Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that have fueled the hope for sustainable biofuel production since they enhance the breakdown of recalcitrant polysaccharides like cellulose. In the consensus mechanism, their catalytic activity relies on forming an ‘oxyl’, [CuO˙−]+, species at the active site, followed by subsequent hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) from the s
Background: Hearing loss is estimated to affect more than 20% of the global population. Hearing aid fitting is a common intervention in audiological rehabilitation; however, there are still those who struggle with remaining communication difficulties that require additional intervention. The group rehabilitation program Active Communication Education (ACE) has been shown to be an effective alterna
This paper explores the role of guanxi in facilitating innovation within the Chinese construction sector. Guanxi, denoting the network of trust-based relationships, is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and orchestrates innovation activities. As the construction sector shifts toward bio-based building materials, understanding how guanxi influences innovation activities becomes crucial for the sector
The collective and non-collective high-spin configurations in selected A {reversed tilde equals} 80 nuclei are analysed in detail using a shell-correction approach taking care of individual configurations and the pairing self-consistent cranking method with a non-axially-deformed Woods-Saxon potential. Shape transitions, shape coexistence, band-termination effects and alignment processes are discu
This study utilizes a novel analytical framework to examine large-scale development-focused scholarship programs for international higher education. The Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) is systematically analyzed here utilizing its 2013–2022 annual reports. Applying the orders of worth approach, LPDP’s claims and justifications towards the common good are studied, alongside the organi
In today’s volatile and changing environment employment, innovation, and economic growth are basic characteristics of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to investigate the challenges and enablers of digitalization in SMEs. Expert responses provide numerical weights to 6 barriers and 5 alternatives using Super Decisions v3.2 software. The results sho
This study explores subnational population ageing across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden by examining municipalities that hold record values in three ageing measures: the share of the population aged 65 and over, mean age, and the prospective old-age dependency ratio. The analysis covers 1986-2023 for Sweden, Finland and Norway, 1998-2023 for Iceland and 2008-2023 for Denmark. The an
Humans have a propensity for rhythmicity, notably expressed in the domains of lan-guage and music. It is expressed through the abilities to produce and perceive rhyth-mic signals, as well as entrainment, which is the ability to synchronise movements inrelation to external rhythmic stimuli (e.g., dancing). However, it remains unclear asto how, why or when this rhythmic propensity evolved.A comparat
Sexual selection often leads to sexual conflict via pre-copulatory (harassment) and/or copulatory (traumatic insemination) male harm to females, impacting population growth, adaptation and evolutionary rescue. Male harm mechanisms are diverse and taxonomically widespread, but we largely ignore what ecological factors modulate their diversification. Here, we conducted experimental evolution under l
Although communism was a Western creation, its last consequences were implemented in southeastern Europe. In addition to the imposed aspects, there were local enthusiasms and excesses of zeal (euphemistically speaking), which attest to the existence of an identity matrix and a common mentality. Countries with an authoritarian tradition have absorbed this ideology of simultaneous denationalization
This chapter examines the enduring presence of pre-Christian, Pagan religious elements in Baltic folklore—the related but distinct folk traditions of Lithuania and Latvia—and the purposes these remnants of Baltic Paganism serve as expressions of ethnic and/or national identity. Particular attention is paid to a genre of folk songs known as dainasin Latvia and dainos in Lithuania, solstice celebrat
Precarity is a common condition for most healthy people living in tropical countries and obviously even more so in patients with cancer. Numerous socioeconomic, cultural, and educational difficulties influence the outcome of cancer management: poverty, diminishing extended family support among communities, lack of reliable cancer registries, poor awareness even within the medical community, limite
Collaboration is expected to play a central role in the transition to abioeconomy—a central pillar of a green economy. Such collaboration is supposed to connect traditional biomass processing firms with diverse actors infields where biomass ought to substitute existing or create novel productsand processes. This study analyzes the network of technology collaborationsamong innovating firms in Swede
This study investigates the influential challenges that startups face within business incubators, specifically from entrepreneur’s perspective. While incubators provide crucial support for early-stage ventures, startups even within these supportive settings often encounter significant challenges that can hinder their growth and success. The study employed an integrated approach of literature revie
