Microbial communities frequently encounter recurrent antibiotic disturbance, yet how ecological, evolutionary, and environmental processes jointly shape community responses remains unresolved. Here, we use priming to describe the history-dependent effect whereby prior exposure alters the response to a subsequent disturbance. Using a 23-species bacterial community exposed to sequential ampicillin p
Importance: The incidences of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have increased markedly over recent decades, raising concerns about the emergence of new risk factors. Current literature typically attributes increased rates to changes in diagnostic practice, stigmatization, and awareness, but critically few studies have explored changes in underlying
Even though complex microbial communities are ubiquitous and provide essential services for natural and human-associated ecosystems, our knowledge about their assembly and dynamics is incomplete. There is an ongoing debate about whether the behavior of complex communities can be predicted from the outcome of pairwise competition of species, and whether communities reach alternative stable states d
The Creative Health Review (CHR) published in 2023 is an advocacy document by the UK National Centre for Creative Health and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing. The CHR defines creative health activities as visual and performing arts, crafts, film, literature, cooking, gardening, and visits to cultural centres and heritage sites and claims that active promotion of such
Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth. Several members of Odonata are known to migrate long distances and have conside
0D Sb3+-based organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide (OIMH) scintillators have gained significant attention due to their efficient self-trapped exciton (STE) emission. However, the interplay between local structural distortion, defect-states, and STE emission remains insufficiently understood. Herein, two structurally distinct 0D Sb3+-based OIMHs, [HP(o-tol)3]2SbBr5 and [HP(m-tol)3]4SbBr7, are inve
The RELOC-AGE program addresses knowledge gaps on associations between housing, relocation, and active and healthy aging. The aim of this study was to investigate preferred housing attributes, and whether such attributes differed depending on desired type of dwelling or individual characteristics, among adults in Sweden aged 55 years and older with an expressed interest in relocation. From the Pro
The present nationwide population-based study compared minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with open surgery (OPEN) for colorectal cancer during a period when MIS was introduced in Sweden. The primary analyses demonstrated that MIS was not inferior compared with OPEN regarding short-term outcome for patients operated 2012-2018, nor for long-term outcome assessed as overall survival with surgery perfo
Magnetic fields are a key factor in the evolution of planets and their atmospheres, but they are still poorly constrained for exoplanets owing to limited direct observations. Ultra-hot Jupiters provide a new avenue to probe magnetic effects, as the circulation of their highly ionized atmospheres could be directly sensitive to the atmospheric magnetic field. However, it remains unclear whether the
Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis at an early structural stage could provide a window of opportunity for intervention. Symptomatic knees without definite radiographic osteoarthritis can already show structural joint changes detectable on MRI; however, the greater sensitivity of MRI must be balanced against the risks of overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
Thyroid function has been suggested to be associated with breast cancer risk, but not much is known about thyroid hormones as a potential prognostic factor for breast cancer. This study investigated the relation between thyroid hormones in breast cancer patients and mortality. A total of 2000 breast cancer patients from the Swedish SCAN-B cohort were followed for 9 years. Blood samples were collec
There is currently widespread concern that rapid technological change will funda-mentally change the nature of work. In this paper we show that, despite 140 years oftechnological change, more than 70 percent of employment today is located in occu-pations whose core economic functions already existed in the late nineteenth century.Full-count Swedish census and administrative data from 1880 to 2019,
Öland is the third-largest island in the Baltic Sea and one of Sweden’s most popular tourist destinations. The island has only 30 000 permanent residents but hosts around 300 000 seasonal residents and tourists each summer. This creates a strong pressure on local water resources, as private well owners, municipal supplies, and agriculture must compete for limited freshwater. The island is among th
The first generation of medical artificial intelligence (AI) was judged on whether algorithms could match clinicians. The next generation should be judged on whether carefully designed human–AI systems can improve patient outcomes.
