Plant-insect interactions in grassland ecosystems : Assessing consequences of landscape change and environmental stressors

Plant-insect interactions are crucial for sustaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in grassland ecosystems. Mutualistic pollination and antagonistic herbivory drive ecological processes such as nutrient cycling, community assembly, and food web stability. However, anthropogenic pressures, including land-use change, agricultural intensification, and environmental stressors like drought and

Dispatchable Battery Swapping System with Centralized Charging and Renewable Energy Generation

The effort to electrify society has in recent years resulted in major changes in the transportation sector. Charging time remains a challenge in several applications such as transportation and heavy machinery. A proposed solution that shortens the energy replenishment time and adds flexibility in loading the grid is to battery-swapping: exchanging the depleted battery for a fully charged one. In s

Autoimmune hematological disorders

Autoimmune diseases are disorders where the immune system reacts against self-antigens to cause disease. Autoimmune disorders occur in about 5-7% of the population, although many individuals have no symptoms. In all, there are more than 70 different disorders, most of which are uncommon, apart from rheumatoid disease and autoimmune thyroiditis. Autoimmune diseases are clinical syndromes mediated b

The prevalence of overweight among 4-year-olds during and after the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with socioeconomic burden

Aim: To assess the prevalence of overweight among Swedish 4 year olds in 2018, 2020 and 2022, taking socioeconomic variables into account. Methods: Aggregated regional data on children's body mass index were collected. The socioeconomic Care Need Index (CNI), foreign background, low education, being a single parent, low income and childhood poverty, were assessed. The differences in overweight, in

Mild traumatic brain injury, such as concussion, was once considered self-resolving. However, over the past decade, increased understanding of the short- and long-term impact has led to new guidelines for active management. In this review, we summarise recent findings, covering diagnostic criteria, and management for early and persistent symptoms. Many of the postconcussive symptoms can be treated

Integration across biophysical scales identifies molecular and cellular correlates of person-to-person variability in human brain connectivity

Brain connectivity arises from interactions across biophysical scales, ranging from molecular to cellular to anatomical to network level. To date, there has been little progress toward integrated analysis across these scales. To bridge this gap, from a unique cohort of 98 individuals, we collected antemortem neuroimaging and genetic data, as well as postmortem dendritic spine morphometric, proteom

Yael Bartana: Utopia Now! : 25.05.2024 - 24.11.2024

Since the beginning of the 2000s, Yael Bartana has investigated themes as national identity and religious tradition, collective traumas and the yearning for redemption, patriarchal power structures and promises of salvation. While the point of departure engages with the present, her oeuvre questions and proposes thoughts on how we can live together in a future that defies the shared burden of our

Le Hameau : Drottningens låtsasby

I Versaillesparken ligger Marie-Antoinettes kulissby Le Hameau. Den bestod av ett dussintal byggnader grupperade runt en konstgjord sjö. Byn var drottningens tillflyktsort där hon fick utrymme för sitt privatliv. Jonas Nordin berättar i sin artikel historien om denna märkliga plats.

Yael Bartana: Two Minutes To Midnight : 5 September, 2024 -20 October, 2024

What if Women Ruled the World? Yael Bartana stages this question in her performative piece Two Minutes to Midnight. The all-female government of a fictional nation is tasked with addressing an imminent nuclear threat posed by a foreign power. A panel composed of actresses and real-life experts in defense, law, politics, and psychology gathers in a democratic “peace room.” This space reflects the t

Validation of the European Obstructive Sleep Apnea Screening (EUROSAS) in Professional Male Drivers

(1) Background: The European Union Driver License Committee recently developed a questionnaire as a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), named the European Obstructive Sleep Apnea Screening (EUROSAS) questionnaire for drivers. The aim of the current study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of the EUROSAS to predict risk of OSA in professional male drivers. (2) Methods: Fift

Challenging contextuality : Bibles and biblical scholarship in context

Challenging Contextuality provides a new and innovative contribution to the study of biblical texts and their interpretation by bringing together current and promising, yet still marginal approaches to biblical interpretation. As marginal voices are often drivers of innovation, this volume, therefore, both sets the agenda for the future of the field and provides a synthesis of fruitful approaches

We are Here : 17 – 20 October 2024

In communities of the diaspora, music can be a powerful tool for collectively preserving memories. Along with storytelling, traditional languages, and dancing, songs can represent a living home for stateless nations. Yael Bartana’s new work brings together two groups from two different diasporas: Coral Tradição, a Jewish-Brazilian choir born from the now-destroyed Yiddishland (a nation whose borde

Attitudes Toward Medical Assistance in Dying Among Swedish Palliative Care Professionals

Background: The debate over legalizing medical assistance in dying (assisted dying) is ongoing, also in Nordic countries such as Sweden where assisted dying is illegal. A 2020 survey by the Swedish Medical Association highlighted varied perspectives, with 41% of physicians supporting and 34% opposing legalization. Professionals in palliative care were more negative toward it. Objective: To ass

Multi‐step‐ahead flood forecasting using an improved BiLSTM‐S2S model

Rainfall–runoff modeling is a complex hydrological issue that still has room for improvement. This study developed a coupled bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) with sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) learning (BiLSTM-Seq2seq) model to simulate multi-step-ahead runoff for flood events. The bidirectional LSTM with Seq2Seq learning (LSTM-Seq2Seq) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) was set as benchm

Linking Neighborhoods into Sustainable Energy Systems

Improving the energy efficiency and sustainability in the urban sector plays a vital role in the energy transition. Hence, it is important to consider promising ways to design sustainable urban energy hubs linking neighborhoods into energy systems. Improving the efficiency and sustainability of urban energy infrastructure is a process with multiple steps. This chapter presents the workflow that is
