We present the results of extensive beam dynamic simulations that have been carried out in order to study the non-linear effects of an electromagnetic elliptical wiggler, presently under construction for ELETTRA, using different symplectic tracking methods implemented in the codes BETA and RACETRACK.

Background: Febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most severe bacterial infections in infants, in which a subset of patients develops complications. Identifying infants at risk of recurrent infections or kidney damage based on clinical signs is challenging. Previous observations suggest that genetic factors influence UTI outcomes and could serve as predictors of disease severity. I

Horismenus Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is one of the largest genera in Eulophidae, and additional collecting in tropical America will undoubtedly add numerous new species. Here we describe nine new species of Horismenus from material collected in Brazil, mainly in Atlantic Forest remnants: H. amplicavus sp. nov., H. atlanticus sp. nov., H. bilineatus sp. nov., H. crastoensis sp. nov., H. nova

Objectives: This study aims to determine the independent impact of definitions of remission/low disease activity (LDA) on direct/indirect costs (DCs, ICs) in a multicentre inception cohort. Methods: Patients from 31 centres in 10 countries were enrolled within 15 months of diagnosis and assessed annually. Five mutually exclusive disease activity states (DAS) were defined as (1) remission off-treat

The aim of this study was to investigate whether seafarers' self-reported work experiences were associated with wellbeing and happiness while onboard. The study also examined which indicators of the work experiences had an effect in what direction. We analyzed the survey responses from 13 008 seafarers onboard, from 154 different nationalities, serving in 44 different international shipping compan

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the role and extent of health promotion lifestyle interventions targeting adults in primary care, and especially those who are considered overall healthy, i.e. to study the outcomes of research applying salutogenesis. We performed a literature review, with three specific aims. First, to identify studies that have targeted the healthy p

Major companies in the mining industry are strategizing to benefit from the expected rise in demand for energy"transition minerals" that underpin current technologies of decarbonization (such as batteries and wind turbines).This article elucidates their current strategies of accumulation through the case of BHP, the world's largest miningcompany. We draw on political ecology and commodity frontier

This study explores how the Fire and Rescue Service can better prepare for solving complex problems in emergencies by using the concept of problems and problem-solving networks. Primary and secondary data from an extensive fire incident were analysed, including semi-structured interviews and incident assessment reports. Complex problems that arise during emergencies can be challenging to define, a

This paper reframes our understanding of the discourse on work-life balance (WLB) from a global perspective, where life on the four income levels (from bottom of the wealth to top of the wealth) is equally considered. Based on a systematic literature review, our initial insights are that WLB of workers in the highest economic sectors has received significant attention from scholars and practitione

Background: The Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling was monumental for sexual and reproductive health and rights in the United States. This shifted the legislative power over the right to an abortion from federal to state government. Missouri’s post- Roe legislation banned abortion statewide. Health care providers (HCPs) are facing unique facilitators and barriers t

Gorée is a small island 2 kilometres off the coast of Dakar, Senegal, known as a significant location of the Transatlantic slave trade, and a destination for locals and tourists interested in the subject. From French colonial cultural policies to post-independence national discourses, several buildings on Gorée became places where memory was crystalised and publicised. The most prominent being the

Bakgrund: Fotboll är globalt sett den mest utbredda och populära lagsporten som varje år lockar till sig nya utövare. Sporten är komplex och spelarna ställs inför olika fysiska utmaningar under såväl träning som match. Ett återkommande problem för i stort sett alla sporter och speciellt fotboll är skaderisken. Fysioterapeuter kan därför arbeta både förebyggande och åtgärdande med fotbollsspelare.

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan autistiska drag, sensorisk sensitivitet och vänskapsrelationer i vuxen normalpopulation. Det undersöktes även om det förekom några könsskillnader i kvalitet i vänskapsrelationer. Metod: Studien bestod av 115 deltagare i åldrarna 18-65 år och data erhölls via frågeformulär. Datan analyserades i SPSS genom en hierarkisk multipel regressioPurpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between autistic traits, sensory processing and the quality of friendships in the general adult population. It was also investigated whether there were any gender differences in quality of friendship. Method: The study consisted of 115 participants aged 18-65 years, and data was obtained through questionnaires. The data was analyze

Syfte. I nuläget används narrativ bedömning begränsat i klinik. Syftet med uppsatsen var att bidra till att öka möjligheten till klinisk användning av Internal State Terms (IST) i språklig bedömning av narrativ förmåga. Syftet var också att bidra till tydliggörande av definitioner för de olika kategorierna av IST. Detta undersöktes genom att studera användningen av IST hos barn i förskoleåldern, sPurpose. The use of narrative assessment in clinical practice is limited. The purpose of this thesis was to contribute to the feasibility of using Internal State Terms (IST) when assessing narrative ability. In addition, we hoped to contribute to clearer definitions of the different categories of IST. Number of IST and types of IST used by preschool children were studied. The hypotheses were that

Photocatalysis plays a crucial role in harnessing renewable energy by efficiently converting solar energy into chemical energy. Adequate cognition of photogenerated charge carrier dynamics in photocatalysis is the key to realizing efficient solar energy utilization, and provides guidance for breaking through the efficiency bottleneck. However, a convincing correlation between those photophysical p

Climate change is an issue affecting societies worldwide. As temperatures, precipitation patterns, and sea levels change, our buildings and properties are in danger. Therefore, it is crucial for real estate companies to adapt their properties to the effects of climate change as they will be impacted. To help companies make environmentally sustainable economic activities, the European Union has imp
