BackgroundChildren and youth who experience divorce are found to have increased risk of emotional and behavioural adjustment problems. Different prevention programmes have been developed to help and support children. Previous studies have focused on the child or the group leader's experience with divorce groups, but studies describing parent's experience are missing. The aim of this study was to e

The food sector is increasingly facing significant challenges throughout the supply chain to become more resource efficient. In this context, three critical areas of focus are the reduction of food waste, energy, and water consumption. One of the key factors identified as an obstacle to improving resource efficiency is the lack of suitable capabilities to collect, exchange and share real-time data

SAR images are important data for observing the earth in all weather conditions. But the speckle noise contaminated the SAR images, obstructs their application. Speckle noise is primarily due to the phase fluctuations of the electromagnetic return signals. In this paper, we investigate the effect of speckles on the change detection result. Two cost functions are used in our change detection algori

Probabilistic solvers for ordinary differential equations assign a posterior measure to the solution of an initial value problem. The joint covariance of this distribution provides an estimate of the (global) approximation error. The contraction rate of this error estimate as a function of the solver's step size identifies it as a well-calibrated worst-case error, but its explicit numerical value

Lead-free Sn(II) based, CsSn2Br5, perovskite nanocubes were synthesized using a modified hot-injection method by tuning the injection temperature and reaction conditions. The formation of Sn(IV) based, Cs2SnBr6, perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) from CsSn2Br5 perovskite nanocubes was observed. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that oxygen or water molecules in air gradually react with CsSn2Br5

In this study I explore discourses of contraception and reproduction, which are drawn upon and reproduced in Swedish official online sources on contraceptive advice, through the theoretical frameworks of biomedicalization and reproductive justice. The analysis yielded three interwoven themes: 1) women in need of contraceptives have to balance discourses of exogenous hormones as both an “unnatural”

Despite the increasing popularity of studies on teachers’ national curriculum adaptations, there is no comparative study elucidating teachers’ adaptations in centralized and decentralized educational contexts through sense-making theory lenses. This paper presents a comparative case study of Turkish and Swedish senior classroom teachers’ curricular adaptations concerning sense-making theory. We ge

The primary treatment of gynecological malignancies has considerably evolved over the last century, with a move to less aggressive procedures when appropriate. However, gynecological malignancies comprise a heterogeneous group, with varying treatment options. The choice of reconstructive method for urinary and fecal diversion is crucial, as most patients have been irradiated with high doses or had

BACKGROUND: Different mechanical ventilation settings are known to affect lung preservation for lung transplantation. Measurement of particle flow in exhaled air may allow online assessment of the impact of ventilation before changes in the tissue can be observed. We hypothesized that by analyzing the particle flow, we could understand the impact of different ventilation parameters.METHODS: Partic

The tumor microenvironment consists of several interacting cell types. Cancer research focssed mainly on the malignant cell in the past. The importance of the tumor microenvironment is increasingly appreciated, as endothelial cells and immune cells were identified as targets for anti-tumor therapy. Targeted therapy against cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are not in clinical use for the treatm

In this study, 14 standard facial distances on 10 adult volunteers were measured directly with a caliper and indirectly on two-dimensional images using the 3dMDtrio system. Two raters performed the measurements with at least 1 week between rating sessions. The intra- and inter-rater reliabilities and agreement of the measurements were calculated using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), mea

The large and sparsely hydrated thiocyanate anion, SCN–, plays a prominent role in the study of specific ion effects in biological, colloid, and atmospheric chemistry due to its extreme position in the Hofmeister series. Using atomistic modeling of aqueous SCN– solutions, we provide novel insight at the molecular scale into the experimentally observed differences in ion pairing, clustering, reorie

In the fast-evolving arena of climate finance, equitable access to and allocation of funds for adaptation continue to pose a significant and urgent challenge. In theory, to prepare for the impacts of climate change in an equitable way, regional, national, and European Union (EU) funding tenders on climate adaptation should prioritize the most climate-vulnerable local administrations. However, evid

The purpose of this study was to compare complication rates at the mandibulotomy site between patients receiving preoperative radiotherapy (RT) and those receiving postoperative RT during treatment for oral and oropharyngeal cancer where the surgical procedure required a mandibular osteotomy to gain access to the tumour. Sixty-four consecutive patients treated during the period 2000–2015 were avai

Background: Victimisation of women is encountered in all countries across the world, it damages the mental and physical health of women. During pregnancy and the postpartum period, women are at a greater risk of experiencing violence from an intimate partner. The aim of this study was to explore childbirth outcomes in a Swedish population of women reporting a history of violence including domestic

In this paper we study the convex envelopes of a new class of functions. Using this approach, we are able to unify two important classes of regularizers from unbiased non-convex formulations and weighted nuclear norm penalties. This opens up for possibilities of combining the best of both worlds, and to leverage each method’s contribution to cases where simply enforcing one of the regularizers are

Pyridinium triflate protic ionic liquids have been demonstrated to be highly dissociated, and nonstoichiometric compositions have been used in protic energy devices such as the all-organic proton battery. Herein, we use a combination of pulsed field gradient NMR spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to investigate the charge transport properties of the nonstoichiometric protic io
