Lakes and streams play an important role in the global carbon cycle through carbon sedimentation and evasion. The development of carbon processes in the water quality model WSFS-Vemala (Vemala) presents a significant advancement in simulating carbon dynamics, particularly in capturing both total organic (TOC) and inorganic (TIC) carbon processes and their contributions to carbon retention and emis
Both heterojunction and core–shell photocatalysts have demonstrated promising performance in photocatalytic CO2 conversions to fuels. However, fundamental knowledge of heterojunctions in core–shell structures is highly desired to facilitate the design of future photocatalysts. By combining advanced experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the role of the Cu2
The mcstas_gisans framework is a collection of Python scripts and modules tofacilitate the simulation of grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering(GISANS) experiments. This approach combines McStas instrument simulationwith BornAgain sample modeling capabilities. The Monte Carlo Particle Listsformat for particle trajectory allows exchange between simulations that enablesseamless transition
Several methods of surgically treating displaced, ulno-humerally stable olecranon fractures (Mayo type 2a and 2b) have been suggested. Cerclage wires have been used for at least a century to achieve fracture fixation but have been replaced by tension band wiring or plate fixation as the commonly recognized "gold standard" treatments. Thin soft tissues and migrating K-wires result in high complicat
Ghostly ideals are among the most mysterious objects in coarse index theory. In this paper we show that if a metric space X with bounded geometry admits a coarse embedding into an ℓp-space (1≤p<∞), then the canonical inclusion from any geometric ideal to the corresponding ghostly ideal induces an isomorphism in K-theory. As consequences, we deduce that such spaces satisfy the relative coarse Baum-
Functional somatic syndromes frequently co-occur with internalizing disorders such as anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder. Both show familial associations with immune-mediated diseases. Here, we estimate genetic and environmental contributions to functional somatic syndromes and their overlap with immune-mediated diseases, with internalizing disorders included for comparison. The study
Dopaminergic medication used in disorders like Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome can cause impulsive-compulsive behaviour (ICB), often with strong negative effects on patients' quality of life. This narrative review presents translational evidence on iatrogenic ICB, taking findings from epidemiological, clinical, neuroimaging and preclinical studies into consideration. Epidemiolo
Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) is a dialysis modality that can improve patient outcomes beyond those achieved with conventional high-flux hemodialysis (HD) in patients with kidney failure. The CONVINCE trial, the latest and the largest of a series of randomized trials comparing HDF with HD, demonstrated a 23% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality with high-volume HDF compared to high-flux H
Denna rapport redovisar resultaten från en undersökning av huruvida en brandskyddsimpregnerad träfasad har bibehållit sin brandtekniska funktion efter några års naturlig väderexponering. Bakgrunden är att denna typ av behandling ofta används för att uppfylla brandskyddskrav och normalt verifieras genom åldring enligt EN 16755 EXT. Samtidigt finns en växande osäkerhet kring om den artificiella åldr
Polysaccharide degradation by microorganisms is essential in driving global nutrient cycling, developing renewable fuels or chemicals, and promoting human gut health. However, complex polysaccharides are often insoluble, making it challenging to study degradation with soluble enzymes or to measure microbial growth. Several protocols exist to address this challenge, including 3D-printed biomass con
Volume status of a patient is difficult to assess clinically. Methods to measure plasma volume as well as changes in plasma volume in connection with fluid therapy are therefore valuable for research purposes and could potentially be used bedside to guide fluid therapy in individual patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate hematocrit as a marker of changes in plasma volum

Översättningen har gjorts gemensamt av deltagarna i översättningsseminariet vid Johannesakademin.The book contains a Greek text edited by Jean-Claude Guy and reprinted with permission from Sources chrétiennes, Éditions du Cerf, as well as a Swedish translation of the systematic collection of Apophthegmata Patrum (Sayings of the Desert Fathers), Book 11. The translation was produced jointly by the participants in the translation seminar at the Johannesakademin.
Background: Data are lacking on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectory following myocardial infarction (MI). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of LVEF trajectory after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for MI on long-term outcomes. Methods: Patients undergoing PCI for MI (2007-2022) with serial echocardiograms were identified in the Swedish Coronary Angiograp
Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is common worldwide, but hepatic involvement is rare. HSV hepatitis is an uncommon yet frequently catastrophic cause of acute hepatitis and acute liver failure (ALF), accounting for < 1% of ALF cases while carrying very high mortality when diagnosis and antiviral therapy are delayed. Although classically associated with profound immunosuppr
Graphical methods for system analysis have played a central role in control theory. The Scaled Relative Graph (SRG) has recently emerged as a useful tool for stability analysis of feedback interconnections. In this letter, we further extend its applicability by showing how the SRG of a discrete-time linear-time-invariant (LTI) system can be computed exactly from its state-space representation usin
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied in medicine and healthcare. The high stakes of these applications have raised a particular demand for them to be, to some degree, transparent. Yet, how AI experts consider transparency and turn it into practice in the development of medical AI remains underexplored. As the notion of AI technologies as black boxes per
This study explores how different types of information can support fire service operations during fire incidents through the concept of Smart Firefighting. Semi-structured interviews with 47 incident commanders across three countries have been applied to examine how different types of information (pre-planned, real-time, and predictive) affect decision-making. The findings strongly indicate that rThis study explores how different types of information can support fire service operations during fire incidents through the concept of Smart Firefighting.

This study presents a cost-efficient method to assess the condition of fire-retardant treatments on existing wooden façades. The method is based on measuring changes in Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC), linked to the hygroscopic salts used in fire-retardant systems on the Swedish market. These salts increase wood moisture uptake, which can cause leaching and reduced fire performance over time.
