Saussure e grida is an Italian-language popular science podcast about linguistics and the science of language. Each episode explores linguistic phenomena, theories, and research, drawing on scientific literature while making current linguistic knowledge accessible and engaging to a general audience. The podcast covers topics ranging from language structure and acquisition to language change, multi
For most organisms, we rely on the ability to observe them from birth to death in order to fully understand their ecology, life cycles, adaptations, and interactions with other organisms. For fungi, this is a challenge, and little is known about how old they can become and in what form they persist in the environment. In this opinion article, we highlight the complexity of determining the longevitFor most organisms, we rely on the ability to observe them from birth to death in order to fully understand their ecology, life cycles, adaptations, and interactions with other organisms.

While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in particular, in wild study species.Here, we examined the root microbiota of the perennial vine Solanum dulcamara, a wild relative of potato with an unusually wide ecological ampWhile we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in particular, in wild study species.Here, we examined the root microbiota of the perennial vine Solanum dulcamara, a wild relative of potato with an unusually wide ecological amp
This article reflects on unresolved affective tensions in the field, not as failures or impasses but as analytical tools for (un)doing research. Shifting from a distant and detached analysis of my interlocutors’ narratives towards a decentred account of myself, I trace my disorientations, discomforts and troubles in encounters with queer refugees and asylum seekers. Through this ephemeral self-acc
AbstractBackground:Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii remains as a global concern with its ability to adhere, disperse and sustain on areas involving suboptimal infection control measures, especially war zones. We aimed to evaluate the molecular epidemiology and virulence factors of A. baumannii isolates from conflict zone in Ukraine.Methods:In 2022, 46 A. baumannii wound isolates were re
Community-aqcuired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious causes leading to hospitalization. Historically, Streptococcous pneumoniae has been the most common etiology in CAP and has therefor led to targeted interventions such as immunization in children, the elderly, and risk groups. Other important pathogens are Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and respiratory viruses.T
Under tusentals år har människor fascinerats av fabler. I korta berättelser skildrar fabellitteraturen dråpliga scener och situationer, oftast med talande djur som aktörer. Fablerna ger sin läsare moraliska råd och tankeställare: om hur man maximerar en fördel, om hur man undviker en fara, om hur det går till här i världen. Den klassiska fabeltraditionen nådde Sverige under medeltiden och hade s
Background: The function of the brain is dependent on cooperation of nerve cells in multiple regions, which is performed through network interactions. A possible expression for this cooperation could be creative output such as visual art. Cognitive disorders influence the foundations for the network interactions which should then also influence creativity.Aim: The thesis investigates this by exami
AIM: Risk assessment tools for periodontitis lack sufficient precision to predict disease progression. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate proteolytic activity (PA) in gingival crevicular fluid in relation to clinically assessed progression risk, microbial community composition and host proteome.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples were collected from 109 patients with periodontitis and st
This work investigates a new regularization method for conditional variational autoencoder networks in unsupervised anomaly detection. The proposed regularization takes advantage of the network’s ability to embed images into a lower-dimensional latent space according to clusters of known classes. Previous literature has predominantly implemented cluster locations as learnable parameters of the mod
Background: Dietary vitamins play a role in antioxidant defense and immunoregulation. However, prospective studies exploring the association between vitamin intakes during pregnancy and the child’s risk of type 1 diabetes are limited. Objectives: This population-based prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between maternal intake of vitamins A, C, D, and E during pregnancy a
Wastewater has been recognized as a source of valuable energy and water resources, and high-salinity wastewater in particular provides an opportunity to harness salinity gradient energy. In this study, cation-selective graphitic carbon nitride/silk nanofiber (C3N4/SNF) nanofluidic membranes with different SNF amounts were fabricated and characterized. The C3N4/SNF membrane (with 10 wt% SNF) displa
