The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) : A space mission for mid-infrared nulling interferometry

The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of other worlds. Here, we review the status of the m

Unlocking circular economy: overcoming roadblocks to circular healthcare supply chain in Indian healthcare

PurposeThe circular economy concept in the healthcare supply chain can demote using single-use devices by reprocessing, reusing or recycling. India is the most populous country in the world and has numerous challenges to implementing a circular economy in the healthcare supply chain. The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the roadblocks to circular healthcare supply chains in the I

Subfossil Cladocera as indicators of pH, trophic state and conductivity : Separate and combined effects in hemi boreal freshwater lakes

Identifying lake reference conditions is a crucial task for successful lake restoration. A common method is the paleolimnological approach. However, lakes can be influenced by multiple stressors over time, making it necessary to consider possible combined effects. In this study, we aimed to untangle the interpretation of subfossil Cladocera in relation to different environmental parameters in lake

Severe Cognitive Impairment in Trauma-Affected Refugees—Exploring the Impact of Traumatic Brain Injury

Background/Objectives: This study explores the relationship between cognitive performance measured by the Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT) and the severity of self-reported head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, pain, and psychosocial dysfunction in a population of trauma-affected refugees. Refugees, especially those who have been subjected t

Energy Efficiency in Seasonal Homes : A Study on the Occupancy, Energy Use, and Renovation of Second Homes in Sweden

The escalating utilisation of second homes has led to an extension in heating periods and, to a certain degree, renovations to elevate the standard, resulting in augmented energy and resource consumption. A comprehensive survey was conducted in Sweden, examining user patterns across different seasons, heating systems, and implemented energy efficiency measures. The results indicate that second hom

Women's economic empowerment and intimate partner violence

This study explores the relationship between women's economic empowerment and intimate partner violence (IPV), measured as women's hospital visits for assault. Using longitudinal Swedish administrative data, I proxy women's economic empowerment with a measure of potential relative earnings of married spouses caused by local changes in gender-specific labour demand. The findings reveal that an incr

Non-conventional endpoints show higher sulfoxaflor toxicity to Chironomus riparius than conventional endpoints in a multistress environment

Evidence grows that standard toxicity testing might underestimate the environmental risk of neurotoxic insecticides. Behavioural endpoints such as locomotion and mobility have been suggested as sensitive and ecologically relevant additions to the standard tested endpoints. Possible interactive effects of chemicals and additional stressors are typically overlooked in standardised testing. Therefore

Promoting public managerial sustainability: The relevance of social support for managers in coping with work-related stress

Statistics reveal the concerning prevalence of mental health issues among Swedish public sector managers, highlighting the critical need for deeper insights into the relevance of social support in coping with work-related stress. This study aims to examine the relevance of various sources of social support for managers coping with work-related stress, an area relatively underexplored in public adm

Collection display at MoMA : Aggregate States of Matters

With her film installation Aggregate States of Matters, Rosa Barba poses a question: How can a form of visual expression convey the environmental and social impact of an issue as fraught as climate change?For this work, the artist interviewed members of Indigenous Quechua communities in Peru, who have had to adapt their daily practices due to the melting of a nearby glacier. Abandoning journalisti

Introducing the child and its parent(s): Child-teacher-parent relationship-building during preschool transition

Relationer med nära vuxna är viktiga för barns utveckling. Forskning om känslomässig trygghet, så kallad ”anknytning”, mellan barn och förälder har visat att hur föräldrar bemöter barnets behov av tröst och närhet inverkar på barnets sätt att hantera känslomässig stress och navigera sociala relationer. Även andra omsorgspersoner i ett barns vardagsliv kan bli anknytningsfigurer för barnet, såsom pCurrent child developmental research encourages a more systemic understanding of attachment-related relationship-building. As many young children spend a substantial part of their daily life in professional childcare, e.g., “preschool”, interactions with teachers at preschool are of particular interest in this respect. In bridging the developmentally important contexts of home and preschool for th

Assessment of intraepidermal nerve fiber densities in 5 µm sections from arm and leg - a search for normative age-related values

Background and aims: Normative values are lacking regarding intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) in thin sections of 5 µm. Thus, we aimed to assess IENFD in thin sections in a healthy adult population as well as to investigate whether IENFD is related to age, sex, and site of excision.Methods: Archival skin biopsies or excisions at the Department of Pathology, Lund, Sweden, from arm and leg

Inserted Between The Painted Glass

This exhibition of new sculptural works by the artist coincides with the launch of a new series of prints by Rosa Barba published by, and only available through Cahiers d’Art; featuring two distinct series of unique Monoprints and two Limited Edition print series. After spending time among the archives of Cahiers d’Art, Rosa Barba drew inspiration from the original copper printing plates featuring

Prediction of High Nodal Burden in Patients With Sentinel Node-Positive Luminal ERBB2-Negative Breast Cancer

IMPORTANCE: In patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer and 1 or 2 sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometastases, omitting completion axillary lymph node dissection (CALND) is standard. High nodal burden (≥4 axillary nodal metastases) is an indication for intensified treatment in luminal breast cancer; hence, abstaining from CALND may result in undertreatment.OBJECTIVE: To develop a

Breast cancer hormone receptor levels and benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen in a randomized trial with long-term follow-up

BACKGROUND: Hormone receptor positivity predicts benefit from endocrine therapy but the knowledge about the long-term survival of patients with different tumor receptor levels is limited. In this study, we describe the 25 years outcome of tamoxifen (TAM) treated patients.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1983 and 1992, a total of 4,610 postmenopausal patients with early-stage breast cancer were random

Evoking a Space Beyond Cinema

The exhibition features Aggregate States of Matters (2019), a film shot in the Peruvian Andes with the support of proyectoamil, in addition to a selection of her recent work. In 2002, Rosa Barba had one of her first exhibitions at the Sala Luis Miro-Quesada Garland in Miraflores (Lima) which started her enduring connection with Peru. During that visit Barba travelled extensively throughout the cou

Voice Engine & Hear, There Where the Echoes Are

Rosa Barba takes the components of cinema apart, giving each element a position in space and then starts playing with them. Designed as a promenade through the gallery, teeming with memories, the work offers a sensory experience that is further reinforced and enlivened with sound recordings of the vocal and musical performances.

Tuning Interactions in Correlated Electron Systems: From Two-Band Superconductivity to Quasi-1D Spin Chains

Neutron scattering techniques have been employed to investigate two key areas of condensed matter physics: superconductivity and quantum magnetism. The experimental studies span two distinct areas: two-band superconductors, where we explore the interplay between superconducting anisotropy and vortex structure, and quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) spin chains, where we investigate the magnetic exci

The origin of the H αline profiles in simulated disc galaxies

Observations of ionized H αgas in high-redshift disc galaxies have ubiquitously found significant line broadening, σH α∼10 -100 km s-1 . To understand whether this broadening reflects gas turbulence within the interstellar medium (ISM) of galactic discs, or arises from out-of-plane emission in mass-loaded outflows, we perform radiation hydrodynamic simulations of isolated Milky Way-mass disc galax
