The impact of cyberbullying on mental health is a significant concern among adolescents, yet there is limited research on the neurophysiological markers of cyberbullying. This study aims to address this by exploring whether resting state electroencephalography (EEG) power, among traditional frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta), predicts cyberbullying experiences over time. Participants (N =

Iridescence refers to the optical property of surfaces for which the reflected wavelengths depend on viewing geometry. Although iridescence underlies some of the most striking animal colours, the sensory stimulation elicited by iridescent spectral shifts in relevant observers has seldom been explored. Wall lizards (genus Podarcis), with remarkable intraspecific colour variation and possible irides

Introduction: Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is increasingly used to measure obstruction in the airways; however, the association between airway obstruction and the actual symptom burden in asthma is not known. Therefore, we aimed to investigate central and peripheral airway obstruction, measured by FOT, in association to symptoms and quality of life in asthma. Methods: 319 asthma patients wer

This chapter presents a dual-purpose exploration of contemporary bibliotherapy and Shared reading practices in Sweden and Finland, focusing on their expansion and trends. Drawing from existing Nordic literature and research, as well as interviews with practitioners, the first part offers an overview of these evolving practices. This overview sets the stage for the second part, a dialogue with lite

This article elaborates on a technique for rapid real-time imaging of millimeter-wave (mmWave) power density over surfaces of several wavelengths in size. The approach involves using a screen-printed metasurface equipped with elements designed for absorption of mmWaves, along with an infrared (IR) camera to monitor temperature changes due to the absorption. By modulating the transmitted signal and

The ratio of branching ratios of the W boson to muons and electrons, RWμ/e=B(W→μν)/B(W→eν), has been measured using 140fb-1 of pp collision data at s=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, probing the universality of lepton couplings. The ratio is obtained from measurements of the tt¯ production cross-section in the ee, eμ and μμ dilepton final states. To reduce systematic uncertaint

This chapter introduces the theme of gendered knowledge production and proposes new understandings of epistemic agency, epistemic power and epistemic violence. These theoretical concepts are employed to critically approach the Women, Peace and Security agenda as a system of knowledge that comes with both possibilities and constraints. The chapter conceptualizes epistemic agency as embodied and nar

We here develop stable bidimensional magnetic nanoclusters (2D-MNCs) of iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) arranged in thin nanosheets of closed-packed nanocubes. The assembly occurs by means of a two-step approach: in the first one, the ionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), acts as a transient water transfer agent and as 2D clustering agent to induce formation of a monolayer of nanocubes arra

Loess-palaeosol sequences (LPS) and loess like sediments are considered as some of the most significant terrestrial archives of climatic change and past atmospheric mineral dust activity. While these LPS have been widely used to investigate the immense climate disruptions of the last glacial period, relatively little attention has been directed toward the climate variability during the Holocene. Th

Purpose: Although epilepsy has been reported in survivors of childhood cancer outside the central nervous system (CNS), little evidence exists on risk factors for this late complication. Our study aimed to identify risk factors of late-onset epilepsy. Methods: A case-cohort study was conducted within 5-year survivors of non-CNS childhood cancer from the Adult Life after Childhood Cancer in Scandin

An important tool for understanding the biology of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is molecular subtype classification. Molecular subtypes are qualitatively distinct biological entities that can be identified by molecular analysis of tumor tissue. This chapter describes how such entities have been discovered and described for MIBC and gives an overview of the characteristics that the luminal

Marketing is an important function and practice in everyday business. It involves getting potential customers interested in a product or service through value-oriented arguments. In this way, marketing plays a pivotal role in driving the consumption of goods and services. Given the increasing consumption of goods and services, decreasing product lifetimes, and increasing levels of waste in all pro

The primary aim of this study is to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and develop a land use map to support the sustainable management of water resources in the irrigated Tassaout perimeter of Tensift. This is achieved by combining a time series of high spatial resolution Sentinel-2 satellite images, meteorological data, and field data. The method is based on the relationships between normali

Electric vehicles (EVs) are vital for a decarbonized society, but the rapid growth of the EV market highlights an impending lithium supply crisis. This study integrates supply-demand analysis with trade network simulations, using eight lithium demand scenarios and two supply scenarios to examine regional lithium dynamics and the impact of international trade. Results show that while domestic lithi

Introduction: Multidrug resistance (MDR) has been identified in wound bacterial isolates from Ukrainian war victims treated in Ukraine and across Europe. ILP100, a drug candidate for the treatment of skin wounds, is composed of a Limosilactobacillus reuteri expressing human chemokine CXCL12. In this study, the antimicrobial effects of ILP100 were tested on MDR bacteria isolated from wounds of Ukra

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in ancestrally diverse populations are rapidly expanding, opening up unique opportunities for novel gene discoveries and increased utility of genetic findings in non-European individuals. A popular technique to identify putative causal variants at GWAS loci is via statistical fine-mapping. Despite tremendous efforts, fine-mapping remains a very challenging t

Pruritus is a frequent symptom in medicine. Population-based studies show that one in five persons in the general population has suffered from chronic pruritus (CP) at least once in their lifetime, with a 12-month incidence of 7%. CP, which can affect all age groups, is associated with numerous, often interdisciplinary medical conditions. It needs a precise diagnostic work-up to identify causes an
