A major reason for the great interest in regional industrial path development (RIPD) is the associated hopes for positive regional development outcomes. However, up to now we know surprisingly little about the often mixed economic, social and ecological effects of RIPD for regions. Existing studies on RIPD tend not to link to these outcomes. This special collection aims to improve our understandin
A search for heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos is performed with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, using the (Formula Presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula Presented) collected during Run 2. This search targets (Formula Presented) production, in which both top quarks decay into a bottom quark and a (Formula Presented) boson, where one of the (Formula Presen
High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [(Formula presented)]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a ch
Complexity and innovation are emerging as fundamental issues for the future of human life and society. To deal with them, different versions of systems thinking have been proposed. However, System-of-Systems (SoS) thinking, based on the biperspectival principle and human reflexivity, has not yet been clearly recognized. The unclear distinction between ‘systems’ and ‘SoS’ thinking often results in
The paper is a keynote talk, introducing the problem with texts that are not finished - or maybe not even written at all but - but still haunts the imagination of the writer, specifically the creative writing student.
Measurements of (anti)deuteron and (anti)He3 production in the rapidity range |y|
Current and projected environmental changes are complex and unprecedented in the context of modern societies. Effective adaptation strategies must consider constraining and enabling factors from both physical and societal aspects, as well as associated uncertainties at different points in time. Here we present a multidisciplinary method to quantify the solution space for individual adaptation meas
Background: Schistosomiasis is a snail-borne disease affecting over 200 million people worldwide. Despite dedicated control efforts and effective diagnostic tools, schistosomiasis remains prevalent. Novel and sustainable control measures are urgently needed. Bacteria might offer such a solution as links between bacteria, disease resistance and transmission potential of intermediate hosts have been
This study analyzed Japanese mandible movements using a recently developed technique, the MARRYS helmet [Gudmundsson et al., Interspeech (2024)]. Data were collected from 9 first language and 10 second language (Mandarin Chinese) speakers of Japanese. The speech materials included three sentences composed entirely of /a/ vowels, one neutral sentence and three focus sentences with emphasis on diffe
The European species of the Cheilosia subgen. Neocheilosia Barkalov, 1983 (Diptera,Syrphidae) are revised. The identities of Cheilosia morio (Zetterstedt, 1838) and of its synonyms are reviewed, and C. scanica Ringdahl, 1937 is established as a junior synonym of C. morio. Cheilosia luteicornis (Zetterstedt, 1838) is re-installed as the name for C. morio of authors pro parte, not Zetterstedt. Cheil
The liver is a central metabolic hub, performing vital functions such as bile production, protein, carbohydrate, lipid and drug metabolism, detoxification of xenobiotics, and the synthesis of essential biomolecules for reproduction, and also shows regenerative capability. Several of these functions can be affected by sexual dimorphisms with important consequences. In this study we used high-throug
The use of Earth Observation Data and Machine Learning models to generate gridded micro-level poverty maps has increased in recent years, with several high-profile publications. producing some compelling results. Poverty alleviation remains one of the most critical global challenges. Earth Observation (EO) technologies represent a promising avenue to enhance our ability to address poverty through
Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE) is the second most common compression neuropathy in the upper limb. Immediate return-to-work (RTW) after surgery is seldom possible due to restrictions and recovery demands. We aimed to explore RTW after UNE surgery and investigate factors contributing to variations. A prospective study with patients undergoing primary UNE surgery was conducted. Treatment
The pattern of substitutions at sites in proteins provides invaluable information about their biophysical and functional importance and what selection pressures are acting at individual sites. Amino acid site rates are typically estimated using phenomenological models where sequence variability is described by rate factors that scale the overall substitution rate in a protein to sites. In this stu
We resolve the multiple images of the binary-lens microlensing event ASASSN-22av using the GRAVITY instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). The light curves show weak binary-lens perturbations, complicating the analysis, but the joint modeling with the VLTI data breaks several degeneracies, arriving at a strongly favored solution. Thanks to precise measurements of the angular
Hybrid perovskites are interesting optoelectronic materials. The perovskite ABX3 structure offers a vast compositional space, and we have identified over 300 perovskite ions. This flexibility enables tuneable properties and has significantly contributed to the success of perovskite optoelectronics. However, this diversity also leads to confusion, ambiguity, and inconsistencies causing challenges f
Peripheral nerve tumours, most commonly schwannomas and neurofibromas, might present significant challenges by eliciting physical symptoms and emotional distress. We aimed to explore patients’ expectations, perceptions, and experiences regarding their diagnosis and the surgical treatment of a nerve tumour in the upper limb. Fourteen adults (10 women, 4 men; age range 35–85) from two Swedish hand s
Context. Hot Jupiters (HJs) with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, which lead to the possible ejection of other planets. TOI-2109 b is special in this regard because it is the HJ with the closest relative separation from its host star, being separated by less than 2.3 stellar
Background: Patients with diabetes admitted to emergency care face a higher risk of complications, including prolonged hospital stays, admissions to the intensive care unit and mortality. Aim: To develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict 30-day mortality in patients with diabetes admitted to the emergency department (ED). Design and setting: A cohort study utilizing data from all nine ED’s
