Groundwater is considered one of the most valuable fresh water resources. The main objective of this study was to produce groundwater spring potential maps in the Koohrang Watershed, Chaharmahal-e-Bakhtiari Province, Iran, using three machine learning models: boosted regression tree (BRT), classification and regression tree (CART), and random forest (RF). Thirteen hydrological-geological-physiogra

Among the polities in the Eastern European inter-imperial peripheries, Romania has witnessed a particular electoral effervescence in 2024/2025, with ripple effects across the region, and making the headlines across the world: the EU parliamentary elections organized concomitantly with local elections (in June 2024); the national legislative elections (in early December); and the presidential elect

BACKGROUND: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common intensive care unit-acquired infection, yet its diagnosis is complicated by the lack of reliable diagnostic criteria and validated biomarkers. Due to the compartmentalisation of the immune response, host proteins in respiratory tract samples are more likely than serum proteins to accurately identify VAP. However, a reliable bioma

Utvärderingen visar att ersättningar för att sköta betesmarker och slåtterängar har en positiv men begränsad effekt på biologisk mångfald i form av fågelfauna och en sammansatt landskapsindikator. Andra stöd och ersättningar som utvärderades har mindre betydelse för dessa indikatorer. Utvärderingen poängterar dock behovet av förbättrad övervakning och data som möjliggör mer detaljerade utvärderingWe have evaluated the impact of the Rural Development Programme 2014–2022 and its support of measures benefitting biodiversity. Bird population sizes, using the Farmland Bird Index (FBI), serve as the main indicator of biodiversity, but the High Nature Value Farmland (HNV) indicator is also used. Our conclusions are:• A combination of approaches is required to evaluate the effects of agrienvironme

Perivascular macrophages (PVMs) are a specialized subset of macrophages situated near blood vessels in the brain. Their strategic positioning around these vessels enables them to perform key functions in immune surveillance and response to inflammation and injury. These cells are crucial for modulating the immune response within the brain, contributing to normal central nervous system (CNS) proces

Debatt Förlusten av arter och livsmiljöer är ett växande hot mot mänskligheten, precis som klimatförändringarna. Sverige behöver en samlad politik för naturen, med en naturlag, ett naturpolitiskt mål och naturpolitiskt råd – motsvarande det klimatpolitiska ramverket. Det skulle ge frågan den prioritet som krävs för att stoppa och vända förlusten av biologisk mångfald och säkra de naturnyttor vi är

The Sámi people stand out as the only Indigenous minority in an egalitarian European context, namely the Nordic Countries. Therefore, inequalities that they may face are worth closer inspection. Drawing on the distinction between inequalities among individuals (vertical) and between groups (horizontal), we investigate how different types of inequalities affect the Sámi today. We formulate a series

Dose conversion coefficients attempt to harmonize the material-, location-, and exposure-dependent results from retrospective dosemeters. The issues and uncertainties arising from dose conversion are explored within the framework of an interlaboratory comparison exercise in which mobile phones were positioned around anthropomorphic phantoms and exposed to non-uniform photon fields, with the glass

BACKGROUND: The complement inhibitor CSMD1 acts as a tumor suppressor in various types of solid cancers. Despite its high level of expression in the brain, its function in gliomas, malignant brain tumors originating from glial cells, has not been investigated.METHODS: Three cohorts of glioma patients comprising 1500 patients were analyzed in our study along with their clinical data. H4, U-118 and

OBJECTIVE: The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are inflammatory disorders with ANCA autoantibodies recognising either proteinase 3 (PR3-AAV) or myeloperoxidase (MPO-AAV). PR3-AAV and MPO-AAV have been associated with distinct loci in the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) region. While the association between MPO-AAV and HLA has been well characterised in East A

Health inequalities are a persistent and growing issue in different countries worldwide. Sweden, despite being one of the scandinavian countries with internationally recognized welfare system is no exception. The issue of health disparities and its increase among some groups, including those who are categorised as migrant have been acknowledged. Emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, reveale

Stora företag i västvärlden har de senaste åren i ökad takt inkorporerat social rättvisa (jämställdhet, HBTQ+ rättigheter, rättvisa i rasfrågan) och miljörättvisa i deras marknadsföring och reklam. Modebranschen är en av de branscher som har använt sig särskilt mycket av social rättvise-symbolik. Denna avhandling fokuserar på artikulationer av miljö, genus, och ras genom en studie av hållbarhet ocThe corporatisation of social justice (gender justice, LGBTQI+ rights, racial justice) and environmental justice ideals in the last decades has grown immensely in western countries, exemplified by rainbow-clad ATM’s during Pride month or Nike using images of NFL player Kaepernick’s anti-racism protest action of taking a knee during the USA national anthem in a marketing campaign. One of the indust

Numerous studies have examined the challenges associated with developing second-home (SH) tourism in rural areas. However, little attention has been given to exploring the influence of power dynamics and rent-seeking behavior on the Real Estate Market for second homes (SHs). To address this research gap, our study conducted face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders in five selected villages in

Corpus linguistic studies have shown that lexicon varies according to linguistic register, and cognitive studies have demonstrated that lexical aspects play a significant role in determining the veracity of people’s accounts. Both lines of research underpin the present study, where the aim is to explore how overall lexical properties (lexical density and lexical diversity, and noun, verb, and adje

The biogeographical origin of Betonica officinalis L. in Sweden has long been debated as to whether its populations represent natural postglacial relicts or human introductions. Using RADseq data from 42 individuals across 35 sites in 14 European countries, we analysed 9,598 SNPs to map genetic structure and infer relationships among regions. We found strong differentiation between western and cen
