OBJECTIVES: The 22 countries of the East Mediterranean Region (EMR) have large populations of adolescents aged 10-24 years. These adolescents are central to assuring the health, development, and peace of this region. We described their health needs.METHODS: Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we report the leading causes of mortality and morbidity for adolescents in

Non-crop vegetation in agricultural landscapes can provide a means of conserving insects in farmed landscapes and optimising on-farm ecosystem services as a result. Inclusion of floral resources may be particularly useful in conserving many beneficial insects, where groups including pollinators and pest natural enemies often rely on nectar and pollen during (at least part of) their life-cycle. As

Silicon is a promising candidate to substitute or complement graphite as anode material in Li-ion batteries due, mainly, to its high energy density. However, the lithiation/delithiation processes of silicon particles are inherently related to drastic volume changes which, within a battery's physically constrained case, can induce significant deformation of the fundamental components of the battery

Colour constancy is the capacity of visual systems to keep colour perceptionconstant despite changes in the illumination spectrum. Colour constancy hasbeen tested extensively in humans and has also been described in manyanimals. In humans, colour constancy is often studied quantitatively, butbesides humans, this has only been done for the goldfish and the honeybee.In this study, we quantified colo

This thesis, which is based on four original papers, covers different aspects of antibody development. The overall goal of my work has been to obtain an increased understanding of antibody repertoires as they develop in vivo and in vitro. In Paper I-III antibody repertoires was evaluated and used to dissect virus-induced antibody responses and characterize such antibodies. Furthermore, tools for m

This paper aspires to indicate how much broadband communication the Swedish copper access network can offer when developed to its full potential. We look at a number of different infrastructure deployment scenarios and calculate the Shannon capacity of the copper loops using different deployment-dependent loop-length distributions with different deployment-dependent and technology-dependent noise

Latest research confirmed that plant matter can also produce a non negligible amount of the greenhouse gas methane under aerobic conditions. These findings have led to discussions and controversy within the research community. While KEPPLER ET AL. (2006) as one of the first researchers published results supporting this hypothesis others like DUECK ET AL. (2007) refuted these results within their e

The rise of the FZL (feizhuliu) subculture was one of the most eye-catching cultural phenomena in the Chinese cyberspace between 2007 and 2008. It has been considered as vulgar, destructive and problematic by the masses. The purpose of this research was to offer a fresh perspective and insightful view into the FZL subculture. It also was aimed to contribute to the studies of the intersection of su

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is: to determine key success factors for an organisation’s internal process of internalising future trends forecasting. Methodology: A qualitative approach has been chosen by examining three different companies (Electrolux, H&M and, Sony Ericsson) through interviews and other data. The empirical material have been analysed by using valid theory as a platform

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a relatively rare B-cell lymphoma subtype, with a higher incidence among males and a median age of 70 years at diagnosis. MCL is characterized by clinically diverse behavior, from indolent disease to extremely aggressive, related to the presence of biological risk factors such as proliferation rate and TP53 mutations. Most often, patients present with disseminated dis

Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is central to promoting adolescents’ sexual health and rights. In Sweden, CSE is now referred to as Sexuality, Consent and Relationships (SCR) education, following a curriculum revision in 2022. This study explored how upper secondary school students (aged 16–19) experienced SCR education. A digital questionnaire was completed in the classroom by 1378 studen

Bricklaying is one of the most accident-prone professions in the construction industry, with heavy and non-ergonomic lifting being a leading cause of sick leave and back problems. Increased automation is expected to reduce the number of work-related accidents while simultaneously improving productivity. Existing solutions are often expensive and inflexible. This thesis investigates how a pick- and

This article focuses on the urbanizing impact of the post-millennial mineral boom at artisanal and small-scale (ASM) or large-scale (LSM) mining sites in three mineral-rich countries, involving gold in Ghana, diamonds in Angola, and both minerals in Tanzania. The focus is on comparing the agency of miners and other residents migrating to, settling in, and making the mining site habitable. Their mo

This review synthesises current evidence on the clinical utility of foam-based posturography in the assessment of vestibular pathologies. It critically evaluates: (1) the physiological mechanisms underlying foam posturography and its capacity to determine vestibular contributions; (2) methodological variability across testing protocols, including differences in foam properties, stance conditions a

This paper studies the performativity of smart mobility expectations in envisioning urban futures. Smart mobility, or ICT-enabled transport services, are increasingly considered a necessary ingredient for sustainability transitions in cities. Expectations of smart mobility’s contribution to such a transition are constituted by a strong belief in the transformative potential of data collection and

In the linear regression model, when the dimension p is fixed and n→∞, the asymptotic distribution of the estimation error for Lasso-type M-estimators is well established. In contrast, the convergence of the discrete structures (patterns) induced by these regularizers, such as sparsity or clustering, has remained largely unaddressed, even for the standard Lasso penalty. Because these lower-dimensi
