For the experimental assessment of concrete material properties, estimating compressive strength is crucial for the calculation of structural safety and optimising testing campaigns. However, the optimal number of tests required to comply with a target reliability while balancing effort has rarely been analysed in the past. This work introduces an approach combining statistical modelling and uncer
Rapporten beskriver genomförandet av EPPO-förordningen i Sverige samt belyser vissa särskilda problem med tolkningen och tillämpningen av systemet med EPPO.
Songbirds rely on an endogenous programme encoding spatio-temporal information necessary for naive individuals to perform their first migration. Timing programmes are generated by endogenous clocks and include responses to external cues, with photoperiod being the most important. Photoperiod can advance or delay the circannual cycle and, while it is well established as a trigger for initiating mig
Most bird species are diurnal but drastically change their diel cycle of activity to migrate at night. Nocturnal migration has been documented using different methods (e.g., experiments, radar and radio tracking, and acoustic monitoring), but accurately quantifying the proportion of nocturnal versus diurnal flight at the individual and species levels, and understanding how this behavior evolved ac
Factors limiting fat cell expandability remain scarcely explored, and comprehensive functional comparisons of adipose depots in humans are limited. In the present study, we collected visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) paired-samples from 22 patients with obesity undergoing elective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Whole tissue samples were used to determine adipoc
BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in single-cell transcriptomic analyses have greatly expanded our understanding of cellular diversity in adipose tissue, indicating transcriptionally distinct subpopulations of adipocytes. Here we sought to rigorously test such heterogeneity at the protein level.METHODS: A data-driven imaging platform was tailored to assess cellular protein levels based on immunofluo
In this perspective, we argue for a social, multi-affective, contextual approach to emotions in environmental communication, departing from an observation that the field has often considered emotions as tools for change. To complement instrumental approaches, we stress how environmental communication as a scholarly field can benefit from a situated and contextual approach to emotions, embracing a
BACKGROUND: Heart rate (HR) control in atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly guided by resting HR measurements, usually with 12‑lead ECG or in-office pulse palpation.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the reliability of resting HR measurements in AF patients with long-term ambulatory ECG and activity monitoring.METHODS: We included patients who had recorded a full-disclosure ambulatory ECG with a mobil
In a context of population ageing, housing crises and socio-spatial inequalities, ageing in place depends not only on dwellings but also on neighbourhood conditions. This article examines how older adults’ social possibilities are shaped in everyday life in Angered and Högsbo, two contrasting neighbourhoods in Göteborg, Sweden. Drawing on 12 walking interviews with older adults and 72 neighbourhoo
Population ageing and changing family structures accentuate the need for housing forms that support social connection and care in later life. Collaborative housing (CH) re‑emerged in Sweden in the late 1970s as a bottom‑up response to the gendered burden of domestic work and the social shortcomings of large housing estates. Through academic exchanges, the Swedish self‑work model in collaborative h
This chapter introduces the Habsburgs as a global dynasty from their relatively humble beginning in medieval Austria to their remarkable global domination throughout the early modern period. It starts by introducing the dynasty as separate from the many polities it ruled, distinguishing between dynasty, state, and monarchy, and presenting the Habsburgs as a multi-branched ruling house that governe
INTRODUCTION: Sexual violence is highly prevalent in North Kivu, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and access to care for survivors remains challenging. This study aims to analyse characteristics of violence, barriers to care and timely access to care among survivors of sexual violence who accessed care in North Kivu following the increase of violence and displacement 2023-2024. Furthermore, it
