The role of urban design in enhancing the microclimate and thermal comfort in warm-humid Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Due to the complexity of the outdoor environment, urban design patterns considerably affect the microclimateand outdoor thermal comfort in a given urban morphology. Parameters such as building height and orientation,spaces between buildings, plot coverage, etc influence the microclimate in terms of solar access, shade, windspeed and direction. In warm-humid Dar es Salaam, the consideration of micr

How industry collaboration influences research: The case of the Swedish interdisciplinary materials consortia, 1990–2000

This article provides new insights into the consequences of university–industry collaboration for the content and conduct of academic research by analysing the Swedish research funding programme for the so-called ‘materials consortia’, in place between 1990 and 2000.

Updated European Consensus Statement on diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD

Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most common psychiatric disorders of childhood that often persists into adulthood and old age. Yet ADHD is currently underdiagnosed and undertreated in many European countries, leading to chronicity of symptoms and impairment, due to lack of, or ineffective treatment, and higher costs of illness. Methods The European Network A

Podocalyxin-like and rna-binding motif protein 3 are prognostic biomarkers in urothelial bladder cancer : A validatory study

Background: Urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) is a disease that often is discovered when the tumour is non-muscle invasive, i.e. in Ta or T1 stage. Some patients will progress into muscle-invasive disease, a potentially deadly condition. Although there are some prognostic models, the need for prognostic and predictive biomarkers is considerate and urgent. Membranous expression of podocalyxin-like pr

Pop-up Mosques, Social Media Adhan, and the Making of Female and LGBTQ-Inclusive Imams

The last few decades have seen the appearance of a number of mosques that do not constitute buildings; they are mosques without bricks. This article therefore defines a new concept, the pop-up mosque, as an analytical term for the temporary conversion of an other-purposed space into a mosque, which is used for Islamic rituals such as Friday prayer and marriages. The pop-up mosque can produce relig

Under-five mortality and maternal HIV status in Tanzania: analysis of trends between 2003 and 2012 using AIDS Indicator Survey data

BackgroundMortality among children under five remains a significant health challenge across sub-Saharan Africa. HIV/AIDS is one of the leading contributors to the relatively slow decline in under-five mortality in this region. In Tanzania, HIV prevalence among under-five children is high and 90% of all infections are due to mother-to-child transmission.ObjectivesThe study aimed to examine the asso

Association Between Neighborhood Deprivation and Heart Failure Among Patients With Diabetes Mellitus : A 10-Year Follow-Up Study in Sweden

Background: Our aim was to study the potential effect of neighborhood deprivation on incident heart failure (HF) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: The study population included adults (n = 434,542) aged 30 years or older with DM followed from 2005 to 2015 in Sweden for incident HF. The association between neighborhood deprivation and the outcome was explored using Cox regression an
