Respiratory Viruses in the Air of Shared Indoor Environments: Multi-Country Molecular Surveillance Across Europe (TwinAIR)

Indoor environments are the dominant setting for human exposure to respiratory viruses, yet routine molecular surveillance of indoor air remains rare outside single-site studies. Within the Horizon Europe TwinAIR project, a single harmonised workflow was applied to 102 indoor air...

Public transport for people with hearing impairment: A scoping review

Introduction Mobility is an important aspect of daily life, yet people with disabilities often encounter barriers when using public transport. In this paper, we reviewed the literature on accessibility in public transport for passengers with hearing impairment and identified seve...

A critical comparative policy analysis: Older worker retention in Canada and Sweden

Abstract Population ageing across OECD countries has cultivated an interest in policies to extend working life. However, the ability to extend working life is unequal between job sectors, with older workers engaged in physically demanding work already experiencing challenges to w...

Unifying Nanosecond Electrical and Optical Excitations in Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes

ABSTRACT Metal halide perovskites offer a promising pathway toward solution‐processable monolithic lasers. In the pursuit of direct electrical pumping, optical excitation is widely employed as the primary route for investigating the gain potential at the device level. However, th...

Are Socioeconomic Status and Time in Preschool Mediators of Shared Environment Variance in Reading Ability?

While socioeconomic status (SES), time in preschool (TiP) and their interaction are related to reading ability, the results have been mixed. This study assessed whether the shared environment mediated these associations using a longitudinal behavior genetic design. Further, this...

Sequence‐Controlled Copolymers Through Selective Ring‐Opening Polymerization of Multiunit Macrolactones

ABSTRACT A new strategy for the synthesis of sequence‐controlled polymers (SCP), in which increased ester reactivity by the introduction of neighboring glycolate units within a multiunit macrolactone, was developed. DFT calculations and model reactions show that the proximity of...

Meeting lifestyle recommendations among cancer survivors – a cross-sectional descriptive analysis from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary BioImage study (SCAPIS)

PURPOSE: This study aimed to describe lifestyle patterns in relation to recommendations -including physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and sleep quality-among Swedish cancer survivors, stratified by sex and age. METHOD: A descriptive cross-sectional study was p...

Self-Congruence in Ridesharing: Service-Embedded Products and the Moderating Role of Materialism

This cross-country research examines how congruence with service-embedded products influences consumers’ ridesharing intentions in the U.S. and India. Conceptualizing vehicles as tangible service elements, we position self-congruence as an antecedent condition for service access...

Sample charging in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Sample charging remains one of the most serious obstacles in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of poorly conducting materials. It shifts spectral peaks, distorts line shapes, compromises energy referencing, and, thus, makes the entire data acquisition and analysis process challeng...

Lymph node contraction links sex-biased naive CD8+ T cell decline to compromised antigen recognition during middle age

Abstract The abundance of diverse naive CD8 + T cell clones is essential for broad protection against infection and cancer, but how sex and aging jointly shape this compartment remains poorly understood. Here, using mouse models with supporting human data, we uncover a sex-biased...

Entry Guidance Authority over Thermal Protection System Bondline Temperature

Thermal protection systems are sized against the temperature of the structure beneath them, yet entry guidance enforces heating rate, heat load and load factor and leaves structural temperature to offline margins. This paper asks how much guidance can do about the bondline temper...

Employment status and occupation are associated with liver cirrhosis: A nationwide Swedish case–control study

Abstract Background Liver cirrhosis is often diagnosed in working‐age adults and carries a poor prognosis. A better understanding of variation by employment status and occupation may support earlier and more targeted diagnostic evaluation. Objectives To assess the odds of liver c...

Low Parental Income During Childhood Is Associated With Coronary Atherosclerosis in Midlife

Background Socioeconomic status (SES) is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, but the life‐course mechanisms and causal pathways remain poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated whether low childhood SES was associated with midlife coronary atherosclerosis and if a...

Long-term cortisol exposure and echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function

Background Chronic activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis due to long-term stress, reflected by elevated hair cortisol concentration (HCC), has been associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. However, whether prolonged cortisol exposure is linked to alt...

Advancing object-centric process mining with multi-dimensional data operations

Abstract Analyzing process data at varying levels of granularity is important to derive actionable insights and support informed decision-making. Object-Centric Event Data (OCED) enhance process mining by capturing interactions among events and multiple objects, leading to the di...

“So, I'm Maybe 10% Syrian”. Younger Pupils' Boundary Work in Swedish Superdiverse SAECs

ABSTRACT This article examines how younger pupils (Ages 7–9) engage in boundary work in two Swedish superdiverse school‐age educare centers (henceforth SAECs). The empirical material consists of individual and group interviews conducted in two superdiverse Swedish SAECs, located...

Dynamics of trust in collaborative complex system design

Purpose This paper examines how trust is constructed, eroded and rebuilt in collaborative complex system design in safety-critical settings. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses a qualitative process study of a 13-partner European project developing mid-air collision avoida...

Promoting psychological resilience during the perinatal period with a digital tool (the HealthyMoms4MentalHealth-app): a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial in Sweden

Abstract Background Pregnancy and childbirth are major life transitions that can significantly impact women’s mental health, with depression and anxiety being the most commonly reported. International and Swedish studies estimate that up to one in four women experience anxiety or...

Shame: to feel or not to feel – life history research from second chance education in Sweden

This article examines how shame, responsibility, and educational failure are narrated in one life history of return to education through the Swedish folk high school. Now eligible for higher education, the interviewee narrates his experiences through a pattern of defence, shiftin...

“More than medicine — but when?” A qualitative study of how general practitioners assess, negotiate, and apply social prescribing in clinical practice

Social prescribing (SP) addresses social determinants of health by linking patients in general practice to community-based, non-clinical services. Despite positive attitudes among general practitioners (GPs), uptake remains limited, and little is known about how SP is interpreted...
