Background and aim – Circular Economy (CE) aims to reduce consumption by retaining value in the system. While several hierarchical frameworks exist for value retention in general CE, the building context is still missing an established hierarchy. This viewpoint paper outlines a hierarchy of circular business models in the building context. Methods / Methodology – This viewpoint paper builds on exi
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare vasculopathy, with high morbidity and mortality. The sensitivity of the current european society of cardiology/european respiratory society (ESC/ERS) risk assessment strategy may be improved by the addition of biomarkers related to PAH pathophysiology. Such plasma-borne biomarkers may also reduce time to diagnosis, if used as diagnostic tools in pati
Radium-226 carbonate was synthesized from radium-barium sulfate (226Ra0.76Ba0.24SO4) at room temperature and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques. XRPD revealed that fractional crystallization occurred and that two phases were formed─the major Ra-rich phase, Ra(Ba)CO3, and a minor Ba-rich phase, Ba(Ra)CO3, crystallizing in
The widespread decline of insect pollinators poses a conservation concern and threatens both the pollination of wild plants and crops. Primary drivers of pollinator decline are habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation, which to a large extent result from agricultural intensification. Numerous tools have been developed to aid decision-making relating to insect pollinators and pollination in agri
On Institutions explores the relation between performance and institutions building on the premise that institutional structures are formed through repeated sets of practices, patterns and relations. Through a performance studies lens that approaches the figure of the institution as verb, this issue considers how institutions are performance and in turn how performance practices may enforce, desta
In Sweden it is now recognized that while teaching should be based on research and proven experience, research-based practice is limited in scope, and classroom teaching is not always informed by findings from educational research. To address this problem, and to develop and test sustainable models of researcher-practitioner collaboration, the Swedish Government has introduced a national system of
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the occurrence of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and addressed the effect of pulmonary hemodynamics and SRBD indices on the severity of nocturnal hypoxemia (NH). Methods: An overnight polysomnography (PSG) was conducted in patients with CTEPH, who were eligible for pulmonary endart
This study examines the influence of the various attributes of smart tourism technologies (STTs) on tourists’ intentions to revisit locations and engage in word-of-mouth (WOM) activities regarding emerging and smart rural tourist destinations in Iran. A sample of 590 tourists who visited these destinations following the COVID-19 pandemic participated in the study. The findings reveal that three at
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) maps RNA level patterns within a tissue. This technology has not been previously applied to human placental tissue. We demonstrate analysis of human placental samples with ST. Unsupervised clustering revealed that distinct RNA patterns were found corresponding to different morphological structures. Additionally, when focusing upon terminal villi and hemoglobin associat
Symmetry-breaking charge separation in molecular materials has attracted increasing attention for optoelectronics based on single-material active layers. To this end, Fe(III) complexes with particularly electron-donating N-heterocyclic carbene ligands offer interesting properties with a 2LMCT excited state capable of oxidizing or reducing the complex in its ground state. In this Communication, we
In her own time, Anne Brontë the writer was regarded as inferior to the two older “Bells”, largely because of the perceived slightness of her first novel and the alleged coarseness and brutality of her second. For the next hundred years, it was accepted that she was a pale second-rater in relation to her sisters. That image has now been discarded; but the notion that Anne Brontë was not quite her
Soil is an interface of the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere that provides a habitat for microbial growth. The microbial biomass forms an integral part of the soil. The physiological potential and diversity of the microbial communities in soils are strongly associated with the physicochemical properties of soils. The biotic and abiotic characteristics determine the structure and
Markis Claes Lagergren är en av den nyare svenska katolska kyrkohistoriens kanske märkligaste konvertiter. Han har i memoarverket "Mitt livs minnen" från 1920-talet skildrat sin konversion och sitt liv fram till 35-årsåldern, alltså perioden 1853 till 1887. Memoarerna bygger på hans dagboksanteckningar, vilka för den följande perioden utgivits i urval och som i original finns i hans samling på Nor
Invasive alien species are frequently discussed in academic literature by practitioners, government agencies, and popular media, but what does it mean for a species to be alien and why it this seen as a bad thing? To answer these questions, I have analysed texts about invasive alien species in academic journals and in communication from government agencies. The almost totally unanimous answer to t
PTSD symptomatology is known to be associated with executive dysfunction. Inhibitory control is a core component of executive functioning, and inhibitory skills are essential both for adequate functioning in everyday life and important in situations following trauma. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between trauma exposure, inhibitory control and PTSD symptomatology in
