The aDNA Revolution Moves Beyond Genetics

Ancient DNA has revolutionized the fields of archaeology and anthropology. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the field of kinship studies. This report provides a reflection on a recent workshop focused on exploring non-biological kinship in light of recent aDNA research. It presents a summary of reflections by workshop participants that emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaborat

Overall outcome, functioning, and disability in older adults 3 to 14 years after traumatic brain injury

Background: Epidemiological studies show an increasing incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among people aged 65 years and older. Advances in neurointensive care have improved survival after TBI. There is a need for knowledge about long-term outcome after TBI among older survivors of TBI. Objective: To describe the overall outcome, long-term functioning, and disability of the participants in

Probabilistic model for predicting instantaneous structural deterioration due to earthquakes

Due to the relatively short duration of earthquakes, most studies simplify their impact on structures by considering the total effect of each event rather than modelling the instantaneous accumulation of damage during the event itself. This approach may underestimate performance degradation, as incremental damage occurring during the shock can lead to an immediate reduction in capacity. Furthermor

Measurement of vector boson production cross sections and their ratios using pp collisions at s=13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Fiducial and total W± and Z boson cross sections, their ratios and the ratio of top-antitop-quark pair and W-boson fiducial cross sections are measured in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13.6 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 29 fb−1 of data collected in 2022 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measured fiducial cross-section values fo

Sanding a slippery genre : Making sense of the kappa in STEM

In this roundtable, we will discuss the role of the kappa, the framing text in a compilation thesis, in STEM doctoral education. Based on two runs of the new courseFraming your research – thesis frames and knowledge contribution for doctoral students at LTH and a focus group discussion with experienced examination committee members and supervisors, we argue that the kappa is an emergent genrestill

Innovation dynamics within makerspaces and fabrication laboratories (fablabs) : analysis and key themes from existing literature

Makerspaces and fabrication laboratories (fablabs) have received growing scholarly attention for their potential to advance innovation. These spaces provide individuals access to technological tools while enabling collaboration and community-building around technology-driven activities. Yet, existing research on how innovation unfolds within these settings remains fragmented. This paper reviews an

Long-term impact of acute knee injury with hemarthrosis : Osteoarthritis incidence and patient-reported outcomes in a large consecutive cohort over 12 years

Objective: To estimate the 12-year risk of radiographic and/or symptomatic knee osteoarthritis following different MRI-confirmed soft-tissue knee injuries. Design: Prospective cohort study including 814 (70 ​%) of 1129 consecutive patients after acute knee trauma with hemarthrosis in a single hospital. Injuries were classified by sub-acute knee MRI. Follow-up comprised bilateral knee radiography a

Comparative life cycle assessment of perennial and annual crop production : impact of farming systems and management practices

The Intermediate Wheatgrass (IWG) Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey, marketed under the trade name Kernza® has been tested in France with a group of farmers since 2017. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a recognized methodology to assess the potential environmental impacts and resources consumption associated with a production system. An attributional LCA following ISO 1404

Winters restrict a climate change–driven butterfly range expansion despite rapid evolution of seasonal timing traits

Climate change pushes species toward higher latitudes and altitudes, but the proximate drivers of range expansions vary, and it is unclear whether evolution facilitates climate change–induced range changes. In a temporally replicated field experiment, we trans-located wall brown butterflies (Lasiommata megera) descending from range interior and range margin populations to sites at 1) the range int

CLIP2 : a novel functional player in AQP5 trafficking dynamics and implications for Sjögren’s disease

Background: Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is an autoimmune condition affecting exocrine glands, resulting in decreased saliva and tear production. Aquaporin 5 (AQP5) is a transmembrane water channel playing a central role in water transport. In SjD, deregulation of AQP5 expression, trafficking and interactions with various proteins contribute to the underlying disease mechanisms. Methods: Co-immunopreci

Influence of Chloride and Electrolyte Stability on Passivation Layer Evolution at the Negative Electrode of Mg Batteries Revealed by operando EQCM-D

Rechargeable magnesium batteries are promising for future energy storage. However, among other challenges, their practical application is hindered by low coulombic efficiencies of magnesium plating and stripping. Fundamental processes such as the formation, structure, and stability of passivation layers and the influence of different electrolyte components on them are still not fully understood. I

Manipulating Horizontal Zn Deposition with Indium Salt Additive for Anode-Free Zn Batteries

Anode-free zinc batteries offer reduced weight and simplified production compared to traditional zinc metal batteries, but challenges such as dendrite formation and parasitic reactions limit their efficiency and cycle life. In this study, we present an effective strategy to form a zincophilic interphase in situ via indium co-deposition during cycling, using InCl3 as an electrolyte additive. Zinc p

Interfacial Chemistry in Aqueous Lithium-Ion Batteries : A Case Study of V2O5 in Dilute Aqueous Electrolytes

Aqueous lithium-ion batteries (ALIBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage systems because of the cost-effective, intrinsically safe, and environmentally friendly properties of aqueous electrolytes. Practical application is however impeded by interfacial side-reactions and the narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) of aqueous electrolytes. Even though higher electrolyte salt concent

Fully exploited imidazolium bromide for simultaneous resolution of cathode and anode challenges in zinc-bromine batteries

Aqueous zinc-bromine (Zn-Br2) batteries feature operational safety and high-energy and high-power densities, but suffer from polybromide dissolution in the cathode and the low reversibility of Zn metal in the anode. Here, we demonstrate that these challenges can be simultaneously tackled by using a fully exploited imidazolium bromide (MPIBr). An in-depth analysis demonstrates that MPIBr enhances b

An interweaving 3D ion-conductive network binder for high-loading and lean-electrolyte lithium-sulfur batteries

The binder plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and enhancing the conductivity of the electrode, although it accounts for a small weight fraction in the entire electrode. However, the conventional binder used in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries fails to effectively tackle the challenges posed by the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides, as well as the issues of poor conductivity and
