Aim: Many children with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries do not attend school and one-third are out of school. In order to ensure that education is for all including children with disabilities, research is needed on barriers to schooling to identify targets for intervention. The study...

... Background School non-completion and early work disability is a great public health challenge in Norway, as in most western countries. This study aims to investigate how medically based disability pension (DP) among young adults varies geographically and how municipal socioeconomic conditions interact...

...to their widespread application in consumer products, elemental titanium (e.g., titanium dioxide, TiO₂) and silver (Ag), also in nanoparticulate form, are increasingly released from households and industrial facilities to urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). A seven-day sampling campaign was conducted...

Mike Batzle and his colleagues has provided a fundamental understanding of mechanisms behind dispersion and attenuation of elastic waves in fluid-saturated rocks. It also has made way for a realization that these phenomena need to be accounted for in a better way when interpreting seismic and sonic data...

...tungstate, La27(W,Mo)5O55.5−δ, and lanthanum chromite, La0.87Sr0.13CrO3−δ, have recently been shown to exhibit H₂ permeabilities among state-of-the-art. The present work deals with the long-term stability of these cercer membranes in line with concern of flux degradation and phase instability observed in...

...selected sulfides, oxysulfides, and oxysulfates. In this respect, dissolution of H₂S and H₂O into anion vacancies as SH– and OH–, respectively, was considered for La2O2S, La2O2SO4, and the perovskite sulfides SrZrS3 and BaZrS3. The structurally equivalent A-La2O3 and SrZrO3 were included for comparison...

...journey approach is increasingly being taken up by practitioners and researchers to support the design and management of services. As part of this approach, customers and internal resources are often involved as contributors of input in design and management processes. In the current literature on customer...

...flow during the onset period gives irregular saturation fronts and deviation from the square-root-of-time behavior. The deviation was caused by local variation in porosity and permeability or by a nonuniform wettability distribution, and was directly visualized or imaged by positron-emission tomography...

Laser beam welding (LBW) and laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) are attractive joining methods of medium thickness (10-20 mm) plates in a single pass welding technique. Both utilize high energy process in order to achieve high penetration depth and high welding speeds offering substantial increase in productivity...

...migration of bubbles in shear flow and observe that bubbles suspended in elastoviscoplastic emulsions organise into chains aligned in the flow direction, similarly to particles in viscoelastic fluids. To investigate the driving mechanism, we perform experiments and simulations on bubble pairs, using...

Fluorinated polymers play a significant role in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain, which is considered as the most viable solution to limit the CO₂ emission in the atmosphere, with the potential to be applied at short-medium times. Indeed, among the various classes of polymers, fluorinated...
