Understanding the recombination landscape is crucial for revealing the extent of its variation across the tree of life and for uncovering its underlying causes and evolutionary consequences. Among the many factors influencing recombination rates, polymorphic inversions are particularly important modifiers. Increasingly, complex inversion landscapes are being documented across diverse taxa, and det
Aims:The Evangelical-Lutheran Swedish Church was separated from the state in 2000. In the 2001–2025 elections to the church meeting, a trend of increasing support for political/theological extremes can be discerned. The aim is to investigate these trends in terms of Sartori’s concept polarized pluralism, which was later modified.Results:The political/theological center which consists of the SocialAims: The Evangelical-Lutheran Swedish Church was separated from the state in 2000.

This article presents a comprehensive review of conspicuous consumption research by examining its past and present to project its future. Drawing on a systematic review of 955 articles on conspicuous consumption, we trace how the field has progressed from its origins in economics to a multidisciplinary domain spanning psychology and marketing. This evolution has led to diverse interpretations of c
Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in hiring, raising concerns about how applicants perceive these systems. While prior work on algorithmic fairness has emphasized technical bias mitigation, little is known about how avatar identity cues influence applicants' justice attributions in an interview context. We conducted a crowdsourcing study with 215 participants who completed an interview
Kan rättslig reglering bidra till att säkerställa tillgång till goda bostäder för alla? För att belysa den frågan har vi gjort en systematisk kunskapsöversikt av forskning om reglering av den sociala bostadspolitiken. Denna policy brief lyfter fram resultat, slutsatser och rekommendationer från kunskapsöversikten. Resultaten pekar på att mer effektiva lagar behövs som styrinstrument för en hållbar
I detta avsnitt utforskar vi tillsammans med våra gäster möjliga framtider i en samtid genomsyrad av permanent katastrof som det nya normala. Gästerna är Johan Alfonsson, doktor i sociologi, Anders Ekström, professor i idéhistoria och Anna Lundberg, professor i rättssociologi. Med utgångspunkt i deras forskningsintressen diskuterar vi kapitalismens, klimatets, det internationella rättssystemets oc
The Israel – Iran intelligence contest exemplifies hybrid conflict conducted below the threshold of open war. This study examines Israel’s penetration of Iran’s intelligence and security apparatus and the Islamic Republic’s counterintelligence (CI) response using open-source material within a dual-lens framework. Lens 1 traces Israeli operations from early assassinations and cyber sabotage to the
The steel industry emits 2,400–2,713 Mt CO2 and 12 Mt of fugitive methane globally each year, yet progress towards decarbonization has been limited. In this Review, we examine the potential, feasibility and barriers to decarbonization of the steel sector. The blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace (BF–BOF) accounts for ~72% of global steel production and has the highest carbon emission intensity of ex
BACKGROUND: Non-operative treatment for acute appendicitis (AA) in children has gained acceptance as an alternative to surgery in selected cases. Accurate preoperative differentiation between perforated and non-perforated AA is increasingly important, as the former requires emergency surgery while the latter may be managed conservatively. Previous research has suggested that low plasma sodium conc
Dysregulation of alternative splicing is increasingly associated with cancer development and tumor progression. BCL2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1) is involved in a wide range of biological processes and it is continuously being investigated due to its intricate function in tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, we identified two distinct, unbala
BACKGROUND: Secondary peritonitis caused by gastrointestinal perforation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Effective management includes surgical source control, antibiotic therapy, and intensive resuscitation. The choice between primary abdominal closure (PAC) and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) in the management of secondary peritonitis remains a subject of debate.METHODS: Th
BACKGROUND: Secondary peritonitis is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Its management requires emergency laparotomy for source control. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) and primary abdominal closure (PAC) are the main strategies for managing the laparostomy after source control. Despite the increasing use of VAC, concerns persist regarding its complications and long-term o
Background: Colophony and its derivatives are common allergens. Contact dermatitis from colophony-containing adhesive tapes for blister prevention has previously been reported among Swedish conscripts. Objectives: To present the investigation of suspected allergic contact dermatitis among Norwegian military personnel exposed to medical adhesive tapes during service. Patients/Materials/Methods: Fou
Introduction: Spasticity may introduce bias in passive range of motion (ROM) measurements in children with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to explore the impact of spasticity on the reliability and potential measurement bias of goniometric assessments of ankle dorsiflexion and knee extension in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). Methods: Thirty-two children aged 6–17 years wi
First, we present a new algorithm for the single-source shortest paths problem (SSSP) in edge-weighted directed graphs, with n vertices, m edges, and both positive and negative real edge weights. For a positive integer parameter t, in O(tm) time the algorithm finds for each vertex v a path distance from the source to v not exceeding that given by the shortest path from the source to v among the so
Industrial and urban symbiosis (IUS) is promoted as a strategy for advancing circular economy transitions, yet implementation often lags behind expectations. While most research highlights municipalities as facilitators of external partnerships, their internal governance role remains underexplored. The aim of this article is to examine how Swedish municipalities govern IUS within their own adminis
Purpose: This paper investigates how farm advisers can develop their practices beyond facilitating farmers’ legal compliance to mediate between farmers’ and regulatory officials’ knowledge and experience of implementing farm-level legal regulation. Design/methodology/approach: Building on theories of knowledge types and Communities of Practice (CoP), the paper employs a qualitative research design
Massively multidimensional diffusion-relaxation correlation MRI provides detailed information on tissue microstructure by analyzing water populations at a sub-voxel level. This method correlates frequency-dependent tensor-valued diffusion MRI with longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates, generating non-parametric D(ω)-R1-R2-distributions. Traditionally, D(ω)-R1-R2-distributions are separated
Obesity is a key contributor to heart failure, driving increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This association is supported by multiple pathophysiological mechanisms and consistent epidemiological evidence, particularly not only in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but also in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Given the rising prevalence of
