The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is challenging the world. With no vaccine and limited medical capacity to treat the disease, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPI) are the main strategy to contain the pandemic. Unprecedented global travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders are causing the most severe disruption of the global economy since World War II. With international travel bans affecting ov
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) are proteins that sample a heterogeneous ensemble of conformers in solution. An estimated 25-30% of all eukaryotic proteins belong to this class. In vivo, IDPs function under conditions that are highly crowded by other biological macromolecules. Previous research has highlighted that the presence of crowding agents can influence the conformational ensemble s
This article uses political psychology to understand emotions such as anger, hate, and passion in the Brexit debate in order to demonstrate the wider value of the political psychology of European integration. It uses five strands of political psychology to understand European integration, drawing on evidence from the Brexit debate. These strands are individual cognitive psychology, social psycholo
This chapter presents a socio-historical perspective on the origin and development of the Swedish school field and the teaching professions. With Bourdieu as a source of inspiration, the school field is defined as a system of specialized institutions and agents (church, state, academy, teachers’ unions) who, based on different interests and positions, compete for recognition and power to define th
Our knowledge of the recently described genus Eriastichus La Salle is greatly enhanced with the addition of 48 new species: E. acribis sp. nov., E. aphritis sp. nov., E. cluridis sp. nov., E. coelotis sp. nov., E. co-lenis sp. nov., E. copalensis sp. nov., E. daptilis sp. nov., E. decoris sp. nov., E. denotatis sp. nov., E. derilis sp. nov., E. diadrys sp. nov., E. dotaensis sp. nov., E. drupis sp
Accessible housing for the aging population is important, but large-scale reliable information on accessibility problems in ordinary housing is lacking. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of environmental barriers and analyze potential accessibility problems in the Swedish housing stock and to evaluate the validity and representativeness of housing data collected in a citizen science proj
En grön skolgård med många olika träd, buskar och blommor ger stora pedagogiska möjligheter, stärker den biologiska mångfalden, motverkar klimatförändringar och bidrar till barns hälsa och utveckling. Ändå är det idag få kommuner i landet som aktivt satsar på att utveckla skolgårdar med dessa kvaliteter. Finansiering av gröna skolgårdsprojekt behöver öka som en grund för en hållbar framtid!
Quantitatively identifying the impact of climatic and underlying surface condition changes on runoff is crucial for the efficient utilization of water resources and understanding hydroclimatic variability processes. This study aims to employ both Grid-RCCC-WBM model and Fu's equation based on Budyko hypothesis to quantitatively analyze the spatial patterns of runoff changes, driving forces, and up
The addition of metal intercalants into the van der Waals gaps of transition metal dichalcogenides has shown great promise as a method for controlling their functional properties. For example, chiral helimagnetic states, current-induced magnetization switching, and a giant valley-Zeeman effect have all been demonstrated, generating significant renewed interest in this materials family. Here, we pr
BACKGROUND: Although intensive blood pressure (BP) control has not been shown to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), intensive BP control has been shown to reduce the risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in the CKD population. The aim of this post-hoc study was to study the interplay between a self-monitoring BP system and glomerular function.METHODS: In all, 949 participants
INTRODUCTION: Tau-positron emission tomography (PET) outcome data of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) cannot currently be meaningfully compared or combined when different tracers are used due to differences in tracer properties, instrumentation, and methods of analysis. METHODS: Using head-to-head data from five cohorts with tau PET radiotracers designed to target tau deposition in AD, we te
The identification of susceptible dust sources (SDSs) based on the analysis of effective factors (i.e. dust drivers) is considered to be one of the primary and cost-effective solutions to deal with this phenomenon. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify SDSs and delineate their drivers using remote sensing data and machine learning (ML) algorithms in a hotspot area in the Lower Mesopotamian flo
Allegiance is a legal concept that seeks to regulate the duty of fidelity of individuals towards states. A particularity of allegiance is the fact that it has been repeatedly used in treaty provisions, as well as interpretation of rules, in the field of International Humanitarian Law. The fields in which it has been introduced are quite broad, from rules relating to Prisoner of War status, to defi
This paper discusses the role of fundamental rights in the EU’s legislation on digitalisation, with a particular focus on the proposed Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). As the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is receiving an increasingly prominent role in regulating the digital sphere in order to rectify the increasing challenges of a ‘wild West’ internet, the constitut
Background: Palliative care needs in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are expected to increase. For the planning of equitable palliative care, it is important to understand where people with CVD die. The aim was to examine trends in place of death, associated factors including utilization of specialized palliative services, and to what extent longitudinal development is influenced by na
This article traces publishing patterns in the Swedish humanities between 1840 and 1880; a period characterized by a new publishing regime yet bridging two dominant publication forms, the dissertation, and the disciplinary journal. Using the prominent historian Wilhelm Erik Svedelius as an entry point, the article charts how scholars in the humanities navigated the publishing landscape in a more d
Dragonflies are poikilothermic animals with limited thermoregulation; therefore, their entire bodies, including the brain, experience a range of temperatures during their daily activities.1,2 These flying insects exhibit hunting prowess, pursuing prey or conspecifics whether in direct sunlight or under the cover of cloud.3,4 Likely to underlie these aerobatic feats are the small target motion dete
Planetary urbanization exacerbates the spread of infectious disease and the emergence of pandemics. As COVID-19 cases continue to swell in cities around the world, the pandemic has visibilized urban health inequities. In the Global North, emerging trends show that lower income residents are often at greater risk for infection and death due to COVID-19, due in part to inequitable living, working an
Sveriges skogar påverkas av de hastiga globala klimatförändringarna. Inverkan av klimatförändringana syns redan med både ökad frekvens och kraftigare extremväder som stormar, värmeböljor, torka och skyfall. Ett tydligt exempel är den extrema torka som drabbade hela landet år 2018. Till följd av torkan har det bland annat skett en explosionsartad ökning av antalet granbarkborrar som angriper och döA changing climate is expected to lead to more extreme weather events, such as an increased frequency of droughts and forest fires. Changing forest conditions can offer benefits to species such as insects, including bark borers that thrive in warm conditions. Warmer temperatures also favor the acceleration of ozone (O3) production, which can cause stress on vegetation. Vegetation stress can have n
