Background: As the deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals approaches, financial protection in Cambodia remains inadequate, especially for nonpoor informal workers lacking formal social health protection coverage or access to other prepayment schemes. This exposes them to high out-of-pocket health expenditures (OOPE) and related financial hardship. To better understand the drivers behind th

Att arbeta hemifrån har de senaste åren blivit allt vanligare. Inför framtiden spås att den fysiska, ordinarie arbetsplatsen kommer att bli än mindre viktig och att fler kommer att vilja arbeta på distans helt eller delvis. Ett reviderat EU-direktiv ger dessutom småbarnsföräldrar och anhörigvårdare möjlighet att begära att få arbeta på distans av omsorgsskäl. Arbetsmarknadens parter har sedan längIn recent years working from home has become much more prevalent. It is predicted that the physical, regular workplace will become even less important in the future and that more people will want to work remotely in whole or in part. A revised EU directive gives parents of young children and carers the opportunity to request to work remotely for care reasons. Early on, Sweden’s labour market partn

The purpose with this report is twofold. 1) To examine the safety-work in Swedish communities and 2) how progressive changes can be integrated into the present work. The aim is to counsel community risk- and safety work through: - Describing different safety actors involved in the areas of responsibility and cooperation. - Give suggestions on present models to achieve safe communities. - Summari

IntroductionUse of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for more than 15 h per day does not reduce mortality or hospitalizations, but may increase the risk of adverse events. We evaluated the relationship between daily oxygen use duration and adverse events, symptoms, and health status in patients on LTOT.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey study of a random sample (N = 650) of adults with ongoing

The incidence of melanoma is rising and will require more efficient diagnostic procedures to meet a growing demand. Excisional biopsy and histopathology is still the standard, which often requires multiple surgical incisions with increasing margins due inaccurate visual assessment of where the melanoma borders to healthy tissue. This challenge stems, in part, from the inability to reliably delinea

Satellite- and reanalysis-based precipitation products are important data source for precipitation, particularly in areas with a sparse gauge network. Here, five open-access precipitation products, including the newly released China Meteorological Assimilation Driving Datasets for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model (CMADS) reanalysis dataset and four widely used bias-adjusted satellit

The seasonal timing of moult in migratory birds is an adaptation to cope with time constraints in the annual cycle. Kiat and Izhaki analysed moult patterns in Palaearctic passerines and rejected the proposition that seasonally divided moult is an endogenously controlled strategy. Instead, they advocated the view that it occurs due to a flexible and opportunistic timing of moult. In contrast, we ar

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a central role in the vertebrate adaptive immune system and has been of long-term interest in evolutionary biology. While several protocols have been developed for MHC genotyping, there is a lack of transparent and standardized tools for downstream analysis of MHC data. Here, we present the r package mhctools and demonstrate the use of its functions

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes and genomic architecture underlying these adaptations are poorly understood. Here, we genotype 192 great tits (Parus major) from nine European cities, each paired with an adjacent rural site, to address this major knowledge ga

IntroductionHousing shortage due to population growth within metropolitan areas, combined with an ageing population has put pressure on current housing provision policies in Sweden. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable housing policies to accommodate the growing number of seniors in accessible home environments. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how municipaliti

The repeated occurrence of severe wildfires has highlighted the need for development of effective vegetation moisture monitoring tools. The normalized difference infrared index (NDII) derived from SPOT Vegetation satellite data and the Keetch-Byram drought index derived from temperature and rainfall data are both related to vegetation moisture dynamics. Autocorrelation of time series is a major is

Haemolysis occurring during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is assumed to be a risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Plasma alpha-1 microglobulin (A1M) may have a protective role as haem scavenger. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between AKI and the degree of haemolysis and the course of A1M concentrations during cardiac surgery, respectiv

Billions of birds migrate every year. To conduct a successful migration, birds undergo a multitude of physiological adaptions. One such adaptation includes adjustments of immune function, however, little is known about intraspecies (between-individual) and interspecies (between-species) variation in immune modulations during migration. Here, we explore if early and late migrating individuals diffe

To reach a broader understanding of person-environment relationships as building blocks for universal design in research and practice, this paper combine and discuss three types of interaction between individuals and environments - instrumental, non-instrumental, and non-physical - and five constituent concepts, i.e. accessibility, usability, aesthetic experience, the experience of meaning and emo

BACKGROUND: Calprotectin (S100A8/A9) is a pro-inflammatory mediator primarily released from neutrophils. Previous studies have revealed associations between plasma calprotectin, disease severity and in-hospital mortality in unselected COVID-19 patients.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess whether plasma calprotectin dynamics during the first week of intensive care are associated with mortality and functi

Objective: To evaluate in low-risk pregnancies if longitudinal change in cerebro-placental ratio (CPR) between 37 and 40 weeks of pregnancy is associated with cesarean section (CS) for non-reassuring fetal status (NRFS) during labor. Methods: This is a prospective observational study of women with singleton low-risk pregnancies who underwent an ultrasound scan at 36 + 0 to 37 + 6 and 39 + 0 to 41

In this work, we exploited time-resolved fluorescence polarization anisotropy (TRFA) to characterize un-doped and doped carbon dots (CDs). The rotational correlation time related to the size of the particle through classical Stokes-Einstein-Debye equation. The TRFA technique applied in this study achieves picoseconds time resolution, which approximately corresponds to the particle size determinati
