Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are gaining global attention as a sustainable transportation solution, yet their adoption in emerging South Asian economies remains limited. This study addresses the research gap by identifying and prioritizing barriers to FCEV adoption in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, regions underrepresented in existing literature. A hybrid methodology integrating Explorato
Vital to the economy, culture and landscape of many regions around the world, the olive sector faces significant challenges, including rising production costs, labour shortages, climate change impacts, water scarcity, quality control issues and market demands for transparency and authenticity. Digital and other Industry 4.0 technologies offer transformative potential to address these pressures. Th
How we teach is strongly influenced by the culture we teach in, especially what (we believe) our colleagues think is good and acceptable. Understanding the reluctance to changes in teaching practice, including fear of disapproval from colleagues and students, investigating and reappraising those fears, and starting to talk about alternative interpretations is a first step towards overcoming the in
Precise knowledge of the temperature during cutting processes is of high interest as the temperature of a cutting tool dictates the performance, and for the workpiece it controls the quality and integrity of the generated surface. For the first time, in this study, a novel technique has been developed utilizing phosphor thermometry for 2D surface temperature measurement of a cutting tool in metal
ObjectivesSexual satisfaction is a crucial part of sexual health and is positively related to well-being and quality of life. However, there are at present no composite measures of sexual satisfaction available in Swedish. The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale – Short form (NSSS-S) is a measure of sexual satisfaction that has been validated in multiple languages, and the aim of the present study is toObjectivesSexual satisfaction is a crucial part of sexual health and is positively related to well-being and quality of life.

Although high-level evidence is currently lacking, noninferiority randomised controlled trials in predefined risk groups in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer are under way to scientifically prove the safety of urinary biomarker-guided follow-up. To facilitate recommendations for clinical use, it is essential to comply with the EU certification for in vitro diagnostics and to demonstrate cost effe
The study aimed to investigate if primary health care centers (PHCCs) offering nurse-managed hypertensive care differ from PHCCs with other types of hypertension care regarding blood pressure levels and other key indicators. In this cross-sectional study of the hypertension care given in PHCCs in Stockholm County (now called Region Stockholm), we included all 227 PHCCs in the region. To assess the
Cheaper and more sustainable batteries are key to decarbonize the global energy system, and sodium-ion batteries that use far fewer critical materials are an important option. Research now shows that rapidly improving techno-economics of sodium-ion batteries could soon make them competitive with lithium-ion phosphate batteries under a range of scenarios.
In the Comment by Goletti et al. [Phys. Rev. B 111, 117301 (2025)10.1103/PhysRevB.111.117301], concerns are raised regarding the interpretation of our experimental findings, as well as the application of basic ground-state density functional theory (DFT) models pertaining to the C(111)-(2×1) surface presented in our earlier publication [Reed et al., Phys. Rev. B 105, 205304 (2022)2469-995010.1103/
Aims: The high mortality in untreated acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) stresses the need for prompt diagnosis and immediate surgical treatment. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency and clinical impact of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of ATAAD. Methods and results: This was a single-centre, retrospective, observational study including all ATAAD patients with available admission charts b
α-Synuclein is a synaptic protein that accumulates primarily in synucleinopathies and secondarily in certain lysosomal storage disorders. However, its physiological roles in health and disease are not fully understood. In part, this has been hampered by the inability to visualize α-synuclein and its cellular localization, due to the lack of specific antibodies and faithful reporters. Here, we used
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a type-3 intermediate filament protein mainly expressed in astrocytes in the central nervous system. Mutations in GFAP cause Alexander disease (AxD), a rare and fatal neurological disorder. How exactly mutant GFAP eventually leads to white and gray matter deterioration in AxD remains unknown. GFAP is known to be expressed also in neural precursor cells in
Under 2023 tilldelades Emma Pihl Skoog, lektor i arkivvetenskap vid Södertörns högskola, och Ann-Sofie Klareld, lektor i arkivvetenskap vid Lunds universitet, ett stipendium från Stiftelsen Riksarkivarie Ingvar Anderssons fond. Syftet var blandannat att färdigställa en forskningsartikel om arkivariers arbetsuppgifter och de kompetenser som efterfrågas i samtida platsannonser på Arbetsförmedlingens
Approaches to differentiating pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into neurons currently face two major challenges-(i) generated cells are immature, with limited functional properties; and (ii) cultures exhibit heterogeneous neuronal subtypes and maturation stages. Using lineage-determining transcription factors, we previously developed a single-step method to generate glutamatergic neurons from human P
We and others have shown that embryonic and neonatal fibroblasts can be directly converted into induced neuronal (iN) cells with mature functional properties. Reprogramming of fibroblasts from adult and aged mice, however, has not yet been explored in detail. The ability to generate fully functional iN cells from aged organisms will be particularly important for in vitro modeling of diseases of ol
We recently showed that defined sets of transcription factors are sufficient to convert mouse and human fibroblasts directly into cells resembling functional neurons, referred to as "induced neuronal"(iN) cells. For some applications however, it would be desirable to convert fibroblasts into proliferative neural precursor cells (NPCs) instead of neurons. We hypothesized that NPC-like cells may be
