Associated Trio is the newest sub-regional format of cooperation in Europe, counting only a year since its foundation in May 2021 by the three member states: Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. It shares some similarities with the Visegrad Group, the most prominent cross-country cooperation format of the Central European states. The most important common feature of these two groups is that their member

En uppskattning på en fjärdedel av all våld som sker i nära relationer anmäls till polisen. Våld i nära relationer är komplex i sin natur som i sin tur orsakar ett omfattande mörkertal. Första gången en kvinna utsätts för våld tror hon att det är en engångsföreteelse. Efter ett antal upprepade våldshandlingar förskjuts hennes gränser och hennes verklighet cirkulerar kring mannens verklighet. Hon iAn estimate around a quarter of victims by domestic violence is reported to the police. Violence in intimate relationships has a complex nature that causes substantial number of unrecorded cases. The first time a woman is subjected to violence, she thinks it is a one-time occurrence. After a number of repeated acts of violence, her boundaries shift and her reality revolves around the man's rea

Majoriteten av världens extremt fattiga bor i rurala områden och 300 miljoner av dem i Indien och Kina. Trots att länderna kommit en bit på vägen i sin strukturella omvandling arbetar fortfarande runt hälften av befolkningen på landsbygden inom jordbruket. De direkta och indirekta effekterna som den primära sektorn skapar har visat sig viktiga av olika anledningar. Hur detta kommer sig undersöks n

BACKGROUND: Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii remains a global concern with its ability to adhere, disperse and sustain in areas involving suboptimal infection control measures, particularly in war areas. In this study we aimed to evaluate the susceptibility profiles, molecular epidemiology and pathogenesis of A. baumannii isolates from conflict zones in Ukraine.METHODS: A. baumannii wou

Ultrasmooth solution-processable quasi-2D perovskite thin films are of critical importance for many optoelectronic devices. In this work, we fabricated an ultrasmooth intermediate-phase free quasi-2D (PEA)2(FA)n−1PbnBr3n+1 perovskite film by using antisolvents with different polarities and boiling points to engineer the crystallization process. The XRD patterns of the perovskite powder showed that

The construction of heterojunctions between catalysts and cocatalysts is a widely recognized strategy to enhance catalytic activity. The precise placement of cocatalysts is widely understood to optimize charge transfer pathways and catalytic active sites. In this study, we demonstrate that site-selective decoration on an anisotropic catalyst, achieved by modulating solvent polarity and precursor r

The new ACR/EULAR classification criteria for APS differ from the previous Sydney criteria by incorporating a broader range of clinical manifestations beyond venous/arterial thromboembolism and obstetric complications. These include microvascular disease, heart valve disease and thrombocytopenia. We applied both classification systems to a cohort of 139 individuals diagnosed with primary APS in So

BACKGROUND: To investigate the effects of different types of parental health status on child development and health, valid parental distress measurement instruments are needed. The aim was to assess the psychometric measurement properties of the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) used during the postnatal year in community samples of Swedish mothers and fathers.METHODS: Data were c

Critical-sized bone defects remain a significant unmet clinical need, with > 500,000 reconstructive procedures performed annually in the United States and Europe and associated costs exceeding US$3 billion. Autologous bone grafting—the current gold standard—suffers from limited harvest volume and donor-site morbidity, whereas allografts show variable integration and carry immunological and infecti

All together now: discover how the collective behaviour of atoms, humans, and birds inspire researchers to make new light-emitting materials and devices.

INTRODUCTION: Flexible bronchoscopy is regarded as a safe examination and is commonly used in the diagnostic work-up for lung diseases, but is also important in pulmonary research. We aimed to investigate participants' experiences when undergoing bronchoscopy in a research setting.METHODS: Participants were recruited from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS). A subset from this coho

This paper examines the implications of platforms as a repertoire for knowing and relating the intensities of pandemic restrictions on teaching and schoolwork. Building on platformisation in education, what work platforms do in unpredictable everyday pedagogical encounters is investigated. Specifically, the paper explores a methodological potential with platforms’ capabilities to pull some things

The glioblastoma (GBM) microenvironment undergoes adaptations to support tumor progression, including a dysregulated extracellular matrix, with altered heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans. We investigated N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase-1 (NDST1) because NDSTs are initial modifying enzymes of HS biosynthesis and have key roles in designing the HS sulfation pattern. This, in turn governs interactio

An integrated framework is introduced and applied to assess the health impact of airborne pollution with greater physiological relevance, moving beyond conventional exposure metrics. Measured particle number size distribution data was integrated with a regional respiratory tract deposition fractions to estimate total and alveolar deposited particle surface area concentrations. Land use regression

This doctoral thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into action-detected two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (A-2DES), from the technical development of a state-of-the-art apparatus to its application in elucidating ultrafast dynamics in advanced materials and biological systems. The work is founded on the design and implementation of an A-2DES setup centered on a single acousto-optic

Template-assisted crystal engineering provides a powerful strategy for constructing ordered networks tailored to organic electronic applications. We introduce a solution-based strategy to fabricate crystalline needle-like arrays of charge-transfer complexes (CTCs) between electron-donating benzo(ghi)perylene (BP) and electron-accepting TCNQ. Well-defined square-crystals of BP polymorphs were emplo
