Background: Indoor lighting, exposure to outdoor daylight, physical activity and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood and cicadian rhythm. Older adults (≥ 65 years), who often spend more time at home, are less physically active and experience more sleep problems, could benefit from strategies to support behavioural change and self-managed modifications in the home. The study’s primary objBackgroundIndoor lighting, exposure to outdoor daylight, physical activity and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood and cicadian rhythm. Older adults (≥ 65 years), who often spend more time at home, are less physically active and experience more sleep problems, could benefit from strategies to support behavioural change and self-managed modifications in the home.

A new growth approach, based on the hot-wall metalorganic chemical vapor deposition concept, is developed for high-quality homoepitaxial growth of Si-doped single-crystalline β -Ga 2 O 3 layers on (010)-oriented native substrates. Substrate annealing in argon atmosphere for 1 min at temperatures below 600 ° C is proposed for the formation of epi-ready surfaces as a cost-effective alternative to th

Evacuation through inward opening doors can present challenges for safe egress during fire incidents. This study comprehensively investigates the dynamics and challenges associated with this type of evacuation, aiming to provide valuable insights for fire safety design. A literature review and experimental evacuation experiments were conducted. The experiments compare occupant movement towards and

This study uses heterogeneous panel Granger causality tests to investigate the causal relationships between quality of governance and economic growth at the provincial level in China during the reform era. I find a significant and positive effect of economic growth on subsequent quality of governance, largely driven by growth in the secondary sector, but no significant effect of quality of governa

Lipoproteins, key mediators of lipid transport, facilitate the bidirectional transfer of lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol between soluble particles and cell membranes. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) primarily engage in reverse cholesterol transport, while low-density lipoproteins (LDL) predominantly deposit lipids, affecting cardiovascular health with a well-known role i

BackgroundHematoma location may influence hematoma volume and risk of expansion, the strongest prognostic predictors in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aims to determine differences in imaging and clinical factors affecting survival in patients with lobar vs. deep ICH.MethodPatients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH residing in Skåne county registered in the Swedish Stro

Ethiopia achieved a remarkable episode of agricultural intensification from the mid-1990s to the late-2010s, yet the political mechanisms that enabled this transformation—and the distributional and environmental consequences that followed—remain insufficiently understood. This article ex- amines how political leadership, understood in institutional rather than personalistic terms, shaped both the

In July 2017, the Egyptian police and military forces implemented a government decision that intended to force the residents of al-Warraq island out of their homes. The eviction decision involved 720 homes, but the security forces were only able to demolish five homes before clashes broke out and the security forces withdrew from the island. The disputes between the police forces and island inhabi

Internet of Things är ett fenomen som gör det möjligt för en användare att integrera internet i sitt vardagsliv. När vardagsföremål kopplas upp till internet, genereras mängder av data som kan analyseras för att kunna användas i olika syften. Denna uppsats kommer att förklara Internet of Things samt de teknologier som har möjliggjort utvecklingen. Målet med uppsatsen var att undersöka om allmänhet

In order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. A widely used method is Segmented Gamma Scanning, in which the waste package is rotated in front of a detector and then raised to the next vertical seg

Map design research has strongly come into the agenda with the extensive use of GIS and maps in geoportals. Geoportals are used to find, access and display geographic data via the Internet. Novel opportunities and techniques for displaying geographic data in viewing services also introduce new challenges and issues in cartographic design. Specifically, thematic polygon layers (foreground) will obs
