The emergence of markets for on-demand online physician consultations —direct-to-consumer telemedicine (DCT) — is currently transforming many healthcare settings. DCT may be a cost-effective substitute for in-person consultations, but the convenience of seeking DCT may increase the demand for the service and consequently also the costs for health insurers. To causally assess the degree to which DC
Antalet äldre ökar snabbt samtidigt som äldreomsorgen står inför växande utmaningar när det gäller personalförsörjning och resurser. Välfärdsteknik har därför lyfts fram som ett sätt att effektivisera verksamheten och göra det möjligt för fler äldre att bo kvar hemma längre. Samtidigt är kunskapen begränsad om hur tekniken samvarierar med kostnader, kvalitet och andra centrala utfall i äldreomsorg
National quality registries provide valuable opportunities for prospective, standardised follow-up of clinical outcomes over long periods. In cleft care, such long-term data remain limited internationally, particularly beyond childhood. The Swedish National Cleft Lip and Palate (CL/P) Registry, established in 1999 with predefined variables and standardised follow-ups, enables longitudinal evaluati
Biocoal is a fossil- free reductant in metallurgical processes. Due to the increasing use, risks associated with self-heating needs to be better understood. In this work, the apparent activation energy and reaction kinetics of a commercial biocoal were investigated using isothermal calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and basket heating tests, including the c
Background Artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have demonstrated clinically significant performance in mammographic screening in both retrospective and prospective studies. However, the role of AI in early cancer detection requires further evaluation. Purpose To demonstrate how AI scores in individuals diagnosed with breast cancer may increase up to 10 years b
Positive and balancing selection on pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is widely thought to target ligand-binding domains and affect the specificity of recognition of different pathogens. Alternatively, positive/balancing selection on PRRs could affect general responsiveness by targeting for example signaling domains or cis-regulatory variation. Studies of a wild rodent (the bank vole, Clethrion
The purpose of this study was to examine how healthcare counsellors, working within the fields of habilitation and psychiatry in Region Skåne, discuss neuropsychiatric diagnoses and the approach to patients within this group. The aim was also to investigate how societal and research-driven shifts in the perception of these diagnoses affect the work of healthcare social workers. The study was condu
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has long been a powerful solution to various problems in communication networks. However, traditional RL models still face several limitations. Not only do they rely on large numbers of interactions with the environment, but they are also limited in terms of modeling long-term relationships and tackling partial observability. In recent years, the Transformer model has d
Growing evidence shows that air pollution exposure plays a critical role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. Pollutants such as airborne particles smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) are linked to systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction, thereby increasing the risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke and myocardial infarction. Understanding the patho
The importance of gut microbiota in early life and the contribution of breast milk to human health and disease prevention has attracted extensive attention as studied by culture-independent metagenomic technologies. However, the fraction and assembled dynamics of culturable early gut and breast milk microbiota remain unexplored. In this study, longitudinal culture-enriched metagenomic sequenc
Wastewater has been recognized as a source of valuable energy and water resources, and high-salinity wastewater in particular provides an opportunity to harness salinity gradient energy. In this study, cation-selective graphitic carbon nitride/silk nanofiber (C3N4/SNF) nanofluidic membranes with different SNF amounts were fabricated and characterized. The C3N4/SNF membrane (with 10 wt% SNF) displa
Wild edible fruits are underexplored sources of nutrients and bioactives. This study assessed the bioactive profileand in vitro functional properties of four Mozambican wild fruits: Adansonia digitata (AD), Dialium schlechteri (DS),Garcinia livingstonei (GL), and Syzygium cordatum (SC). Phenolic compounds (PCs), dietary fibers (DF), minerals,and sugars were analyzed along with phenolic bioaccessibWild edible fruits are underexplored sources of nutrients and bioactives.

This video essay explores material-discursive listenings through embodied and co-creative relationships with textile materials as non-human companions. Building on the PhD thesis Crafting Material Bodies – Exploring Co-creative Costume Processes, the essay extends the notion of ‘listening with costume’ (Østergaard 2024) toward textile materials, arguing that such listenings unfold through touch, m
This paper draws on Karen Barad’s agential realism - which understands agency asrelational rather than individually possessed (2007) - to examine how costumes canact as active hosts capable of creating temporary, sensorial, and co-constitutedcollectives; tactile agents that co-create relational bodies. Central to this approachis embracing the differences bodies bring - their varied orientations, h
