Indonesia faces a severe plastic pollution crisis driven by extensive plastic usage and inadequate waste management. To effectively address this issue and promote sustainable circularity, it is crucial to understand the dynamics of plastic production, use, and end-of-life management, as well as the interactions among stakeholders throughout the plastics lifecycle. Without such a comprehensive unde

The fate of the Fermi surface in bulk electron-doped Sr2IrO4 remains elusive, as does the origin and extension of its pseudogap phase. Here, we use high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate the electronic structure of Sr2−xLaxIrO4 up to x = 0.2, a factor of two higher than in previous work. We find that the antinodal pseudogap persists up to the highest dopin

Model-based design is an emerging tool for dealing with the uncertain dynamic loads entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). But our understanding about the load-driving population-dynamics is limited. Therefore, we studied if mobility data (mobile telecommunications data) could be used to reduce uncertainties during design. Mobility data from Uppsala, Sweden between 2019–2022 clearly quantif

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Europe, with myocardial infarction (MI) being one of its most severe manifestations. While many risk factors for CVD are well known, occupational exposures remain relatively understudied—especially in analyses that adjust for co-occurring workplace exposures. This study aimed to examine the association between occupational exposure to c

Cigarette smoke (CS), a major driver of lung cancer (LC), promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness resulting in metastasis, therapy resistance, and recurrence, but the precise mechanism is elusive. Building on our earlier identification of Runt related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2) and Galectin-3 (Gal-3) as mediators of CS-induced EMT, in this study, we aimed to identify a po

Background: Neoadjuvant therapy is protective of postoperative pancreatic fistula in pancreatoduodenectomy. However, the effect of neoadjuvant therapy after left pancreatectomy remains unclear. The aim of this international multicenter study was to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on short term outcomes after left pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Methods: Patients und

We study a class of radially symmetric Coulomb gas ensembles at inverse temperature β=2, for which the droplet consists of a number of concentric annuli, having at least one bounded “gap” G, i.e., a connected component of the complement of the droplet, which disconnects the droplet. Let n be the total number of particles. Among other things, we deduce fine asymptotics as n→∞ for the edge density a

It has been a century since the birth of philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-95). At his friend’s expense, Michel Foucault once joked, saying that un jour ce siecle sera peut-etre deleuzien: “perhaps one day this century will be known as Deleuzian?” Is there truth to the notion that the present moment expresses something of a “Deleuzian aeon” for the humanities, and what are its ramifications for bib

This study investigates the influence of osteoarthritis (OA) disease severity on the bio-composition of the osteochondral junction at the human tibial plateau using Raman microspectroscopy. We specifically aim to analyze the spatial composition of mineralized osteochondral tissues, i.e., calcified cartilage (CC) and subchondral bone plate (SBP) from unfixed, hydrated specimens. We hypothesize that

Objective: Mitochondria are involved in cellular metabolism, energy production, calcium homeostasis, and the synthesis of sterols and bile acids (BAs). Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrial dynamics including biogenesis, fusion, fission, and mitophagy critically influence cardiometabolic diseases, yet their role in atherogenesis remain poorly understood. Mitochondrial fusion ensures metabo

Background: Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) and Paleolithic Diet Score (PDS) are both measures of how closely a food intake conforms to a Paleolithic dietary pattern. PDF is calculated directly from an individual’s absolute food intake and PDS is an aggregated score based on an individual’s food intake relative to a population. Both are inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortal

Background/Aim: The TGF-β pathway can influence breast cancer progression and therapy efficacy, exhibiting both pro- and anti-tumoral effects. This study examined the impact of active TGF-β signaling on recurrence and radiotherapy (RT) benefit in early-stage breast cancer, using nuclear phosphorylated Smad2 (pSMAD2) as a marker for pathway activation. Methods: Tissue-microarrays from 1178 stage I-

This study’s aim is to shed some light on the topic of garden archaeology in Sweden. This is done by introducing the reader to the topic as a whole, with its methods and its history not only in Sweden. Garden Archaeology is a relatively new focus within archaeology and therefor in need of an introduction. The main focus is the concept of ideal versus reality in higher status gardens from the 1
