UNLABELLED: Pectobacterium brasiliense ( Pbr) is known to be one of the most virulent Pectobacterium species and is generally widely distributed across the globe, especially known for causing soft rot in potato-tubers and black leg in potato-plants. Currently no treatment mechanism exists, and many studies have focused on alternative treatment approaches such as biocontrol agents. Several stu

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driver of evolution and a key source of innovation in the microbial world. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as plasmids and phages, often act as agents of HGT or as vehicles for cargo genes, some of which define the adaptive potential of the host organism in specific environments. These genes are involved in immunity, anti-immunity, virulence, and anti

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a significant risk factor for several neurological disorders, including stroke and dementia, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these risks remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated temporal proteomic remodeling of the cerebrovasculature in male spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto controls at 30 and 40 weeks of age, represen

We consider the numerical approximation of the stochastic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with additive noise on the one-dimensional torus. The complex nature of the equation means that many of the standard approaches developed for stochastic partial differential equations cannot be directly applied. We use an energy approach to prove an existence and uniqueness result as well as to obtain moment

Second language acquisition (SLA) research has historically prioritized classroom-based contexts, with the exception of areas such as study abroad, incidental and self-directed learning. In the last decades, however, research interest in second language (L2) learning beyond the classroom has grown substantially, expanding our understanding of where and how L2 learning takes place. This can be larg

Digital phantoms are virtual representations of the human body used in medical research to test equipment, train medical professionals and develop or validate algorithms. These models can be created from ‘real-world’ clinical data or from ‘synthetic data’. Phantoms derived from clinical data often serves as ‘ground truth’ reference values anchored in empirical observations. However, there is growi

Urbanization is driving cities to grow, often through urban densification. Utilising computer-based simulations executed over 3D representations of the city is imperative in addressing the challenges posed by implementing sustainable urban densifications; like ensuring adequate access to daylight and limiting noise pollution. However, since these simulations are usually resource-intensive, timecon

BACKGROUND: Changes in Ischemic White matter hyperintensities volume (WMH) on MRI over time are associated with cognitive decline. We investigated whether changes in WMH volume over time exhibit WMH-normalized volume threshold effects on declining cognitive performance and whether these effects on cognition differ between deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMH) and periventricular white matter h

”Hur kan det europeiska storstadstornet rädda staden?” Ungefär så, och sett i motsats till den anglosaxiska skyskrapan, kan det projekt som genomsyrar den här boken formuleras..."

This short communication explores the intersection between agroecology and spirituality, drawing on field insights from faith-based agroecological initiatives in Uganda and the teachings of Laudato Si, Pope Francis’s encyclical on integral ecology. We specificallyfocus on agroecological practices observed at institutions where agroecology is integrated with spiritual renewal through forest regener

Agroecology is increasingly recognized as a transformative pathway for building resilient and equitable food systems and addressing climate challenges. In Uganda, civil society organization (CSO) networks play a pivotal role in promoting agroecology through training, advocacy, and the facilitation of farmer-led innovations. This study examined the role of the Participatory Ecological Land Use Mana

Elevated endostatin levels independently predicted 3-month mortality in acute dyspnoeapatients with CHF, but not 1-month mortality. Endostatin may aid intermediate-term risk stratification and warrants further validation.

Gal-3 appears clinically useful for ruling out short-term mortality in patients with acute dyspnea and could have role as a negative prognostic marker in the emergency department.
