Background: The aging of the world’s population and the increase in sedentary lifestyles are leading to an increase in walking impairments at older ages. Here, we aimed to comprehensively discuss walking in the context of an aging population; and identify and agree on a list of future research priorities and policy actions. Methods: We followed a participatory approach and held a multidisciplinary

Policy institutes such as central banks need accurate forecasts of key measures of economic activity to design stabilization policies that reduce the severity of economic fluctuations. Therefore, this paper develops a kernel ridge regression estimator in a mixed data sampling framework. Kernel ridge regression can handle many predictors with a nonlinear relationship to the target variable. Consequ

A novel mechanism of sequestering tumor suppressor mRNAs reveals new therapeutic vulnerabilities in leukemic cells.

In dialogical self theory (DST) authenticity has not been a central concern. The humanist notion of a static, higher-order, superordinate, ultimate, and “true” self runs counter to the ontology of DST, and the conceptualization of the dialogical self as unconsolidated, multifaceted, dynamic, and sensitive to situational change. In a climate in which the psychology of authenticity is undergoing rev

We investigate experimentally the quantum coherence of an electronic two-level system in a double quantum dot under continuous charge detection. The charge state of the two-level system is monitored by a capacitively coupled single quantum dot detector that imposes a backaction effect on the system. The measured backaction is well described by an additional decoherence rate, approximately linearly

Vid gravområdet Ormknös på Björkö hittades under 1970-talet en drejad kanna med hank i en av gravarna. Den kan nu bestämmas till en produktion inom khazariskt område vid Azovska sjön. En abbasidisk dirhem funnen i graven anger en nedläggning till 800-talets mitt eller strax därefter. Kannan av tamatarchatyp är ovanlig utanför produktionsområdet. Den anknyter till de östfärder som utgör ett tidigt

BACKGROUND: Proteases are important enzymes in food and pharmaceutical industries, but challenges persist in their recombinant production due to host cell proteome hydrolysis and fitness loss. The development of recombinant expression systems for directed evolution of proteolytic enzymes, and industrial production are desirable. This study evaluated Saccharomyces cerevisiae as expression host for

Airborne depth sounding lidar has proven to be a valuable sensor for rapid and accurate sounding of shallow areas. The received lidar pulse echo contains information of the sea floor depth, but also other data can be extracted. We currently perform work on bottom classification and water turbidity estimation based on lidar data. In this paper we present the theoretical background and experimental

Över tid har stora förskjutningar mellan olika kategorier av nyhetsmaterial ägt rum i en lokaltidning som Ystads Allehanda.I den här artikeln ligger fokus på utrikesnyheternas minskade och det lokala materialets ökade betydelse.Förskjutningen mellan dessa båda kategorier exemplifieras med en jämförelse mellan åren 1939 och 2025.

The task of assessing and contracting foster parents, usually undertaken by a child protection social worker, is increasingly framed by market arrangements. This article explores, from the perspective of social workers, whether and how this context poses challenges for foster care considerations. Theoretically informed by the sociology of emotions, the following research questions are explored: ho

Critical debates on research and knowledge security commonly evoke the concept of ‘securitization’ when highlighting dangers to scientific openness in a context of increased attention to national security, but often fail to recognize the multifaceted nature of critical approaches to security. Drawing on a broad literature in Critical Security Studies (CSS) and turning to current debates on researc

Den här rapporten är en del av ett större utvecklingsprojekt och baseras på en serie digitala forskningscirklar för kuratorer inom hälso- och sjukvården som pågick mellan 2020 och 2022. Författarna undersöker, med hjälp av anteckningar från forskningscirklarna och egna erfarenheter som kliniskt verksamma kuratorer, hur deras arbete kan förstås både inom den egna professionen och i samverkan med an

Delignification is a critical step of the wood fractionation process in a biorefinery. It directly influences the purity of lignin and aids in breaking bonds within lignin and lignin–carbohydrate complexes surrounding cellulose. The recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose poses challenges in fractionating the material, notably during delignification. Recent progress in understanding lignin’s phy

In North and East Syria—also known as Rojava—the convergence of war, politics, and environmental challenges presents a complex and pressing reality. This blog is dedicated to exploring these interlinked issues, highlighting how conflict and ecological degradation are deeply connected, and how these dynamics affect communities in varied and unequal ways.

Årligen upptäcks nya kärlväxter i Sverige. Det kan vara arter som etablerar sig i Sverige i klimatförändringarnas spår, som följer med internationella transporter, och inte minst trädgårdsrymlingar. Det finns flera skäl till att dokumentera dessa, inte minst för att förebygga spridning av invasiva arter. Biologiska museet i Lund tar emot belägg och listar här de arter som var nya för Sverige 2023.

I slutet av januari i år hölls en konferens om granskning av kärlväxtuppgifter i samband med produktionen av en svensk kärlväxtatlas. Svenska Botaniska Föreningen organiserade konferensen i samarbete med Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet. Mötet hölls i Riksmuseets lokaler i Stockholm med cirka 35 deltagare.
