Background: Severe left-sided cardiac obstructions are associated with high morbidity and mortality if not detected in time. The correct prenatal diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is difficult. Fetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) may improve the prenatal diagnosis of complex congenital heart defects. Flow measurements in the ascending aorta could aid in predicting postnatal Co

This article deals with the taxation of the increasingly growing workforce able to perform their work remotely. The phenomenon of remote work has experienced rapid growth, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic when employees were recommended or obliged to work from home due to government lockdowns and restrictions. With the increasing prevalence of remote work, employers are able to re

A literature review and statistical analysis of the potential of agricultural residual waste as building materials in South Sweden was carried out. This data showed that there is a clear capacity for the use of mainly straw-generating crops as building materials in the region.A literature review and statistical analysis of the potential of agricultural residual waste as building materials in South Sweden was carried out.

Migration is a psychosocial challenge, and migrants' transitory experiences in host countries are shaped by a combination of linked environmental factors. The absence of social aspects of resilience, as well as disciplinary limitations and biases, hinder the methodological rigor and flexibility needed to investigate social resilience as a phenomenon that occurs at the intersection of social, cultu

Waterborne diseases lead to over 6 billion diarrheal episodes per year, with most of the burden on children in low-income countries. We employ hydrological engineering principles to construct a novel measure of stagnant water, crucial to the spread of these diseases. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we estimate the causal effect of stagnant water on the health and cognitive skills of Ta

Due to climate change and increasing pressures on resources, the demand for more energy-efficient buildings is increasing globally. Building information modeling (BIM) and building energy modeling (BEM) are two essential tools to make the necessary transition to net-zero energy buildings (NZEB). This article presents two case studies aiming to automate information from the BIM model to predict ann

This chapter highlights Kenneth Grant’s “Vinum Sabbati” (1961). Grant became an influential figure in the British Thelemic movement, and to some extent British occultism in general, after Aleister Crowley’s death in 1947. “Vinum Sabbati” is a short essay on the Witches’ Sabbath, and two principal lines of reasoning are intertwined in the text. To some extent, Grant argues that the witches’ Sabbath

This chapter addresses the organization known as the Satanic Reds, which was founded in the latter half of the 1990s by Tani Jantsang and Philip Marsh. The organization has been described as a ”virtual audience cult,” and even though it is clear that several people have contributed in shaping it, the organization has been especially influenced by its two founders. Jantsang and Marsh have spoken fo

The Theosophical movement which emerged in the late nineteenth century served as an important context through which beliefs, practices, and social networks associated with Asian religion were disseminated in Europe during the early twentieth century. Early Theosophy favored the doctrinal and philosophical dimensions of Asian religion and much of the movement’s activities consisted of the productio

Introduction: High-inflammation subgroups of patients with psychosis demonstrate cognitive deficits and neuroanatomical alterations. Systemic inflammation assessed using IL-6 and C-reactive protein may alter functional connectivity within and between resting-state networks, but the cognitive and clinical implications of these alterations remain unknown. We aim to determine the relationships of ele

Background: In Sweden, vaccine uptake is exceptionally high due to an efficient child immunization program. More than 97% of Swedish children were vaccinated at child health care centers (CHCs) according to the schedule at 2 years of age in 2021. From the age of 6 years, vaccinations are given within the school health care. Maintaining high vaccination coverage over time is one of the central moti

During recent years, we are moving away from the ‘one exposure, one disease’-approach in occupational settings and towards a more comprehensive approach, taking into account the totality of exposures during a life course by using an exposome approach. Taking an exposome approach however is accompanied by many challenges, one of which, for example, relates to the collection of biological samples. M

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is increasingly used to non-invasively study the acute impact of psychedelics on the human brain. While fMRI is a promising tool for measuring brain function in response to psychedelics, it also has known methodological challenges. We conducted a systematic review of fMRI studies examining acute responses to experimentally administered psychedelics in o

Electroencephalography (EEG) data entail a complex spatiotemporal structure that reflects ongoing organization of brain activity. Characterization of the spatial patterns is an indispensable step in numerous EEG processing pipelines. We present a novel method for transforming EEG data into a spectral representation. First, we learn subject-specific graphs from each subject's EEG data. Second, by e
