Wildlife disease surveillance is an important tool for combating disease emergence and spread that may have negative ecological, social, and economic impacts, including prevention of new pandemics. This study aims to understand what motivates people in Sweden to voluntary perform the behaviour of reporting and submitting a wildlife carcass for wildlife disease surveillance. Six qualitative focus g
Testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) is an important part of the production process. The development and generation of tests is however a labour-intensive process that requires expertise and deep understanding of the PCB. As generative Artificial Intelligence in form of Large Language Models (LLMs) as evolved, we explore its use for PCBs test generation. The main question is: for a given design s

Introduction/objectivesInfective endocarditis (IE) caused by non-HACEK Gram-negative bacteria (nHGNB) is uncommon. In the 2023 Duke-ISCVID diagnostic criteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens were added as “typical” pathogens. We examine the consequences of this addition, the risk of IE in bacteremia from nHGNB species and the features of IE caused by nHGNB.Materials and methodsnHGN

Shape memory alloys based on the Ni–Ti system derive their versatile properties from the non-stoichiometric intermetallic compound NiTi. The transformation temperature associated with its shape memory effect is dependent on composition, which can be controlled by minor additions of a third element like iron. This work considers the formation of various intermetallic compounds and the evolution of
Purpose: How national culture induces entrepreneurship and business growth remains elusive in research. Questions remain, for example, how can we determine whether a given national culture is good or bad for entrepreneurial activities? What are those pro-entrepreneurship national culture dimensions that could be promoted across nations? These questions are yet open for discussion. The purpose of t
We have used grazing incidence X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) to investigate the behavior of monolayer FeO (Formula presented.) films on Pt(111) under near ambient pressure CO oxidation conditions with a total gas pressure of 1 bar. Spectra indicate reversible changes during oxidation and reduction by O (Formula presented.) and CO at 150 °C, attributed to a transformation between
This paper examines the identity and origins of Swedish inventors prior to WWI, drawing on the universe of patent records linked to census data. We document that the rise of innovation during Sweden's industrialization can largely be attributed to a small industrial elite belonging to the upper-Tail of the economic, educational, and social status distribution. Analyzing children's opportunities to
To increase women’s interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), interventions that target self-efficacy and belongingness are needed. For this purpose, this study designed and tested two interventions. In Study 1, we tested if a video with female role models increases young women’s expected belongingness and interest in engineering. In Study 2, we tested if positive feedba
This concert featured the world premiere of new music for serpent from the composers Orlando Bass, Henrik Denerin, Athena Corcoran-Tadd, and Jesse Ronneau (the latter also with live electronics). The concert opened with a performance of a 17th-century work from Girolamo Frescobaldi with Orlando Bass on harpsichord. There was also a visual presentation, illustrating the history of the serpent and b
The polymer electrolyte fuel cells are electrochemical devices that can produce electricity, water, and heat through chemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. This manuscript focuses on one detailed state of degradation, called as Membrane Chemical Stability and Metrics. The Accelerated Stress Test under study was standardized by the Department of Energy. Recent advancements in the study of degra
Unlike any other group of animals, all ant species are social: individual ants share the food they gather with their nestmates and as a consequence they must repeatedly leave their nest to find food and then return home with it. These back-and-forth foraging trips have been studied for about a century and much of our growing understanding of the strategies underlying animal navigation has come fro
