner sker från magsäcken till tunntarmen där bland annat olika enzymer är delaktiga i spjälkningen. TProteins are the building blocks of the body and are needed to repair cells, build tissues and muscles and form enzymes. Protein deficiency can lead to deteriorating health and therefore there are recommendations that the proportion of protein in the daily diet should be 18 E%. Digestion and uptake of proteins takes place from the stomach to the small intestine, where various enzymes are involved.

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden.

In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi
