The COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic loss of human lives worldwide and presented an unprecedented challenge to public health, tourism and community relations. Previous research on the relationship between xenophobia and travel behavior is limited, especially in the context of concerns over potential contagion. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between xenophobia and travel behavio

Renewable energy (RE) integrated with a hybrid electric-hydrogen storage system (HEHSS) is considered a promising solution for data centers to increase their energy efficiency and decrease their greenhouse emissions. This paper proposes a forecasting based hierarchical energy management strategy for a data center with wind energy, tidal energy and HEHSS, which is taken as a microgrid. A multi-popu

Introduction: The European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major pest insect in maize. New cultivars and climate change have allowed range expansion of the crop northwards in Europe, and a similar range expansion of associated pests has been predicted. ECB exists as two distinct pheromone strains using different blends of (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate and

This thesis explores how different museums choose to present the same type of material. The study focuses on Anglo-Saxon material, from between 500 and 800 A.D. The exhibitions that have been selected deal with the Sutton Hoo ship burial, which is exhibited at the British Museum in London, and the Staffordshire Hoard, which has been exhibited both at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and at

OBJECTIVES: Early diagnosis of critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) improves survival. We evaluated the relative contributions of prenatal ultrasound, neonatal pulse oximetry screening (POS), and neonatal physical examination (NPE) to the early detection (before discharge) of CCHD in the context of increasing prenatal detection, and POS being a national standard since 2013. METHODS: Retrospect

The advent of 6G wireless communication marks a transformative era in technological connectivity, bringing forth challenges and opportunities alike. This paper unveils an innovative, open-source simulator, meticulously crafted for cell-free 6G wireless networks. This simulator is not just a tool but a gateway to the future, blending cutting-edge channel models with the simulation of both physical

Cerebral folate transport deficiency, caused by a genetic defect in folate recep-torα, is a devastating neurometabolic disorder that, if untreated, leads to epi-leptic encephalopathy, psychomotor decline and hypomyelination. Currently,there are limited data on effective dosage and duration of treatment, thoughearly diagnosis and therapy with folinic acid appears critical. The aim of thislong-term

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of an interactive web-based support system via mobile phone on preference-based patient participation in patients with hypertension treated in primary care (compared with standard hypertensive care only). DESIGN: A parallel group, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial, conducted October 2018-February 2021. Besides standard hypertensive care, the intervention

We introduce the use of correlative third-harmonic generation and multiphoton-induced luminescence microscopy to investigate the impact of manganese (Mn) doping to bismuth (Bi)-based perovskite-inspired nanocrystal thin films. The technique was found to be extremely sensitive to the microscopic features of the perovskite film and its structural compositions, allowing the unambiguous detection of c

Background: The functional benefits of total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) over total wrist fusion (TWF) are unknown. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to compare TWA and TWF with respect to functional outcomes and activitylimitations at up to 2 years postoperatively.Methods: Between 2015 and 2020, we enrolled all adult patients undergoing TWA or TWF for the management of symptomatic end

In this study we derive analytically the equilibrium melting probabilities for basepairs of a DNA molecule with a defect site. We assume that the defect is characterized by a change in the Watson-Crick basepair energy of the defect basepair, and in the associated two stacking energies for the defect, as compared to the remaining parts of the DNA. The defect site could, for instance, occur due to D

In October 2019, Zlatan Ibrahimović, the most successful and famous Swedish football player ever, was honoured with a monument by the Swedish Football Association and the city of Malmö. Born in Malmö in 1981, Ibrahimović grew up in a migrant area of the city (Rosengård). Growing up, he played football in local teams, and at the age of 19 he was sold by Malmö FF to Ajax for the highest transfer fee

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the trends in the incidence, prevalence and survival of patients on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) across Europe from 2008 to 2017. Methods: Data from renal registries in 9 countries and 16 regions that provided individual patient data to the ERA Registry from 2008 to 2017 were included. These registries cover

Bakgrund: Den vanligaste orsaken till sjukhusinläggning av barn via ambulans är andningsbesvär. Barns luftvägar skiljer sig anatomiskt från vuxna och barn har därför en ökad risk för att drabbas av hypoxi. Ambulanssjuksköterskans prehospitala möte med barn har visats kunna orsaka osäkerhet och nervositet hos ambulanssjuksköterskan. Det saknas djupare förståelse för ambulanssjuksköterskans erfarenh

Bakgrund: Delaktighet i organiserad fritidsaktivitet är en viktig aspekt av barns fritid då det bidrar till glädje, kompetens, identitet och god folkhälsa. Dock har barn med cerebral pares (CP) mindre möjlighet att vara delaktiga i organiserade fritidsaktiviteter än barn utan funktionsnedsättning. Föräldrars stöd har visat sig vara en viktig förutsättning för barnens engagemang i fritidsaktiviteteBackground: Participation in organized leisure activities is an important aspect of children's leisure as it creates joy, competence, identity and good public health. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have less opportunity to participate in organized leisure activities than children without disabilities. Parental support is an important prerequisite for children's involvement in leisure ac

This study provides information about the concentration of Tungsten (W), Hafnium (Hf) and Tantal (Ta) in the ESS soil and recommendations on the most appropriate sample preparation and measurement technique to assess contamination by these elements. The current levels of W, Hf and Ta measured in this study are in agreement with the estimated values from previous geological surveys. ICP MS showed l

Background: Newborn infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) are exposed to multiple painful and stressful procedures. The aim of this systematic review was to assess benefits and harms of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for the management of pain and sedation in newborn infants undergoing TH for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Methods: We included randomized and obse
