Although the moth fauna of South Sweden is relatively well known, information about the habitat preferences of species is scarce. To fill this gap and document the relative richness and conservation value of different habitats, 32,683 moth were caught in light traps at >200 sites in Central Skåne (prov. Scania). The relative frequency of species, major taxonomic groups and species with different f

Aim: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common and significant complication after voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) but the reported incidence in children varies highly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the rate and possible risk factors for UTIs after VCUG. Method: A multicentre retrospective cohort study of children < 15 years of age undergoing VCUG between 2017 and 2022 w

Time-of-flight neutron transmission and diffraction measurements were performed on four solid beryllium metal grades using the HIPPO neutron time-of-flight diffractometer equipped with an energy-resolved neutron imaging detector at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Analysis of the extracted total neutron cross sections from the transmission measurements revealed a reduction in the coherent elastic s

Galectin-3 (Gal3) is a multifunctional lectin expressed and released by microglia, where it influences diverse processes in both homeostasis and disease. To dissect its intracellular and extracellular roles, we generated Gal3-deficient BV2 microglial cells and systematically assessed how genetic deletion and exogenously added recombinant Gal3 shape microglial physiology. Gal3 deletion increased ce

Background Pulmonary nodules (PNs) are clinically challenging because differentiation between benign and malignant PNs is not possible at CT detection; recurring CT examinations and invasive procedures are often required in PN follow-up. Purpose To investigate PN prevalence in a middle-aged population and the risk factors associated with these nodules. Materials and Methods In this secondary analy

Background: – The use of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is debated. Some argue that ALBC might only be justified in high-risk patients. This study assessed the effectiveness of ALBC vs. plain bone cement (PBC) in reducing risk of revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in TKA patients considered to have a high risk of infection.Methods: – Co

A new species of Diglyphus Walker, D. albifemur Liu, Hansson & Guo, sp. nov., is described based on extensive material from China collected from 2016 to 2024. The entire material included here has been reared from agromyzid leafminers (Diptera, Agromyzidae), mainly from Phytomyza vitalbae Kaltenbach, mining leaves of Clematis orientalis L. The new species is morphologically similar to the Euro

This work introduces a sustainable and versatile synthesis platform for nanosized metal–ceria catalysts with tunable composition, directly relevant to renewable energy conversion and CO2 utilization. The method enables parallel preparation of multiple catalysts in a single batch with high yield and reproducibility, while reducing environmental impact by 92% compared to conventional approaches, as

Globular clusters host complex stellar populations whose chemical signatures suggest early (-) retention and reprocessing of stellar ejecta, yet direct evidence for intracluster gas is lacking. Here we present a unified theoretical framework for the evolution of gas in young globular clusters, and its implications for the production of multiple stellar populations. We show that low-velocity AGB wi

Objectives: Mammographically spiculated breast cancer is frequently less aggressive than cancers with alternative appearances. This study aims to investigate whether the degree of spiculations relative to the tumor mass on mammography, termed the spic mass ratio (SMR), is associated with breast cancer characteristics and survival. Materials and methods: This retrospective exploratory single-center

Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are a fast growing market of high performance materials and components. Thermally induced damage during machining processes such as drilling or routing are among the limiting factors for product quality, yet accurate temperature measurement remains challenging. This study develops a methodology which combines machinable thermocouples and IR thermometry techn

Background: Classification attempts and treatment strategies for endometriosis have been predominantly biomedical. Symptom profiles observed in individuals with endometriosis are multidimensional and may be more effectively captured by a biopsychosocial model. Methods: The aim of this study was to identify distinct subgroups of individuals with endometriosis based on their biopsychosocial profiles

Universities have long used internationalization to prepare students for a highly interconnected world. Although internationalization has often been associated with mobility, current calls for equity, diversity, and inclusion, and climate consciousness, among other things, require institutions to change this strategy. As a response, curriculum internationalization emerges as a more inclusive and s

Background and purpose — Computed tomography (CT) has become a valuable tool for preoperative planning and perioperative, real-time navigation during total hip arthroplasty (THA). CT can also quantify postoperative implant migration without the need for implanted bone markers, making it a promising alternative to the current gold standard radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Our aim was to evaluate t

Downfolding Methods in Many-Electron Theory is a comprehensive description of the last 30 years of study in this field, starting from LDA+U to LDA+DMFT and arriving at the recent work on multitier self-consistent GW+EDMFT. It focuses on different levels of first-principles electronic structure theories for strongly correlated electrons and outlines the downfolding method as a general approach-prov
