Biological treatment of cyanide-contaminated wastewater is mediated by microbial consortia in which different organisms perform distinct, functionally specialized roles. This study investigated microbial communities involved in gold mine wastewater treatment with integrated aerobic-anoxic reactors seeded with consortia from an alkaline soda lake, Lake Chitu. Whole-genome sequencing of isolates (WG
Unlike the sun, the moon is a notoriously fickle visual cue for navigation. However, a nocturnal ant has now been found to use the moon for navigation during night-long foraging trips, compensating for its movement across the sky to maintain navigational accuracy.
Background: Progressive respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Histopathological findings in acute severe COVID-19 are foremost based on post-mortem findings. On computed tomography (CT), acute COVID-19 pneumonia is characterized by ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and, later, by a crazy-paving pattern (CPP) and consolidations. Purpose: To investigate if C

This study systematically examines how spatial resolution, operationalized as grid cell size, influences the predictive performance of Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) across 32 Swedish urban areas with varying demographic and criminogenic characteristics. Using performance metrics such as the Predictive Accuracy Index (PAI), Predictive Efficiency Index (PEI*), and the F1-score, the analysis explores h
Many powder X-ray diffraction, total scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments at synchrotron facilities yield azimuthally integrated intensity data, yet current practice relies on facility-specific data formats that hinder inter-operability and reuse. We propose a standardized HDF5-based format within the NeXus convention (NXazint), designed to store 1D and 2D integrated data along
OBJECTIVE: Fatigue is a common and debilitating non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), arising from a complex interplaying underlying factors. While mental health and sleep are well-established evidence regarding motor symptoms, balance, gait, and cognition remain inconsistent. By explicitly examining multiple symptom domains within the same cohort, we aimed to identify which factors are m
Freshwater ecosystems in the central Andes provide critical ecosystem services (ES), including water purification, baseflow regulation, groundwater recharge, and cultural and recreational benefits. However, these high-mountain systems are increasingly threatened by changing land use, climate variability, and accelerating pressure on water resources. Understanding local willingness to pay for conse
Biological communities are complex, dynamic systems that underpin ecosystem functionality, yet their long-term dynamics and predictability remain poorly understood. Understanding how Darwinian evolution shapes these systems through eco-evolutionary feedback is a central challenge in ecology and evolution. Experimental studies using simplified microbial assemblages have yielded important insights i
Agricultural production systems are under pressure to contribute to climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and resilient food production. This calls for multifunctional strategies, potentially including integrated biomass production in intensively farmed landscapes to generate renewable energy and positive environmental impacts as co-benefits. Despite this, broader implications of large-sc
Waste sorting signs present an inviting avenue for comparison of categorisation theories as they often contain both a rule and either an abstract prototype or visual exemplars. Focus in waste sorting studies is often on increasing the number of waste fractions, but some public settings might require fewer-than-ordinary fractions. This paper investigates two approaches to reducing a waste sorting s
This study examines the use of directives in Swedish Physical Educa-tion and Health classes, focusing on their application for native Swedish speakers and newly arrived second language learners. It investigates the types of directives used and how they differ when addressing L1 versus L2 students, as well as how teachers utilize directives to simultaneously instruct physical activities and teach s
This article argues for a coalitional and comparative public theology as a new approach to the study of Global Christianity. This theology analyzes and assesses practices of living together in postmigrant societies. The article takes the shift from diverse migrant societies to superdiverse postmigrant societies that shapes many cities across Europe as a point of departure to scrutinize the role of
Migration is stirring up controversy across Europe. Politicians and pundits point to clashes that flare up--or so the story goes--when people of different religious and nonreligious ways of life come together. This book challenges that story. Setting an experimental and explorative agenda, it brings together activist and academic voices affiliated with A World of Neighbours, a multi-faith network
Wildfires pose hazards for humans through fire proximity and smoke exposure, and are expected to pose increasing risks due to climate change. Existing literature has not extensively inquired how wildfires affect short-term mobility as an adaptive response to these events. We use digital trace mobility data from the Spanish Ministry of Transportation to examine how proximity to wildfires and conseq
