The climate crisis calls for a new generation of social policy compatible with planetary limits and economic postgrowth circumstances. This article analyses how some of the pillars of such a new generation of social policy may be conceptualized by highlighting commonalities between the most recent IPCC report and the sustainable welfare literature. Methodologically triangulating content analysis o
Small ponds constructed for nutrient retention, biodiversity conservation or recreation also store large amounts of carbon. The potential role of small ponds for carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions have been highlighted both in the scientific literature and in management plans.

- An increasingly complex geopolitical landscape puts more emphasis on national interests.- The pressures from knowledge securitization need to be handled in order to alsomeaningfully address the needs and opportunities presented by global scientificcollaboration.- Research integrity, ethics, research security, knowledge securitization, equity, andresponsible internationalization need to be consid
Parks and other public spaces play an important role in working class formation. Yet, these placeswere often provided for urban populations by philanthropic elites who in turn set the, oftenunambiguously authoritarian, terms of use. In the Swedish city Malmö, the social democratic labormovement acquired a public park run by the movement itself in 1893 and proclaimed it “ThePeople’s Park”, mimickin
PURPOSETo assess interval cancer rate in a large, prospective digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening trial in comparison with a concurrent screening population and to assess tumor characteristics of interval cancers in DBT-screening.METHOD AND MATERIALSThe prospective ****Trial, comparing digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with digital mammography (DM) in 14,848 women has shown a significant
Whipple´s disease is a rare multisystem condition affecting < 1/1.000.000 per year. The condition often presents with polyarthritis, diarrhea, and intestinal malabsorption. Endocarditis is seen in a minority of these patients, and is typically culture negative, as the causative agent Tropheryma whipplei does not grow in ordinary culture media. We present the case of a 78-year-old man with a histor
Background: Pre-anaesthesia assessment is crucial to ensure the quality and safety of anaesthesia and surgery. However, despite being very common and essential for many patients undergoing elective surgery, little is known about the different pre-anaesthesia assessment approaches. Hence, this article outlines a study protocol for a scoping review aiming to, systematically, map the literature on pr
Bodily engagement with the material and sociocultural world is ubiquitous in doing and learning science. However, science education researchers have often tended to emphasize the disembodied and nonmaterial aspects of science learning, thereby overlooking the crucial role of the body in meaning-making processes. While in recent years we have seen a turn towards embracing embodied perspectives, the
INTRODUCTION: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is the leading cause of overdose morbidity and mortality globally. Retention in opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is crucial as it effectively reduces overdose mortality among individuals suffering from OUD. Previous research on treatment retention among heroin-dependent individuals referred from needle exchange programs (NEP) to OAT is scarce, and with predict
An online survey of 691 clinicians who use hypnosis was conducted in 31 countries to gain a broad real-world picture of current practices, views, and experiences in clinical hypnosis. Among 36 common clinical uses, stress reduction, wellbeing and self-esteem-enhancement, surgery preparations, anxiety interventions, mindfulness facilitation, and labor and childbirth applications were the most frequ
Objective: To evaluate in low-risk pregnancies if longitudinal change in cerebro-placental ratio (CPR) between 37 and 40 weeks of pregnancy is associated with cesarean section (CS) for non-reassuring fetal status (NRFS) during labor. Methods: This is a prospective observational study of women with singleton low-risk pregnancies who underwent an ultrasound scan at 36 + 0 to 37 + 6 and 39 + 0 to 41
Maternal vitamin D levels during pregnancy may be important for reproductive health in male offspring by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation during development. We conducted a follow-up study of 827 young men from the Fetal Programming of Semen Quality (FEPOS) cohort, nested in the Danish National Birth Cohort to investigate if maternal vitamin D levels were associated with measures
Background: A modulating effect of aluminium regarding type IV reactions might exist but has not been further investigated. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on patch test reactions when adding aluminium chloride hexahydrate (Al-Cl) to common test preparations. Materials and methods: Al-Cl in different concentrations was added to nickel sulphate 15.0% aqua (Ni), methy
När Neil Armstrong som första människa klev ner på månens yta 1969 markerade hans steg kulmen på en intensiv kapplöpning mellan USA och Sovjetunionen om att utforska rymden. Bakom de kostsamma satsningarna på allt större och mer avancerade raketer fanns både nationell prestige och säkerhetspolitiska intressen.I Kampen om rymden skildrar historikern och skribenten Björn Lundberg hur kalla krigets s
Urban building energy models present a valuable tool for promoting energy efficiency in building design and control, as well as for managing urban energy systems. However, the current models often overlook the importance of site-specific characteristics, as well as the spatial attributes and variations within a specific area of a city. This methodological paper moves beyond state-of-the-art urban
Recent studies have reported early cerebellar and subcortical impact in the disease progression of genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD) due to microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), progranulin (GRN) and chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72). However, the cerebello-subcortical circuitry in FTD has been understudied despite its essential role in cognition and behaviors related to FTD sy
Dense urban morphologies further amplify extreme climate events due to the urban heat island phenomenon, rendering cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Here we develop a modelling framework using multi-scale climate and energy system models to assess the compound impact of future climate variations and urban densification on renewable energy integration for 18 European cities. We obse
