Despite extensive efforts through various international initiatives to reduce global warming, it has been determined that human induced climate change is here, that the present scale of disruption of the climate is unprecedented and will continue. Increasing weather volatility can be expected, which will most likely increase exposure to weather related hazards, e.g. wildfires, flooding.

Excess heat is generated from different industrial processes and from urban infrastructure (sewage water, transport, datacentres and buildings). Thirty-five percent of the European energy demand for heating and cooling could be met by excess heat. Today, however, this energy reserve is barely exploited. There are known barriers to excess heat recovery but limited information on stakeholder interac

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether a low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) protocol provides diagnostically acceptable image quality for assessing bone healing after alveolar bone grafting. Material and Methods: The study cohort comprised 11 patients (aged 7–14 years) with orofacial clefts who had undergone alveolar bone grafting at Skåne University Hospital in Ma

Finding direct records of the ancient Earth's atmosphere is key to understand the evolution of the entire planet. Nevertheless, such records are scarce, and only a few geological samples with preserved paleo-atmospheric signatures are available today. In this study, we analyzed noble gases contained in shocked granitic and volcanic rocks collected across the 380 Ma-old Siljan impact structure (in

Due to the fragility of the ophiuroid (brittle star) skeleton, the bulk of the group’s fossil record consists of dissociated ossicles preserved as microfossils. In spite of their great potential as basis for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies, however, ophiuroid ossicles from the Paleozoic have received very little attention so far. Here, we provide an exhaustive taxonomic assessment of such fossi

Background: International research demonstrates an association between arts and culture activities and health and wellbeing. A similar association exists for sports event attendance and health. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between arts and culture engagement and attending sports events during the past year and self-rated health (SRH). Methods: A cross-sectional study. A pu

Middle-aged adults engaging in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are at higher risk of chronic diseases. However, little is known about the co-occurrence of these behaviors and their determinants. This cohort study examined the co-occurrence of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (alcohol consumption, diet, physical inactivity, and smoking) in 30,154 middle-aged adults and their associations with sociodemog
