Analyzing kinetic experiments on protein aggregation using integrated rate laws has led to numerous advances in our understanding of the fundamental chemical mechanisms behind amyloidogenic disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. However, the description of biologically relevant processes may require rate equations that are too complex to solve using existing methods, hindering mec
The establishment of innovation ecosystems has become an increasingly prevalent strategy for fostering territorial, economic and social development. However, the existing literature provides limited insights into the strategic conditions that enable the emergence of such ecosystems. This paper addresses this gap by identifying the critical elements and mechanisms underpinning their creation. Speci
Rapporten sammanfattar fjärilsinventeringar utförda 2024 inom Biogeografisk uppföljning som drivs av Naturvårdsverket. I fjällområdet inventerades totalt 35 ytor. Sammanlagt noterades 33 högnordiska blåvingar på 11 av 16 inventerade ytor, 36 dvärgpärlemorfjärilar på 12 av 18 ytor och 13 fjällsilversmygare på 4 inventerade ytor. Svartfläckig blåvinge observerades på 26 av 49 inventerade lokaler. To
Winter is a critical bottleneck period for many insects and is particularly pivotal for pest species, being a major regulator of their populations. In winter, insect fruit pests such as the invasive fly, Drosophila suzukii, not only have to cope with harsh environmental conditions but also need to find alternative resources when cultivated fruit are scarce. This study aimed to disentangle the rela
Building materials account for a high percentage of the non-land cost of self-help housing. Few studies, however, have examined the use of building materials by self-help builders and the practicalities of producing and distributing the materials in an alternative manner. This paper discusses the nature of construction by self-help in the intermediate-sized Colombian city of Pereira, focusing in p
The current framing of AI-driven technologies situates them as solutions to a looming care crisis. However, this overlooks informal caregivers' key role to current State budgetary deficits impacting healthcare services happening in Europe. As States increasingly rely on informal caregivers to provide care before the necessary involvement of healthcare services, there is already well-established re
Refugees drown, are beaten, and are pushed back at the borders of the states of the Global North. Moral outrage is understandable in the face of such treatment. But does it constitute a good political theory? Can morality supply us with good normative arguments for a political world? In this article, I argue that they cannot. Drawing on political realism, I show why moral arguments for admitting r
In fixed-bed reactors, the use of large particles in thermally thick regimes is common, which underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of intraparticle processes. However, integrating detailed particle models into fixed-bed simulations is computationally expensive. This study introduces a tabulation method for biomass conversion’s drying and pyrolysis stages, where significant mass e
Lignins are a polymeric, renewable resource with remarkable structural diversity. Research is being conducted into the valorisation of lignins into value-added products. The absence of experimental libraries, in particular for process-modified oligomers, hampers analytical feedback to these valorisation efforts. Stochastic methods for generating libraries in-silico have been proposed, but were not
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Beskrivning och kartläggning av vegetationen samt tolkning av jord, klimat och annan information är mycket viktigt för förståelse och planering för användande av naturresurser. Fenologi dvs växters årliga variationer, är nära korrelerad med dynamiken i atmosfären. Information om vegetationens fenologi på regional och global nivå är därför en viktigt komponent föVegetation phenology (seasonal rhythm) is closely related to seasonal dynamics in the lower atmosphere and is therefore an important element in global climatic models and vegetation monitoring. Remote sensing is the primary means by which we can observe the dynamic characters of the earth's biosphere. Description and mapping of the natural vegetation, and its interpretation in terms of soil, c
By using data from Ecovision on the DJ AIG commodity index made up of commodity futures and the OMX index consisting of Swedish equities I have estimated the correlation between Swedish equities and US commodity futures. The correlation has been examined in a multivariate GARCH setting by using the BEKK model. The purpose has been to examine if commodity futures from a US exchange market can impro
This is a poster presentation of the project RIGHydro for the MissionGreenFuels Annual Meeting 2025. The project RIGHydro is funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark.The Project "Regulatory Innovation to Incentivize Green Hydrogen" (RIGHydro) aims to contribute to the deployment of green hydrogen as a key component of the green transition in Denmark, the EU and beyond. Through an analysis of the late
Context. The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization at distances from the Solar System far greater than thermally equilibrated terrestrial exoplanets, offering observational opportunities for unique insights into the origin of secondary atmospheres and the near surface conditions of
This manuscript reports the results of an international consensus on technologies of hyperthermic intraperitoneal perioperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) performed with the following goals: To provide recommendations for the technological parameters to perform HIPEC. To identify the role of heat and its application forms in treating peritoneal metastases. To provide recommendations regarding the correc
BACKGROUND: Previous studies of glucagon stimulation test (GST) in children have shown variable results regarding the utility and reliability of the cortisol response to this test and its correlation with clinical parameters. The aim of this study was to assess cortisol levels at GST and to evaluate how clinical parameters, such as age, sex, pubertal status and Body Mass Index (BMI), correlate to
The curve number (CN) method, developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), is one of the most widely used approaches worldwide to estimate runoff from rainfall events. However, one of the remaining uncertainties in the method remains whether to apply a frequency-matched or natural data approach for computing the CN from rainfall-runoff data. To address this knowledge gap, this s
Amyloid-β (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are now established tools in the diagnostic workup of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and their use is anticipated to increase with the introduction of new disease-modifying therapies. Although these biomarkers are comparable alternatives in research settings to determine Aβ status, biomarker
