Carbon farming is increasingly promoted as a strategy to achieve net-zero climate targets. This paper examines voluntary carbon market programmes through a global inventory and discourse analysis to identify key actors and how they frame and implement carbon farming. Findings show that agri-chemical firms, agri-tech companies, and new carbon farming startups mainly target large-scale farmers in th
This study protocol outlines the test evaluation of the design of a comprehensive Nordic hospital at home (HaH) digital education program entitled “the Nordic Digital Health and Education” program (NorDigHE). The NorDigHE program aims to prepare healthcare professionals for healthcare provision in a HaH context. The program, developed by a Nordic consortium, spans five modules over 3.5 weeks of fu
ObjectiveAs part of our research on Swedish school principals, we examined the occurrence and co-occurrence of conflicts and five negative acts (i.e. harassment, sexual harassment, threats of violence or physical harm, physical violence, bullying), their attributed sources, and their associations with self-rated health, workability, and general life satisfaction among 2670 principals.ResultsDuring
Purpose: Children with delayed reconstruction of esophageal atresia (DREA) have a high risk of morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of feeding difficulties in children with DREA, differences to children with primary anastomosis (PA) and identify risk factors for feeding difficulties in children with DREA. Methods: Parents of 30 children with DREA, born 2001–2018, were r
Variation enables short-term evolution (microevolution), but its role in long-term evolution (macroevolution) is debated. Here, we analyzed a dataset of Drosophila wing variation across six levels of biological organization to demonstrate that microevolutionary variation and macroevolutionary divergence are positively correlated at all levels from variation within an individual to macroevolution o
Recognizing individual variability is essential for developing targeted, personalized medical interventions. Vocal fatigue is a prevalent symptom and complaint among occupational voice users, but its identification has yielded mixed results. Vocal fatigue is a complex issue with heterogeneous biophysiological responses to vocal demands among individuals. This research aims to classify individuals
The peptide Ac-KGSFSIQYTYHVD-CONH₂ (KD), derived from residues 37–49 of human semenogelin I, forms a pH-responsive hydrogel in an aqueous environment with tunable mechanical properties that evolve over time. We hypothesize that KD self-assembles into a hydrogel through a pH-dependent mechanism involving predominantly a change in histidine protonation state, leading to structural transformations th
This thematic issue explores the complex and often controversial intersection of foster care and financial compensation. While foster care is often seen as a more inclusive and family‐oriented alternative to institutional care, the role of money in caregiving remains morally and socially sensitive. Drawing on sociological theories, particularly Viviana Zelizer’s concept of “hostile worlds,” the ar
The building sector accounts for a significant portion of global final energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating the need to find low-carbon alternatives to new construction. Adaptive reuse offers a sustainable alternative to new construction, yet early-stage assessments of reuse potential often rely on surface-level metrics, failing to consider a building's internal spatial logic. Th
The international humanitarian system has, since the 19th century, been activated during large-scale disasters when the capacities of the affected countries are overwhelmed. It comprises international humanitarian organizations (IHOs) and is funded by a variety of donors. Recently, this system has faced increasing criticism, mainly because of its failure to empower and include local and national a
Agentic AI — the new paradigm for creating autonomous systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, learning, and acting towards goals using large language models (LLMs) with minimal human oversight — offers transformative potential but also poses systemic risks that the EU AI Act only partially addresses. These agents can evolve unpredictably, interact with other agents, and operate beyond meaningful
Pregnancy and lactation require large amounts of calcium potentially depleting the young adult bone. This study investigated BMD and fluctuations of BMD resulting from parity and lactation in the PEAK-25 cohort, a prospective observational study of women all aged 25 at inclusion and 35 at follow-up. The analyses use women who were nulliparous at baseline and parous (n = 573) or nulliparous (n = 17
Logistikföreningen PLAN arrangerar tillsammans med Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) den tjugofjärde forsknings- och tillämpningskonferensen den 22–23 oktober 2025.Årets konferens hålls i M-huset på LTH i Lund – en plats där forskning, utbildning och innovation möts i en miljö präglad av samverkan mellan akademi, näringsliv och offentlig sektor. LTH är en plats för nyfikenhet, upptäckter och utvecklin
Food waste represents major environmental, social, and economic challenges worldwide, with fresh fruit and vegetables accounting for a substantial share. This study quantifies post-harvest waste for five products, i.e. avocados, bananas, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers, across 31 European countries (European Union member states plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom) and exami
Pathogenic bacterial infections lead to bacterial resistance and biofilm formation, causing significant suffering and presenting an urgent issue to be addressed. Polymer materials have garnered considerable attention in the antibacterial field due to their functional moldability and molecular structure designability. These materials can achieve various antibacterial functions by regulating their m
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance via the olfactory pathway is well-documented in animal models. However, results from in vivo human studies appear inconsistent. Studies using intrathecal (IT) Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) enhanced MRI showed minimal tracer pass-through from intracranial to extracranial olfactory regions such as the nasal mucosa. Conversely, human imaging s
