Generation Z (Gen Z) is believed to be more socially and environmentally committed. While environmentally responsible behaviour is crucial to the success of sustainable tourism, little is known about Gen Z's specific environmental behaviours in tourism settings. In this research, the roles of Gen Z's consumption emotions and environmentally friendly behaviour were explored based on cognitive appra
ALADDIN is a proposed fixed-target experiment at the LHC for the direct measurement of charm baryon dipole moments. The detector features a spectrometer and a Cherenkov detector, while the experimental technique is based on the phenomena of particle channelling and spin precession in bent crystals. TWOCRYST, a proof-of-principle test at the LHC for the proposed experiment, is planned during the LH
UNLABELLED: Maintaining high-affinity antibodies after vaccination may be important for long-lasting immunity to malaria, but data on induction and kinetics of affinity is lacking. In a phase 1 malaria vaccine trial, antibody affinity increased following a second vaccination but declined substantially over 12 months, suggesting poor maintenance of high-affinity antibodies.CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRAT
BACKGROUND: Problems in social functioning (e.g., unemployment, social isolation), are common in people with a psychotic disorder. Social cognition is a treatment target to improve social functioning, as it is a proximal predictor of social functioning. Social Cognition Training (SCT) improves social cognition, but may not generalize (enduringly) to social functioning, perhaps due to insufficient
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
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits. Extensive diagnostic testing is often performed to identify acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but only about 10% of patients ultimately receive an ACS diagnosis. These diagnostic processes are costly, time-consuming, and sometimes invasive, carrying inherent risks. Additionally, most patients with suspected ACS are adm
This article conducts a multi-scalar analysis of the dynamics between secularism and religion in contemporary Sweden and highlights a growing divide between them, in the wake of neoliberal reconfigurations of the welfare state and a stronger religious pluralism in public space. Through an analysis of the public debate around conversion attempts and state funding for religious organizations, we exp
The role of anti-epithelial growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies (anti-EGFR MoAbs) in treatment-related electrolyte disorders is still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the incidences and overall risks of all-grade and grade 3/4 electrolyte disorder events. We searched relevant clinical trials from PubMed, EM
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is a precursor of pancreatic cancer. While earlier research has shown a high prevalence of synchronous/metachronous extrapancreatic tumors in IPMN patients, these studies have often been small with retrospective data collection. The aim of the study was to examine absolute and relative risks of non-pancreatic gastr
Heart failure is a common condition with a high burden of morbidity and mortality globally. Despite modern advancements in diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic strategies, challenges remain in providing optimal treatment for the individual patient. Heart-failure phenotyping requires imaging modalities for assessment of structures and function. This thesis is based on four studies which apply nove
IMPORTANCE: Life expectancy is a composite health measure reflecting acute and life-course exposures. Identifying conditions behind disparities in life expectancy can guide policy, planning, and financing to battle the most urgent health problems.OBJECTIVE: To examine the contribution of 33 causes of death to life expectancy disparities, highlighting 2 sets of priority conditions-8 infectious and
OBJECTIVES: To compare sociodemographic, clinical, and suicide-specific characteristics between younger old (aged 65-74) and older old (aged 75+) adults who died by suicide in 2015, and to identify clinically relevant subgroups in the entire study cohort 65+ through cluster analysis.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: All health care units across Sweden.PARTICIPANTS: Individuals aged 65+ w
Radiolabeled targeting agents have emerged as valuable tools for the treatment of disseminated cancer. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely employed as carriers for diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides due to their exceptional specificity and affinity. However, their prolonged circulatory half-life can diminish diagnostic efficacy and increase radiation exposure to non-target tissues in the
The Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) is an international initiative. It aims to create a protein list expressed in human cells by each chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA to enhance our understanding of disease mechanisms, akin to the gene list generated by the Human Genome Project. Transmembrane protein 160 (TMEM160) is a member of the transmembrane proteins (TMEM) family. TMEM pro
The relationship between degree of coronary artery stenosis and its effect on myocardial perfusion is complex and constitutes a clinical challenge. The aim of this study was to assess diagnostic accuracy of visual assessment of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for detecting reduced myocardial perfusion determined by quantitative first-pass perfusion (qFPP) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in pa
How can we study the late ancient and Byzantine history from ecological perspectives? How might one grapple with the more-than-human in sources and media created by humans? Exploring the diverse ways in which pre-modern texts engaged with the broader natural world, this book presents scholarly ventures into the terrains of the past. From the ancient treatises on dreams to monastic tales from the H
An important area of application of robotics technologies is unmanned water surface and underwater vehicles, such as in remote exploration work, maritime transportation, repairs of oil rigs and so on. This study evaluates the consequences of these technologies, particularly in a liability context. Taking into account the characteristics of vehicles mentioned above, especially autonomy, it is expec
Reliable assessment of self-reported immune function is essential for identifying at-risk populations, monitoring public health interventions and informing global health strategies. Yet, current instruments are imprecise and lack cross-cultural validity. This study aimed to assess the cross-cultural validity of the 7-item Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ). The Partial Credit Rasch model was applie
