Sex chromosome evolution is characterized by Y/W degeneration and its consequences for selection on X/Z-linked recessive mutations in the heterogametic sex, yet how functional constraints modulate the evolutionary dynamics of Z–W gametologs remains poorly resolved. We addressed this question in larks (Alaudidae), a lineage carrying enlarged neo-sex chromosomes with multiple evolutionary strata for
Sex chromosomes are central to many ecological and evolutionary processes. Evidence has accumulated that sex chromosome systems vary extensively in age, turnover and transitions, motivating renewed efforts to study the diversity of sex chromosome systems across the tree of life. However, successful genomic detection of sex chromosomes depends on several factors, including the size and divergence t
The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for identification of impact structures and their related deposits, an
To explore the pattern of non-motor symptoms (NMS) and their fluctuations in dyskinetic patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). Exploratory post-hoc analyses of the multicenter NoMoFlu-PD cross-sectional study originally designed to study NMS fluctuations using clinical examination of key NMS quantified using a visual analogue scale (VAS; assessing 10 key NMS: dysphagia/choking, anxiety/p
Urbana experiment framställs ofta som motorer för innovation i städers utveckling. Men bakomvisionerna om nytänkande döljer sig en mer grundläggande fråga: hur görs osäkerhet och riskhanterbara i organisationer som samtidigt förväntas vara stabila, ansvarstagande och förutsägbara?Denna rapport argumenterar för att risk inte är ett hinder för urbana experiment – den är en centraldel av dem. Genom a
To address current unsustainable levels of consumption, scholars have increasingly turned to the concept of sufficiency, emphasising an absolute reduction in consumption levels as a pathway towards sustainability. However, the concept of sufficiency-oriented consumption remains theoretically underdeveloped and empirically fragmented. Existing research has generated valuable insights into specific To address current unsustainable levels of consumption, scholars have increasingly turned to the concept of sufficiency, emphasising an absolute reduction in consumption levels as a pathway towards sustainability.

Youth are increasingly regarded as key actors in climate politics. At the global level, youth participation is visible at the conferences of the parties (COPs) to the UNFCCC. While the number of youth participants has gradually increased, the structural dimensions of youth participation, especially their networks in international policymaking, remain underexplored. This article addresses this know
The current quest for new pathways into sustainable, efficient and durable energy conversion technologies makes the used for a fundamental understanding of the atomic-scale phenomena underlying catalytic processes ever more pressing. In this context, characterizing catalyst particles in situ provides valuable information about the evolution of their composition, structure, oxidation state and char
Background: Canine otitis externa (COE) is one of the most frequently recorded disorders in veterinary practices, making it an important focus for antibiotic stewardship. Hypothesis/Objectives: To investigate and compare treatment regimens for acute COE in Finland, Norway and Sweden, with a focus on antibiotic use. Animals: 1060 dogs with acute COE lasting for ≤ 4 weeks. Materials and Methods: Thi
This study investigates how reading proficiency in an orthographically opaque foreign language (L2 English) modulates word recognition and decoding strategies of Italian adolescents with and without developmental dyslexia (DD), whose native language orthography is highly transparent. The size of the visual and phonological units that are processed while reading is modulated by the orthographic dep
Background and purpose — Injuries after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be compensated through the National Swedish Patient Insurance Company (Löf). This study examined injury incidence, types, consequences, and subgroup differences in compensated claims following primary THA for osteoarthritis (OA) in Sweden over 10 years. Methods — Data from Löf and the Swedish Arthroplasty Register wer
Ni-based superalloys components are utilised in some of the most hostile engineering environments. The exceptional high-temperature performance of these alloys presents significant challenges during manufacturing. Machining is a critical process, enabling the precise shaping of forgings into functional components. During material removal, plastic deformation of the workpiece material and friction
Introduction: Mental health problems and suicidal ideation in children and adolescents are increasing and with this comes an increase in the suffering of families and parents, as well. Having a supportive family and being able to speak openly about dark thoughts is preventive, but this requires parents who are both supported and psychologically well themselves throughout the child′s suicidal perio
Humanity has long expressed itself through the arts, yet the recent surge of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked debate about its impact on human expression and connection. Situated at the nexus of concerns, hype and aspiration surrounding AI’s cultural implications, this article explores the evolving dynamics of artificial–human co-creativity in contemporary ‘science-fiction opera’, a sub-ge
As Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) adoption accelerates, systematic integration of explainability is imperative for reliability, transparency, and continuous quality assurance. This paper presents a scoping review examining how explainability is integrated across the MLOps lifecycle, encompassing data handling, model development, and deployment. Each phase is further analyzed through its subar
Over the past decade, circular strategies have been gaining momentum in the construction sector in an effort to reduce resource consumption, waste generation and environmental impacts. This transition requires not only changes in the construction process but also transformations in the constellation of actors involved. Previous research has mapped actors in circular construction and emphasised the
Introduction – Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention is a major public health priority. Text message interventions promoting a healthy lifestyle can contribute to improved blood pressure in patients with hypertension, however the effect on other metabolic outcomes and broader CVD risk factor control are less studied. We aimed to investigate the effect of health-promoting text messages on metabol
