From Loops to Leaps: Accelerating Experiential Learning in Venture Creation Programs

This paper theorizes conditions accelerating experiential learning within venture creation programs (VCPs). Traditionally, experiential learning theory views learning as a slow and self-directed process. In contrast, VCPs offer time-compressed, enterprise-oriented training structured around predetermined plans and schedules. Our theorizing shifts the primary focus from cyclical movements (“loops”)

Novel glycophospholipids: : Phospholipase D catalysed synthesis and characterization

Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules that self-assemble into organized structures such as bilayers and vesicles when dispersed in aqueous solutions. This property in addition to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and natural abundance in high titres makes phospholipids highly attractive as formulation excipients for a wide range of biological and technical applications. However, isolatin

Reimagining social work: letting go of futures past

Imminent crises and the much-needed transition to a sustainable society bring knowledge about de-implementation to the fore. Using case studies with inspiration from process tracing, and with tools from Charles Tilly’s theory on Durable inequality, we identify mechanisms that generate inequality and counteract the implementation of recovery – and strength-based practices.

Efficacy and Safety of Rituximab in Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease

Introduction: Anti–glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is caused by pathogenic antibodies usually targeting the noncollagenous domain of the α3 chain of type IV collagen and frequently presents as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). Rapid reduction of these antibodies is imperative for kidney survival and the mainstay of therapy is the combination o

Characterization of semiconductors by synchrotron-based techniques

Techniques based on intense photon beams from synchrotrons present unique opportunities for characterizing semiconductor materials, devices and processes. This is based on the unrivaled brightness in a broad wavelength range from infrared to hard X-rays. Synchrotron based methods can answer wide ranging questions in research and technology, and have seen an increase in use over many years as more

Maternal and perinatal outcomes after implementation of a more active management in late- and postterm pregnancies in Sweden : A population-based cohort study

Background The risk of perinatal death and severe neonatal morbidity increases : gradually after 41 weeks of pregnancy. We evaluated maternal and perinatal outcomes after a national shift from expectancy and induction at 42+0 weeks to a more active management of late-term pregnancies in Sweden offering induction from 41+0 weeks or an individual plan aiming at birth or active labour no later than 4

Gobiernos y empresas argumentan que las inversiones en energía eólica contribuyen al desarrollo sustentable, combaten el cambio climático y promueven la protección del medioambiente. Sin embargo, el impacto de la expansión a gran escala para la producción de energía renovable en territorios de pueblos autóctonos parece desafiar tales argumentos. Este capítulo presenta dos conceptos claves para dis

Geosystem Services for Subsurface Planning in Sweden : A Pilot Survey

Being a complement to ecosystem services (ES), geosystem services (GS) is a novel concept that helps identify and understand the contributions of the diversity of geological structures and processes of nature to human wellbeing. A pilot survey was carried out to Swedish municipalities in order to: (i) in a systematic way investigate if and how they currently approach GS in their spatial planning p

Interactive HPC and the LUNARC Desktop Environment

Since 2011, LUNARC has aimed to provide an interactive HPC environment for its resource users. Several different architectures have been used, but since 2013, we have been using a remote desktop environment based on Cendio's ThinLinc [1] combined with a custom backend framework, GfxLauncher [2], supporting hardware-accelerated graphics applications and Jupyter Notebooks [3] submitted to the backen

ENHANCING DIGITAL TWINS WITH DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING : A USE CASE IN MAINTENANCE PRIORITIZATION

This paper introduces an innovative framework that enhances digital twins with deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to support maintenance in manufacturing systems. Utilizing a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) layer, this framework integrates real-time and historical production data from a physical manufacturing system to a digital twin, enabling dynamic simulation and analysis. Maintenance

Characterization of a Novel Male Pheromone Compound in Leucoptera sinuella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) and Its Role in Courtship Behavior

The poplar moth, Leucoptera sinuella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), is widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. It was first identified in Chile in 2015 and has since become a significant pest in the agricultural sector. Additionally, economic losses are further aggravated by the presence of L. sinuella pupae in nearby fruit orchards. This study investigated the presence of a male

Myocardial infarction in second-generation immigrants compared to native-born Swedes in the total population of Sweden

Background and aims: Environmental and genetic factors predispose to cardiovascular disease. Some first-generation immigrants have a higher cardiovascular risk in Sweden, while less is known about second-generation immigrants. We aimed to analyze the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among second-generation immigrants in Sweden. Methods: We included all individuals 18 years of age and olde

Beneficial Effects of a Moderately High-Protein Diet on Telomere Length in Subjects with Overweight or Obesity

Background and aim: Telomere length (TL) is a key biomarker of cellular aging, with shorter telomeres associated with age-related diseases. Lifestyle interventions mitigating telomere shortening are essential for preventing such conditions. This study aimed to examine the effects of two weight loss dietary strategies, based on a moderately high-protein (MHP) diet and a low-fat (LF) diet on TL in i

A systematic review of current national hospital-based stroke registries monitoring access to evidence-based care and patient outcomes

Background: National stroke clinical quality registries/audits support improvements in stroke care. In a 2016 systematic review, 28 registries were identified. Since 2016 there have been important advances in stroke care, including the development of thrombectomy services. Therefore, we sought to understand whether registries have evolved with these advances in care. The aim of this systematic rev

Environmental factors influence airborne microplastic deposition in the soil of urban allotment gardens

The widespread contamination of urban soils by airborne microplastics (MPs) is an emerging environmental issue, particularly in urban allotment gardens with home-grown food. This study investigates the vertical distribution of MP in three such gardens in Berlin, Germany, over 90 days. Soil samples were collected at three depths (0-1 cm, 1–15 cm, and 15–30 cm) and analyzed for MP composition and oc

Stayin' alive: Debt complexity as a bankruptcy-delaying mechanism

A complex and multi-layered liability structure with potentially overlapping claims on underlying collateral reduces expected recovery rates for creditors, which increases their incentives to keep otherwise insolvent firms afloat. Financially distressed firms may therefore seek to strategically “toxify” their capital structure to stave off future bankruptcy. In this article, we find evidence indic
