Control of the microstructure of steel components during their processing is a crucial factor for reaching desired product properties. Realistic simulations of the microstructure evolution during processing can facilitate the improvement of existing processes as well as the design of new ones by reducing the need for time- and cost-intensive experimental investigations. This work focuses on the mo
Taboo obsessions are ego-dystonic, recurrent, and intrusive thoughts involving aggressive, sexual and/or religious themes, which are common in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These symptoms are often challenging to treat with traditional, exposure-based approaches. Our research group has developed and successfully piloted an Internet-delivered intervention based on the cognit
The class of two-dimensional carbides and nitrides known as MXenes exhibit remarkable electronic properties. Tailoring these properties, however, requires an in-depth understanding of the band structure and Fermi-surface topology. Surface oxidation of MXenes has previously hampered the characterization of their Fermi surface, which is crucial for understanding the topology and anisotropy in the el
This study investigates the formation of negative ion fragments from gas-phase 2-propanol molecules after interaction with soft X-rays near the O K-edge. The experiment was performed by detecting negative and positive ions in coincidence with time-of-flight spectrometry. The analysis of two- and three-ion coincidence data revealed that nine different anions were produced: H-, C-, CH-, CH2-, O-, OH
This paper explores recent trends in Uzbek labor migration, with a focus on the growing role of the European Union as a destination. While Russia remains the largest host country, ongoing diversification has led to a notable increase in migration to EU member states, particularly for employment. Drawing on official statistics and fieldwork, the study highlights rising numbers of Uzbek migrants in
BACKGROUND: Existing conceptions of teaching quality assume that classroom interactions serve as the foundation for effective teaching. The resulting data necessitates analytical approaches capable of extracting the semantics of these interactions.AIM: This study investigates whether and to what extent lesson semantics provide insights into teaching quality (i.e., cognitive engagement, encourageme
The individuals from Westerhus were randomly selected to cover all age groups and both sexes. Bone samples were taken from 94 skeletons (25%) of the population. Different skeletal elements have been used in the PIXE (Proton Induced X-ray Emission) analyses. The following elements were studied: Ca (calcium), the earth metals Mn (manganese) and Fe (iron); the trace elements Zn (zinc), Sr (strontium)
It is a common and tenacious understanding that the best treatments of the ill during the Middle Ages in Sweden was offered in the monasteries. In this article, this view is problematised. By introducing the anthropological concept of medical cultures, the author suggests an understanding of Middle Age leach craft and medicine as a complex web of several co-existing medical cultures. Three major m
Framed within debates about the inclusivity of urban development, Ubuntu philosophy and an interest in non-metropolitan growth of ordinary places, 15 small but developing towns were selected across Uganda and Tanzania. Growth and development were evidenced by increase in night-time lights and densification/expansion of built-up areas. Analysis of c. 4,000 individuals asked which towns were more, o
In a skeletal material of five individuals from a non-christian cemetery in Middle Sweden (Vivallen) non-metric traits in skulls and mandibles were studied. Burial gifts and burial customs indicate Saamisch/Lappish origin of these individuals. Their affinities are explored here by comparing the traits with data on crania of Saamish populations from Northern Norway as well a with data of Nordic pop
Women have always played a central role in smallholder agriculture in many farming systems of the Global South. However, they have had, and still have, low access to agricultural information, and even less ability to enact on training or advice received, in comparison to male farmers. The paper investigates what is needed for female smallholders to better benefit from agricultural advice and train
Peatlands have become a silver bullet in climate mitigation policy globally. Restoring and rewetting agricultural peatlands is key for meeting reduction targets within the agricultural sector. But unlike other sectors, change rests on the decisions of individual farmers. In Denmark, a political aim towards restoring 100.000 hectares of agricultural peatlands by 2030 is challenged by uncertainty, d
INTRODUCTION: Low birth weight is an important measure of the health of pregnant women and newborns. We investigated the prevalence of low birth weights in India over nearly three decades to assess trends and convergence across states.METHODS: Data came from five waves of the National Family Health Survey (1992-93 to 2019-21). The prevalence of low birth weight was estimated. To explore the sensit
Metabolically engineered baker’s yeast can be used to produce chiral amines through whole-cell bioconversion of prochiral ketones. This study investigates the modulation of the alanine-pyruvate metabolic node to enhance reductive amination, using the stereoselective conversion of benzylacetone to (S)-1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamine (MPPA) as a model reaction. Chromosomal integration of multiple copie
AIMS: Diet is a determinant of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with coronary disease as predominant cause of pre-mature death. To analyse how diet was associated with coronary atherosclerosis, including plaque features.METHODS AND RESULTS: The cross-sectional population-based study using data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary BioImage Study (SCAPIS) included 24 079 adults aged 50-64 years, recruited
Background We seek to clarify how changes in the prevalence of drug use disorder (DUD) in Sweden in the 1950-1990 birth cohort impact the aggregation and co-aggregation in siblings of DUD and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Methods We examined risk for DUD and AUD in siblings of 102,624 DUD cases and matched control probands and 123,837 AUD case and matched control probands identified using Swedish re
Ammonia (NH3) emerges as a promising carbon-free fuel, necessitating an understanding of its fundamental combustion properties, particularly the laminar burning velocity (SL), at very high unburnt temperatures (Tu). Despite this need, a consensus on the relationship between SL and Tu across a broad temperature range has not yet been established. This study investigated the SL vs. Tu relationship f
