Individual variation among and within natural populations can have eco-evolutionary implications by, for example, affecting species interactions or evolutionary potential. Urban systems present a unique opportunity to evaluate how environmental change shapes variation since urban phenotypic differentiation is widely documented on contemporary timescales. We introduce and test three hypotheses to d

A meditation on gratitude, strangeness, and listening with careA deceptive cadence suggests resolution but withholds it, opening instead to uncertainty, fragility, and the unexpected. This philosophical-existential inquiry takes that musical figure as a metaphor for life itself—disrupted by illness, sustained by another’s gift, and reshaped by the presence of death. Music here becomes a vital comp

The rise of social media platforms in the early 2010’s marked a shift in public diplomacy practice resulting in the emergence of “digital public diplomacy.” This chapter explores the evolution of digital public diplomacy by emphasizing digital culture as a significant source of social and political change in a broader societization of diplomacy. Moving beyond a narrow focus on digitalization, it a

We report the first incorporation of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) into micellar systems of the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer Pluronic® F127 for nitric oxide (NO) delivery and show how sodium taurodeoxycholate (NaTDC) modulates F127 micellization and gelation. Using differential scanning calorimetry, small-angle X-ray scat

This work is devoted to the development and comprehensive validation of a new interatomic potential for bcc and hcp refractory alloys based on the Wsingle bondMosingle bondNbsingle bondTasingle bondZrsingle bondTi system. The presented model allows the simulation of various structural transformations, as well as the behavior of crystal defects in several of the phases observed in this system. The

Natural history museum collections (NHC) represent an underutilized yet valuable resource for tracking environmental changes and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems. Historical samples, particularly foraminifera collected during marine expeditions from the late 1800s to mid-1900s, offer crucial baseline data pre-dating significant human influence. These collections, often accompanied by oce

A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Therefore, this potential vital link needs testing by characterizing exoplanets around chemically-diverse stars. We present the discovery of two planets orbiting the metal-poor, kinematic thick-disc K-dwarf TOI2345. TOI-2345

Denna rapport handlar om utformningen av hastighetssäkrade åtgärder på landsbygd, mer specifikt så har ett experiment i en körsimulator utförts för att studera hur hastigheten genom åtgärden påverkas när man ökar eller minskar åtgärdens längd och bredd (sidoförskjutning). Experimentet har utgått ifrån två existerande platser där flera olika förändringar av geometrin gjorts i den digitala miljön. E

Background: Fiducial markers in image-guided prostate cancer radiotherapy reduce geometric uncertainty during daily patient setup and enable assessment of target position changes. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for target delineation improves prostate cancer localization, beneficial for intraprostatic focal boost. Artifacts from fiducial markers on prostate diffusion-weighted
