Background: In Sweden 70,000 people suffer fragility fractures annually, including 16,000 hip fractures with one-year mortality of up to 25%. Strategies to prevent falls, improve physical function, and enhance bone strength have shown mixed results. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of hip and other fragility fractures following a fracture prevention intervention and assess baseline risk factors for

The transition to smart, wearable, and flexible optoelectronic devices that communicate with each other and perform neuromorphic computing at the edge, is a major goal in next-generation optoelectronics. These devices are expected to carry out their regular tasks while being supported by energy-efficient, in-memory computations. In this study, a lateral flexible device based on cesium lead tribrom

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that have fueled the hope for sustainable biofuel production since they enhance the breakdown of recalcitrant polysaccharides like cellulose. In the consensus mechanism, their catalytic activity relies on forming an ‘oxyl’, [CuO˙−]+, species at the active site, followed by subsequent hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) from the s

Theis essay offers an outline of classical modern reflection (sociology, cultural theory, literature) on the constitution and transformation of modernity, its cultural and mental dispositions. The discussion focuses on key themes and experiences of classical modernity: void, crisis and abundance. It is argued that classical modernity may be conceived as a conceptual archive of influential ideas onThe essay offers an outline of classical modern reflection (sociology, cultural theory, literature) on the constitution and transformation of modernity, its cultural and mental dispositions.

Natural salts are minerals formed through natural processes, generally consisting of complex mixtures of ions. In the atmosphere, natural salts are present as aerosol particles, originating from both marine and terrestrial sources. The interaction of these natural salt particles with trace gases, also termed ageing, can influence various atmospheric processes such as cloud properties or atmospheri

Aims Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with significant loss-of-life expectancy, particularly among younger females. Addressing risk factors is crucial for optimizing prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to describe the trends in risk factors and clinical outcomes in a nationwide cohort of young AMI patients stratified by sex. Methods and results Using Swedish registries,

Fragmentation refers to the plurality and differences among institutions in the contemporary, decentralized global governance system. Global sustainability governance is a prime example for fragmentation: lacking a central authority, sustainability governance is addressed by myriad institutions across international, national, regional and local spheres. This creates opportunities for synergies but

International organizations within and outside the United Nations system provide platforms for multilateral cooperation and give impulses for national policymaking to promote the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They set agendas, coordinate efforts across regions and countries, offer technical assistance and expertise, compile data and monitor progress and raise awarenes

Purpose: To examine the association between uncomplicated urinary tract infections and subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis in women. Materials and methods: We included 1,840,044 women without previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) or redeemed antidiabetic drugs. Results and conclusions: During the 12-year study period, women with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (cystitis and pyel

Phylogenies are central to many disciplines in biology. While disciplines such as systematics are focused on phylogenetic hypotheses themselves, other disciplines depend on robust and well-supported phylogenies in order to put biological data into evolutionary context through phylogenetic comparative studies. Examples of such fields are macroevolutionary research e.g. studying the evolution of a f

Legitimacy is a relational concept that refers to the perception that the actions undertaken by an actor or an institution are rightful and acceptable. In political terms, an actor enjoys legitimacy if the way it exercises its power is widely considered warranted. In the framework of a major global political process such as the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, legitim

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a highly influential financial international organization that will be vital for the success of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the IMF has been criticized by civil society actors for its negative impact on sustainable development, it is now focusing on supporting the SDGs. This support is particularly relevant when it comes to ensuring the

Responsibility refers to the obligations that an actor must fulfil. It can be allocated on the basis of different principles. Governments hold the main formal responsibility for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many other actors can also hold responsibility for accelerating SDG implementation. This is based on principles of closeness, capacity or having caused an out

Accountability is central for accelerating progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It means to hold powerful actors answerable for how they turn agreements into action. Governments, who hold the main responsibility for SDG implementation, can in the ideal case be held accountable by voters, parliaments, civil society, and the media, for how they address the SDGs.
