Biodiversity offsetting (BO) is a neoliberal conservation policy formulated in international policy arenas and later integrated into national policies in several countries. Studies of BO policy have shed light on diverse social and environmental justice concerns on the local levels of policy implementation. However, much of the research on justice questions in BO has centred on the distribution of
Despite intense investigation through centuries, there is still no scientific consensus on how to describe myocardial microarchitecture. This is mainly because the myocardium must be visualised in three dimensions, and with sufficiently high resolution to fully appreciate its complex nature. X-ray microtomography allows for exactly such visualisation. Using this technique, we herein provide a desc
Background: The global energy transition toward climate neutrality is driving rapid growth in the demand for critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. While indispensable for decarbonization, their extraction, processing, and recycling expose workers, communities, and ecosystems to toxic metals, including lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and manganese, raising significant public healt
Objectives: Although obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is strongly associated with a range of modifiable somatic health problems, little is known about how the disorder influences the adoption and maintenance of healthy lifestyle habits, as well as how it shapes patients' experiences of seeking and receiving general healthcare. Methods: Sixteen individuals with OCD and cardiometabolic risk who p
We transform large-scale Swedish register data into textual life trajectories to address two long-standing challenges in data analysis: high cardinality of categorical variables and inconsistencies in coding schemes over time. Leveraging this uniquely comprehensive population register, we convert register data from 6.9 million individuals (2001–2013) into semantically rich texts and predict indivi
Historians as well as sociologists of higher education by now agree that European supranational policies and processes of European integration dramatically changed European universities during the last quarter of the 20th century—often calling this a process of “Europeanisation”. But how and when did this Europeanisation start, which ideas and ambitions for Europe did it entail, and what did the t
Digital rights management (DRM) is crucial in safeguarding digital content in today's digital era. However, with the advancement of attack techniques, DRM systems face significant threats from key exposure, leading to increased piracy. To counter this, various DRM solutions utilizing white-box encryption schemes have been developed to prevent key exposure. Unfortunately, many existing solutions ex
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic placed considerable pressure on nursing homes, where care workers faced high workloads, uncertainty, and emotional strain while also being expected to implement extensive infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. Understanding how such everyday experiences affect adherence to IPC measures is essential for strengthening future guideline implementation and tr
BACKGROUND: – The optimal management of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unclear, and evidence supporting routine percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) beforehand is limited. This study aimed to evaluate whether PCI before TAVR provides clinical benefit compared with conservative management in patients with significant coronary
Nerve surgery for unmeasurable upper extremity neuropathophysiology - such as pronator syndrome, supinator syndrome/radial tunnel syndrome, lacertus syndrome, and neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome - remains a subject of ongoing debate due to the lack of objective reference tests confirming the diagnoses. This round table discussion outlines the perspectives of five expert surgeons navigating the
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunctions are associated with increased cancer morbidity and rapid tumor progression. The alpha1-oleate complex has been used successfully to treat bladder cancer in a placebo-controlled Phase II study. Studies of the related BAMLET complexes recently identified effects on metabolism, suggesting additional functions of the "HAMLET family" of tumoricidal complexes.AIMS: To
Bakgrund/Syfte*: Vilka aktiviteter som hemtjänstanvändare får hjälp med regleras viabiståndsbeslut, men det är oklart om stödet motsvarar deras önskan om vad de vill göra föraktiviteter för att få en meningsfull vardag. Syftet är att starta en diskussion kring för- och nackdelarmed att använda bedömningsinstrument som fokuserar på vad en hemtjänstanvändare vill göra.Metod/Tillvägagångssätt*: Inter
Extensive research is currently being conducted to develop anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with high hydroxide conductivity and chemical stability, aiming to increase efficiency and lifetime of alkaline membrane fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and flow batteries. In this context, poly(arylene alkylene)s have recently emerged to offer great opportunities and flexibility to molecularly design and p
BACKGROUND: Non-coding RNAs have been drawing increasing attention in recent years as functional data suggest that they play important roles in key cellular processes. N-BLR is a primate-specific long non-coding RNA that modulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, facilitates cell migration, and increases colorectal cancer invasion.RESULTS: We performed multivariate analyses of data from t
