Recent years has seen a number of music researchers taking interest in the concept of affordances. Although interpretation of the concept varies, a common denominator is that affordances are opportunities for actions emerging between a subject and the environment. As such, it is an analytical perspective that highlights material and embodied dynamics of musical practice, dimensions central to musi
Focusing on three initiatives of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat – the Momentum for Change Initiative, the Lima–Paris Action Agenda, and the Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action – this chapter studies how an international environmental bureaucracy can evolve from a low-key and servant-like secretariat to an actor in its own right. It argues that in
Perceived fairness is a central determinant of acceptance or resistance toclimate policies. Resistance to climate policies is shaped by structural factors,including socio-economic conditions and cultural identities. But policy designaspects that are sensitive to perceptions of fairness can increase the public’sacceptance of the measures proposed. Overcoming resistance requires anunderstanding of t
Background: To date, studies investigating the association between pre-biologic biomarker levels and post-biologic outcomes have been limited to single biomarkers and assessment of biologic efficacy from structured clinical trials. Aim: To elucidate the associations of pre-biologic individual biomarker levels or their combinations with pre-to-post biologic changes in asthma outcomes in real-life.
We study supercooled first-order phase transitions above the QCD scale in a wide class of conformal Majoron-like U(1)′ models that explain the totality of active neutrino oscillation data and produce a detectable stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) at LIGO, LISA and ET. We place constraints on the U(1)′ breaking scale and gauge coupling using current LIGO-Virgo-Kagra data. We find that
Background: Long-term follow-up (LTFU) care, although endorsed, is not available for the majority of adult survivors of childhood, adolescence and young adult (CAYA) cancer. Barriers to implementation include lack of time, knowledge, personnel and funding. Sustainable solutions are urgently needed to address the needs of CAYA cancer survivors to improve the quality of life and reduce the burden of
The 400-km long coast of the Bight of Benin, formed by sand barriers and lagoons, is bordered to the east by the Niger River Delta and to the west by the Volta River Delta and is characterized by several coastal infrastructures, of which the most important are the deep water harbors of Lomé, Cotonou, and Lagos. In this study, an enhanced version of the CASCADE coastal evolution model was implement
INTRODUCTION: Antineoplastic drugs (ADs) are frequently used pharmaceuticals in the healthcare, and healthcare workers can be occupationally exposed to ADs. Monitoring of surface contamination is a common way to assess occupational exposure to ADs. The objective was to develop and validate a sensitive and quantitative monitoring method to determine surface contaminations of Pt as a marker for Pt-c
Background: Drug-related problems are common in older individuals. A medication reconciliation has the goal of identifying and maintaining an accurate medication list and can serve to prevent drug-related problems caused by discrepancies. Objectives: This study aimed to explore primary care physicians’ intentions towards performing medication reconciliation in patients with multimorbidity using a
I samband med den väldigt forcerade utbyggnaden av den gröna omställningen genom stora fabriker i norra Sverige ställs en rad frågor kring hanteringen av personal, säkerhet, likabehandling och ansvar. De arbetsrättsliga implikationerna är många. Den ursprungliga euforiska uppfattningen av etableringar som Northvolt i Skellefteå visade sig efterhand föra med sig betydande utmaningar. Texten, som är
Pediatric cancers exhibit complex evolutionary dynamics driven by genetic instability, clonal selection, epigenetic reprogramming, and microenvironmental interactions. Tumor evolution is typically characterized by branching phylogenies, where subclones with unique genetic profiles emerge at different locations and time points. Partly as a result of this diversity, advanced cancers often develop re
Grounded theory method (GTM) (Glaser and Strauss, 1967; Strauss and Corbin, 1990; Charmaz, 2006) is characterized by the continuous interplay between the collection and analysis of data in order to generate theory that is firmly grounded in empirical phenomena (Glaser and Strauss, 1967; Strauss and Corbin, 1998). The method is now an accepted research approach in the information systems (IS) disci
Vascular aging (VA) is a reflection of biological aging in general and subject to many influences during the life course. It involves all aspects of the cardiovascular system but is most visible in the age-related increased arterial stiffness of large elastic arteries, such as the aorta. It is possible to measure this process by pulse wave velocity (PWV). Several studies have now documented that i
There is limited theoretically informed research on sustainability in the space tourism market. An extended model of goal-directed behaviour (EMGB) is created and verified with individual and organizational interventions, comparing space tourism experienced and non-experienced travellers. Results revealed that individual intervention has fully significant effects on all MGB constructs, while organ

Ageism is a social problem that has harmful effects on the wellbeing of older people and needs to be tackled. It is pervasive and evident in the media (e.g., films, television, print and social media). Despite the fact that non-individual actors have adopted social media on a large scale in contemporary society, the social media representation of older people generated by those actors has remained
Objectives: To explore communication and engagement in everyday situations between persons with young-onset dementia (YOD) living in a nursing home (NH) and the caregivers. Methods: The study draws on ethnographic methods aligned with participatory design. Three residents with YOD living in a NH and eight staff members were recruited. A narrative approach was used for data collection and analysis.
Interventional cytology was first introduced in Sweden in the late 1940ies by Sixten Franzén at the Karolinska University Hospital in Solna, Stockholm. In the early 1950ies, Nils Söderström started using the technique at the University Hospital in Lund. Cytology was successively established as common practice at the pathology departments in Sweden, and e.g. Solna and Lund today have a high rate of
Twenty strains of anaerobic curved rods isolated from vaginal secretion were studied with light and transmission electron microscopy. Ten of the strains were of a short (approx. 1.5 microns) Gram-variable type, while ten were of a long (approx. 3 microns) Gram-negative type. The former had one to four flagella and the latter between one and eight. The flagella originated from the concave aspect of
