A brief presentation of a snapshot hymenopteran inventory of Stora Karlsö, Gotland, carried out in 2023. This was a follow-up inventory of another snapshot inventory done by Stigenberg et al. in 2014.

The HIBEAM-NNBAR program is a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source focusing on searches for baryon number violation processes as well as ultralight dark matter. This paper presents recent advancements in computing and simulation, including machine learning for event selection, fast parametric simulations for detector studies, and detailed modeling of the time projection

IntroductionThe pulp and paper industry is one of the most significant industrial sectors globally. Current pulp mills primarily focus on producing pulp fibers and electricity. By transforming traditional pulp mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries, they can become a cornerstone of a future circular bioeconomy. To achieve this, pulp mills must close their process loops and, in addition to fiber

We present a method for reweighting flavor selection in the Lund string fragmentation model. This is the process of calculating and applying event weights enabling fast and exact variation of hadronization parameters on pre-generated event samples. The procedure is post hoc, requiring only a small amount of additional information stored per event, and allowing for efficient estimation of hadroniza

Haploblocks are regions of the genome that coalesce to an ancestor as a single unit. Differentiated haplotypes in these regions can result from the accumulation of mutational differences in low-recombination chromosomal regions, especially when selective sweeps occur within geographically structured populations. We introduce a method to identify large well-differentiated haploblock regions (LHBRs)

Negative-parity excited states of doubly even nuclei have earlier been attributed to vibrational excitations. This paper shows that an interpretation starting from a reflection asymmetric intrinsic state is more appropriate for certain nuclei in the radium region. Theoretical evidence for stable octupole deformation comes from a deformed shell-model calculation in which we use a single-particle po

Phosphorene, a 2D allotrope of phosphorus, is technologically very appealing because of its semiconducting properties and narrow bandgap. Further reduction of the phosphorene dimensionality may spawn exotic properties of its electronic structure, including lateral quantum confinement and topological edge states. It is demonstrated that dispersions measured along and perpendicular to the phosphoren

Product development faces increasing challenges in today’s fast-evolving environment. Agile has emerged as a promising approach to navigate and succeed under such conditions. Grounded in the values and principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, practitioners have designed agile frameworks and practices that have demonstrated significant benefits in software development. Motivated

The striped p × √3 reconstruction of Au(111) is a textbook example of how electrode surfaces reorganise in response to an applied potential. Using in situ high-energy surface X-ray diffraction, we track the surface reconstruction in 0.1 M HClO4electrolyte while the potential is cycled at both 5 mV s−1and 2 mV s−1between 0.06 V and 0.86 V versus RHE. Reciprocal-space maps, collected every ∼10 s, sh

Although spatial resolution in fluorescence microscopy and related fields has advanced to the nanometer scale, time resolution has remained essentially unchanged and is set by the camera system’s imaging time. Yet adequate time resolution is crucial for information acquisition about, for instance, dynamical processes in cells. This acquisition typically proceeds by analyzing biomolecular trajector

The rise in milk adulteration and contamination, fraud incidents and improper handling necessitates effective traceability systems in the Indian dairy industry. Thus, this review investigates current trends, associated challenges, traceability and its fundamental applications to address food safety and quality issues. The paper covers the evolution of milk adulteration and contamination detection

The androgen receptor (AR) is the central determinant of prostate tissue identity and differentiation, controlling normal, growth-suppressive prostate-specific gene expression 1 . It is also a key driver of prostate tumorigenesis, becoming "hijacked" to drive oncogenic transcription 2-5 . However, the regulatory elements determining the execution of the growth suppressive AR transcriptional progra

The downscaling of environmental responsibilities poses new challenges for regional governments, necessitating an evolution in their roles to manage environmental policy alongside traditional local development duties. This paper draws on the concept of the entrepreneurial state and on the idea of the ‘entrepreneurial region’ to explore how local and regional governments implement bioeconomy polici

Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable and polygenic, influenced by environmental factors and often comorbid. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) through consortium efforts have identified genetic risk loci and revealed the underlying biology of psychiatric disorders and traits. However, over 85% of psychiatric GWAS participants are of European ancestry, limiting the applicabil

Alzheimer’s disease is a complex and multifactorial disease characterized by two key pathological hallmarks: amyloid-beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. Recent progress has led to the development and approval of disease-targeted therapies for Alzheimer’s disease in the form of anti-amyloid-beta monoclonal antibodies. However, findings suggest that amelioration of multiple pathological dr
