Topological qubits based on non-Abelian Majorana bound states (MBSs) are protected by parity which is challenged by quasiparticle poisoning (QPP). In this work, we show how QPP affects transport through a pair of coupled MBSs weakly connected to two current leads, using an open system approach and full counting statistics. We find that the correct low-energy physics requires one to include next to
Histatin 5 (Hst5) is a histidine-rich intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) whose biological function arises from a highly heterogeneous conformational ensemble and environmental sensitivity. Unlike structured antimicrobial peptides that rely on persistent secondary motifs, Hst5 remains disordered across a wide range of conditions, enabling continuous adaptation to changes in pH, ionic strength,
Recent announcements by the US Government linking paracetamol use during pregnancy to autism in offspring highlight the risks of misinterpreting observational research to inform policy; this is a clear example of the principle that association does not equal causation. Unmeasured familial confounding is a common bias in epidemiological studies, whereby shared genetic or environmental factors withi
As climate change-related hazards intensify, enhanced adaptation efforts that extend beyond technological solutions and include active roles for citizens are required. We introduce the novel concept of climate adaptation citizenship, defined through the three dimensions of awareness, action, and political engagement, to explore how citizens in small, remote Nordic communities engage with different
This Development Dissertation Brief summarises a study of Sweden’s long-term media aid engagement in Vietnam from 1993 to 2007, examining howjournalistic skills, norms and practices were introduced, translated and reshapedwithin an authoritarian media system. Drawing on project documentation andinterviews with Swedish journalism trainers and radio technicians, the disserta-tion analyses how techno
I svensk historieskrivning kallas 1600-talet ofta för “stormaktstiden”, och dåtidens Sverige betecknas som en stormakt. Denna terminologi är emellertid inte självklar och har, som denna artikel visar, en historisk bakgrund. Före 1800-talets mitt betecknade historikerna inte 1600-talet som en tid präglad av någon särskild storhet, även om kung Gustav II Adolf hyllades för sina insatser under trettiIn Swedish history, the 17th century is usually named stormaktstiden (Great Power Age) and Sweden of the time is called a stormakt (great power). This terminology is not evident and it has a history. Before the middle of the 19th century, historians did not denote the 17th century as an age of any specific greatness, although king Gustav II Adolf was lauded for his performance in the Thirty Year’s
Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is essential for predicting aquatic carbon fluxes and managing water quality in boreal catchments. Traditional DOC modelling approaches are limited in their ability to represent seasonal dynamics, event-driven responses, and riparian-zone contributions. Here, we evaluate the performance of the Krycklan-HYPE model in simula
Many seriously ill and frail older people experience a lack of practical support and meaningful social engagement. While healthcare provides good medical support, it lacks the full competence and resources to help with social, practical and existential challenges that can arise near the end-of-life. Increasingly, resources in civil society are enlisted to fill this care gap. One such attempt to br
The causal link between potentially traumatic events and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) remains unclear due to reliance on retrospective self-reports and limited control for familial factors. Here, in this Swedish population-based cohort study, we identified 3,340,945 individuals born between 1975 and 2008 and prospectively examined the associations of objectively recorded assault/victimizati
Large-scale Euro-Atlantic variability, shaped by the polar jet stream, governs weather and climate in the Baltic Sea region, thereby impacting the physical and biogeochemical properties of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. This review synthesizes how key atmospheric circulation features and modes of climate variability, including the North Atlantic Oscillation, atmospheric blocking and the Atlantic Multid
BackgroundCytoreductive surgery is central to the management of advanced ovarian cancer. As the extent of surgery varies widely, assessment of postoperative risk is challenging. The Karolinska Surgical Extent and Complexity Score (K-SECS) was developed to quantify surgical extent and has previously been associated with survival. This study evaluated whether K-SECS is also associated with major pos
This thesis discusses how teachers’ experiences of teaching online is related to how they chose to teach. Previous research has shown that contextual factors can influence how teachers go about their teaching, and when university courses leave the physical campus and move to an online environment, this entails a change of context. The research presented here focuses on teachers’ experiences and ch
INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairment is common in parkinsonian disorders, but its extent among older adults with subtle motor abnormalities without a diagnosed movement disorder remains unclear. We examined cognitive decline, domain-specific cognitive function and incident dementia in older adults with subthreshold parkinsonism and parkinsonism (primary analysis). Sensitivity analyses were repeated
The classification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) based on ECG changes has evolved over time. Before the revascularization era, AMI was classified based on Q-waves that indicate loss of myocardium. After thrombolysis trials in the 1990s demonstrated a survival benefit, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) classificatio
OBJECTIVE: Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is linked to crowding and patient outcomes whereas worse prognosis in low socioeconomic status remains poorly understood. We studied whether income was associated with ED process times among patients with chest pain.METHODS: This was a registry-based cohort study on 124,980 patients arriving at 14 Swedish EDs between 2015 and 2019 with chest p
INTRODUCTION: The Emergency Medicine Education and Research by Global Experts (EMERGE) network was formed to generate and translate evidence to improve global emergency care. We share the challenges faced and lessons learned in establishing a global research network.METHODS: We describe the challenges encountered when EMERGE proposed the development of a global emergency department (ED) visit regi
This article outlines the historical significance of People’s Parks and Houses in Sweden, especially in the Öresund region, and examines how these spaces persist today as cultural heritage through four case studies highlighting how history is (and is not) reflected in the urban landscape. It emphasizes their roots in political movements and argues that these sites offer important insights into the
