Introduction: Food systems strongly influence both human and planetary health. Unhealthy diets aremajor risk factors for chronic disease and mortality, while food production contributes substantially togreenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), and other negative environmental impacts. Adopting moresustainable dietary patterns, such as the EAT-Lancet diet, has been proposed as part of the solution, butuncer

Förlossningen är en omvälvande och minnesvärd livshändelse. Den nyblivnamammans fokus ligger på det nyfödda barnet, likaså vårdpersonalens. Enförlossning kan leda till allvarliga skador på bäckenbotten (pelvic floor, PF),ibland med komplikationer som inkontinens. Tyvärr förbises eller tonas dessaskador ofta ned – både av nyblivna mödrar och vårdgivare. I Sverige drabbasungefär 1–4% av kvinnor som Giving birth is a profound life event. Most of the time, mothers move their attention to their newborn, as do healthcare providers. Childbirth can cause severe pelvic floor (PF) injuries, potentially leading to complications, such as incontinence. Despite their impact, these injuries are often deprioritised or normalised—both by postpartum women and healthcare providers. In Sweden, 1–4% of women w

Surface-confined synthesis provides alternative reaction pathways to those utilized within solution-phase chemistry and offers a route to extended molecular architectures with nanoscale dimensions and fascinating magnetic, electronic, and catalytic properties. However, these reaction pathways can be complex multistep processes, containing multiple reactive intermediates. Optimizing the selectivity

As 6G networks evolve, offloading extended reality (XR) applications emerges as a key use case, leveraging reduced latency and edge processing to migrate computationally intensive tasks, such as rendering, from user devices to the network. This enables lower battery consumption and smaller device form factors in cellular environments.However, offloading incurs delays from network transmission and

Ensuring functional safety is crucial for the deployment of autonomous systems in real-life dynamic environments, as they must operate reliably and safely among humans. However, existing safety systems are designed with a closed-world assumption and can over-constrain the system by shutting down the robot at every safety violation, limiting the robot’s ability to complete its tasks. To address thi

Marketing and consumer research predominantly conceptualize inclusion and exclusion as dichotomous or merely coexisting, leaving their relationship undertheorized. This paper explores their dialectical interplay in market interactions through the experiences of migrant consumers. Drawing on Relational Dialectics Theory, we employ a contrapuntal methodological approach that integrates a semantic ne

The material properties of polycrystals are strongly affected by the evolution and coarsening of their internal grain structures. Yet, studying this process is challenging due to the complex interactions within grain boundary networks. Here, we systematically investigate the shrinkage of isolated loop-shaped grain boundaries in 2D colloidal crystals using a combination of simulations and experimen

The measurement of ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) yields as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity density, dNch/dη, using the ALICE experiment at the LHC, is reported in pp collisions at s= 13 TeV. The ϒ meson yields are measured at forward rapidity (2.5

Objective The aim of this study was to explore why patients with hard-to-heal ulcers are treated without an aetiological diagnosis, using a grounded theory approach. Design The study employed a qualitative semistructured interview design to gain in-depth insights. Data were collected in 2024, and an explanatory model was formed in accordance with grounded theory analysis. Setting Interviews were c

Avian malaria parasites pose a significant threat to conservation, affecting populations worldwide. Despite this, our understanding of factors influencing the transmission of avian Plasmodium parasites by vectors is limited to the study of mosquito immune responses. However, the complex life cycle of Plasmodium within the vector suggests that non-immune physiological and metabolic pathways may pla

Autosomal recessive types of both syndromic and non-syndromic inherited myopia are common in Saudi Arabia (SA) because many people marry their relatives. The prevalence of syndromic myopathies in SA, like Stickler syndrome (SS), Knobloch syndrome (KS), and Marfan syndrome (MFS), further complicates the disease spectrum. The causative genes linked to the Knobloch, Marfan, and Pierson syndromes are

Objective: Ampullary neoplastic lesions can be resected by endoscopic papillectomy (EP) or transduodenal surgical ampullectomy (TSA) while pancreaticoduodenectomy is reserved for more advanced lesions. We present the largest retrospective comparative study analysing EP and TSA. Design: Of all patients in the database, lesions with prior interventions, benign histology advanced malignancy (T2 and m

The birth prevalence of cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) varies globally, and regional differences have previously been observed within Sweden. Updated data on CL/P birth prevalence is needed and has been requested nationally and internationally. This study investigated regional differences and temporal trends in the birth prevalences of CL/P and specific cleft subtypes across Sweden’s six health ca

Near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging has received significant attention. However, it remains challenging to develop NIR emitters with a high brightness. Herein, we report a supramolecular approach to formulate NIR fluorescent molecular nanoparticles from cationic NIR fluorophores and cyanostar receptors using their charge-by-charge packing in small-molecule ionic isolation lattices (SMILES). F

Chemical communication using pheromones is crucial for the reproductive success of many insect species, including beetles(Coleoptera). Pheromones are detected by specialised odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), in the sensoryneurons of the antennae. The PRs in Coleoptera remain understudied, with only a few receptors being functionally characterised.This limits our understand

Extended Reality (XR) serves as a broad term that encompasses several immersive technologies, including Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). Currently, most XR devices are connected by cables, which restrict user mobility and negatively impact the overall Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. XR devices face limitations not only in terms of connectivity but also i

Background and purpose: The study aims to evaluate dosimetric properties of hypofractionated treatment plans integrating focal boost, using registered whole-mount histopathology (WMHP) as reference standard. Methods: Fifteen men from the PAMP trial (EudraCT: 2015-005046-55) were included. Participants had ≥ 1 ISUP Grade group ≥ 4 lesion and underwent [68Ga]prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)

Nestling feeding in altricial birds is a physiologically demanding phase of the annual cycle. Accordingly, parental effort in breeding songbirds has been suggested to be limited by the maximum capacity to perform sustained aerobic work. However, the maximum capacity for exercise and plasticity thereof is understudied in free-living, breeding songbirds. We tested two predictions related to the plas

Background Nurses constitute a central profession in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) team delivering comprehensive CR to individuals with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to identify specific components reflecting the nurses' role in the CR team associated with attainment of risk factor targets post myocardial infarction. Methods Center-level data (n = 78) was used from the Perfect-CR study, in wh
