Context. Hot and warm Jupiters might have undergone the same formation and evolution path, but the two populations exhibit different distributions of orbital parameters. This challenges our understanding of their actual origin. Aims. We report the results of our warm Jupiters survey, which was carried out with the CHIRON spectrograph within the KESPRINT collaboration. We addressed the question of
The Industrial Symbiosis Readiness Level Matrix (ISRLM) tool presented in this paper, was developed to address the challenges inherent in implementing and managing Industrial Symbiosis (IS) networks. IS networks are complex systems involving diverse actors with varying levels of preparedness, perspectives, and priorities, which can result in miscommunication, inefficiencies, and slow implementatio
For circular retail models to successfully replace linear consumption in the future, retailers must understand the lived reality of second-hand customer journeys. However, existing customer journey mapping methods often fail to capture the non-linear, phygital, and multi-retailer nature of such journeys. This article introduces ‘messy customer journey self-mapping’, a novel qualitative method desi
Water structure is crucially important to protein function and catalysis and can be conserved throughout related proteins despite differences in sequence. The complex hydrogen-bonding networks formed by water molecules and protein residues have been studied extensively, and graph-theory-based methods have frequently been used to describe these networks. Although there exist a number of tools which
Osteocytes have recently been identified as a new regulator of bone remodeling, but the detailed mechanism of their differentiation from osteoblasts remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to identify cell cycle regulators involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts into osteocytes and determine their physiological significance. The study uses IDG-SW3 cells as a model for the differentiat
Asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or without (CRSsNP) are chronic respiratory diseases. These two disorders often co-exist based on common anatomical, immunological, histopathological, and pathophysiological basis. Usually, asthma with comorbid CRSwNP is driven by type 2 (T2) inflammation which predisposes to more severe, often intractable, disease. In the past two decad
This study examines the impact of social isolation on risk-taking behavior in highly uncertain environments with the potential for significant gains and losses. We uncover both direct and indirect effects of social isolation on risk-taking behavior, mediated through perceived stress, sense of control, and neuroticism. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a pertinent context to explore these dynamics, wh
We investigated the sequential protein expression in gingival crevicular fluid samples during the induction (I) and resolution (R) of experimental gingivitis. Periodontally and systemically healthy volunteers (n = 20) participated in a three-week experimental gingivitis protocol, followed by debridement and two weeks of regular plaque control. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected
This is the second article in the psychological elements of palliative care (PEPC) series. This series focuses on how key concepts from psychotherapy can be used in the context of palliative care to improve communication and fine tune palliative care interventions. In this article, we introduce two foundational concepts: frame and formulation. The frame is the context in which care is delivered; i
Purpose The aim of the research was to investigate how a model for public procurement could be designed with the aim of including industrially produced housing in the procurement process in Sweden. Methodological approach The study was performed in two steps, an initial literature review and then a case study. The literature review aimed at creating an understanding of how this is done in other c
BackgroundThe quality and relevance of the information gathered is paramount when using the student voice to improve study programmes.Summary of workIn an on-going project we follow three cohorts of nursing students through their three-year programme. Methods used are two validated inventories (DREEM and CLES+T), written “free” comments, focus groups, semester meetings, and interviews with individ
Understanding the initial oxidation pathways on binary Ni-Cr surfaces is import for alloy development and rational design. The early-stage oxidation of Ni-22wt% Cr is studied in-situ and in-operando with synchrotron-based x-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPEEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at 500 °C and oxygen exposure from 0 to 65 Langmuir. Preferential Cr oxidation is accompanied by
The Cantril Ladder is among the most widely administered subjective well-being measures; every year, it is collected in 140+ countries in the Gallup World Poll and reported in the World Happiness Report. The measure asks respondents to evaluate their lives on a ladder from worst (bottom) to best (top). Prior work found Cantril Ladder scores sensitive to social comparison and to reflect one’s relat
Body water balance is determined by fundamental homeostatic mechanisms that maintain stable volume, osmolality and the composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids. Water balance is maintained by multiple mechanisms that continuously match water losses through urine, the skin, the gastrointestinal tract and respiration with water gains achieved through drinking, eating and metabolic water
The dominance of men in politics has been a long standing trend, with women historically underrepresented in this sphere. Efforts toward women's inclusion in politics seek to address and rectify this gender imbalance, advocating for greater representation, equal opportunities, and the dismantling of barriers that have hindered women's active participation in political decision-making proce
Oh dear god, how can something so simple become this hard? It’s just a house, I’ve lived in houses before, my entire life actually. But now I’m the one who’s designing it, for me and my family. All of a sudden, this fundamental thing of living and creating a home gets all rusty with the patina of pressure. I can’t oversee anything, I can’t take things for granted. Now, it’s time to decide, or shou
Purpose: The purpose is to present a greater understanding of the progression of innovation capital in a technology transfer and biotech start-up context. The findings offer technology transfer professionals, entrepreneurs and academia an overall perception and mental framework of the technology transfer practice and the embracement of a promising invention, building upon its hidden value. Methodo
