Welcome to Folkparken in the university town of Lund, Sweden, a public park with a public brutalist building which currently serves as a meeting place for the local neighbourhood. In this chapter, we study the contested history of Folkparken through a queer theoretical framework based on the conceptual pair of “support” and “coherence”, exploring how spatial, social, and legislative resources are

In light of the current climate- and biodiversity crises, the political interest in peatlands has increased dramatically as these ecosystems hold the potential to address several urgent societal challenges. In Denmark, a political agreement from 2024 aims to restore 140.000 hectares of agricultural peatlands by 2030. The main goal is to reduce GHG emissions from agriculture and decrease nitrogen r

There is a general consensus that children and adolescents should ideally travel to school actively and independently. Yet, in many parts of the world, real and perceived traffic risks represent a major barrier to walking, cycling, or the use of scooters. As the perspectives of children and adolescents on perceived dangers are insufficiently understood, this quantitative-qualitative study compares

Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) is a prototypical soft-lattice semiconductor whose orthorhombic and tetragonal polymorphs can coexist and interconvert under optical excitation or changes in temperature. The mixed-phase regime attracts attention because of the carrier transfer between phases, which enables optoelectronic functionalities such as optical gain. Here, we investigate carrier dynamic

Perceived stigmatization places a large psychosocial burden on patients with some skin conditions. Little is known about the experience of stigmatization across a wide range of skin diseases. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to quantify perceived stigmatization and identify its predictors among patients with a broad spectrum of skin diseases across 17 European countries. Self-report

Background: Itch as the most common symptom in dermatology has been shown to be related to psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and depression. Moreover, associations were found between perceived stigmatization and itch. However, studies investigating the differences between patients with dermatoses with and without itch regarding perceived stress, stigmatization, anxiety and depression a

The microbial ability to recover metabolism after perturbation events ensures ecosystem functional stability in a changing climate, where multiple climatic stressors increasingly occur in sequential and seasonally cyclic patterns. While prior exposure to a specific stress can enhance microbial resilience to that stress, whether this resilience extends to different stressors remains largely unexplo

Objective: The aim of this research is to identify germline genetic variants that predispose to uveal melanoma (UM) using data from nine studies involving 5839 individuals with UM (3853 novel) and 349,863 healthy controls. Methods: Five novel UM genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed and included for meta-analysis with four previously published UM GWAS. A fixed-effects inverse-varia

While prostate cancer (PrCa) is highly heritable, the genes associated with PrCa survival after diagnosis remain poorly understood. We aimed to identify genes associated with PrCa-specific survival through transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) using genetic predictors of gene expression in the prostate. We used the Transcriptome-Integrated Genetic Association Resource (TIGAR) to train expr

AIMS: To study the associations of dietary intake of A and E vitamins, as well as plasma retinols, carotenoids, and tocopherols in relation to development of islet autoimmunity and progression to T1D.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study followed 7659 newborns with genetic susceptibility to T1D for 6 years in the USA, Finland, Germany, and Swe

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Vitamin K dependent proteins are involved in numerous biological processes, including coagulation, cancer development and inflammation, but their profile and functions in many patient groups and conditions are still unknown. The aim of this study was to describe vitamin K dependent proteins in patients undergoing head and neck free flap surgery, with the hypothesis that thes

ContextIn recent decades, breastfeeding rates and the duration of breastfeeding among American womenhave been increasing. A consequence of longer breastfeeding, however, is that it is more likely tooverlap with subsequent pregnancies, and the implications of this arrangement for pregnancyoutcomes is not well understood.MethodsCox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association

The aggregation of amyloid proteins into fibrillar and oligomeric aggregates is linked to a number of neurodegenerative diseases. While the disease onset remains elusive in many cases, an understanding of the driving forces for the aggregation may help finding possible causes. While effects on amyloid formation kinetics are more commonly studied, gaining insights into these driving forces require

Quest2ROS2 is an open-source ROS2 framework for bi-manual teleoperation designed to scale robot data collection. Extending Quest2ROS, it overcomes workspace limitations via relative motion-based control, calculating robot movement from VR controller pose changes to enable intuitive, pose-independent operation. The framework integrates essential usability and safety features, including real-time RV

Abstract – Introduction: – Severe symptoms and disability may remain after upper and lower limb nerve injuries with an additional risk of persistent pain and consumption of pain medication.Objectives: – To examine whether upper and lower limb nerve injuries, potentially causes of pain, are associated with risk of using pain medication.Methods: – Drug use at an individual level was analysed in a la

Objectives To assess the performance of the ALL IN TRIPLEX rapid antigen-based test for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus. We focus on the potential of the test to be used in acute clinical settings as a marker of infectiousness, by determining the sensitivity at different real-time PCR cycle threshold (Ct) levels, as well as the quantity of absorbed viral RNA n

AimTo characterize the intracanal microbiota and identify key microbial taxa and functional pathways associated with regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) outcomes.MethodologyIn this observational cohort study, 196 samples were collected at five time points from external tooth surfaces (T1, T4) and root canals (T2, T3, T5). The V3–V4 hypervariable region of 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequen
