Future-Oriented Methodologies for Sustainability

Both in the social and natural sciences, methodologies have been developed to deal with relatively stable conditions, where findings can be validated based on past experiences. At a time when both social and natural phenomena are rapidly changing, new approaches are urgently needed to produce knowledge for systemic change, inform high-stakes decisions, and enable sustainability transitions in the

Farmland practices are driving bird population decline across Europe

Declines in European bird populations are reported for decades but the direct effect of major anthropogenic pressures on such declines remains unquantified. Causal relationships between pressures and bird population responses are difficult to identify as pressures interact at different spatial scales and responses vary among species. Here, we uncover direct relationships between population time-se

Animals of Ancient Kheny : The Rupestrian Collection

This paper presents an overview of animals depicted within the Swedish concession area of Gebel el-Silsila and Shatt el-Rigal, spanning the Prehistoric tothe early Islamic period. It includes commentaries on stylistic, technical andchronological phases of the rock art, and present an overview of distributionpatterns as well as a relative taxonomic morphology for the more frequentmotifs.

Structural Health Monitoring of Civil Infrastructures Using Smart Sensor Networks

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of structures by providing continuous information about damage or anomalies. Vibration-based SHM, which focuses on the dynamic behavior of structures, offers insights into structural conditions through changes in dynamic properties. Among SHM approaches, damage localization is crucial for pinpointing the geometric l

An ECG-based model to distinguish cardiac sarcoidosis from arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can show significant overlap in their clinical presentation. Differentiation between both is crucial for optimal patient management. Aim of this study is to develop an ECG-based machine learning model to distinguish between ARCV and CS patients. The study population included 100 patients (50 with ARCV and 50 with C

Introduction: The CVA24 antigenic variant is the causal agent of epidemics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis that has prevailed to date. To study the transmission dynamics and evolution of this variant, we molecularly characterized Cuban isolates obtained in 5 epidemic periods between 1986 and 2009. Methods: Using the BEAST v1.8.4 program, it was performed the phylogenetic and phylodynamic analy

Exertional breathlessness related to medical conditions in middle-aged people : the population-based SCAPIS study of more than 25,000 men and women

Background: Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of medical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the burden of breathlessness related to different medical conditions in a middle-aged population. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study of adults aged 50–64 years. Breathlessness (modified Medical Research Counci

Antibacterial Nanomaterials : Mechanisms, Impacts on Antimicrobial Resistance and Design Principles

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest threats to the environment and health. AMR rapidly invalidates conventional antibiotics, and antimicrobial nanomaterials have been increasingly explored as alternatives. Interestingly, several antimicrobial nanomaterials show AMR-independent antimicrobial effects without detectable new resistance and have therefore been suggested to prevent AMR

Continental-scale patterns in diel flight timing of high-altitude migratory insects

Many insects depend on high-altitude, migratory movements during part of their life cycle. The daily timing of these migratory movements is not random, e.g. many insect species show peak migratory flight activity at dawn, noon or dusk. These insects provide essential ecosystem services such as pollination but also contribute to crop damage. Quantifying the diel timing of their migratory flight and

Studies of the micro-bunching instability in multi-bunch operation at the ANKA storage ring

The test facility and synchrotron light source ANKA at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) operates in the energy range from 0.5 to 2.5 GeV and can generate brilliant coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the THz range employing a dedicated bunch length-reducing optic at 1.3 GeV beam energy. The high degree of spatial compression leads to complex longitudinal dynamics and to time evolvin

ComPOS: A DSL for Composing IoT Systems with Weak Connectivity

Future Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems need to combine heterogeneous IoT components and support weak connectivity. This paper introduces ComPOS, a domain-specific language for composing IoT services into systems. ComPOS is a small language but supports powerful message mediation, using stateful reactions with nested and parallel message sequences and anonymous futures. To deal with weak connectiv

Examining the surgical backlog due to COVID-19 in Latin America and the Caribbean : insights from a scoping review

This scoping review assessed the surgical backlog in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) due to COVID-19 and identified mitigation strategies. We searched seven databases for citations from December 2019 to December 2022, focusing on LAC patients with cancelled or postponed procedures. We registered our protocol at Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/x2nd8) and adhered to PRISMA-ScR guideline

The evolution and roadmap of the Taranta project

The Taranta1 project, a collaboration between the MAX IV Institute1 and Square Kilometre Array (SKAO)2 within the Tango3 Collaboration, presents a web-based, no-code approach for creating graphical interfaces dedicated to monitoring and controlling Tango-based systems. Through an active development phase and close collaboration with the community, the software has seen the introduction of advanced

Neighbourhood crime and major depression in Sweden: A national cohort study

Background: The association between neighbourhood crime and major depression (MD) has been described before but previous studies may be limited by biases in self-reported data and the use of homogenous study populations. Our study aimed to examine the association between neighbourhood crime and clinically diagnosed MD among the immigrant and non-immigrant populations in Sweden. Methods: A retrospe

Remote Structural Health Monitoring of Concrete Bridge Using InSAR : A Case Study

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) provides real-time information about structural damage and its evolution over time, which supports decision-makers in managing structural integrity. However, traditional SHM systems, such as vibration-based systems with accelerometers, require laborious installation and maintenance of instrumentation, including sensors, cables, and acquisition systems directly in

Vertical test results on ESS medium and high beta elliptical cavity prototypes equipped with helium tank

The ESS elliptical superconducting Linac consists of two types of 704.42 MHz cavities, medium and high beta, to accelerate the beam from 216 MeV (spoke cavity Linac) up to the final energy at 2 GeV. The last Linac optimization, called Optimus+[1], has been carried out taking into account the limitations of SRF cavity performance (field emission). The medium and high-beta parts of the Linac are com
