Multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) is becoming increasingly interesting because of its role in complex systems, such as warehouse sorting, search-and-rescue missions and autonomous vehicles. Another application for path planning is within production in industry when more advanced solutions than conveyor belts are developed. One such advanced transportation system is the XPlanar system, which is produc
Sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon sugars which contain a carboxyl group and a glycerol chain.

Introduction: PARP14 belongs to the superfamily of PARPs that perform ADP-ribosylation of target proteins. The enzyme is involved in many cellular processes, including regulation of glycolysis, protein degradation, and genomic reparation. Background: PKM2 has been shown to be regulated indirectly by PARP14 to promote the Warburg effect. This describes an alternative glycolysis that cancer cells a
This study focuses on attitudes towards ADHD in social work amongst social workers diagnosed with ADHD, their managers, and their colleagues.

In 2022, approximately 32 million patients worldwide suffered from Alzheimer’s disease dementia. In addition to this, about 380 million people carried the biomarkers indicating Alzheimer’s, while displaying little to no symptoms. These people, however, always live with the risk of the disease progressing - making the development of a drug that can slow down or stop progression an endeavour of glob

Det kollektiva samhället och den kyrkliga gemenskapen har i stor utsträckning ersatts av individualism, vilket har bidragit till att förändra kyrkans roll och funktion. Kyrkan, och dess förutsättningar att bedriva verksamhet, står idag inför vissa utmaning
