Cu-based ternary catalysts often outperform their binary counterparts in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Unraveling the underlying synergistic effects among multiple components remains challenging and requires comprehensive operando characterization. In this study, we present a detailed investigation into the synergistic Cu−Zn−Zr interactions in inverse ZnZrOx/Cu catalysts, which show strong

This paper presents hitherto unknown finds of baleen whale from Iron Age Scania. Through the peptide-based technique Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), we provide the first identifications of remains of humpback whale (Megaptera novaeaenglia) and fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) in Scania and we present the first identification of North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) or bowh

Feedbacks from the climate to other components of the coupled human-Earth system are expected to strongly influence the co-evolution of human society and its environment. Representing these feedback loops between climate and society, via the Earth system's response to human activities and the subsequent effect back onto social systems, is essential in order to fully explore the dynamics of the cou

Background: National studies on primary malignant tumours arising from the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare. Objectives: To investigate the incidence and outcomes of squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal (SCC-EAC) in Sweden. Materials and methods: The retrospective study included patients diagnosed with SCC-EAC in Sweden from 2007 to 2017. Results: Forty-six patients with SC

Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly, raising critical concerns about the integrity of digital content, particularly in sensitive domains such as medical imaging. Recent AI techniques, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models, can generate highly realistic synthetic medical images, posing risks of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and other adverse outcomes.

We explore configurations of sufficient and necessary conditions for the evolution and resilience of borrower trust in their lenders. Because trust is a dynamic phenomenon that needs to be understood in terms of change over time, we rely on longitudinal data collected from managers of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) who are clients of cooperative banks operating in Austria and Finland, a

Music education research in Sweden and across the Nordic countries has investigated questions of cultural diversity in music education for several decades. Greater cultural diversity in music education has also been a longstanding curricular goal. While interest in broadening cultural diversity in music education has been high, the extent to which these aspirations have impacted singing repertoire

Various membrane-based extraction techniques are used for sample pretreatment in analytical chemistry prior to using chromatographic or other techniques for the final determination. Such techniques show several advantages over other extraction. They lead to large selectively for several types of analytes in even complex samples and high-concentration enrichment, easily thousands of times. The most

AI is transforming how students learn, raising concerns about whether it expands educational opportunities or widens existing gaps. We examine this question in a preregistered lab experiment (N=572) in which students study a novel topic under one of three conditions: browsing only (control), AI-assisted, or AI-guided, and then complete an exam without AI access. We find no overall effect of AI acc

This chapter sets the stage for the volume. Sustainable consumption has long been on the global agenda, yet prevailing consumption patterns continue to drive climate change, resource depletion and biodiversity loss. One of the key barriers is the persistence of myths – narratives that render unsustainable practices normal, desirable or even virtuous. The chapter situates myths historically, tracin

This chapter covers how linguistics can contribute to developing Military Humanities as a field by showing how, particularly, corpus linguistics can serve as part of the line of defence against fake news and (other types of) disinformation. The authors draw on their experiences and insights from the Fakespeak project devoted to the identification of fake news based on linguistic cues. Their contri

The chaperone DNAJB6 inhibits aggregation of several amyloid proteins, such as α-synuclein and huntingtin, which are involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we designed a cell-based assay to measure DNAJB6 dimerization in HEK293 cells by fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET), as previous studies suggest that the activity of DNAJB6 is dependent on dimerization. The HEK293 cells were en

In 1887, psychical researchers Richard Hodgson and S. J. Davey published a study that revealed counterintuitive aspects of human cognition: How healthy, sober, honest observers of events can be prone to seemingly remarkable errors of eyewitness testimony. Their report, titled ‘The Possibilities of Mal-Observation and Lapse of Memory from a Practical Point of View’ included a collection of eyewitne

Holism is a term charged with multiple meanings. Coined by statesman and botanistJan Smuts in 1926, it was mainly used in academia until its public breakthrougharound 1980. This article examines the interdisciplinary circulation of holism in­ science during its first sixty years of existence, focusing on ecology, psychology,­ medicine, social science, pedagogy, and philosophy. While primarily an e
