Elnät är komplexa och vidsträckt system som förlitar sig på alla sina beståndsdelar för att bibehålla en god driftsäkerhet och stabilitet. Den ökade andelen vind- och solkraft utgör ytterligare ett dynamiskt element i de redan komplexa systemen. En analys och behandling av riskerna kan bidra till en säker övergång, där påverkan på hälsa, miljö och ekonomi är minimal. Studien är utformad utifrån etThe electric utility system is complex and dependent on all of its constituents for attaining a reliable distribution. The increase of solar and wind power adds a new dynamic element to this system. Risk management methodology can help in facilitating a safe and sustainable transition, achieving minimal negative impact on society, environment and economy. The working process of the Thesis is const

Protected areas (PAs) embody a historical legacy of value contestation and human exclusion. While the rise of community-based conservation in the 1980s sought to reconfigure this mechanism by running a counter narrative arguing that biodiversity conservation and development were mutually reinforcing objectives, exclusionary PAs continue to maintain a strong position in the conservation discourse.

This paper investigates online gender-based violence (OGBV) in China using the perspectives of queer feminism and cyberfeminism. As a case study, it examines the cyberviolence against the “Pink Hair Girl” on Xiaohongshu (a popular Chinese social media platform) and the subsequent resistance by women. The study focuses on the following questions: How does the symbolic use of pink hair represent que

This manuscript investigates the relationships among various performance metrics in a virtual reality (VR), namely frames per second (FPS), latency, batches, and the number of triangles (tris) and vertices (verts). The study aims to uncover correlations and directional associations between these metrics, shedding light on their impact on VR performance. The findings reveal a significant correlatio

PURPOSE: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the impact of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on β-cell function and glucose tolerance in persons with multiple islet autoantibodies.METHODS: Individuals (n = 59; median age 11 years) with multiple islet autoantibodies were recruited to a randomized clinical trial between April 2016 and April 2021. The participants were randomized to a GFD (n

BACKGROUND: Falls are common among older persons and can have a major impact on their lives. Wearable sensors used in free-living conditions (moving naturally in one's daily living environment) can be used to predict falls and fall risks. To understand if using the wearable sensors is an acceptable way for older persons to be screened for fall risks, it is important to have knowledge of older pers

BACKGROUND: Food choice decisions are complex processes influenced by various factors that affect the family's diet and, thus, their health and nutrition. In low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia, these factors are shaped by the ongoing nutrition transition, urbanization, and socio-economic challenges. Despite growing concerns about the double burden of malnutrition, the factors influenci

TOI-1266 is a benchmark system of two temperate (<450 K) sub-Neptune-sized planets orbiting a nearby M dwarf exhibiting a rare inverted architecture with a larger interior planet. In this study, we characterize transit timing variations (TTVs) in the TOI-1266 system using high-precision ground-based follow-up and new TESS data. We confirm the presence of a third exterior nontransiting planet, TOI-

Background/Objectives: Antibiotic resistance presents an urgent public health threat. By developing a streamlined and effective method for studying bacteriophage induction, this research marks a step further in understanding how antibiotic-resistant genes might spread across different environments. This knowledge is essential for creating strategies to reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistan

Aedes albopictus, a key vector for Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and Yellow Fever, is expanding its range beyond its tropical and subtropical origins, driven by suitable climate, population mobility, trade, and urbanization. Since its introduction to Europe, Ae. albopictus has rapidly spread and triggered recurrent outbreaks. Past model attempts have handled vector suitability and vector introduction

A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) is an established treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) is a newer, promising diet. Nutrients influence the production of gut hormones, which affect gastrointestinal motility. This study aimed to investigate the changes in copeptin, leptin, PAI-1, C-peptide, and insul

A novel supramolecular dyad, composed of the electron-accepting N,N’-di(2-(trimethylammoniumiodide) ethylene) perylenediimide (TAIPDI) and the electron donating electron-donating poly[2,5-bis(3-sulfonatopropoxy)-1,4-phenylenealt-1,4-phenylene] sodium salt (PPPOPSO3), was constructed through ionic and electrostatic interactions. Photophysical studies, including steady-state absorption and fluoresce

Since 2010,there has been enormous social and political hype around artificial intelligence (‘AI’) and how it has, and will, continue to impact society. This is not just puffery, and there is growing recognition across a range of fields that there is an urgent need to further explore the use, scope and impact of AI in relation to digital forms of citizenship and the datafication of societies. Conc

Background A better characterization of diabetic retinopathy (DR) may be helpful to monitor early disease, predict progression of DR, and to evaluate new treatment strategies. Visual function has been suggested to complement the assessment of microvascular lesions in DR but needs to be evaluated in longitudinal studies. Objectives This prospective longitudinal cohort study investigated whether ear

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud have revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary properties of massive stars at low metallicity, and therefore in conditions approaching those of the Early Universe, remain sparse. We present the Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) campaign, an ESO large programme

Purpose: To introduce a newly developed digital platform and compare its reliability and agreement with paper-based questionnaires for assessing quality of vision before and after cataract surgery. Setting: University-affiliated ophthalmology department and private clinic. Design: Prospective, randomized trial with parallel design of 1:1 allocation ratio without masking. Methods: Between 11/2021 a

Human-bacterial interactions play a crucial role in several essential aspects of life. Here, we describe how a secreted protein from the skin commensal Cutibacterium acnes, RoxP, functions as a sacrificial redox effector molecule that facilitates beneficial interactions with its human host by counteracting oxidative stress and reducing stress-induced inflammation. Using a combination of structural

PurposeDespite advances in medical care, bacterial meningitis still poses a considerable health issue from a global perspective. An ageing population and increasing development and use of vaccines are likely to affect the incidence and aetiology. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence and aetiology of community-acquired bacterial meningitis (CABM) in our setting, as well as the seroty

Aims: Privileged access interviewing (PAI) has traditionally been used to reach illicit drug users and other ‘hidden’ populations. How PAI data compare to other self-reported data have seldom been discussed. We compare data from patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST), gathered through PAI and researcher interviews, respectively, to investigate whether PAIs and researchers are reaching com
