Prevalence, severity and impacts of breathlessness in Indian adults : An exploratory, nationally representative, cross-sectional online survey

There are no known estimates of the prevalence, severity and impacts from breathlessness in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore the prevalence, severity, self-attributed underlying conditions and impacts of breathlessness limiting exertion in community-dwelling adults in India. This exploratory, population-based online survey recruited a pre-planned sample of 3,000 adult

Fast Fusion of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 Time Series over Rangelands

Monitoring ecosystems at regional or continental scales is paramount for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and sustainable land management. Effective monitoring requires satellite imagery with both high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution. However, there is currently no single, freely available data source that fulfills these needs. A seamless fusion of data from th

Magnetic domain engineering in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs and Mn 2 Au

Antiferromagnetic materials hold potential for use in spintronic devices with fast operation frequencies and field robustness. Despite the rapid progress in proof-of-principle functionality in recent years, there has been a notable lack of understanding of antiferromagnetic domain formation and manipulation, which translates to either incomplete or nonscalable control of the magnetic order. Here,

Pathophysiology of syncope : current concepts and their development

Syncope is a symptom in which transient loss of consciousness occurs as a consequence of a self-limited, spontaneously terminating period of cerebral hypoperfusion. Many circulatory disturbances (e.g. brady- or tachyarrhythmias, reflex cardioinhibition-vasodepression-hypotension) may trigger a syncope or near-syncope episode, and identifying the cause(s) is often challenging. Some syncope may invo

A Geomagnetic Estimate of Heliospheric Modulation Potential over the Last 175 Years

Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) interact with the Earth’s atmosphere to produce energetic neutrons and cosmogenic radionuclides, such as 14C. The atmosphere is partially shielded from the interstellar GCR spectrum by both the geomagnetic and solar magnetic fields. Solar shielding is often expressed as the heliospheric modulation potential ϕ, which consolidates information about the strength and struct

Redovisning: från bokföring till analys

Redovisning är en process som omfattar allt från företagets transaktioner och omständigheter, till den analys och användning av företagets redovisningsinformation som slutligen sker. Redovisning ligger också till grund för en lång rad viktiga beslut. Vi vill med den här boken visa att redovisning är någonting helt fundamentalt i samhället och ett ämne som är både roligt, spännande och viktigt!Boke

Optimization of SLIPI–polarization ratio imaging for droplets sizing in dense sprays

In this article, structured laser illumination planar imaging and polarization ratio techniques are successfully combined to size droplets in various optically dense sprays. The polarization ratio approach is based on the acquisition of the perpendicular and parallel polarized components of Lorenz–Mie scattered light, for which the ratio is proportional to the surface mean diameter, D21. One of th

Sleep disturbances and change in multiple cognitive domains among older adults: a multicenter study of five Nordic cohorts

Study objectives: We examined and compared cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between self-reported sleep disturbances and various cognitive domains in five separate Nordic European longitudinal aging studies (baseline N = 5631, mean age = 77.7, mean follow-up = 4.16 years).Methods: Comparable sleep parameters across studies included reduced sleep duration/quality, insomnia symptoms (sl

Foreign-born 5-year-old children with cleft palate had poorer speech outcomes than their native-born peers

AimSpeech difficulties are common in children with cleft palate, but research on foreign-born children is limited. This study aimed to compare speech outcomes, surgery and speech intervention in 5-year-old foreign-born and Swedish-born children with cleft palate with or without cleft lip.MethodsThis retrospective study analysed data from the Swedish cleft lip and palate registry for children born

Secular trends in prevalent mild cognitive impairment: Data from the Swedish population-based study Good Aging in Skåne

Background: Research suggests that incident dementia is decreasing, yet researchon secular trends of prodromal dementia such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) islacking.Methods: To determine change ofMCI prevalence over time and potential explanatoryfactors, four baseline samples (years 2001–2020) of Swedish participants (n = 3910)aged 60 and 81 at examination were compared.Results: An overall dr

Using Artificial Intelligence for Assessment of Velopharyngeal Competence in Children Born With Cleft Palate With or Without Cleft Lip

ObjectiveDevelopment of an AI tool to assess velopharyngeal competence (VPC) in children with cleft palate, with/without cleft lip.DesignInnovation of an AI tool using retrospective audio recordings and assessments of VPC.SettingTwo datasets were used. The first, named the SR dataset, included data from follow-up visits to Skåne University Hospital, Sweden. The second, named the SC + IC dataset, w

Hiding the Machine: Stories, Rights and the Naturalisation of Corporate Technology

This paper tells two stories about corporations. The first story can be called ‘the nexus of contracts’ story, the second, ‘the entrepreneur’ story. Each of these stories was developed and refined by different groups of scholars over specific periods of time and responded to growing concerns about the size and power of corporations, concerns which motivated calls for greater regulation. These stor

Classification Criteria for ANCA Associated Vasculitis – Ready for Prime Time?

Purpose of ReviewThis review aims to summarize the evolution and recent developments in the classification of ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV) and to summarize evaluations of the 2022 ACR/EULAR classification criteria of AAV in several cohorts.Recent FindingsThe classification of AAV has been a field of controversy for some time. The parallel existence of classification criteria and disease defini

Limits to Plastic Growth : Towards a global cap on primary plastics production

Limiting the global production of primary plastics is necessary to curb greenhouse gas emissions as well as the environmental and health impacts ofplastic pollution.A cap on primary plastic production is possible and has precedent in environmental and climate change law. One approach for implementing such a cap is through a cap-and-trade system, which involves the distribution of production allowa

A Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Transistor as An Ultra-Scaled Cell for Low-Power In-Memory Data Processing

Compact in-memory computing architectures are desirable to embed artificial intelligence (AI) in resource-restricted edge devices. However, current technologies face limitations in both the area and energy efficiency. Here, a reconfigurable ferroelectric tunnel field-effect transistor (ferro-TFET) is presented that can be used as an ultra-scaled cell for low-power in-memory data processing. A gate

The Leaky Home : Conceptualising the Remote Control of Smart Technologies in the Domestic Sphere

Today many homes are accessible from afar, with mobile phones functioning as remote controls for technologies within the home. In this article we propose the ‘leaky home’ as a conceptual figure to understand how automated homes that leak through connected devices and sensors that collect, transmit, receive and share data are experienced and sensed by bodies within these distributed spaces. The lea

Reaching the unreachable through action research? Thomas Mathiesen and the Nordic socio-legal tradition

Thomas Mathiesen has been a source of inspiration for research in critical sociology, criminology, and the sociology of law for many decades. Mathiesen’s impact extends far beyond the academic realm, as his action research lives on. This intervention discusses the ongoing influence of Mathiesen’s action research approach, which integrates research, education, and societal impact. This is illustrat

Understanding Collaboration Beyond Contracting: The Relationship between Inter-Organizational Collaboration and Hard/Soft Control

Purpose – This paper aims to extend insights about the relationship between inter-organizational collaboration and approaches to control from the perspective of decision-makers. We investigate the relationship between approaches to control and intended forms of integration between actors responsible for solving the complex problem of integrated person-centered care for elderly with diverse and sig
