Non-Native Bird Populations Respond Differently to Their Environment and Exhibit Shifts in Ecological Niche Limits Across Continents

Aim: The degree to which species' niches remain stable over space and time–the niche conservatism hypothesis–is critical for predicting species' responses to environmental change. Tests of this hypothesis typically focus on changes in niche centroids and boundaries. An outstanding question is whether species' environmental associations differ within the interior of their niche space–that is, acros

The Start of a Plastic Breakdown Journey : Investigating Enzymes for Plastic Breakdown

Plast är ett av våra vanligaste material i vardagen. Som helhet är det ett billigt, slitstarkt och lätt material. Det finns olika typer av plast med olika egenskaper. Gemensamt för alla plaster är dock att de består av (oftast en typ av) molekyler som sitter ihop i långa, repeterande kedjor. Dessa kedjor kallas polymerer. När plast slängs i naturen eller hanteras fel som avfall finns det en risk aAs plastic pollution in aquatic environments persists, gaining a deeper understanding of nanoparticles has become increasingly important. Yet, the question remains: what happens to plastic as it breaks down into smaller components, and ultimately, what end products are formed? Current plastic degradation methods are limited in their environmental applicability and efficiency. This study aims to pr

A Mixed Method Pilot Feasibility Study of a Symptom Management Support Intervention for Heart Transplant Recipients With Chronic Pain and Extensive Symptom Distress

Background: The aim of heart transplantation is prolonged survival and improved quality of life. Chronic pain is a common and distressing symptom after heart transplantation. To our knowledge, there are no person-centred interventions aimed at chronic pain and symptom distress after heart transplantation. The aim was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of systematic, person-centred symptom

Validation of the GPAT - the Global Polypectomy Assessment Tool : European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Position Statement

Background Colorectal polypectomy is operator dependent, with variable rates of complete resection. The currently available assessment tools do not provide specific competency-based evaluation of provider technique. We aimed to validate the Global Polypectomy Assessment Tool (GPAT), a novel competency assessment tool for colorectal polypectomy. Methods GPAT was derived from the ESGE Curriculum for

Potentials for Improving Support and Care to Survivors of Sexual Violence – a Case Study Within a Multiorganizational Setting in Sweden

Introduction: Worldwide, exposure to sexual violence has widespread consequences for survivors’ health and for their communities. There is still insufficient understanding of how to design support and care services for survivors in a multiorganizational context. This study aims to map and explore support and care for survivors of sexual violence from a multiorganizational perspective in Sweden, to

Spermine modulation of Alzheimer’s Tau and Parkinson’s α-synuclein : implications for biomolecular condensation and neurodegeneration

Spermine, a pivotal player in biomolecular condensation and diverse cellular processes, has emerged as a focus of investigation in aging, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. Despite its significance, the mechanistic details of spermine remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe the distinct modulation by spermine on Alzheimer’s Tau and Parkinson’s α-synuclein, elucidating their condensat

The association of self-rated health with physical activity and demographic factors : a study in primary care from Northwest of Iran

Background: Self-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We included data fr

The PARADIGM project II : The lifetimes and quenching of satellites in Milky Way-mass haloes

The abundance and star formation histories of satellites of Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies are linked to their hosts' assembly histories. To explore this connection, we use the PARADIGM suite of zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations of MW-mass haloes, evolving the same initial conditions spanning various halo assembly histories with the VINTERGATAN and IllustrisTNG models. Our VINTERGATAN simulations o

Acknowledging uncertainty in evolutionary reconstructions of ecological niches

Reconstructing ecological niche evolution can provide insight into the biogeography and diversification of evolving lineages. However, comparative phylogenetic methods may infer the history of ecological niche evolution inaccurately because (a) species' niches are often poorly characterized; and (b) phylogenetic comparative methods rely on niche summary statistics rather than full estimates of spe

Ethnographic evaluation of usability, understandability, and acceptance of the MY PD-CARE digital tool to facilitate Parkinson’s disease symptom tracking and patients’ and care partners’ communications with the treating healthcare professional : the SELF-AWARE study

Background and aim: The MY PD-CARE digital tool is intended to empower people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and care partners to actively identify and track changes in key symptoms of advancing PD and to facilitate discussions with healthcare professionals (HCPs). MY PD-CARE was adapted from MANAGE-PD, a validated, web-based tool that helps HCPs identify patients with inadequate symptom control. T
