Sibling violence is an often overlooked form of domestic violence, despite research suggesting it is one of the most common types of violence experienced by children. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by family therapists within Swedish social services in identifying and addressing sibling violence, how these challenges affect their professional discretion, and what consequences sibl

A novel metaheuristic algorithm called the reptile search algorithm (RSA) was introduced in conjunction with artificial neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for the estimation of standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The model was tested in three different climates: arid and super-cold, semi-arid and cold, and semi-arid and moderate climate across Iran by combining meteorolo

This article presents a taxonomy of altered states of consciousness, primarily based on their central phenomenological features. Following taxonomic principles and a modified Delphi methodology, a multidisciplinary, international group identified eight distinct phenomenological/behavioral states (some with subcategories): proto and transitional, delirium, minimal to no awareness, experiential deta

BACKGROUND: Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Prospective real-world data are scarce.OBJECTIVES: To collect data on clinical outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and fatigue during treatment with tofacitinib.DESIGN: This is a prospective observational multicentre study in Sweden. In this analysis, outcomes at weeks 2, 8 and

Verksamhetsstatistikens mödor och nyttor har aktualiserats genom kyrkomötesmotionen 2021 om Diakonins kunskap.I denna artikel presenterar Stig Linde lärdomar från andra organisationer, bland annat den finska lutherska kyrkan.

ABSTRACT Child undernutrition remains a significant public health issue in Bangladesh, with high rates of stunting, wasting, and underweight. The Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF) offers a comprehensive tool for assessing overall undernutrition. Although previous studies in Bangladesh have utilized CIAF, they have relied on older datasets. Estimating the current status is essential

Des de principis del segle xxi, una nova fornada d’estudis sobre la història del cooperativisme s’ha interessat per la influència d’aquest moviment d’emancipació en la configuració dels barris populars. Des d’una perspectiva urbana i microhistò- rica, la recerca sobre cooperatives i cooperativistes ha nodrit l’anàlisi de les relacions entre cooperativisme, obrerisme i associacionisme popularDes de principis del segle xxi, una nova fornada d’estudis sobre la història del cooperativisme s’ha interessat per la influència d’aquest moviment d’emancipació en la configuració dels barris populars.

While research on the ramifications of automated decision-making (ADM) for welfare organisations is growing rapidly, less attention has been paid to elucidating the role and experiences of clients in the ADM process. This paper draws attention to how the performance of ADM policy in social assistance organisations working from an activation perspective is not merely a passive way of processing cli

This report examines the evolving political discourse in Ireland in the lead-up to the 2024 local, general and European elections, focusing on the potential rise of far-right populism. Traditionally dominated by centrist parties, and with an increasingly progressive trajectory of referendums, Ireland has long been viewed as an exception to the European trend of far-right mobilisation. However, rec

This thesis explores the long-term viability of integrating Boat-to-Grid (B2G) systems into electric marine vessels, considering technical reliability, environmental impact, and economic feasibility. Through degradation modeling, simulation-based analysis, lifecycle assessment, and financial modeling within the context of Göteborg, Sweden, this work offers a framework to understand how electric bo

This thesis investigates the financial viability of green hydrogen production for mobility applications across four European countries: Germany, Norway, Denmark and Spain. Given the rising importance of hydrogen in hard-to-electrify sectors such as (heavy-duty) transport, the study focuses on understanding how system design and local energy conditions influence the Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH

In this work, we present the design, fabrication, and characterization of InAs-based nanowire heterostructures with epitaxially defined InP and GaAs potential barrier segments, aimed at understanding and demonstrating the functionality of a double-barrier nanowire heterostructure as a hot-carrier photovoltaic, in which InP and GaAs barriers encapsulate an InAs absorber region, where hot carriers a

This thesis examines how different fleet ownership models, most notably wet-leasing, have an effect on European airlines' safety performance. Aircraft leasing has expanded significantly across the modern aviation sector, offering operational flexibility at the same time as adding complexity to the management of safety issues. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative analysi

The study of the isomeric states of No-254 and No-255 was performed with the SuperHeavy element RECoil detector (SHREC) at the focal plane of the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator (BGS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Berkeley, USA. The Pb-208(Ca-48,xn)No-(256-x) fusion-evaporation reaction was utilised to produce both nobelium isotopes with beam energies of 230 MeV and 225 MeV, respe
