Climate change has intensified the mobility of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from land into aquatic ecosystems leading to increased brownification and hypoxia. Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer a potential mitigation strategy, yet optimal wetland design and water residence time (WRT) with respect to DOM removal remains underexplored. This study evaluates the effects of shallow and deep CWs on the
Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) infection and soluble egg antigens (SEA) can induce various immune responses, including the generation of IL-10-producing regulatory B cells (Bregs). This study investigated the dynamic changes and induction mechanisms of Bregs during S. japonicum infection. We demonstrated that CD19+IL-10+Bregs and CD19+Tim-1+ Bregs secreting IL-10 gradually increased from 6 t
Aqueous solutions are crucial in chemistry, biology, environmental science, and technology. The chemistry of solutes is influenced by the surrounding solvation shell of water molecules, which have different chemical properties than bulk water due to their different electronic and geometric structure. It is experimentally challenging to selectively investigate this property-determining electronic a
This paper studies a frictional search and matching market with transferable utility while relaxing the assumption of rational expectations. This is done by introducing bounded rationality in the form of analogy-based expectations equilibrium. I find that boundedly rational agents underestimate their prospects on the market. Consequently, they become impatient and willing to accept a larger set of
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a rapidly growing neurosurgical condition, driven primarily by an aging population and the increasing use of antithrombotic medications. Approximately 25% of CSDH patients are on anticoagulants due to atrial fibrillation (AF). The postoperative management of these patients presents a significant clinical challenge, as clinicians must balance the risk
Background: Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for optimal treatment planning of prostate cancer. By combining functional and anatomical imaging, PSMA-PET/mpMRI offers a potential to improve lesion detection and enhance staging accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of lesion detection and local staging of prostate cancer using combined PSMA-PET/mpMRI compared
BACKGROUND: Sexual violence against older adults in humanitarian settings is poorly documented, leading to gaps in prevention and delivery of support services. This study aimed to document differences in assault characteristics between younger and older adults, by sex and displacement and disability status and region. METHODS: This retrospective, descriptive observational, multi-country study incl
Abstract in UkraineІнтелігенція привласнює собі право говорити від імені всієї нації та екстраполювати на неї власні смаки, цінності й вподобання. Тому голоси інтелігенції багато в чому були визначальними в дискусіях про українську національну ідентичність, які набули імпульсу в пострадянському українському суспільстві. Історичний і культурний міський ландшафт Львова є особливо придатним місцем длIntelligentsia assumes the right to speak in the name of the entire nation and to extrapolate its own tastes, values and choices to it. Therefore, intelligentsia’s voices have been in many ways decisive in the discussions about Ukrainian national identity, which gained momentum in the post-Soviet Ukrainian society. The historical and cultural cityscape of L’viv is an especially apt site for invest
Background:Aseptic loosening remains a main complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), requiring revision surgery. Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) can assess the risk of aseptic loosening. This study evaluated the migration and segmental motion of cemented and uncemented femoral and asymmetrical tibial Persona components (Zimmer Biomet) with model-based RSA.Methods:We conducted a rando
Once surface active colloids, such as microgels, adsorb to an interface, they modify the viscoelastic properties of the interface. In contrast to what happens in bulk, the elastic properties have a non-monotonic dependence on the generalized area fraction. In this study, we describe this phenomena by performing molecular dynamic simulations of effective pair potentials in two dimensions. Our poten
This op-ed urges the Swedish government and the EU to stand decisively with the Iranian people amid nationwide protests driven by economic collapse and decades of repression. The authors argue that the movement reflects a unified demand for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and growing support for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as a legitimate, unifying voice for a democratic transition toward a se
