ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to explore elite Para athletes' and coaches' perceptions of experiences of athlete health monitoring.Materials and MethodsThis study used a qualitative design, applying a phenomenographical approach. Thirteen athletes and six coaches from two different socioeconomic contexts (the Swedish and South African Paralympic programs) participated. Data were collected th
Heart transplantation is a difficult procedure compared with other surgical operations, with a greater outcome uncertainty such as late rejection and death. We can model the success of heart transplants from predicting factors such as the age, sex, diagnosis, etc., of the donor and recipient. Although predictions can mitigate the uncertainty on the transplantation outcome, their accuracy is far fr

Despite increased female educational attainment and labor market participation, labor markets around the world remain characterized by vertical and horizontal gender segregation. This chapter reviews recent findings from the experimental economics literature that shed light on some of the causes of gender differences in labor market outcomes. First, it reviews the recent literature using incentivi
DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) interrogate the interactions of a target of interest with vast numbers of molecules. DECLs hence provide abundant information about the chemical ligand space for therapeutic targets, and there is considerable interest in methods for exploiting DECL screening data to predict novel ligands. Here we introduce one such approach and demonstrate its feasibilit
The central thesis of this article is that the evolution of teaching is one of the main factors that lead to increasingly complex communicative systems in the hominin species. Following earlier analyses of the evolution of teaching, the following steps are identified: (i) evaluative feedback, (ii) drawing attention, (iii) demonstration and pantomime, (iv) communicating concepts, (v) explaining rel
The bystander effect is the phenomenon that people are less likely to help others when they are in a group than when they are alone. The theoretical literature typically explains the bystander effect with the volunteer’s dilemma: if providing help is equivalent to creating a public good, then bystanders could be less likely to help in groups because they free ride on the other bystanders. This pap
The replacement of plastic microbeads with biodegradable alternatives is essential due to the environmental persistence of plastics and their accumulation within the human food chain. Hypothesis: Cellulose microbeads could be such alternative, but their production is hindered by the high viscosity of cellulose solutions. It is expected that this viscosity can be harnessed to induce filament thinni
Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical heterogeneity of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in a national Swedish sample of affected individuals using latent class analysis. Method: Using a Swedish population-based sample of AUD cases ascertained from medical, criminal, and pharmacy registries (n = 217,071), we applied latent class analysis to sex, externalizing and internalizing
Recent years have witnessed great interest in mass-participation running events (Hindley, 2020), and organisations such as parkrun and fitness programmes like Couch to 5K, have been instrumental in enabling participation for inexperienced runners. Concomitant with this has been a number of fictional works which centre on the 5K run. I contend that exploring fictional texts can offer a fresh take o
The primary study aim was to explore which factors could predict recovery at baseline and follow- up, with occupational value, occupational balance, satisfaction with daily occupations, occupational engagement, and sociodemographic and clinical factors as predictors. A secondary aim was to investigate stability over time in personal recovery from baseline to a 9- month follow- up among people with
This paper critiques the implementation of the EU's Smart Specialization Strategies (S3), advocating for a deeper analysis of the long-term evolution of regional industrial portfolios. We investigate the changing coherence of these portfolios across 401 German NUTS-3 regions from 1993 to 2018, utilizing skill- and task-based metrics for relatedness and complexity, alongside sequence analysis and o
Hundreds of active learning assignments are reported in the political education literature. However, the adaptability of these assignments to new courses can be limited by different learning outcomes, course themes, or institutional contexts. To assist educators in developing assignments that align with their teaching needs, this study introduces the concept of element design. Element design refer
The non-coding genome, constituting 98% of human DNA, remains largely unexplored, yet holds potential for identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this study, we conducted a systematic analysis of recurrent somatic non-coding single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in pediatric B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL. We leveraged whole genome sequencing (WGS) data
This article presents a study of how meaning is created when participating in a fictional text universe, and thereby provides insight into literacy aspects of recreational use of fictional stories. The analysed material consists of transcriptions of pen-and-paper role-playing sessions. The results show that the role-players transform fragments of information from different languages, modalities an
We explore gender differences in preferences for competition and risk among children aged 9–12 in Colombia and Sweden, two countries differing in gender equality according to macro indices. We include four types of tasks that vary in gender stereotyping when looking at competitiveness: running, skipping rope, math and word search. We find that boys and girls are equally competitive in all tasks an
