The effect of climate change on tree growth in boreal forests is likely mediated by local climate conditions and species-specific responses that vary according to differences in traits. Here, we assess species-specific tree growth responses to climate along gradients of mean annual temperature and soil moisture. We assessed growth-climate relationships by using tree-ring width data in Norway spruc
Rheology aims at quantifying the response of materials to mechanical forcing. However, standard rheometers provide only global macroscopic quantities, such as viscoelastic moduli. They fail to capture the heterogeneous flow of soft amorphous materials at the mesoscopic scale, arising from the rearrangements of the microstructural elements, that must be accounted for to build predictive models. To
Single-cell and single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq) analyze cell-specific transcriptomes. However, only snRNA-seq applies to frozen biobanked samples. For human pancreatic islets, marker genes and reference-based cell type annotation methods are mainly from scRNA-seq datasets and may not be suitable for snRNA-seq. We compared human islet scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq data from the sam
For exploring forest performance in the future, dynamic vegetation models are important tools. Tree mortality is a crucial process in these models, but explicit representations of major agents of mortality have often been relatively underdeveloped. In needle-leaved forest in the temperate and boreal zones, bark beetles are often important for the mortality pattern. The European spruce bark beetle
Vad händer när en berättelse rör sig mellan olika uttrycksformer, från ord till bild, från ett språk till ett annat, från bok till film? Mellan ord och bild: Tolkningens retoriska vägar undersöker de kreativa och retoriska processer bakom denna omformning. Med frågor om översättning, adaption och illustration i fokus belyses hur nya betydelser och perspektiv uppstår genom dessa processer. Boken ut
Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespread following societal and environmental changes, with serious implications for public health and conservation efforts. Here, we performed a systematic review of 196 studies on biophobia, revealing a fr
BackgroundThe use of single-use laryngeal masks has increased in recent decades; yet, their climate and environmental impacts remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the climate impacts of reusable and single-use laryngeal masks.MethodsWe conducted a life cycle assessment that compared the reusable Ambu Aura40 with the single-use Ambu AuraStraight and Intersurgical Igel+ laryngeal ma
Objectives We aimed to describe clinical and diagnostic characteristics of primary care patients with heart failure and physicians’ adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for treating chronic heart failure. Design Cross-sectional study based on baseline data from the prospective primary care-based study Heart failure in Southern Sweden (HISS). Setting Patients with heart failure we
This psychometric study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) following a cardiac event, and to examine the relationship between self- and informant-ratings. Approximately 7 months post-cardiac event, 196 participants and their informants (N = 179) completed the DEX. Reliability was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency esThis psychometric study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) following a cardiac event, and to examine the relationship between self- and informant-ratings.

Changes in functional connectivity (FC) strength involving the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and posteromedial cortex (PMC) are related to early Alzheimer’s pathology and alterations in episodic memory performance in cognitively unimpaired older adults, but their dynamics remain unclear. We examined how longitudinal changes in FC involving MTL and PMC during resting-state, episodic memory encoding, a
The morphogenetic protein DivIVA exhibits diverse functions across bacterial phyla. In Bacillota, DivIVA is primarily involved in cell division, whereas in Actinomycetota, it plays a central role in coordinating polar growth. Due to its essentiality in Actinomycetota, gaining insight into its structural functions is challenging. We studied truncated DivIVA proteins using a unique divIVA deletion m
Background: The association between socioeconomic status (SES) and environmental burden is context-dependent. Those with low SES may be more likely to live near major roads and industries where environmental exposures are high but may also be more likely to live further away from city centers. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between SES and environmental burden in Sweden.
A search for R-parity-violating supersymmetry in final states with high jet multiplicity is presented. The search uses 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. The results are interpreted in the context of R-parity-violating supersymmetry models that feature prompt gluino-pair production decaying directly to
Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a major global healthcare challenge. This is, in part, due to the lack of treatment response and chronic course of MDD. Such a course of illness is often termed treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and is seen in over one-Third of people with MDD. Reasons for treatment resistance are not well established, nor is the definition of TRD. Duration and se
This study explores systems for recognizing and rewarding teaching excellence in higher education, where engagement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is considered an important merit. Nearly a decade ago, Fanghanel et al. (2016) identified the underutilized potential of teaching recognition as an institutional tool. More recently, Graham (2025) has documented a transformation in u
Measurements of inclusive charged-particle jet production in pp and p-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision sNN = 5.02 TeV and the corresponding nuclear modification factor RpPbchjet are presented, using data collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed in the central rapidity region |ηjet| < 0.5 from charged particles using the anti-kT algori
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent childhood cancer. Bone marrow (BM) fibrosis in ALL has been associated with adverse outcomes; however, little is known about the mechanisms that cause fibrosis in ALL. Therefore, we established a novel and advanced analysis method by combining multicolor immunofluorescence (IF) staining with in situ RNA expression analysis (RNAscope) to inve
Background: Alcohol intake increases recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but its relationship with cardiovascular outcomes is less well characterized. We aimed to study the association between different levels of alcohol intake and cardiovascular outcomes in a global cohort of patients with AF. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the RE-LY AF registry, including 15,400 patients with
