Seasonality is a core aspect of life in West African artisanal fishing communities, with fisherfolk having long adapted to bumper and lean fishing seasons. In an attempt to tackle dwindling fish stocks, however, the Government of Ghana introduced a month-long closed fishing season. This paper explores the ways in which fishing communities, which are accustomed to seasonal change, make sense of and

This chapter examines the localized ambivalence surrounding the use of race in contemporary biomedicine: how race is constructed as both valid/relevant and invalid/irrelevant in a specific national setting. It is based on interviews with twenty-six expert professionals in Sweden who are directly or indirectly involved in clinical pharmaceutical research, including clinical researchers, research nu

Drought and the condition of water scarcity lead to several socio-economic, social and environmental impacts. Whatever the approaches of drought management, policymakers and planners require novel methods to analyze data and model drought processes and its connection with water scarcity. In recent years, artificial intelligence-based and earth observation approaches have been progressively d

For this project, machine learning and cutting-edge remote sensing technologies are used to create a geospatial mapping and monitoring system for agricultural pest and disease outbreaks. By combining satellite data, unmanned aerial vehicle hyperspectral evaluation, and environmental factors, the system can identify the spread of pests and diseases in real time. Data evaluation and outbreak predict

Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is a gut-derived hormone of the neuropeptide Y family that regulates appetite, gastrointestinal motility, and energy homeostasis through activation of the neuropeptide Y4 receptor (Y4R). With the rising prevalence of obesity, understanding the molecular pharmacology and structure-function relationships of PP-Y4R interactions is essential for the development of novel ant

Denna studie undersöker förtätningsprojektet DrottningH i Helsingborg Stad med fokus på social hållbarhet i området. DrottningH är ursprungligen ett miljonprogramsområde från 1960-talet som sedan 2012 genomgår ett omfattande omvandlingsprojekt. Projektet syftade till att fördubbla antalet bostäder från cirka 1 100 till 2 200 samtidigt som det arbetas med sociala och värdefulla insatser, detta framUrban densification is increasingly being used as a strategy to meet the housing demand in growing cities while minimizing land exploitation. This bachelor thesis examines the development project “DrottningH” in Helsingborg City, one of Sweden’s first so called million program areas. The aim is to investigate whether the ongoing densification has contributed to social sustainability by analyzing a

The updated Consolidated Health Economics Evaluation Reporting Standards, CHEERS 2022, is considered the most comprehensive publication to assess reporting quality of economic evaluations (EEs) incorporating criteria of trial- and model-based studies, including emerging methods. However, it holds multiple criteria per item without clear decision rules on minimum requirements for complete reporting

Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis delta virus (HDV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) remain leading drivers of chronic viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver-related mortality. This ESCMID Study Group for Viral Hepatitis (ESGVH) narrative review summarizes recent advances and expert perspectives in the field. For HBV, emerging biomarkers such as quantitative HBs antigen, HBV

BACKGROUND: – The clinical use of risk scores to guide treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes has rarely been prospectively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate whether a biomarker-based ABC-AF risk score–guided multidimensional treatment strategy improves long-term outcomes in patients with AF. METHODS: – The multicenter, registry-based, randomized, controlled, open-label study enro

Based on material collected with sweep nets, malaise traps and through rearing, the knowledge of the Swedish Chalcidoidea fauna is enhanced by new data on taxa occurring here, including new information on the biology for some of the species. Taxa reported as new to Sweden include one family (Neodiparidae), one genus (Neodipara Erdös) and 33 species in six families: Encyrtidae: Homalotylus platynas

Parasitic freshwater mussels are endangered ecosystem engineers with an array of impacts on multiple trophic levels and life stages. While the impacts of adult mussels on separate trophic levels have been studied, few have directly tested how adult mussels can impact trophic interactions, or investigated the impacts of the parasitic mussel larvae (glochidia) on such interactions. We present a labo

Although the moth fauna of South Sweden is relatively well known, information about the habitat preferences of species is scarce. To fill this gap and document the relative richness and conservation value of different habitats, 32,683 moth were caught in light traps at >200 sites in Central Skåne (prov. Scania). The relative frequency of species, major taxonomic groups and species with different f

Aim: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common and significant complication after voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) but the reported incidence in children varies highly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the rate and possible risk factors for UTIs after VCUG. Method: A multicentre retrospective cohort study of children < 15 years of age undergoing VCUG between 2017 and 2022 w

Time-of-flight neutron transmission and diffraction measurements were performed on four solid beryllium metal grades using the HIPPO neutron time-of-flight diffractometer equipped with an energy-resolved neutron imaging detector at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Analysis of the extracted total neutron cross sections from the transmission measurements revealed a reduction in the coherent elastic s

Galectin-3 (Gal3) is a multifunctional lectin expressed and released by microglia, where it influences diverse processes in both homeostasis and disease. To dissect its intracellular and extracellular roles, we generated Gal3-deficient BV2 microglial cells and systematically assessed how genetic deletion and exogenously added recombinant Gal3 shape microglial physiology. Gal3 deletion increased ce
