The construction sector contributes around 37 % of global CO2 emissions, highlighting the need for de-carbonization. Part of the emissions originate in the use of diesel-driven heavy equipment. Considering the fast pace of transitioning from fossil fuels to electricity in other vehicle sectors, this may be a possible path for heavy equipment, considering the introduction of electric heavy equipmen

Structured abstractPurposeThe purpose is to examine how academic researchers perceive the communication dynamics in virtual and hybrid conferences to gain access to communities of knowledge. The paper contributes to the research field of strategic communication.MethodologyUsing a qualitative, interpretive approach, purposive sampling was utilised to recruit a diverse group of researchers from Swed

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), targeting checkpoint receptors such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that PD-1 + T cells from murine atherosclerotic aortas mainly display a progenitor exhausted phenotype (PD-1 intSlamf6 +Tim3 -), produce IFNγ in vivo, exh

Recessive diseases arise when both copies of a gene are impacted by a damaging genetic variant. When a patient carries two potentially causal variants in a gene, accurate diagnosis requires determining that these variants occur on different copies of the chromosome (that is, are in trans) rather than on the same copy (that is, in cis). However, current approaches for determining phase, beyond pare

Inhibition of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is under increasing investigation for its therapeutic potential in many diseases. Existing AMPK inhibitors are however limited, with poor selectivity and substantial off-target effects. Here, we provide mechanistic insights and describe the cellular selectivity of the recently identified AMPK inhibitor BAY-3827. A 2.5-Å

This study protocol outlines the test evaluation of the design of a comprehensive Nordic hospital at home (HaH) digital education program entitled “the Nordic Digital Health and Education” program (NorDigHE). The NorDigHE program aims to prepare healthcare professionals for healthcare provision in a HaH context. The program, developed by a Nordic consortium, spans five modules over 3.5 weeks of fu

Research excellence instruments (REIs) are among the most popular types of research funding in several research systems, including the Global South. A significant proportion of REIs is intended to promote pathbreaking or groundbreaking contributions. Specific research outcomes can often be traced back to a given project’s scientific objectives, but projections about the impact on the field and the

There has been a growing interest in how workers in high-carbon industries are impacted by low-carbon transitions and how such transitions can be implemented in a way that is just. This study explores the socio-cultural dimensions of these processes, focusing on the role of identity in shaping workers’ perceptions of low-carbon transitions and their ability to navigate change. It does so through a

Background: Co-occurring substance use disorders, and mental disorders are associated with significant suffering, high risks of violent reoffending and relapse in both substance use and psychotic episodes. Treatment for co-occurring substance use disorders in forensic mental health settings would benefit from incorporating patients’ understanding of their disorders. Method: Using an interpretative

Background: The recently launched high-throughput assays for detecting antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 has contributed to the managing strategies for the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the performance of three high-throughput assays and one rapid lateral flow test relative to regulatory authorities' recommended criteria. Methods: A total of 315 samples, including 150 pre-pandemic

To meet future demands for cleaner water and comply with the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD), many European wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) will need quaternary treatment to reduce emissions of organic micropollutants (OMPs). Quaternary treatment based on granular activated carbon (GAC) is a promising solution, yet long-term, full-scale operational data remain scarce. This

Objectives: This study explores the dynamics of vaccine rumors during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those surrounding messenger RNA vaccines. By employing and developing Hallin’s communication model of credibility spheres, we analyze how controversial ideas regarding vaccine safety gained public attention and challenged established vaccine narratives. Methods: The focal point of the investig

Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs), which are specialised ambulances equipped with brain imaging devices and trained medical personnel, offer the potential for rapid on-site diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes in prehospital stroke care. To fully realise their benefits, it is essential to strategically allocate. However, identifying optimal locations within a region for MSU deployment is t

The causal role of pollinators in driving the divergence of plant traits is a fundamental tenet of angiosperm evolution, providing hallmark examples of evolution in response to natural selection. However, it remains unclear how geographic variation in pollinator assemblages relates to the divergence of pollination traits in pollination-generalized plants. We characterized pollinator assemblages th

Rising populations are placing significant strain on traditional waste management, prompting the need for circular systems in urban projects to recycle valuable nutrients from wastewater. Introducing a biorefinery framework, microalgae cultivation on digestate effluents produces pigments for natural dyes, reducing nutrient release and offering eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic products.
