Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly recognized as a key enabler in discovering scientific knowledge. Due to the current momentum, researchers from various fields try to incorporate AI to their research work. However, research to be truly identified as scientific research it requires to bring in new knowledge adhering to a scientific method. This study attempts to explore how AI affe
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the major absorber of sunlight in most natural waters and a critical component of the carbon cycle in aquatic systems. The photochemical decomposition of DOM can have a significant impact on the landscape-atmosphere carbon exchange. However, little is known about how changing characteristics of DOM due to water browning (allochthonous inputs of DOM from terrestria
Masculinities role in the mental illness among male students - a qualitative study from a school counsellor’s perspective The aim of the study was to understand how school counsellors speak about masculinity in relation to male student’s mental health. Seven qualitative interviews were held at seven different high schools with seven different counsellors. The interview questions were based on th
The process of firms entering and exiting the market has since Schumpeter’s introduction of the concept of creative destruction been a subject of interest for economists aiming to determine what drives economic growth. However, limited availability of data has long been a hindrance to such ambitions and it is not until recent decades that empirical studies on the role of firm dynamics for economic
Critical-sized bone defects remain a significant unmet clinical need, with > 500,000 reconstructive procedures performed annually in the United States and Europe and associated costs exceeding US$3 billion. Autologous bone grafting—the current gold standard—suffers from limited harvest volume and donor-site morbidity, whereas allografts show variable integration and carry immunological and infecti
BACKGROUND: Catheterization of the vein is frequently a painful procedure. Assessing venous cannulation induced pain (VCP) before surgery have been used to predict the intensity of postoperative pain and postoperative opioid consumption. The aim of this study was to investigate the intra-individual variation in venous cannulation induced pain at three consecutive time points and factors influencin
Title: Necessity knows no law : A qualitative study on the processing of emergency assistance in the social services. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers make decisions about financial aid in emergency situations when the user does not have food for the day. We wanted to find out what the social worker needs to know about the user to make a decision and which decision basis th
Tropical grasslands are ecosystems of immense value, both ecologically and socially. Despite this, they are commonly misclassified as degraded forests, partly due to the large role of fire, rather than climate, in limiting the establishment of woody vegetation in those ecosystems. Misclassification can cause misguided management practices to be implemented, which explains the need for improved cla
Abstracts The purpose of this paper is to examine if the Swedish discourse concerning FGM/C can be seen as a link in the shaping of ones own identity. To investigate if this is the case I have used critical discourse analysis influenced by Norman Faircloughs three-dimensional model. I’ve also used postcolonial feminism as a kind of lens through which I’ve looked at the discourse. The discourse in
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of application of the cluster based rural development approach in Armenia to promote its structural transformation. Case study was selected as a research methodology, and both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Analysis of the key findings from the ‘field’, i.e. - the potential cluster, shows that rural households pract

Elevated brain levels of apolipoprotein D (ApoD) correlate with improved neurological recovery after experimental stroke. Hence, a pharmacological induction of ApoD in the postischemic brain could be beneficial for recovery after stroke. Here we investigated the effect of Clozapine, a compound that increases the expression of ApoD, in two rat models of experimental stroke. Rats were subjected to p

The growing need for human-machine interfaces (HMIs) underscores the importance of sensory feedback, with electrical stimulation offering efficient interaction in various applications. While its sensory effects are extensively studied, investigations into the reaction time (RT) following transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate how stimulation parame
Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.

The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fi
Time-resolved photoluminescence is a validated method for tracking the photoexcited carrier dynamics in luminescent materials. This technique probes the photoluminescence decays upon a periodic excitation by short laser pulses. Herein, we show that this approach cannot directly detect hidden photoexcitations with much slower dynamics than the photoluminescence decay. We demonstrate a new method ba
IntroductionPrevious studies show that approximately 40% of hospital readmissions in older adults are medication-related and that about 70% of these could be prevented. A risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults at increased risk of medication-related readmission could help maximize the impact of implemented preventive measures and save healthcare resources. In this study we made furth
Model Hamiltonians are regularly derived from first principles to describe correlated matter. However, the standard methods for this contain a number of largely unexplored approximations. For a strongly correlated impurity model system, here we carefully compare a standard downfolding technique with the best possible ground-truth estimates for charge-neutral excited-state energies and wave functio
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor for intermittent claudication (IC) and other manifestations of atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease. Indications for surgery in infrainguinal IC are debated, and there are conflicting reports regarding its outcomes in patients with DM. Aims of this study were to compare both short- and long-term effects on total- and cardiovas
