Whilst the importance of fungal primary biological aerosol particles (PBAPs) has been recognised, few studies have empirically assessed how land-use patterns influence them. Here, we show the impacts of different land-use patterns on fungal PBAPs within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot. Spanning a distance of ca. 600 km within this biome, we collected fungal bioaerosols in the fo

Purpose: Hexokinase 1 (HK1) encodes a ubiquitously expressed hexokinase, which is responsible for the first step of glycolysis, phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Both autosomal recessive and dominant variants in this gene have previously been shown to cause human disease, and presently, there are clinical data available for 27 individuals with the monoallelic neurodevelopmental di

What makes a place meaningful to a community, and what happens to those meanings when the city changes? This thesis investigates architecture's role as both keeper and creator of collective memory in urban environments. Building on sociological theories, this research explores how memories are stored in the built environment, not as static entities but continuously formed, repeated, and trans

All together now: discover how the collective behaviour of atoms, humans, and birds inspire researchers to make new light-emitting materials and devices.

Background: Dronedarone and sotalol are antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) recommended in similar populations per atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines; however, comparative safety data are limited. Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the safety of dronedarone vs sotalol for treatment of AF in AAD-naive patients. Methods: This was a prespecified noninterventional meta-analysis of 4 retrospecti

We investigate differences in resource utilization between a multiprofessional team-based primary care practice and standard care for elderly patients with complex needs, from the perspective of different actors involved in healthcare delivery. The study is based on a mobile care team reform in a Swedish region, that spans across both organisational boundaries and different legislation. Our findin

Multichannel electroencephalography (EEG)-based drowsiness detection (DD) offers higher coverage but comes with increased computational demands, hardware requirements, and user discomfort, whereas single-channel devices are cost-effective and user-friendly but provide lower coverage. We hypothesized that an optimal channel with optimum paired EEG features could achieve coverage comparable to a mul

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can manipulate the electromagnetic (EM) waves in wireless channels and thus is promising for the sixth generation wireless communication systems. However, there exists little research on RIS channel measurements, which are important for the communication system design. In this paper, channel measurements are carried out in anechoic chamber, outdoor, and ind

This chapter is an introduction to the work of Simona Iammarino, Professor of Economic Geography at the London School of Economics. Due to her prolific research track record, it necessarily picks and chooses certain elements of her work that were deemed central to the recent evolution of the economic geography field broadly speaking. As an interdisciplinary academic, with a varied experience of wo

Class 1 phytoglobins (Pgbs) are known for their multifunctional roles in plant stress responses, with recent studies suggesting broader interactions involving metabolic and transcriptional regulation. Interestingly, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) moonlights in many roles in colocalized spaces during cellular stress that are strikingly suitable for supporting Pgb function. Thi

Vi undersöker effekter på vetenskaplig produktion efter att Karlstad, Växjö och Örebro blev universitet 1999. Vi finner starka effekter på publikationsaktivitet bland den personal som var anställd, jämfört med likvärdig personal vid högsko-lor som inte fick universitetsstatus. Resultaten var koncentrerade till de som var registrerade som forskare före omvandlingen, bland män och starkast inom tekn

Tissue engineering strategies predominantly rely on the production of living substitutes, whereby implanted cells actively participate in the regenerative process. Beyond cost and delayed graft availability, the patient-specific performance of engineered tissues poses serious concerns on their clinical translation ability. A more exciting paradigm consists in exploiting cell-laid, engineered extra

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a clinical diagnosis characterized by the presence of left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction unexplained by abnormal loading conditions or coronary artery disease. However, a broad range of phenotypic manifestations, encompassing isolated scar, DCM with preserved ejection fraction, and overt DCM, should be regarded as a diagnostic classification repres

Informal carers in paid work are known as working carers (WKCs). This combination of care and work is particular to them, and their support needs may differ from other informal carers. This exploratory study describes the caregiving-related factors associated with experiencing caregiving as demanding and a decreased ability to work in WKCs. The Swedish National Carer Survey was conducted in a stra

The relationship between sustainability and conflict is complex and often hard to define, yet the consequences of interaction can be catastrophic. Unsustainable practices and their consequences for the environment can contribute to conflict. War—and the energy and resource costs of preparing for war—can also have terrible impacts on the environment. In this Voices, we ask how sustainability and en

With the introduction of its Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in 2014, Sweden cemented its position as a normative leader on gender equality. In 2022, however, the new government rescinded the FFP. Based on interviews with EU Member State officials, we analyze how they perceive Sweden’s work with gender equality during as well as post FFP. Our results demonstrate that Sweden’s FFP was in general posi

This article seeks to contribute to understanding the practical “how” of a just climate transition as a systemic change with a focus on the local level. With the backdrop of the central role of municipalities in terms of governance in achieving climate transition while also fulfilling societal functions, it explores cases of eco-social innovations (ESI) of circular practices, with a specific inter

Purpose: Positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly used in neuro-oncology. However, little is known about its application across European institutions and reasons for variable implementation. Methods: Between June and August 2024, members of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Brain Tumour Group (EORTC-BTG) completed a cross-sectional online survey on PET use
