Municipal climate resiliency and re-naturing plans are promoting greening and green (re)development, such as the inclusion of new parks, greenways, or rehabilitated shorelines, frequently as a-political, win-win solutions for all residents. Greenwashing and (re)development of green amenities in vulnerable neighborhoods—those often most in need of support toward resilience and adaptation—expose res
The purpose of the study was to develop a simple and rapid method for measuring the average settling velocity of particles in stormwater ponds. Water samples with suspended particles were collected from the bottom of a stormwater pond in Lund, Sweden. The absorbance in various samples was measured over 24 hours (at 600 nm wavelength) and then translated into total solids concentrations. A one-dime
The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) is a Precambrian basement domain in the Scandinavian Caledonides and one of the world's largest high- and ultrahigh-pressure terranes. The south–central WGR underwent regional eclogite facies metamorphism 415–400 Ma ago when Baltica subducted beneath Laurentia, during the Scandian orogeny. Eclogites in the WGR group into two traditional types: (1) Precambrian mafic
Esophagectomy is a complex and complication laden procedure. Despite centralization, variations in perioparative strategies reflect a paucity of evidence regarding optimal routines. The use of nasogastric (NG) tubes post esophagectomy is typically associated with significant discomfort for the patients. We hypothesize that immediate postoperative removal of the NG tube is non-inferior to current r
Research on personality traits predicting life outcomes has typically been investigated using the Big Five factors and only occasionally their facets. However, recent research suggests that the use of items (reflecting personality nuances) can account for more predictive variance. The aim of the present study was to examine the predictive validity for various life outcomes comparing the hierarchic
Alternative jet fuels can be radically different from conventional fuels in composition, and the consequences of these differences are a subject of ongoing research. Numerical combustion simulations are vital to this research, and require chemical reaction mechanisms that accurately capture the chemical pathways of combustion. For turbulent combustion, these mechanisms must also be compact and eff
This paper presents the characterisation and testing of the first wafer-scale monolithic stitched sensor (MOSS) prototype developed for the ALICE ITS3 upgrade that is to be installed during the LHC Long Shutdown 3 (2026–2030). The MOSS chip design is driven by the truly cylindrical detector geometry that imposes that each layer is built out of two wafer-sized, bent silicon chips. The stitching tec
Background Completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is often recommended for patients with isolated tumour cells (ITCs) or micrometastases in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) or target lymph node (TLN) to assess the definite nodal tumour burden after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The aim of this study was to investigate the upgrade of N stage by cALND in patients with low-volume metastase
Disclosed is a method (310) for providing operational feedback during power transfer in a wireless power transfer system. The wireless power transfer system comprises a power transmit device arranged to transfer power over an inductive wireless power transfer interface operating at a transmit frequency to a power receive device. The wireless power transfer system is adapted to transfer information
AimTreatment of complex anal fistulae remains a significant challenge for physicians and patients. A sphincter-preserving technique with bioactive platelet-rich fibrin matrix is one option. This three-year study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of bioactive platelet-rich fibrin matrix in treating complex anal fistulae.MethodThis retrospective study analysed data from 2019 to 2022 of patients diagnos
Background:The need for complete staging surgery including hysterectomy for all age patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) is debatable, considering fertility in younger patients and potential higher morbidity in older patients. We aimed to investigate the relapse risk and overall survival in a cohort including patients who underwent conservative surgery (organ-preserving procedures) to min
A search for the dimuon decay of the Higgs boson is presented based on pp collision data recorded by ATLAS during Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 165 fb-1 at √s = 13.6 TeV. To enhance the sensitivity, the results are combined with those from Run 2. An excess of events over the background is observed with a significance of 3.4σ (2.5σ expected). The b
Scarcity, abundance, and excess – the experience of having too little, just enough, or too much of something (Abbott, 2014) – we frequently encounter in our lives. However, given recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), we now face an unprecedented volume of communication across digital media contexts (Schulz et al., 2025). GenAI enables faster, more efficient ways of proScarcity, abundance, and excess – the experience of having too little, just enough, or too much of something (Abbott, 2014) – we frequently encounter in our lives.

Extreme heat is a growing public health threat in tropical Africa, especially in Ghana where outdoor maximum daily temperatures (Tx) regularly exceed 35 °C. Vulnerability to heat is socially and economically differentiated, with pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and people with chronic health conditions most at risk. High proportions of these groups are found in hospitals, yet little
This paper explores the changing nature of social institutions and organizations for resource management on Ontong Java and their central role in maintaining livelihoods. Using detailed field data for three time periods, 1970-72, 1986 and 2006-07, and drawing on earlier secondary data, a longitudinal analysis of changes in governance and livelihoods is undertaken. Increased exploitation of marine
Water balance models provide insights into ongoing changes in the water cycle. Among them, monthly water balance models (MWBMs) are especially suitable for large-sample and global assessments, which are important for adaptation to global environmental change. This study evaluates monthly water balances from 14 models across more than 2,000 global catchments, comparing the modelś capacities to repr
This chapter discusses trade-offs that need to be struck while developing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations. Ten trade-offs are outlined, pertaining to technical systems, to human operators, and to the combined sociotechnical system in its operational and organizational environment, which have implications for Human-Systems Integration (HSI) in multiple phases of the systems engineering l
OBJECTIVES: To identify the lowest sensitivity and specificity that physicians and the general population consider acceptable for medical artificial intelligence (AI), relative to current human performance.METHODS: In a nationwide, cross-sectional survey in Sweden, 2025, random samples of 500 physicians and 500 adults from the general population were mailed a questionnaire presenting three vignett
The resilience performance of networked microgrids (NMGs) in disaster-prone areas, using a real-world testbed located in Lombok, Indonesia is explored in this paper. Given the increasing environmental pressures and energy security concerns in Indonesia, it is vital to improve the robustness and sustainability of decentralized energy infrastructures. We propose an optimization-based energy manageme
This study clarifies when Bayesian analysis provides a practical advantage, particularly in large-area searches, hazardous or inaccessible environments, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenarios where direct source approach is not feasible. We present a PyMC-based Bayesian framework for localizing a single unshielded gamma-emitting source and estimating its activity, with the ability to switch
