The David Jonas Festschrift is a collection of 67 contributions that cover the latest developments and applications in multidimensional and ultrafast spectroscopies, spanning a wide range of topics. The editorial provides background and summarizes the contributions to the special issue across the areas of experimental advances, theory and computation, proteins and biological systems, nanomaterials
Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco-evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological, evolutionary, and dietary diversity. Yet, avian micr
The digitalization of learning environments during the last decades has changed education at its core. At the same time as computers in the classroom offer multiple advantages, they also allow for multitasking and off-task behavior, undermining students’ attention and affecting their knowledge gains. In today’s highly digitalized classrooms, the challenge of maintaining student focus amidst pervasDue to an increase in unverified information that reaches people, data literacy, i.e. the understanding of how to interact with, and interpret information, becomes increasingly important for informed citizenship and responsible decision-making in a democratic society. Central to data literacy is the ability to draw conclusions based on existing data, as well as to interpret and evaluate numerical
A university student in China today might find himself or herself taking a “golden course” that blends practical and academic training. The student earns degree credit while gaining direct exposure to industry. The course might even be sponsored by Alibaba, the online retail giant, or another large firm.
We present a synthesis route for solid-state nanocatalysts composed of gallium phosphide nanowire supports decorated with catalytic palladium nanoparticles. Through precise control of fabrication conditions, we were able to tune the nanowire morphology, density, and crystal structure. The resulting catalysts were highly active and selective in the partial hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styren
Bioenergy is the largest energy source in the Swedish energy system, where it consists mainly of domestic forest-based biomass in the form of residues and by-products. Today, there is a general discussion about the need for changes in national forest management policies and new European Union (EU) directives and regulations for forestry and bioenergy to better fulfil biodiversity and climate targe
This article revises the intellectual history of slavery in eighteenth-century Denmark. Against the view that there was little discussion of slavery in Denmark before the reception of British abolitionist ideas towards the end of the century, it shows that the teaching of natural law provided a consistent, significant, and overlooked forum for discussing the question of slavery. Engaging with a si
A new genus and species of emperor butterfly (Nymphalidae, Apaturinae) is described based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the "Calcaire de Campagne Calavon" limestone of southern France (early Oligocene age, approximately 34–28 Mya). Most parts of the right wings and upper parts of the left wings are visible, with complete venation and even wing patterns. The head and thorax are c
While the impacts of climate change can negatively affect persons in both developed and developing countries, the notion of climate change loss and damage has typically been associated with the latter. Indeed, the mandate of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage, the institution tasked with addressing loss and damage in international climate change law, extends to developing count
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the associations between impaired spirometry such as obstructive pattern and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and occurrent cardiovascular events and deaths in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: Cohort study of 517 patients with age ≥40 years and ≥10 pack-years of smoking, hospitalized for myocardial infarction at eig
ObjectiveTo compare the early and midterm outcomes of left subclavian artery revascularization during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) following carotid subclavian bypass/transposition (CSB) vs. fenestrated repair when landing in zone 1/2. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for baseline differences.MethodsDEbranching versus FENestrated Repair for Left SubClavian Arter
PURPOSE: Voice problems in teachers have been extensively studied; however, the relationship between voice disorders and work ability has not been thoroughly explored. Existing studies have often used self-reporting and cross-sectional designs. This 16-year longitudinal cohort study aimed to explore the association between sick leave due to diagnosed functional voice disorders and work ability.MET
Purpose: Altered auditory feedback research aims to identify methods to strengthen speakers’ awareness of their own voicing behaviors, diminish their perception of vocal fatigue, and improve their voice production. This study aims to compare the effects of two bone conduction devices that provide altered auditory feedback. Method: Twenty participants (19-33 years old, age: M [SD]=25.5 [3.85] years
Common health issues have been less examined in studies of early language development, particularly in relation to the child’s sex. Respiratory tract infections, often complicated by acute otitis media, are common in children during the first years of life, when early vocabulary development takes place. The present study, conducted in Finland, aimed to investigate whether possible associations bet
Objective: To validate the Voice Handicap Index-Throat (VHI-T) in Brazilian Portuguese and compare the three formats: VHI-T-Br, VHI-T used in combination with the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and VHI-T used in combination with the reduced version of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10) Methods: This cross-sectional study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee.
