Process-based biosphere models, which formulate biophysical ecosystem processes, provide a mechanistic framework for understanding terrestrial carbon dynamics. In contrast, data-driven approaches, e.g., upscaling eddy covariance (EC) fluxes using satellite observations and machine learning, offer empirical estimates. These complementary methods often diverge significantly, particularly in estimati
Purpose: The study aimed to describe patients’ experiences of physical, psychological, social, and existential symptoms and challenges during the first year after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Methods: Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analysed with descriptive methods as part of a large retrospective cross-sectional online survey of patients who und
Background: Quantitative fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is widely used for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, with substantial variation in positivity thresholds across countries. This study examines how these thresholds affect FIT's diagnostic performance for detecting CRC and advanced precancerous lesions (APCL). Methods: We analyzed data from a single round screening of 7398 men and women aged
It is intuitive and well known, that if agents in a multi-agent system iteratively update their states in the Euclidean space as convex combinations of neighbors’ states, all states eventually converge to the same value (consensus), provided the interaction graph is sufficiently connected. However, this seems to be also true in practice if the convex combinations of states are mapped or radially p
Objectives: – To evaluate the prevalence of mood disorder symptoms and measure the quality of life in women with vulvar dermatoses attending a specialized vulvar clinic in southern Sweden. Materials and Methods: – A questionnaire-based study among consecutive women attending the vulvar unit at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at Skåne University Hospital. Sociodemographic factors were
Bladder cancer is a fast-moving and recurrent malignancy where survival hinges on early detection and precise risk stratification. The search for robust biomarkers is urgent, and CD44v6 has emerged as a compelling candidate. In this study, we explored the clinical and functional associations of CD44v6 expression in bladder cancer. Integrated analyses of patient samples and cell lines showed that h
Using historical DNA (hDNA) from herbarium material, we reconstructed two centuries of population‐genetic change in the critically endangered Swedish field maple (Acer campestre). We genotyped 148 herbarium specimens collected from 1820 to 2020 with 12 nuclear microsatellite loci and plastid haplotypes, and compared them with contemporary Swedish and continental reference data. Expected heterozygo
We investigate the temperature-dependent complex dielectric function of bulk single-crystal In2O3 over the spectral range of 1–6 eV and temperatures from room temperature to 600 °C under high-vacuum conditions using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The dielectric function was modeled using wavelength-by-wavelength and critical-point model dielectric function analyses. The dielectric function ex
Background: Violent Crime Convicted Persons (VCCPs) are at increased risk of somatic health problems over the life course. However, the topic remains insufficiently studied, particularly regarding interactions with healthcare services in high-risk groups over extended periods. This prospective study aimed to explore adverse somatic outcomes in young adult VCCPs with a history of imprisonment and t
opulation ageing is increasing the demand for long-term care services across high-income countries, a trend which will continue as populations over 80 years old increase in size. Unpaid caregivers are often the main source of long-term care services for ageing, sick and disabled adults. Their time provides an important service to recipients while offsetting substantial costs to health care systems
Let Hd2 be the Drury–Arveson space, and let f∈Hd2 have bounded argument and no zeros in Bd. We show that f is cyclic in Hd2 if and only if logf belongs to the Pick-Smirnov class N+(Hd2). Furthermore, for non-vanishing functions f∈Hd2 with bounded argument and H∞-norm less than 1, cyclicity can also be tested via iterated logarithms. For example, we show that f is cyclic if and only if log(1+log(1∕
Despite the recent surge of wind and solar power, both technologies need to accelerate to meet climate goals. Yet, there are no robust methods to assess the likelihood of such acceleration. Here we show that renewable energy deployment follows a recurring pattern across countries with prolonged periods of relatively steady growth punctuated by growth pulses. Based on this insight and on observed g
Authors as laborers and capitalists. Political self publishing in 1970s Sweden.From the late 1960s and onwards, many Swedish authors started questioning the publishing industry. The relationship between author and publisher was increasingly interpreted as a relationship between wage-laborer and capitalist. As a consequence, initatives to help authors publish without a traditional publisher were la
Single motherhood has long been a feature of European family systems, but its meaning and determinants have changed substantially over time. Using longitudinal individual-level data from the Scanian Economic and Demographic Database (SEDD), covering southern Sweden between 1905 and 2015, we examine the changing demography of single motherhood from a long-term life course perspective. We analyze ho
This paper evaluates the multi-service operation of a heterogeneous second-life battery energy storage system (ESS) participating in the day-ahead electricity market and frequency containment reserves (FCR-N, FCR-D Up, FCR-D Down). A rolling horizon mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is developed to co-optimize market revenues, power schedule, and degradation, using linearized calendar and cy
Demonstration of a nontrivial result of quasiparticle exchange (or braiding) is usually considered the definitive proof of a topological phase with non-Abelian excitations, such as Majorana bound states (MBSs). However, in finite systems with disorder and smooth potential variations, the MBSs are imperfect in the sense that they are not fully isolated in space and can, to a varying degree, resembl
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are crucial for cardiovascular health. HDL dysfunction is strongly linked to atherosclerosis and other diseases. Although HDL is often treated as a single entity, it comprises a spectrum of subfractions differing in size, structure, and composition. Understanding the ultrastructure and function of these subfractions is essential for uncovering the molecular mechanis
