Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has served as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1989, remains unchallenged as the most powerful figure within the country’s theocratic dictatorship. Now 85 years old, renewed attention is being drawn to persistent speculation about his declining health. As Iran prepares for an era without its leading figure, the opaque process of succession once again

Recent Trends in Enzyme-Based Biosensors for On-Site Screening of Antibiotic Residues

Antibiotics are used to treat both humans and animals for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. The overreliance on and misuse of antibiotics has given rise to a stealth pandemic, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, they pose a significant threat to human, animal, and environmental health. Surveillance of antibiotic residues in the environment, especially in wastewater, for tack

Rebranding Child Protection Policies Undermines the Real Issues of Funding and Implementation : A Comparative Analysis of the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (2009 and 2014) and Mission Vatsalya (2022)

This article compares India’s recently adopted child protection policy, Mission Vatsalya (2022), with its predecessor, the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (2009, 2014). The comparative analysis finds that many parts of Mission Vatsalya are ‘old wine in new bottles’, suggesting that adopting a new scheme was in large part a rebranding exercise. Some concerning changes, however, are visible: a di

Balancing Environmental Sustainability and Nutrition: Dietary Climate Impact in Relation to Micronutrient Intake and Status in a Swedish Cohort

BackgroundDietary shift is necessary for improving public health, mitigating climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adaption of climate-friendly diets might prevent chronic diseases and reduce mortality; however, consuming diets with a low climate impact have been suggested to increase risk of some micronutrient deficiencies.ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine whether s

"I want control and I imagine I have it" : experiences of control and loss of control among people with gambling problems in Sweden

INTRODUCTION: Gambling harm is a widespread phenomenon affecting an increasing number of individuals. Understanding the concept of self-control is central to comprehending the nature of gambling problems.METHODS: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with ten individuals recruited through peer support associations in Sweden. The data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological

I Want to Break Myself, When I'm Already Broken : Experiences of Gambling in Relation to a "Rock Bottom" Hypothesis

This study explores narratives about gambling problems and experiences of "rock bottom" through interviews with ten participants. The analysis generated three main themes. In A bumpy road-Plunging toward "rock bottom," participants described hitting "rock bottom" as something to avoid or being dragged there by self-hatred or dedication. In A split existence-Being at the "rock bottom," the experi

Impact of prenatal and childhood exposure to pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos on motor skills in 7-year-old children from the Odense Child Cohort

Background: Developmental exposures to neurotoxic insecticides, as pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos are of growing concern. Objective: To study associations between low prenatal and childhood exposure to pyrethroids and chlorpyrifos and motor skills at age 7. Materials and methods: Data consisted of sub-samples of women and children from the Odense Child Cohort; 883 mother-child pairs with maternal ur

Tattoo exposure and biomarkers of male fecundity : A cross-sectional study among young Danish males

Background: Tattoo inks are mixtures of organic and inorganic color pigments and having a tattoo may be adversely associated with biomarkers of male fecundity. Objective: To examine the association between tattoo exposure and biomarkers of male fecundity. Methods: Participants were young adult Danish males (aged 18–21 years) sampled from the Danish National Birth Cohort. Upon recruitment in 2017–2

Kompetensfördelningen mellan allmän domstol och allmän förvaltningsdomstol : Konferens vid Juridiska fakulteten i Lund

Den 14 februari 2025 hölls vid Juridiska fakulteten vid Lunds universitet en konferens på temat kompetensfördelningen mellan allmän domstol och allmän förvaltningsdomstol. Konferensen arrangerades av Nätverket för förvaltningsprocessrätt och Lunds universitet. Som talare medverkare domare verksamma inom rättskipningen i Sverige och Finland samt forskare. Bland åhörarna fanns företrädare för rättsk

The benefit of being wrong : How prediction error size guides the reshaping of episodic memories

Episodic memories are not static - they shift and reshape as our surroundings evolve. One powerful mechanism for change are prediction errors, which arise when predictions about what is going to happen next do not match the actual input. This study investigated how the size of prediction errors - arising from predictions based on episodic memories - affects recognition memory and neural memory rep

Videofeedback som tidig samordnad insats : En undersökning av Marte Meo och samordningssamtal (MOS) som förebyggande arbete i skolan

Avhandlingen bidrar med kunskap inom fältet tidiga interventioner och tidigasamordnade insatser, i synnerhet inom skolsocialt arbete. I en systematisköversikt undersöks vilka studier som utförts av videofeedbackinterventioner(VF) mellan 1990 och 2014 och om de haft önskad effekt. I likhet med tidigareforskning visar den att VF kan påverka föräldrars och pedagogers samspel medbarn i positiv riktninThe dissertation concerns video feedback interventions (VF) aimed at interactions between parents, teachers and children, more specifically children who display disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in school. To counteract early social exclusion, the dissertation emphasises the importance of fostering change processes, where parents and teachers in preschool and school play a significant role in su

Broken Infrastructures : Inconvinience and spaces of care

The authors, Gigi Argyropoulou, Ethel Baraona and Lisa Maillard, Elke Krasny and Svetlana Milevska, were invited to write new texts attempting to revisit the concept of care and its discontents. In their texts, they reflect upon understandings of the fundamental role of care, in relation to contradictions of social cohesion and social emancipation, while issues such as the Global South, feminism,

Exploring the causal effect of cosmic filaments on dark matter haloes

The way in which the large-scale cosmic environment affects galactic properties is not yet understood. Dark matter haloes, which embed galaxies, initially evolve following linear theory. Their subsequent evolution is driven by non-linear structure formation in the halo region and in its outer environment. In this work, we present the first study where we explicitly control the linear part of the e

Revisiting Type 2 Myocardial Infarction : Unmet Clinical Needs

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often the first clinical manifestation. Currently, the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is based on the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction (MI), with different subtypes based on their pathophysiological background. While type 1 myocardial infarct

Effect of temperature on the interaction rules between grain size and reaction rate of Al-Ga-based alloys for hydrogen generation

Controllable hydrogen generation rate of Al-Ga-based on-site hydrogen supply materials significantly impacts their practical application. In many scenarios, the hydrolysis reaction occurs at elevated temperatures, which is a factor often overlooked in its effect on reaction kinetics. This study investigates the relationship between grain size and reaction rate in Al-Ga-based alloys for hydrogen ge
