Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity; however, its relationship with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis detected incidentally on routine chest computed tomography (CT) remains incompletely defined. We aimed to evaluate the association between questionnaire-based OSA risk and moderate-to-severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patie
Corporate misconduct is a persistent feature of contemporary organizational life, yet corporations rarely acknowledge wrongdoing when confronted with allegations of harm. Instead, they rely on discursive strategies that protect legitimacy, organizational identity, and moral credibility. This chapter examines how corporations employ techniques of neutralization to defend themselves against accusati
Persistent circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) during neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) of early breast cancer (EBC) indicates high-risk disease. Similarly, detection of ctDNA post-resection indicates molecular residual disease (MRD) and impending relapse. For ctDNA to be integrated into EBC management, accessible and scalable diagnostics are required. Here we apply an ultrasensitive, personalized tumor-infor
Minnesord över Eva Österbergs gärning som historiker, hennes forskningsinsatser och värdefulla arbete som handledare.
The David Jonas Festschrift is a collection of 67 contributions that cover the latest developments and applications in multidimensional and ultrafast spectroscopies, spanning a wide range of topics. The editorial provides background and summarizes the contributions to the special issue across the areas of experimental advances, theory and computation, proteins and biological systems, nanomaterials
Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco-evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological, evolutionary, and dietary diversity. Yet, avian micr
The digitalization of learning environments during the last decades has changed education at its core. At the same time as computers in the classroom offer multiple advantages, they also allow for multitasking and off-task behavior, undermining students’ attention and affecting their knowledge gains. In today’s highly digitalized classrooms, the challenge of maintaining student focus amidst pervasDue to an increase in unverified information that reaches people, data literacy, i.e. the understanding of how to interact with, and interpret information, becomes increasingly important for informed citizenship and responsible decision-making in a democratic society. Central to data literacy is the ability to draw conclusions based on existing data, as well as to interpret and evaluate numerical
A university student in China today might find himself or herself taking a “golden course” that blends practical and academic training. The student earns degree credit while gaining direct exposure to industry. The course might even be sponsored by Alibaba, the online retail giant, or another large firm.
We present a synthesis route for solid-state nanocatalysts composed of gallium phosphide nanowire supports decorated with catalytic palladium nanoparticles. Through precise control of fabrication conditions, we were able to tune the nanowire morphology, density, and crystal structure. The resulting catalysts were highly active and selective in the partial hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styren
Bioenergy is the largest energy source in the Swedish energy system, where it consists mainly of domestic forest-based biomass in the form of residues and by-products. Today, there is a general discussion about the need for changes in national forest management policies and new European Union (EU) directives and regulations for forestry and bioenergy to better fulfil biodiversity and climate targe
This article revises the intellectual history of slavery in eighteenth-century Denmark. Against the view that there was little discussion of slavery in Denmark before the reception of British abolitionist ideas towards the end of the century, it shows that the teaching of natural law provided a consistent, significant, and overlooked forum for discussing the question of slavery. Engaging with a si
A new genus and species of emperor butterfly (Nymphalidae, Apaturinae) is described based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the "Calcaire de Campagne Calavon" limestone of southern France (early Oligocene age, approximately 34–28 Mya). Most parts of the right wings and upper parts of the left wings are visible, with complete venation and even wing patterns. The head and thorax are c
While the impacts of climate change can negatively affect persons in both developed and developing countries, the notion of climate change loss and damage has typically been associated with the latter. Indeed, the mandate of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage, the institution tasked with addressing loss and damage in international climate change law, extends to developing count
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the associations between impaired spirometry such as obstructive pattern and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and occurrent cardiovascular events and deaths in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: Cohort study of 517 patients with age ≥40 years and ≥10 pack-years of smoking, hospitalized for myocardial infarction at eig
ObjectiveTo compare the early and midterm outcomes of left subclavian artery revascularization during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) following carotid subclavian bypass/transposition (CSB) vs. fenestrated repair when landing in zone 1/2. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for baseline differences.MethodsDEbranching versus FENestrated Repair for Left SubClavian Arter
