Atmospheric nitrogen (N) dry deposition is an important component in total N deposition. However, uncertainty exists in the assessment of global dry deposition. Here, we develop empirical models for estimating ground N concentrations using NO 2 satellite measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and ground measurements from 555 monitoring sites. Global patterns and trends in the flux
Purpose: To report a severe phenotype of retinitis pigmentosa associated with novel mutations in CNGB1. Observations: Six siblings, age range 50–75 years old, were examined using optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescene, electroretinogram testing, Goldman visual field testing, and genetic testing using next generation sequencing. In four affected siblings, two novel compound heteroz
Several orogenies have shaped the bedrock of southern Sweden. While mafic intrusions represent significant sources of information for reconstructing geodynamics and crustal evolution, the characterization of the various generations of such intrusions in Sweden remains limited. We report in situ zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope data from a Fe-Ti eclogite and a coronitic metagabbro from the Eastern S
Background: In Sweden, cobalt chloride 0.5% has been included in the baseline series since the mid-1980s. A recent study from Stockholm showed that cobalt chloride 1% petrolatum (pet.) was more suitable than 0.5%. Cobalt chloride at 1.0% has been patch tested for decades in many European countries and around the world. Objectives: To study the suitability of patch testing to cobalt 1.0% vs 0.5% an
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the construct validity, floor and ceiling effects, data completeness and magnitude of change over time for the eight-item patient questionnaire (HQ-8) in the Swedish Healthcare Quality Registry for hand surgery (HAKIR). Methods: Construct validity was investigated through predefined hypotheses and correlation statistics between the single items i
Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) is one of the key drivers of anthropogenic climate change. In addition to greenhouse gases such as CO2 or CH4, LULCC affects also the emission of other carbon trace gases such as biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). We investigate the impact of changing LULCC on the emission of isoprene and monoterpenes during the 21st century using seven different la
Background: Omission of breakfast results in higher glucose and lower insulin and incretin hormone levels after both lunch and dinner. Whether omission of lunch has a similar impact on the following meal is not known. Aim: This study therefore explored whether omission of lunch ingestion affects glucose, islet and incretin hormones after dinner ingestion in healthy subjects. Materials & Method
Ray-Triangle intersection is a fundamental computation in most ray tracing algorithms. The prohibitive cost of the ray-triangle test algorithms, however, limits the utilization of these algorithms in settings with low power budgets, such as mobile systems. In this work, we analyze the precision requirements for ray-triangle intersection and observe that for most of the rays a low-precision is suff
This study contributes to fill the gap in the existing community health worker literature by offering a more nuanced perspective on performance motivation of healthcare workers from rural South Africa. Specifically, it focuses on the various work incentives and perceived organization support that shape work performance of healthcare workers and, therefore, organizational effectiveness. By followin
This research examines what was at stake for young Chinese women who are negatively conceptualized as fudimo 扶弟魔. Drawing on feminist theories of everyday resistance and relational autonomy, it explores how they resist intersecting gendered power relations in everyday life. The thesis draws on ethnographic methods, including participant observation and semi-structured interviews with 15 women aged
Gender inequality persists in contemporary Europe despite decades of legal reform. Yet, the emotional bond to the nation may lead women to perceive the unequal gender arrangements as fair and legitimate, a process rooted in system justification motivation. This study examines the association between national attachment and perceived gender fairness among women, and whether this association varies
Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA) är kritiskt sjuka. Inter-nationella samt nationella studier visar på att många patienter kan efter att ha vårdats på IVA, få psykiska besvär så som ångest, depression och posttraumatisk stress (PTSD). En bidragande faktor för att utveckla dessa besvär har visat sig vara obehagliga och traumatiska minnen. Syftet med studien var att beskriva pat
Real-time 3D reconstruction is crucial for immersive AR/VR but is hard to achieve with traditional photogrammetry and mesh-based pipelines due to latency and limited scalability. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) enable high-quality novel view synthesis but suffer from long training and slow rendering, while Gaussian Splatting (GS) achieves real-time rendering at the cost of heavy preprocessing and me
Transportation of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi Valenciennes) juveniles from hatchery to on-growing operations in New Zealand exposes the fish to significantly elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Experiments were undertaken to assess metabolic and haematological stress responses after a 5 h period of hypercapnia followed by recovery in normocapnia. Mortality was low (0.5%) and sec
