Global health is a multidisciplinary field focused on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic left a profound and lasting impact on global mental health, triggering a surge in anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders across all age groups and regions. As the world transitions into the post-COVID period, mental health has emerged as a
Breakthroughs in battery research are imperative to provide society with batteries that are safe and sustainable, have a high energy density, and have a long cycle life at low cost. Recent advances in research methodologies, the emergence of new market opportunities, and strategic funding schemes have allowed not only large, but also small companies, universities, and public research organizations
Objectives (1) To assess the risk of haematological malignancies in individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared with individuals without SSc; (2) to explore how the risk varies across groups stratified by sex and age; and (3) to determine when these malignancies present in relation to SSc diagnosis in a population-based setting. Methods We performed a nationwide cohort study using high-qual
Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) in close orbits around early-type stars provide natural laboratories for studying atmospheric escape and star-planet interactions under extreme irradiation and wind conditions. The near-ultraviolet (NUV) regime is particularly sensitive to extended upper atmospheric and magnetospheric structures. Aims. We investigate whether star-planet interactions in the WASP-1
High-spin states have been observed in the odd-odd isotope 120Cs in 32S-induced reactions. The previously known band is extended to higher spin and several new bands are identified. Band-head configurations have been inferred by comparing the band properties with known bands in the odd nuclei 121Cs and 121Ba. A remarkable signature inversion is observed in the πh 11 2⊗νh 11 2.
The evidence for ground-state octupole deformation in a region of nuclei around 145Ba is considered, and signatures that might be observed in the deformed single-particle states of odd-mass isotopes are calculated. The measured ground-state spins and electromagnetic moments of 145Cs and 145Ba can be accounted for by single-particle orbitals at the reflection-asymmetric equilibrium shape.
Internalizing disorders (INTs), including anxiety (AD) and depressive disorders (DD), frequently emerge during adolescence. Studies suggest that certain core domains of executive functioning (EF), i.e. inhibition, shifting and working memory (WM) may show selectively lower performance in certain INTs. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the evidence of associations between INTs and EF in adol
This thesis deals with tourism to Fukushima. Specifically, it examines how traditional tourism and dark tourism shape the identity of Fukushima. In order to do so, the thesis has adapted Digital Methods, particularly by using web crawlers, and visual qualitative content analysis of pictures complemented with word clouds to reveal how Fukushima is conceptualised on different tourism websites. Three
Engine development for reduced fuel consumption and for the ability to use alternative types of fuels is required as emissions and the limited access of petroleum are issues coupled to diesel engines. Experimental testing is in many cases insufficient and expensive in comparison with simulations for engine development. This thesis is focused on extending a model of a diesel compression-ignition en
Målet med denna masteruppsats var att designa och implementera funktionalitet i Grades plattform som hjälper slutanvändarna att känna sig mer engagerade. En process baserad på litteraturgenomgång, konkurrentanalys och designiterationer resulterade i en lösning som integrerade två välkända gamificationkoncept; poängtavlor och utmärkelser. Litteraturgenomgången gav författarna en modell över hur gaThe goal of this master’s thesis was to design and implement gamification features into Grade’s platform in a way that will enable the end users to feel more engaged. A process based on literature research, competitor analysis and design iterations allowed for a solution that integrated two well-known gamification concepts; leaderboards and badges. The literature research provided the authors wit
Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the in-store customer experience from a millennial consumers’ perspective. Specifically, the authors of this thesis intend to carry-out a comprehensive study that addresses how these customer experiences are manifested within the different retail stores in Sweden. Methodology: The researchers considered the philosophies of epistemology and ontology
The city of Chennai evolved around the river, Cooum. The river supports irrigation to agricultural fields in the north and supplies water to the city of Chennai. It also acts as a major flood carrier for the city. Before the 1960s, the river was clean and used for activities such as bathing, boating and fishing. During the colonial rule, the city was initially planned to sustain a much lesser popu
In this Master’s thesis, data from a pediatric intensive care unit for children and youth at the Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, are used for predicting child mortality and investigating if the PIM2 model can be improved using neural networks and blood gas test results. In the analysis, 1155 patient admissions were included after removing patients without tests witin the first hour of a
Public participation is vital to ensure sustainable water management, and providing education is one of the way to trigger participation. For decades, developed countries try to educate their citizen to be environmentally literate, and for the water sector, water-related knowledge has been introduced to the public by schools, municipalities and water utilities. The condition is harder for developi
