Entangled photons carry nontrivial quantum correlations that defy classical physics and provide new tools for monitoring quantum dynamics in molecules. The use of low-flux entangled photons in molecular spectroscopy has been proposed in the past to probe excited-state dynamics with enhanced temporal and spectral resolutions. However, these techniques have been challenging to implement experimental
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for RNA delivery, but their efficiency remains limited, largely due to poor endosomal escape. Upon administration, proteins bind to the surface of the LNPs, influencing cellular uptake and potentially altering their interfacial properties. Such alterations may also affect their interaction with endosomal membranes, thus influencing the critical endosomal
This special issue introduces the concept of the “entrepreneurship industry” (EI), a rapidly expanding global sector comprising actors, services, and infrastructures that promote and commodify entrepreneurial activity. Moving beyond traditional demand-side views of entrepreneurship, the issue explores how EI shapes entrepreneurial behavior through cultural norms, institutional structures, and poli
The short-lived apex of journalistic freedom that took place after Perestroika in the late 1980s and early 1990s has been followed by setbacks and stagnation of press freedom, in particular since Putin’s accession to power in 2000. Despite this, qualitative text analysis of commentary articles in some of the most important current Russian news sites strongly indicates that during 2008–2018, reader
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High grade gliomas (HGG) are aggressive brain tumors, most frequently glioblastoma and astrocytoma grade 4. Methylation of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter in HGG is crucial for temozolomide efficacy. As MGMT promoter methylation (MGMTpm) assessment requires tumor tissue, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of interest for non-invasive prediction. We ai
Purpose: Autism, psychosis and catatonia were once considered part of schizophrenia. While both autism and catatonia have been “detached” from schizophrenia, co-occurrence of the three conditions may be suspected in some cases, because of overlapping features, leading to challenges in diagnosis and treatment. This review provides an overview of the literature regarding the co-occurrence of autism,
Supersolids formed from dipolar Bose Einstein condensates (BECs) exhibit spontaneous density modulation while maintaining global phase coherence. This state of matter supports gapped amplitude (Higgs) excitations featuring a quadratic dispersion relation. While Higgs modes are typically strongly damped due to coupling with other amplitude and phase modes, imposing an experimentally realistic toroi
A surge in societal and scientific discussion surrounds psychedelic research. One surprising fact keeps standing out: Many users report the psychedelic experience as a positive and lasting impact on their quality of life. The present study aimed to explore the quality and consequences of the most impacting psychedelic experience, with the user's Big Five personality in focus. This experienced samp
Gendered disinformation refers to the deliberate spread of harmful and false content targeting women, gender non-conforming individuals and marginalized groups, with the aim of advancing political agendas. It exploits polarization around gender equality and identity politics to weaken democratic systems and erode societal cohesion. Gendered disinformation leverages strategies such as amplifying mi
Lakes provide critical ecosystem services and are therefore particularly sensitive to disruptions such as harmful algal blooms (HABs). Cyanobacteria are the most common HAB-forming species in lakes, and their prevalence is expected to increase with climate change. However, during a 2018 heatwave in southern Sweden, Lake Vombsjön experienced an unexpected shift from its usual cyanobacterial dominan
Disinhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been observed in patients with loss-of-function variants in the disheveled, Egl-10, and pleckstrin domain-containing protein 5 (DEPDC5), and nitrogen permease regulator-like proteins 2 and 3 (NPRL2, and NPRL3) genes, which encode the components of GTPase activating protein Activity Toward Rags Complex 1 (GATOR1) complex. Evero
The Chambolle–Pock method is a versatile three-parameter algorithm designed to solve a broad class of composite convex optimization problems, which encompass two proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions, along with a linear operator L. The functions are accessed via their proximal operators, while the linear operator is evaluated in a forward manner. Among the three algorithm parameters
Objective: Assessing psychological pain is crucial for evaluating suicide risk. This study examined differences in psychological pain between patients with suicide attempts, those with suicidal ideation, clinical, and non-clinical controls using a newly translated German version of the Mee-Bunney Psychological Pain Assessment Scale (MBPPAS). Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with two i
Epileptic seizure prediction holds the potential to enhance the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy by enabling the possibility of timely administration of medication and first aid, as well as preventing subsequent accidents. In this paper, we consider the well-established Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Lorenz features, and augment them with the electrocardiogram (ECG) multifractality
Att läsa och tolka nedtecknade vittnesmål kan öka vår förståelse för hur covid-19-pandemin påverkade vårdpersonal både mentalt och fysiskt. I den här artikeln undersöker vi några av de jobbrelaterade och existentiella svårigheter som läkare mötte under pandemin när det gällde personlig hälsa och välbefinnande. Artikeln använder sig av några av de berättelser som publicerades i amerikansk kontext u
Purpose: The PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumours (PERCIST) 1.0 provides a standardized framework for evaluating treatment response using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography – computed tomography (PET-CT), but its clinical use is hindered by manual complexity. This study presents coPERCIST, an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted module integrated into the RECOMIA pl
The hippocampus, crucial in cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), shows early atrophy during disease progression. This study investigated 5-year trajectories of hippocampal volumes across AD stages, focusing on genetic predisposition to AD, captured through the polygenic risk score for AD (PRS-AD) and APOE, and their impact on hippocampal atrophy. Analyzing data from 1,051 participants in
Strategic sustainability communication in organizations managed by financial objectives is characterized by paradoxical tensions that arise within the organization when sustainability goals are added. Yet the dominant perspective on sustainability among practitioners and researchers is the Business Case Frame (BCF) which is ill-suited to address these tensions. This chapter is built on a qualitati
