We present a numerical scheme for the solution of the initial-value problem for the “bad” Boussinesq equation. The accuracy of the scheme is tested by comparison with exact soliton solutions as well as with recently obtained asymptotic formulas for the solution.
PurposeIn the age of digital businesses, the rise of innovative digital transformation has made supply chain transparency (SCT) an essential research topic. While digital technologies provide possibilities for enhancing transparency in supply chains, there is limited research on how digital businesses overcome different SCT issues or provide real-time visibility and traceability. This study aims t
The European Society for Clinical Evaluation of Balance Disorders (ESCEBD), based in Nancy, France, has been meeting yearly since 2005 to discuss equilibrium-related themes that are not yet clearly defined or standardized. One of our latest discussions was with regard to outlining strategies of internal and external compensation that may be used to cope with balance disorders. A Committee was elec
Compact automated warehouse solutions are a challenge for conventional fire protection systems, such as sprinklers. As an option to sprinkler systems some warehouses employ an Oxygen Reduction System (ORS). When designing an ORS, the most important parameter is the limiting oxygen concentration (LOC). The level of protection attained is directly proportional to the oxygen level applied, which is a
In May 2024 with a subsequent update in June 2025, the Swedish Medical Products Agency’s expert group revised guidelines on the management and treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. This is an abridged version and commentary on the full recommendation including specific recommendations for the RSV-season 2025/2026. Key points are: (i) RSV is a seasonal, highly contagious infecti
Continuous-flow fixed-bed reactors effectively bridge laboratory research and industrial production. As the key component, the catalyst module must demonstrate high catalytic activity and rapid reactant distribution to maximize the catalytic turnover. Herein, a facile strategy is proposed to fabricate a microfibrous catalyst by decorating Cu single atoms (Cu1) on composite microfiber (CMF) made fr
Decision biases reinforce firms’ tendency to develop innovations based on narrow economic motivations. Consequently, sustainability-oriented ideas explicitly targeting social and environmental issues are easily discarded in idea selection when trade-offs between economic and sustainability values are faced. Given the so far limited knowledge about how sustainability-oriented ideas are developed an
The purpose of the present paper is to describe and discuss the concept of hunter mode, as introduced by Meidell (2022) in her autobiographical description of anorexia nervosa. Hunter mode is a sought-after state that is reached through self-starvation and that transforms a person’s experiences into a crystal-clearperception and a sense of vitality. Although partly touched upon already by Hilde BrThe purpose of the present paper is to describe and discuss the concept of hunter mode, as introduced by Meidell (2022) in her autobiographical description of anorexia nervosa.

Background The nomenclature and execution of peritonectomy procedures for peritoneal surface malignancies significantly vary between surgeons and centres. The aim of this consensus was to reach uniform nomenclature for peritonectomy procedures, to define subregions of each peritonectomy procedure, and to define boundaries of each subregion. Methods The modified Delphi technique was employed. A gro
Nomenclature for the disease widely known as Sjögren syndrome has proven unsatisfactory. Patients have perceived ‘syndrome’ as indicative of a vague collection of symptoms, prompting the Sjögren’s Foundation to abandon the term. Furthermore, the traditional distinction between ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ forms fails to account for the complex interplay between overlapping autoimmune diseases. Follow
This special issue introduction explores dialogic organizing centred on affirming public engagement for hope and solidarity. We propose ways of retheorizing and revitalizing dialogic perspectives and practices. In so doing we take our cue a Bakhtinian understanding of dialogue; however, we suggest that it is necessary to move beyond this foundational understanding. Instead, it needs to be read in
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to determine the role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) on the microvasculature and on angiogenetic gene expression after partial hepatectomy (PH) in the rat model.METHODS: To determine the effect of exogenous and endogenous VEGF after PH, rats were subjected to 70% PH and treated either with VEGF, anti-VEGF or NaCl. Postoperatively (3-168 h), vessel
The HIBEAM-NNBAR program is a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source focusing on searches for baryon number violation processes as well as ultralight dark matter. This paper presents recent advancements in computing and simulation, including machine learning for event selection, fast parametric simulations for detector studies, and detailed modeling of the time projection
We report 23 lichenicolous fungi new to Sweden, among these, one is new to Europe, 21 are new to Fennoscandia, and two are newly reported for Norway. This article focuses only on mitosporic fungi. The newly reported species are Acremonium pertusariae, Cladophialophora dimorphospora, Cladosporium licheniphilum, Corynespora laevistipitata, Didymocyrtis cladoniicola, D. grumantiana, Ellisembia lichen
Membrane technology plays a crucial role in food by-product valorization, especially in protein recovery. Initially applied to whey protein extraction from cheese production, it enabled the concentration and purification of whey, leading to the production of protein concentrates and isolates. This success was extended to other animal proteins like blood plasma, fish proteins, and albumen.With a gr
IntroductionGlobal water scarcity necessitates innovative approaches to water treatment. Membrane technology has emerged as a key solution, demonstrating its effectiveness across a range of applications, from seawater desalination using reverse osmosis to wastewater treatment with membrane bioreactors. This presentation will introduce three novel water treatment concepts based on membrane technolo
Sustainable access to effective antibiotics is a main rationale for addressing antimicrobial resistance, for calls to enhance antibiotic supply security and for development support to promote health system capacity in low- and middle-income settings. Standard models for valuing pharmaceuticals fail to capture the full value of sustainable access to effective antibiotics. In effect, assessments of
The rate of change in adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), in which a population of microorganisms is continuously cultivated under a specific selective pressure, is controlled by the cellular mutagenesis rate and the randomness of where in the genetic material mutations are introduced. The constant selection pressure makes it a crucial, yet slow, method in developing microorganisms with novel phe
Post-extrusion flow dynamics of soft matter are governed by their elasto-viscoplastic (EVP) rheological properties, which influence filament stability, die swelling, and shape fidelity in extrusion-based 3D printing. Achieving precision and control in printed structures requires optimizing yield stress, viscoelasticity, and extrusion pressure to minimize excessive die swelling and material spreadi
