SWAT simulation of streamflow in Sironko catchment on Mt. Elgon, Eastern Uganda

We determined the 2025-2040 impact of climate and land use land cover change on streamflow in the Sironko catchment. LULCC was predicted using Cellular Automata Markov. The climate was statistically downscaled from the 29 GCMs of the IPCC Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project using the delta method of the Agricultural Model Inter-comparison and Improvement Project under five climate regimes

Lower MeDiC score is associated with non-referral to multidisciplinary team meeting discussion in bladder cancer patients : a nationwide and population-based study

Background and purpose: The Measure of Case-Discussion Complexity (MeDiC) tool was created to gauge case complexity at multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTM) for case selection and prioritization. We aimed to assess applicability and association with MeDiC score and non-compliance with national guide-line-recommendations for MDTM referral in a bladder cancer setting. Material and methods: A modifi

Border carbon adjustments in agri-food markets : Not as effective as one might think

Using the EU as case study, we simulate the impact of border carbon adjustments on agri-food markets. While border carbon adjustments alleviate adverse carbon price impacts on EU agricultural competitiveness and emission leakage, our simulation results also reveal that (i) border carbon adjustments may diminish domestic mitigation efforts, thereby partly offsetting benefits from reduced emission l

Scattering computations using a rotationally symmetric solver implemented in open source finite elements

We summarize the theory and implementation of an open source solver for rotationally symmetric scatterers. The purpose of the code is to compute reference solutions for electrically large radome problems. The rotational symmetry decouples the azimuthal modes, enabling the three-dimensional problem to be broken down into a sequence of decoupled two-dimensional problems which require much less memor

Epistemic justice in urban living labs : a framework for analysis applied to transport planning

This article explores the potential for just knowledge production in Urban Living Labs (ULLs) by foregrounding epistemic justice. Drawing on autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, it examines how testimonial and hermeneutical injustices shape the formation, implementation, and dissemination phases of EU-funded, research-led ULLs. Findings show that funding structures, academic framings, and diThis article explores the potential for just knowledge production in Urban Living Labs (ULLs) by foregrounding epistemic justice.

Multi-level vertical III-V nanowire gate-all-rround ferroelectric FETs for in-memory computing

Hafnia-based ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistors (FeFETs) are promising candidates for non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing due to their fast switching, low power consumption, and CMOS compatibility [1]–[3]. IIIV materials, such as InAs, offer superior electron transport properties [4], [5], and high remnant polarization at low annealing temperatures when integrated with hafnia-based

Serum, urinary and fecal concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances after interventions with cholestyramine/colesevelam and probenecid - cross-over trials in Ronneby, Sweden

BACKGROUND: Some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) such as perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are very long-lived in humans, with serum half-lives of several years. In PFAS hot spots, such as Ronneby, Sweden, high exposures over time have led to markedly elevated serum PFAS levels, which may result in health risks

Feasibility of an interpreter-mediated neuropsychological test battery for trauma-affected refugees

Background: Cognitive impairment in trauma-affected refugees is often unassessed due to the absence of suitable cross-cultural neuropsychological measures, the high prevalence of psychiatric symptoms, and the need for interpreter mediation. This poses both a clinical challenge and a health inequality for trauma-affected refugees who are left without access to much needed rehabilitation. Untreated

EFFECTS OF PROGERIN EXPRESSION AND DEREGULATED NUCLEAR ENVELOPE REFORMATION AFTER MITOTIC CELL DIVISION ON MICRONUCLEAR STABILITY

Beyond the main nucleus: the secret lives of micronuclei Imagine your cells diligently copying their precious genetic blueprint every time they divide. This astonishing process, however, is not foolproof. When errors inevitably creep in, especially under stress like radiation or certain drugs, our cells face a terrifying choice: halt operations and attempt repairs or press on, risking chaos. This

Over-the-air DPD and reciprocity calibration in massive MIMO and beyond

Non-linear transceivers and non-reciprocity of downlink and uplink channels are two major challenges in the deployment of massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We consider an over-the-air (OTA) approach for digital pre-distortion (DPD) and reciprocity calibration to jointly address these issues. In particular, we consider a memory-less non-linearity model for the base station (BS)

Securing the control of digital beamforming

With the increase of devices connected to 5G services, the importance of tuning User Equipment (UE) to their assigned frequency slot becomes increasingly vital. This paper approached this issue by securing the control signals sent through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) in digital beamforming radios. This was done by securing three distinct components: the transmitting end of the channel, the

Grafted Trees Bear Better Fruit : An Improved Multiple-Valued Plaintext-Checking Side-Channel Attack Against Kyber

As a prominent category of side-channel attacks (SCAs), plaintext-checking (PC) oracle-based SCAs offer the advantages of generality and operational simplicity on a targeted device. At TCHES 2023, Rajendran et al. and Tanaka et al. independently proposed the multiple-valued (MV) PC oracle, significantly reducing the required number of queries (a.k.a., traces) in the PC oracle. However, in practice

A processability theory perspective on morphosyntax in school-age children with developmental language disorder

This study examines the production of morphosyntax in Swedish-speaking children diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Data from a Sentence Repetition Task was used to investigate if there is an implicational order according to Processability Theory (PT) in grammatical structures produced by school-age children with DLD. PT is a cognitive theory of language development that assumes

Strain-specific and functional alterations of the human gut microbiome in cancer: A reanalysis of shotgun metagenomics data

Human gut microbiome plays significant role in maintaining health and homeostasis of the host immune system by modulating immune metabolism, metabolic functions and acting as a barrier against pathogens. Therefore, characterizing the gut microbiome is vital for understanding its role in cancer as several studies have leveraged the strong correlation between gut microbiome dysbiosis and various typ

Bilingualism and Personality: A Cognitive-semiotic Approach

Previous research has shown that some bilinguals report feeling as though they have two different personalities in their different languages. For some this experience is stable, for others situational or linked to life stages, while many claim never to have felt it. Despite extensive research, there is no consensus on the topic, including on what exactly is meant by “personality” in the context. S

Validating biomarkers for stemness in prostate cancer

Motstånd i tumören – att hitta biomarkörer för prostatacancerns mest svårbehandlade celler Prostatacancer är en av de vanligaste cancerdiagnoserna hos män. Trots att prognos och behandlingsmetoder har förbättrats betydligt de senaste decennierna, är spridd prostatacancer (metastaserad) i nuläget ett obotligt sjukdomstillstånd. Det behövs därför bättre behandlingsmetoder samt prediktiva och diagnoProstate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer diagnoses for men and is believed to increase in the future due to an aging global population. The 5-year survival rate decreases drastically for metastatic disease, which is currently incurable. Androgens drive prostate cancer via the AR-signaling pathway. For metastatic disease, antiandrogen therapy, external beam therapy, chemotherapy, or ther

Widespread false negatives in DNA-encoded library data : how linker effects impair machine learning-based lead prediction

DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) have become integral to early-stage drug discovery, yielding active compounds and extensive labeled datasets for machine learning (ML)-based prediction of bioactive molecules. However, the information content of DECL selection data remains scarcely explored. This study systematically investigates for the first time the prevalence of false negatives and the in
