Galaxies with high redshift (z) are galaxies in the early universe, and they differ from local ones. They often show more irregular morphologies and significantly different kinematic properties, as turbulent motion dominates. These early galaxies have higher gas velocity dispersion (σ) and lower rotation-to-dispersion (vrot/σ) values. Recent findings from both the JWST and the Atacama Large Millim

Can we fool the molecular time? Cells in our body contain all the information needed for their structure and function, stored in the genetic material, the DNA. Like volumes of an encyclopedia, DNA is organized into chromosomes. Every time the cells divide, all chromosomes are copied, and each new cell gets one copy. But the copying mechanism is not perfect; the end parts of each chromosome -calle

From Strands to Wires All the genetic information required to develop and maintain an organism is packed tightly into the molecule known as DNA. Determining the order of the four bases, which are the building blocks of DNA, enables the identification of a DNA segment. Modern disease diagnostics use this identification method, known as DNA sequencing, to inspect genetic integrity. Thus, it is vita

Metabolism plays a crucial role in an animal’s life as it determines the amount of energy that can be allocated to growth, reproduction, and survival. The strategies an individual adopts to manage its energy budget have direct consequences to its fitness. How an animal allocates its energy will determine whether it can ensure its own survival while having a high reproductive success or neglect one

Denna uppsats avser att utreda och beskriva förutsättningarna för återvinning av betalning av en skuld enligt 4 kap 10 § KonkL och att belysa hur regleringen brukar tolkas och tillämpas. Syftet är att redogöra för innebörden av bestämmelsens rekvisit, med fördjupning i vad som avses med ordinär betalning och hur det bedöms om en betalning är att anse som ordinär eller ej. Materialet i denna uppsatThis essay intends to investigate and to describe the conditions for recovery of payment of a debt according to chapter 4 § 10 KonkL and to highlight how the regulation is usually interpreted and applied. The purpose is to explain the meaning of the provision's requisites, with an in-depth look at what is meant by ordinary payment and how it is assessed whether a payment is to be regarded as o

This study analyzed daily temperature data from 114 meteorological stations in the Qinling-Daba Mountains from 1980 to 2017, focusing on core zones (CE I ≥ 2274 m, CE II 1321–2274 m) and peripheral zones (PE I 668–1321 m, PE II < 668 m). Using 15 extreme temperature indices computed with RClimDex, we assessed the spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and response to climate warming of extreme temperatu

Stroke and anemia are both prevalent conditions with significant health burdens, yet their bidirectional relationship remains poorly understood. Anemia affects up to 29 % of stroke patients and is associated with increased worse outcomes. However, the causal nature of this association, particularly concerning different anemia subtypes, remains controversial, and there is a lack of clear targets an

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer (PC) and dementia may commonly co-occur; yet, prior evidence for bidirectional associations is inconsistent. This study aims to determine the associations between PC and dementia in large population-based studies, which may further inform clinical care. METHODS: To assess the dementia risk in men with PC, a national cohort study was conducted in 178 746 me

Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key indicator of kidney function, typically estimated using creatinine or cystatin C. When cystatin-C-based eGFR is markedly lower than creatinine-based eGFR, this discrepancy may reflect a selective impairment in the filtration of medium-sized molecules, referred to as Shrunken Pore Syndrome (SPS), or more broadly, Selective Glomerular Hypofiltrat

Background: Individuals’ perception of their work climate is expected to strongly influence personnel’s organizational commitment. However, the evidence about the association between organizational commitment and important outcomes, such as performance at work and turnover, is mixed. If this was not enough, little attention has been paid to how individual differences in basic personality (e.g., in

We present the first data release of VELOcities of CEpheids (VELOCE), dedicated to measuring the high-precision radial velocities (RVs) of Galactic classical Cepheids (henceforth, Cepheids). The first data release (VELOCE DR1) comprises 18 225 RV measurements of 258 bona fide classical Cepheids on both hemispheres collected mainly between 2010 and 2022, along with 1161 observations of 164 stars, m

Context. The peculiar Galactic globular cluster ω Centauri (NGC 5139) has drawn attention for its unique features, such as an unusually high stellar mass compared to other Galactic globular clusters and a broad distribution of chemical elements. These features have led to the hypothesis that ω Centauri might be the nuclear remnant of an ancient dwarf galaxy accreted by the Milky Way, potentially b

Background: Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) devices equipped with cadmium–zinc–telluride (CZT) detectors achieve high contrast resolution because of their enhanced energy resolution. Recently, thallium bromide (TlBr) has gained attention as a detector material because of its high atomic number and density. Purpose: This study evaluated the clinical applicability of a SPECT syste

Background: Both aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) affect brain networks, with early disruptions occurring in regions involved in episodic memory. Few studies have, however, focused on distinguishing region-specific effects of AD-biomarker negative “normal” aging and early amyloid- and tau pathology on functional connectivity. Further, longitudinal studies combining imaging, biomarkers, and cogni

Background: Elderly individuals with chronic conditions or acute illnesses are major drivers of hospitalization, with frail patients frequently utilizing emergency department (ED) services. To ease this burden, many countries offer home-based medical services. In Region Halland, Sweden, a mobile team intervention in municipal home care (MHC) was introduced to support frail elderly patients. This s

Background: Chromosomal translocations t(11;22) (q24;q12) are characteristic of about 80-90% of Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors [bone and soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma and peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (PNET)]. They generate ews/fli1 rearrangements showing great diversity in breakpoint exon combination. In about 5% of Ewing's tumors, ews is fused to the erg gene at 21q22. The various chimeric p
