The search for certainty in a world that is often so binary – where choosing between two options seems to be the better (and simpler) alternative – gives meaning to the expression «a picture is worth a thousand words». But if we are running away from simplicity, why choose between the two?Since the advent of photography, the scientific community has had a tool with which to provide objective knowl
Importance: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) may contribute to the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) through its association with inflammation and cardiac remodeling. Objective: To determine whether CHIP was associated with AF, inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers, and cardiac structural changes. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a population-based, prospective cohort
A new study combining high-speed video recordings and computational modeling has revealed an overlooked feature of the famous honeybee waggle dance, yielding the first biologically plausible neural circuit model of how the information transmitted via the waggle dance could be assimilated by the follower bees.
Landau cavities used to lengthen the bunches in storage rings necessarily constitute a significant impedance. Because of the particular phase of the field required for bunch lengthening, they are often detuned quite considerably from resonance, more so than the main cavities. As a result, their impedance can excite the first coupled-bunch mode such that it becomes unstable. This phenomenon has pre
Many crimes build on the ability to blend into the scenery of everyday life—to become part of people’s regular routines, but with clandestine intentions. “Criminals,” in other words, often have an impressive anthropological capability. They are not just good at stealing stuff or cheating people. To commit a crime, they must first have a detailed understanding of the way people behave and live. The
Wall-bounded turbulence is relevant for many engineering and natural science applications, yet there are still aspects of its underlying physics that are not fully understood, particularly at high Reynolds numbers. In this study, we investigate fully developed turbulent pipe flows at moderate-to-high friction velocity Reynolds numbers ( 361 ≤ R e τ ≤ 2000 ), corresponding to bulk velocity-based Re
Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess associations between intake of combined soft drinks (sugar sweetened and artificially sweetened) and fruit and vegetable juices and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic bile duct (IHBC) and biliary tract cancers (GBTC) using data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort of 477,206 participants from
In order to keep up with the constant demand for higher data rates, the fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) introduced the use of mm-wave carrier frequencies from 24 to 71 GHz. Plenty of new frequency spectrum then became available, which has allowed for channel bandwidths of several hundreds of MHz. 6G is projected to continue this trend with even higher carrier frequencies and wider ba
Since time immemorial, humans have been trying to answer questions about many phenomena, especially those related to health, by creating numerous imaginary questions. One of these common questions relates to the existence of huge numbers of small organisms that live with humans, and whose number inside the human body is a thousand times greater than outside it. Today, many scientists consider all
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are a type of emerging solvent that are gaining in popularity for their versatile and adjustable properties, and components that can be safe, biodegradable and sustainably sourced. Here we investigate the interactions that give rise to their unique properties.The first paper looks at the question of how chirality in a component effects the DES structure. Many DES compo
BackgroundChildren and adolescents treated for a brain tumor suffer from more fatigue than survivors of other types of childhood cancer. As tumor location might be predictive of fatigue, our aim was to investigate the longitudinal development of fatigue in children with brain tumors and risk factors for fatigue separately for different tumor locations.MethodsFatigue was assessed 1235 times for 425
CO2 management, capturing CO2 from industry processes or removing CO2 from the atmosphere, is increasingly presented as a necessity for climate. Scandinavian countries are at the forefront of developing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. We reviewed the scientific literature on CCS in Scandinavia to identify and analyse prevalent imaginaries for the role of this technology in the region.
During recent years, research on authenticated encryption has been thriving through two highly active and practice-motivated research directions: provably secure leakage-resilience schemes and key- or context-commitment security. However, the intersection of both fields had been overlooked until very recently. In ToSC 1/2024, Struck and Weish\"aupl studied generic compositions of Encryption scheme
Luminescence properties of undoped Li6Y(BO3)3 (LYB) crystals grown by the Bridgman method as well as undoped and praseodymium doped LYB crystals grown by the Czochralski method were studied under excitation by ultraviolet light, synchrotron radiation and electron beam in the temperature region of 5–300 K. The emission bands peaking at 4.8, 3.76 and 2.95 eV were found in undoped Czochralski-grown c
In Amazonia, interfluvial groups such as the Naduhup (Makú) peoples of the northwest Amazon have tended to be less visible than riverine peoples in the historical record, but are also more likely to maintain their cultural and linguistic identity over time. Hence the languages of these groups may offer insights into Indigenous histories that have otherwise been largely overlooked or obliterated. L
In this study, we examine the way access to welfare provision for migrants is articulated discursively among three right-of-center parties in Sweden. For this, we suggest two theoretical advances. First, deploying the concept of the right-wing continuum, we highlight the gradual and reciprocal alignment between mainstream right-of-center and radical-right populist parties. Second, by resorting to
Argonauts of industry: Knowledge gathering and technologies in use in Sweden’s industrial breakthroughIn this article we explore how knowledge transfer about industrial production and new technologies affected Sweden’s rapid industrialisation in the second half of the nineteenth century. Focusing on two case studies taken from the Swedish glass and gunpowder industries, we argue for the importanceArgonauts of industry: Knowledge gathering and technologies in use in Sweden’s industrial breakthroughIn this article we explore how knowledge transfer about industrial production and new technologies affected Sweden’s rapid industrialisation in the second half of the nineteenth century.

It is widely interpreted that there is a significant link between climate cooling at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition(EOT; ~34 Ma) and subsequent diatom proliferation in the world’s oceans during the mid to late Cenozoic. Yet,our understanding of biogenic silica flux through the EOT interval is based on limited data from a few sites, andthere are many complications in making a meaningful comparison
