In this blog, Jason Tucker, Associate Senior Lecturer at Malmö University, challenges the ways in which the international community programmatically engages with stateless refugees. Drawing on his research investigating the governance of stateless refugees, Jason argues that the statelessness of stateless refugees is systematically and chronically under-valued, sometimes with devastating consequen
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have shown promise in cancer therapy, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but their molecular targets and mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that SSRIs exhibit significant anti-HCC effects independent of their classical target, the serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT). Using global inverse gene expression profiling, drug affinity
The aerobic oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is catalysed by the Mo/Cu-containing CO-dehydrogenase enzyme in the soil bacterium Oligotropha carboxidovorans, enabling the organism to grow on the small gas molecule as carbon and energy source. It was shown experimentally that silver can be substituted for copper in the active site of Mo/Cu CODH to yield a functional enzyme. In this stu
European ecosystems have been subject to extensive shifts in anthropogenic disturbance, primarily through atmospheric deposition, climate change, and land management. These changes have altered the macronutrient composition of aquatic systems, with widespread increases in organic carbon (C), and declines in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Less well known is how these disturbances have affected nu
Impact cratering is associated with extreme physical conditions with temperatures and pressures far exceeding conditions otherwise prevailing at the surfaces of terrestrial planets. As a consequence, shock-metamorphosed rocks contain unique deformation features such as planar deformation features in quartz, high-pressure mineral polymorphs and melted rock. While the physical conditions of formatio
This special issue contributes to the emerging research field of religion and populism in contemporary media contexts. With a shared focus on how Protestant Nordic contexts align with populist practices in specific ways, the articles provide illustrative examples of how the entanglement between religion, populism and media needs to be taken into account when dealing with contemporary public and po
Globally we are facing a complex web of grand challenges that are impacting the lived environment, our development pathways, and wider quality of life. Urban environments serve as a key context around which these grand challenges are not only experienced while also providing multiple opportunities to reduce environmental impacts and resource consumption; improve health outcomes; eradicate poverty;
Pseudomonas aeruginosa arylsulfatase (PAS) is a bacterial sulfatase capable of hydrolyzing a range of sulfate esters. Recently, it has been demonstrated to also show very high proficiency for phosphate ester hydrolysis. Such proficient catalytic promiscuity is significant, as promiscuity has been suggested to play an important role in enzyme evolution. Additionally, a comparative study of the hydr
This article examines the narratives associated with the “Shekou Model” in China’s development of the Hambantota International Port in Sri Lanka. Through a dual narrative analysis and policy evaluation approach utilizing official Chinese and Sri Lankan statements, it examines the motivations of the Chinese Communist Party and the China Merchants Group in “selling” the Shekou Model and how Sri Lank
Purpose: To investigate long-term chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP), QoL and recurrence in patients with a primary inguinal hernia comparing TEP to Lichtenstein. Material and methods: A questionnaire-based follow-up containing the Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (IPQ), the Cunningham Pain Scale and SF-36 was done 8 years after the TEPLICH RCT. The main objective was non-ignorable pain last we
The circular economy (CE) transformative model depends on policy design and implementation in multiple socio-economic contexts. Temporal priorities based on security concerns can stimulate risk-averse circular policies that compromise achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12 for responsible consumption and production. However, the CE literature lacks empirical evidence on how these concerns affec
Aim: There is a knowledge gap regarding which patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs) are at highest risk of anorectal prolapse (AP), and which risk factors predispose to AP in ARM. The aims of the study were to define the frequency of AP after ARM reconstruction, and explore risk factors. Method: Data from the ARM-Net registry inserted between 2007 and 2023 were used. Inclusion criteria were
The required moment of inertia for steel plate girders is commonly provided by using relatively slender webs to achieve high strength-to-weight ratio. A large part of the shear capacity of such plate girders depends on the post-buckling reserve strength of the web panels due to the diagonal tension field mechanism. The effectiveness of the tension field significantly depends on geometrical and mec
