Agriculture has been dominated by annual plants, such as all cereals and oilseeds, since the very beginning of civilization over 10,000 years ago. Annual plants are planted and uprooted every year which results in severe disturbance of the soil and disrupts ecosystem services. Science has shown that it is possible to domesticate completely new perennial grain crops, i.e. planted once and harvestedNon-technical summary:Agriculture has been dominated by annual plants, such as all cereals and oilseeds, since the very beginning of civilization over 10,000 years ago.

Objectives: Experimental and small human studies have indicated that high total adiponectin levels have beneficial cardiometabolic effects. In contrast, however, high total adiponectin levels are also associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in thoroughly adjusted epidemiological studies. To gain further insight into these seemingly contradictory results, we report results on

The Day the Books Took Off was a sited piece for the International English Library in Düsseldorf for the 'Stadtprojekt: Wenn die Häuser Trauer Tragen' - (When the Buildings Carry Grief) as part of Impulse Festival in 2018. The extension to the Wilhelm-Marx-Haus (one of the first skyscrapers in Europe when it was built in 1924) currently houses a number of public institutions, among them the Forum

Current genetic research on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) supports contributions to risk specifically from common single nucleotide variants (SNVs), along with rare coding SNVs and small insertion-deletions (indels). The contribution to OCD risk from rare copy number variants (CNVs), however, has not been formally assessed at a similar scale. Here we describe an analysis of rare CNVs called

AI-enabled technologies are developing rapidly, but the first wave of the Digit Employers’ Digital Practices at Work Survey (2021-22) showed that their use by firms is not yet widespread. This Data Commentary presents findings from the second wave of the Survey, conducted during 2023, based on responses from 1,150 firms.The findings show that adoption of AI-enabled technologies by UK firms remains

Objective: To overview and summarise the Swedish National Guidelines on Urothelial Carcinoma 2024. Methods: A narrative review of the updated guidelines was performed, highlighting new treatment recommendations for advanced and metastasized disease. Results: Compared to the previous guideline version, the current update includes recommendations for standardised radiological reporting when urotheli

Pathogenic bacterial infections lead to bacterial resistance and biofilm formation, causing significant suffering and presenting an urgent issue to be addressed. Polymer materials have garnered considerable attention in the antibacterial field due to their functional moldability and molecular structure designability. These materials can achieve various antibacterial functions by regulating their m

Fisheries exemplify the immense complexity of interactions in social-ecological systems (SESs). This complexity has created management challenges and raises concerns for the sustainability of our marine natural resource systems. This article contributes to SES fisheries research and management in two ways: first, it enhances our understanding of lobster fisheries as complex social-ecological syste

Aims The prevalence of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is rising due to improved paediatric care. In parallel, updated data on prognosis in adult life are needed. Objectives The aim was to calculate the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) and death rates in ACHD compared to the general population. Methods and results Data were obtained from the national register of congenital heart dise

BACKGROUND: The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is an extension of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthrtis Index (WOMAC), the most commonly used outcome instrument for assessment of patient-relevant treatment effects in osteoarthritis. KOOS was developed for younger and/or more active patients with knee injury and knee osteoarthritis and has in previous stud

Studies of language in children with mild-to-moderate hearing impairment ( HI) indicate that they often have problems in phonological shortterm memory (PSTM) and that they have linguistic weaknesses both in vocabulary and morphosyntax similar to children with specific language impairment (SLI). However, children with HI may be more likely than children with SLI to acquire typical language skills a

In the mid-1970s it was discovered that some man-made products destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere. This destruction leads to higher ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels at the surface of the Earth and can cause damage to ecosystems and to materials such as plastics. Itmay cause an increase in human diseases such as skin cancers and cataracts. The discovery of the role of the synthetic ozone-
