Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) ponds are widely used to enhance groundwater, but efficiency is limited by uncertain infiltration pathways, heterogeneous sediments, and surface clogging. Understanding infiltration responses to variable inflow and evolving subsurface conditions is essential for optimizing pond performance. This study applied an automated multielectrode Direct Current Resistivity and

This article contributes to literatures on local governments and just transitions by presenting a human rights–grounded framework for just transition and applying it to local governments. The framework holds that individuals have justified claims to protection of their most essential interests when those interests are threatened by climate policies, and it identifies four core responsibilities for

Background Completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is often recommended for patients with isolated tumour cells (ITCs) or micrometastases in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) or target lymph node (TLN) to assess the definite nodal tumour burden after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The aim of this study was to investigate the upgrade of N stage by cALND in patients with low-volume metastase

In epidemiological studies, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and bi-directional summary-level Mendelian randomization (

Autocracies have increasingly begun to clothe themselves in the guise of hybrid, semi-official institutions that exhibit a degree of autonomy from the state, such as Government-Organized NGOs (GONGOs), “zombie” election observers, regime-run think tanks, astroturfing, or semi-official state-mobilized movements (SMMs). Existing literature has analyzed hybrid institutions as products of their functi

Nepal ligger i ett av världens mest jordbävningsutsatta områden, och jordbävningen i Gorkha 2015 visade tydligt hur sårbara murverksbyggnader utan ingenjörsmässig dimensionering kan vara. I återuppbyggnadsarbetet har interlocking Compressed Sta- bilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) lyfts fram som ett möjligt alternativ till traditionellt murverk av bränt lertegel. Detta eftersom systemet både kan vara mer Nepal is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of non-engineered masonry buildings. In the reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, interlocking Com- pressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) have been highlighted as a potentially more seismically robust and at the same time more sustainable al

The first measurement of the e+e− pair production at midrapidity and low invariant mass in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The yield of e+e− pairs is compared with a cocktail of expected hadronic decay contributions in the invariant mass (mee) and pair transverse momentum (pT,ee) ranges mee < 3.5 GeV/c2 and pT,ee < 8 GeV/c. For 0.18 < mee < 0.

Introduction: Treatment strategies for endometriosis have traditionally been biomedical. There is a need for a more multidimensional understanding of endometriosis and more targeted and individualized treatment interventions, including psychological approaches. Methods: The aims of this study were twofold: (1) to identify key biopsychosocial characteristics in individuals attending a tertiary clin

Background Sweden’s National Strategy for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) emphasises equitable access to contraception and abortion services. Despite this, immigrant women in Sweden experience lower contraceptive use and higher rates of unintended pregnancies and abortions compared with native-born women. Midwives, as primary providers of contraceptive counselling and prescribing,

In this chapter, we describe the city of Gothenburg in the first half of the twentieth century. The chapter is mainly based on reviews of official statistics and previous research, and starts with an account of how the size and composition of Gothenburg’s population changed. We establish that the city doubled in population between 1910 and the end of the Second World War, partly as a consequence o

We present the first forward-rapidity measurements of elliptic anisotropy of open-heavy-flavor muons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurements are based on data samples of Au + Au collisions at √ sNN = 200GeV collected by the PHENIX experiment in 2014 and 2016 with integrated luminosity of 14.5nb−1. The measurements are performed in the pseudorapidity range 1.2 < |η| < 2 and cover t

The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured low-mass vector-meson (ω + ρ and φ) production through the dimuon decay channel at forward rapidity (1.2 < |y| < 2.2) in p + p and Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The low-mass vector-meson yield and nuclear-modification factor were measured as a function of the average number of participating nucleons, ‹Npart›, and the

This paper reports measurements of the transverse energy per unit pseudorapidity (dET/dη) produced in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV, performed with the sPHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The results cover the pseudorapidity range |η| < 1.1 and constitute the first such measurement performed using a hadronic calorimeter at RHIC. Measurements of dET/dη are presented

The first measurement at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) of the production yield of the strange-charm baryons and as a function of transverse momentum (pT) in different charged-particle multiplicity classes in proton-proton collisions at TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC is reported. The baryon is reconstructed via the decay channel in the range 4 < pT< 12 GeV/c, while the baryon is reconstructed v

In this chapter, we investigate income differentials across the life cycle at the individual and household levels. The main contribution is to compile basic patterns of age–earnings relationships by sex, occupation and family situation. At the individual level we find age–earnings patterns similar to those observed for the period following the Second World War, for example in the seminal works of

α-Synuclein (αSyn) is a neuronal protein predominantly found at the synapse, involved in vesicle trafficking. αSynaggregates are also the main component of Lewy bodies, the hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease. Interactions between the N- and Cterminiof αSyn play crucial roles in its behavior in solution, membrane binding, and aggregation.

Economic policy instruments are commonly used to address environmental problems. This study examines the historical development of the carbon tax in Sweden. By using the concept of epistemic culture, this study shows how carbon emissions, rather than energy use alone, emerged as an object of taxation. While the leading politicians saw the carbon tax as an innovative instrument for demonstrating cl

Reference pollen data for use in interpreting fossil pollen assemblages may be either collected as surface samples or monitored by means of pollen traps. Surface samples can be obtained from moss polsters or lake-surface sediment, or exceptionally soil, leaf litter, or snow. The advantage of such samples is that a large number can be collected relatively quickly. Within the resulting pollen assemb
