Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are one of the approaches to the regeneration of urban areas. These solutions are copied from, inspired by, or supported by nature. The solutions, ideally, result in multiple benefits to the society and environment. The examples of NBS measures for stormwater management are, including but not limited to, natural swale, retention ponds, and green roofs. Such measures ha
Anthropogenic activities, such as using fossil fuels for energy production, synthesizing carbon-based products, and employing nitrogen fertilizers to meet the ever-growing food demand, have drastically disrupted the planet's carbon and nitrogen cycles. These activities effectively lead to global warming, eutrophication, and NOx production. Hence, the world is in need of coming up with new sust
• Purpose: Controversy exists regarding the comparative efficacy of collagenase injection and percutaneous needle fasciotomy in the treatment of Dupuytren contracture. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that have compared the two treatment methods have reported results mostly implying similar treatment efficacy, durability, and complications. We aimed to review these RCTs regarding methodical
First published in The New Yorker magazine as a short story in January 2016, “1 = 1” addresses profound questions about what it means to swim in a large lake as a human and a non-human, terrestrial animal. The elliptic short story captures the central female character’s struggle with the rough waves of the lake during her morning swim and her subsequent observations as the ekphrastic commentator o
Biocompatibility studies, especially innate immunity induction, in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity, and fibrosis, are often lacking for many novel biomaterials including recombinant protein-based ones, such as elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), and has not been extensively explored in the scientific literature, in contrast to traditional biomaterials. Herein, we present the results from a set of ex
In September 2019, streets across the world filled with millions of children and youth demanding climate action, demonstrating the growing concern young people feel about their futures (Taylor, Watts, & Bartlett, 2019). However, protests are only one of the methods youths use to show their dissatisfaction with current climate change policies. Youth are also utilizing education, entrepreneurshi
Context. Intermediate mass galaxies, including the Milky Way, typically host both a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and a nuclear stellar cluster (NSC). Binary systems residing in an NSC evolve dynamically via frequent close encounters with surrounding stars and secular processes related to the SMBH. Aims. Although the evolution of very soft and very hard binaries can be predicted semi-analytically
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The association between dairy intake and dementia risk remains uncertain, especially for dairy products with varying fat contents. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between high-fat and low-fat dairy intake and dementia risk.METHODS: This study used data from a prospective cohort in Sweden, the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort, which consisted of commu
Introduction: Fatigue is a troublesome symptom after heart transplantation and is poorly studied in a long-term perspective. One hypothesis is that there is a strong relationship between fatigue, sleep problems, and self-efficacy, and that fatigue decreases self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to explore self-reported fatigue from the time on the waiting list to 5 years after heart transplanta
The first edition of the comprehensive diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was completed in 2023 after more than 130 years of work. In 2024, a revision project was initiated with the aim of creating a more balanced dictionary by modernizing the content and addressing the major shortcomings. Tis paper discusses the revision process and the challenges encountere
Tax incentives can be a policy instrument to fund the arts and culture. Such incentives must meet certain rules and principles, including, for EU Member States, EU requirements. In addition, various other aspects must be taken into account in the appreciation of tax incentives as a cultural funding instrument. This includes, on the one hand, notions of fairness, concerns about ‘philanthrocapitalis
The downstream process of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is expensive and significantly contributes to overall manufacturing costs. One primary reason is the extensive consumption of water and chemicals required for preparing large volumes of various buffers, essential for multiple chromatography and filtration steps. Reducing the water consumption in biopharmaceutical processes is critical to drive

Objective: The aim of this study was to clarify the role of ‘contagion’, or social transmission, in risk of suicidal behaviour (SB) among siblings. Methods: We followed Swedish sibling pairs until one of them (S1; N = 111,848) was registered for a suicide attempt or completion. We tested the effect of geographic proximity between siblings on risk of a first SB registration of S1's sibling (S2). To
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of statistically planar flames at moderate and high Karlovitz number (Ka) have been used to perform an a priori evaluation of a presumed-PDF model approach for filtered reaction rate in the framework of large eddy simulation (LES) for different LES filter sizes. The model is statistical and uses a presumed shape, based here on a beta-distribution, for the sub-gri
he surface structure of Bi(110) has been investigated by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity analysis and by first-principles calculations. Diffraction patterns at a sample temperature of 110 K and normal incidence reveal a bulk truncated (1×1) surface without indication of any structural reconstruction despite the presence of dangling bonds on the surface layer. Good agreement is obt
Specific molecular recognition materials are important in analytical applications. It has been a longstanding dream for scientific explorers to realise a versatile method to generate materials that can recognize biological and chemical substance of interests. Toward this goal, developing synthetic polymer materials, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is one of the most promising approaches. Esp
What is woman’s role in the modernist avant-garde? Feminist art historians have long criticised the dominant masculinity of modernism. The problem, as I see it, is the unreflecting way in which history is written, and the way in which women are squeezed into theoretic models that really only affirm, and cater primarily for, men. The German-Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) has been describe
Bog sites and wetland settlement during the Mesolithic: research from a bog in central Scania, southern Sweden The bogs Agerods Mosse and Ronneholms Mosse with their total area of 12 km(2), form a north-westerly arm of the Ringsjon Basin of central Scania, in the southernmost part of Sweden. In the 1940s and 1970s excavations of Early Mesolithic sites around and within the bog Agerods Mosse were c
