Estimating and monitoring migratory bird populations involves significant challenges, even in the most well-studied and easily-counted species, and can be further complicated by long-held but unverified assumptions and by shifting distributions in changing flyway conditions. We illustrate these challenges using Bar-tailed Godwits Limosa lapponica on the East Atlantic Flyway. The subspecies L. l. l
The structures of the complexes dominating in highly concentrated and 1.0 mol dm−3 aqueous solutions of first-row transition metal chlorides and bromides have been studied using large angle X-ray scattering (LAXS) and/or EXAFS. Of these systems, only zinc(ii) chloride and bromide form inner-sphere complexes in dilute aqueous solutions. No inner-sphere complexes corresponding to dilute aqueous perc
Aim: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweden chose a more open public health approach. A general concern was that this approach would affect the population negatively. We describe the Swedish national MIS-C cohort and risk factors for severe disease defined as admission to the intensive care unit and cardiogenic shock. Methods: Nationwide population-based cross-sectional study. All children and adole
Enzymes are powerful catalysts that perform chemical reactions with remarkable speed and specificity. Their intrinsic dynamics often play a crucial role in determining their catalytic properties. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of enzymes, a diverse and sophisticated experimental toolbox capable of studying enzyme dynamics at the single-molecule level is necessary. In this review, we disc
The Tajik health system is characterized by improving health outcomes over the last 20 years, but also major inefficiencies in health care delivery and large difficulties for people to access affordable essential health care. The benefits package (BP) is a key tool for prioritizing state budget allocations toward health interventions that most effectively enhance health system performance. This ar
Lifestyle factors such as participation in cognitively stimulating activities and physical activity are hypothesized to foster neural connections and enhance resilience, thereby attenuating cognitive loss in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Nonetheless, the relationship between these factors and important clinical outcomes of cognition and brain atrophy
I 1300-talshandskriften Uppsala UB, C 381, återfinns en predikosamling som där kallas Gäddhuvud. Samlingen finns i ytterligare en handskrift skriven i Sverige på 1300-talet, i dag förvarad i Prag. Den nämns vid namn i ett testamente från 1309 och torde därför ha författats redan på 1200-talet. Artikeln beskriver samlingens innehåll, syfte, metodik och teologi samt avslutas med editioner av två pre
Lead-free perovskites (LFPs) are an emergent class of materials with great potential as next-generation candidates for energy and optoelectronic applications, offering a sustainable and non-toxic alternative to their lead-based counterparts. Computational studies play a central role in accelerating the discovery, design, and optimization of these materials by enabling predictive insights into elec
As part of the Net-Zero Industry Act and Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, the European Union (EU) has positioned carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a critical decarbonization technology. These developments build on the European Green Deal's (EGD) integrated approach to climate policy, which seeks to balance decarbonization with broader societal goals. Previous research confirms CCS's techni
Artikeln beskriver gudstjänstlivet i den senmedeltida svenska sockenkyrkan: dop, kyrkoårets högtider, klockringning, söndagens mässa och predikan, uttryck för mässfromhet, Palmsöndagens procession, regler för fasta och bikt, konfirmation, vigsel och kyrktagning, sista smörjelsen och begravning. Där så är möjligt anknyter artikeln till innehållet i det missale som trycktes för Strängnäs stift 1487.
Lipases are vital in modifying lipid substrates across industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Among their features, fatty acid selectivity is particularly important for industrial applications. Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) stands out for its high selectivity and broad applicability. In this study, we engineered single-residue variants of ROL by targeting Ala89 and Phe95 in its li
The ELEGANCE study (NCT05043103) is an ongoing, non-interventional registry study collecting real-world data on long-term efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes following treatment with levodopa–entacapone–carbidopa intestinal gel (LECIG) infusion. To explore the effect of LECIG on non-motor symptoms (NMS) in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients participating in the ELEGANCE study and usi
Ectomycorrhizal fungi are critical mediators of nitrogen acquisition in forest ecosystems, exhibiting variation in both host association and metabolic traits that mediate differential responses to forest nitrogen availability. However, how nitrogen acquisition strategies vary among closely related fungal species, how these patterns manifest in conifer-associated ECM fungi, and whether they persist
Background: Endometriosis can cause gastrointestinal symptoms that sometimes lead to incorrect diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Receptors of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are found in the endometrium and are overexpressed in ectopic endometrium. The role of TSH receptors and thyroid hormones in the pathophysiology of endometriosis has therefore been discussed. No biomarker is avail
A central challenge in water electrolysis lies with the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) where the formation of molecular oxygen (O2) is hindered by the constraint of angular momentum conservation. While the reactants OH− or H2O are diamagnetic (DM), the O2 product has a paramagnetic (PM) triplet ground state, requiring a change in spin configuration when being formed. This constraint has prompted
Introduction: Different strategies in prophylaxis for haemophilia among countries may affect long-term outcome. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare joint health in persons with severe haemophilia (PwSH) between Sweden and Greece, based on different approaches on prophylaxis initiation and management. Methods: Data were extracted from the PedNet Registry, which collects patient data prospectiv
Breviates are anaerobic protists and among the closest unicellular relatives of animals and fungi, yet their ecology and metabolism remain poorly understood. In this thesis, I investigated the distribution, metabolic potential, and bacterial interactions of breviates in low-oxygen environments. Breviates rely on bacteria both as a food source and potentially as metabolic partners. Breviates are pr
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) polymorphism is maintained by balancing selection through host-pathogen interactions and mate choice. MHC-based mate choice has been investigated across a wide range of vertebrates, and an established concept is that females should choose a mate with an MHC genotype that is dissimilar to her own to ensure high MHC divergence in her offspring. Here we present
Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are a fast growing market of high performance materials and components. Thermally induced damage during machining processes such as drilling or routing are among the limiting factors for product quality, yet accurate temperature measurement remains challenging. This study develops a methodology which combines machinable thermocouples and IR thermometry techn
