Science is a gigantic network of search for knowledge, where researchers set up and test hypotheses, and the results are made available to other researchers, mainly through publications. The outcome of the subsequent discussion defines the current standing of scientific knowledge.
Background and objective: We present a summary of the 2025 update for the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). The aim is to provide practical recommendations on the clinical management of UTUC with a focus on diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Methods: For the 2025 guidelines on UTUC, new and relevant evidence was identified, coll
Background and objective: The European Association of Urology (EAU) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) guideline panel has updated their evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for the management of RCC. Here we present a summary of the 2025 RCC guidelines updated with standardised methodology to provide reproducible evidence for the management of RCC. Methods: For the 2025 update, a literature sear
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases globally. Despite extensive research, many aspects of M. tuberculosis pathogenesis and host immune responses remain unclear, complicating the development of effective treatments. Animal models are crucial for studying these interactions, and Mycobacterium marinum infection in mice serves a valuable
Multimedia environments consist of verbal and visual representations that, if appropriately processed, allow for the construction of an integrated mental model of the content. Whereas much is known on how students learn from verbal representations, there are fewer insights regarding the processing of visual information, alone or in conjunction with text. This chapter uses a semiotics approach to p
Road Safety Inspection (RSI) and Road Assessment Programme (RAP) are specific tools in the framework of Road Infrastructure Safety Management. Other tools are Black-spot Management, Network Safety Management, Road Safety Impact Assessment and Road Safety Audit. This chapter is devoted to RSI and RAP.
Serial dependence (SD) occurs when current perceptions are biased towards sensory input from the recent past. The present study investigated whether interindividual differences in working memory (WM) could predict SD in facial identity perception. Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to capture early perceptual face processing (N170) and WM processing (frontal negative slow waves) in a combined W
Handboken har som målsättning att bidra till att förvalta en värdefull del av det svenska byggnadsbeståndet. Rationellt valda underhålls- och reparationsåtgärder sparar resurser, till gagn för miljö och klimat.
Abstract: Serial dependence (SD) refers to the influence of a recent stimulus on a person’s perceptual judgement of a current stimulus. SD has been found to arise for a wide variety of objects and features, including faces. Perceptual and mnemonic processes, along with response and decisional biases, are thought to contribute to SD effects. Here, two experimental studies are reported examining the
Are marketers, the proponenst for continuous economic growth, the ultimate climate criminals? So far, their job has been to create unnecessary demand and to promote the overconsumption and waste that threatens our very existence on this planet. In this book however, the authors explore the potential of marketing to do the opposite–that is to help create a more ecologically sustainable future. This
Chrysene-containing polymers functionalized with piperidinium- and quinuclidinium cations, respectively, are prepared by polyhydroxyalkylation and studied as anion exchange membranes (AEMs). Experimental results, supported by theoretical considerations, indicate that the chrysene units significantly enhance alkaline stability; a poly(chrysene piperidinium) AEM shows only 16% total ionic loss, comp
Aim: This study investigated how human activities and local environmental variables shape tree assemblages (species composition in a defined location), comparing their effects on edible and inedible tree species. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Environmental filtering impacts spatial beta-diversity more than dispersal limitation; (2) human activities significantly influence regional tree beta-di
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to explore long-term behavioral consequences of early versus delayed cord clamping (CC) in school-aged children. The hypothesis was that early CC would be associated with an increased risk of symptoms associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) due to the lower iron stores following early CC compared with delayed CC.METHODS: Exploratory,
Wood's flammability, low dimensional stability, and poor fungal resistance limit its application. In this study, Scots pine sapwood (Pinus sylvestris L.) was treated with a low-molecular-weight phenol–formaldehyde (PF) resin and a monoguanidine phosphate flame retardant (FR) to achieve multifunctional enhancement. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed no interference of FR with PF curing, wh
