Independent-living senior housing (ILSH) is viewed as a promising housing alternative for promoting active aging, yet evidence remains limited on how spatial design and programming support social engagement. This study examined residents’ use of common spaces, evaluations of community programs, and perceived social opportunities in affordable ILSH. A three-site case study in Metro Boston used mixe
AIMS: Osteoarthropathy, a rare foot complication in patients with diabetes mellitus, calls for immediate and optimal management to prevent irreversible bone/joint destruction and risk of amputation. Awareness of the condition and adequate guidelines would minimize the consequences and the costs, both for the patient and for the society. We investigated the diabetic osteoarthropathy care in Swedish
Introduction: Restoration of surgical capacity is essential to post-COVID-19 recovery. This study explored the use and safety of anaesthesia options for inguinal hernia surgery, a common tracer condition, to describe current global practice and highlight opportunities to build the capacity of health systems.Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an international prospective cohort study of conse
Marco Polos klassiska reseskildring har gjort honom till en av tidernas stora resenärer.

The Alevis are not one but many historical and present-day communities in Turkey and Europe with close but not identical beliefs, practices, and identities. Their traditions are linked to Anatolian cultural traditions and to Turkish and Kurdish ethnic differentiations and affiliations influenced by the contentions between Islam and secularism salient in Turkish society. This article gives an overv
We propose an endogenous architecture where a market designer can impose arbitrary restrictions on the price space, the capacity structure, the entitlement structure, and the rationing system (the architectural components). This not only generates a specific matching model, but it also endogenously generates an equilibrium concept, a domain of preference profiles, and a matching mechanism (the arc
Background and Objectives: Navigation systems are designed to enhance surgical precision, improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of implant misplacement. In this study, we have evaluated a novel orthopedic surgical platform that utilizes CT imaging with AI-based algorithms to automate several critical aspects of total hip arthroplasty. It contains three modules-preoperative planning, nav
Background: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated. While dopaminergic treatments have been associated with behavioural adverse effects, the relationship between pramipexole treatment and incident substance use disorder in psychiatric populations remains poorly understoBackground: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated.

The inappropriate parking of free-floating shared bikes is a critical issue that needs to be addressed to realize the potential environmental, socioeconomic, and health benefits of this emerging green mode of transport. To address this challenge, this paper developes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework for geo-fence planning of dockless bi
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global disorder associated with several complications that include micro- and macrovascular disturbances. Conditions affecting the foot make up one of the major complications of the disease. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate how developed the diabetic foot care is in Sweden, with the ultimate goal being to identify areas needing improvement.This
Bakgrund: Barn i livets slutskede och deras familjer har olika och individuella behov. Vid vård av barn i livets slutskede är det därför viktigt med personcentrerad vård.

This thesis analyzes the responsibility and accountability of the Russian Federation for torture and ill-treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war during the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The purpose is to explain the legal protection of POWs under international law, and examine whether these protections are actually meaningful in practice when serious violations continue during an ongo
The International Olympic Committee has taken a range of measures to improve the safeguarding of Olympic values and the role of sport in society. This included several human rights commitments, one of which was to include a human rights clause in the Olympic Host Contract which governs the organisation of the Olympic Games. Because of the negative impact the Olympic Games have had on human rights
This thesis examines the legal and ethical challenges posed by emerging neurotechnologies and the growing debate surrounding neurorights. It analyses whether existing human rights frameworks are capable of protecting individuals against the risks associated with technologies that can access, influence, or alter neural activity, or whether entirely new rights are required. Through a doctrinal and c
The triple planetary crisis calls for urgent changes in the way environmental protection, climate regulation and ecosystem conservation are approached. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities, as it can pro-vide solutions that are more accurate, efficient and rapid than some traditional methods. AI systems have already made significant progress in the environ-mental

Bonded joints is one of the most common connecting methods between components made from Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers, CFRP parts and especially in aviation applications. However, the strength of such bonds is largely affected by the surface preparation, where sanding being the most established but also a very time-consuming option. This thesis investigates the effect that surface preparation h
