Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs), formed via lipid vesicle adsorption on highly curved silica surfaces, are widely used in biosensor applications and as models for curved cell membranes. However, SLB formation is often hindered on convex structures with radii comparable to the vesicles. In this study, lightguiding semiconductor nanowires (NWs), engineered for fluorescence signal enhancement, were u

Electron paramagnetic resonance of Cr3+ ions in β -Ga2O3 is investigated using terahertz spectroscopic ellipsometry under magnetic field sweeping, a technique that enables the polarization resolving capabilities of ellipsometry for magnetic resonance measurements. We employed a single-crystal chromium-doped β -Ga2O3 sample, grown by the Czochralski method, and performed ellipsometry measurements a

X-ray fluorescence emission spectroscopy is a powerful tool to gain chemical information on a wide variety of samples. Its combination with focused X-ray beams and translation stages enables X-ray fluorescence microscopy, generating quantitative distribution maps for sets of chemical elements, depending on incident photon energy and detector specifications. The use of synchrotron radiation for X-r

Background: The European Union recently recommended evaluation of the feasibility of organised prostate cancer screening. In Sweden, regional population-based organised prostate cancer testing (OPT) programmes were introduced in 2020. Objective: To describe initial participation rates and diagnostic outcomes. Design, setting, and participants: The three most populated Swedish regions invited all m

The aggregation of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is one of the molecular hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Although Aβ deposits have mostly been observed extracellularly, various studies have also reported the presence of intracellular Aβ assemblies. Because these intracellular Aβ aggregates might play a role in the onset and progression of AD, it is important to investigate their possible origi

OBJECTIVES: To compare patient reported outcomes from before surgery to 52 weeks after surgery between individuals undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for traumatic meniscal tears and those for degenerative meniscal tears.DESIGN: Comparative prospective cohort study.SETTING: Four public orthopaedic departments in the Region of Southern Denmark. Participants were recruited between 1 Februa

This chapter provides a brief yet comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in semiconductor characterization using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The concept of ellipsometry as optical technique to determine the state of polarization of light reflected or transmitted from complex-structured and multiple layered semiconductor materials is introduced and laid out in the framework of the Jones vec

Background: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a lung cancer carcinogen. However, the genotoxic and mutagenic effects of Cr(VI) in humans at low-to-moderate occupational exposure levels are unknown. This study aims to investigate the relationship between occupational exposure to Cr(VI) and the presence of oxidative damage, genetic and epigenetic alterations. Methods: We included 113 Cr(VI) exposed wo

Non-polar and semi-polar III-nitrides have beneficial properties for various electronic applications such as light emitting diodes and photodetectors due to the elimination or reduction of polarization effects. However, cost-effective manufacturing of non-polar and semi-polar III-nitride films with sufficient film quality is not feasible yet. We report an investigation of the morphological and str

Catalytic studies traditionally rely on steady-state conditions resulting in time-averaged datasets that do not differentiate between active and spectator species. This limitation can cause misinterpretations of catalytic function, as the signal of short-lived intermediates responsible for producing desired reaction products is often masked by more intense spectator species. Time-resolved ambient

Aerosolised Polystyrene Latex (PSL) nanoparticles are, due to their well-defined size, spherical shape, and inert surface, useful in many experimental applications, including studies of particle deposition in the human lung. Aerosolising nanoparticles entails added challenges, and nanoparticles can potentially be more hazardous than otherwise equivalent microparticles. The objective of this work w

Background: Understanding the relationship between serum ferritin levels and cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes is crucial for improving risk stratification and guiding therapeutic interventions aimed at preventing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). This study aimed to identify distinct clusters of individuals with type 2 diabetes who have varying risks of MACE using a data-driven

The development of sustainable photosensitiser complexes based on Earth-abundant metallic elements is important for sustainable solar energy conversion and green synthesis through photocatalysis. We report the synthesis and characterisation of a new bis(tripodal) iron(III) N-heterocyclic carbene complex [Fe(PhB{impy}3)2]+ (PhB{impy}3 = phenyltris(imidazo-[1,5-a]-pyridinylidene)borate) featuring -e

Chaperones may retard the aggregation of other proteins and increase their solubility. An important goal is a thermodynamic understanding of such an action. Here, the chaperone DNAJB6b (JB6) is found to suppress amyloid formation of the protein α-synuclein (α-syn) leading to a reduced rate of fibril formation and an increase in apparent solubility of α-syn. These findings were reached at mildly ac

The intersection of theory and practice: Do crisis communication practitioners apply theoretical guidelines and what (or who) might be stopping them? Abstract Twenty-five in-depth interviews with European crisis communication practitioners were conducted in order to examine the gap between crisis communication theory and practice. Over the years crisis communication has grown to be an important re

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most com- mon cause of movement disorder and has a median age-of-onset of ~55 years. It presents with a classical triad of motor symptoms: akinesia, rigidity and tremor. Many patients also suffer from non-motor symptoms, including disturbances of autonomic func- tions and deterioration of cognition1. The aetiology and pathogenetic mechanisms that cause PD remain eni
