BACKGROUND: The evidence linking sugar intake to cardiovascular disease risk remains largely inconclusive, with variations observed across different subgroups of sugar intake. In addition, studies on genetic markers of sugar intake are scarce, especially for different sugar subgroups.OBJECTIVE: This genome-wide association study (GWAS) aimed to investigate genetic variants associated with the inta

Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka hur naturbaserade bygglösningar kan användas i urbana miljöer för att främja biologisk mångfald. Arbetet undersöker också vilka utmaningar och möjligheter som finns för aktörer inom Sveriges byggbransch som arbetar med implementering av dessa lösningar samt hur de upplever nuvarande styrmedel och lagstiftningar. Bakgrunden till studien bygger på den urbanis

This chapter critically examines the European Union's (EU) discourse towards the Southern Neighbourhood. The central argument is that, following poststructuralism, the EU's construction of itself as an actor in the region is problematic, given its claims to civilizational values and the imposition of norms of good governance that have been legitimised through the framework of Normative Power Europ

Free use and redistribution of data (i.e., Open Data) increases the reproducibility, transparency, and pace of aquatic sciences research. However, barriers to both data users and data providers may limit the adoption of Open Data practices. Here, we describe common Open Data challenges faced by data users and data providers within the aquatic sciences community (i.e., oceanography, limnology, hydr

Feather mites play an important role in bird communities, covering a wide spectrum of associations with their hosts, ranging from parasitic to mutualistic relations. As a result of long co-evolution with their warm-blooded hosts, this diverse group of arthropods can be found in a wide range of environments where their hosts occur, including the high Arctic. The feather mite fauna of Greenland is p

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure and cardiac transplantation. We report a genome-wide association study and multi-trait analysis of DCM (14,256 cases) and three left ventricular traits (36,203 UK Biobank participants). We identified 80 genomic risk loci and prioritized 62 putative effector genes, including several with rare variant DCM associations (MAP3K7, NEDD4L a

In this chapter, we explore mathematical tools for assessing the stability, convergence, and boundedness of trajectories in generally nonlinear dynamical systems. We delve into the seminal theorems introduced by A. Lyapunov which are primarily concerned with the stability of equilibrium points. The chapter progresses to discuss the extension of Lyapunov's Theory, due to LaSalle, aimed at assessing

Retrieving episodic memories often involves reconstructing both their semantic content and the emotional context in which they occurred. However, the neural mechanisms that differentiate these forms of reinstatement remain poorly understood. This event-related potential (ERP) study examines how semantic category and emotional valence are reinstated during memory retrieval.Seventy participants enco

Ultrasound Optical Tomography (UOT) combines the high-resolution imaging capability of ultrasound with measurements of light absorption and scattering properties of human tissue. In this work, UOT working at 794.2 nm wavelength and equipped with a spectral hole burning filter was used to image through 5 cm thick tissue phantoms with embedded cubic 12 × 12 × 12 mm3 inclusions at a 2.5 cm depth. In

Abstract: The radiative decays χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ and χc1(3872) → J/ψγ are used to probe the nature of the χc1(3872) state using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. Using the B+ → χc1(3872)K+ decay, the χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ process is observed for the first time and the ratio of its partial width to that of the χc1(387
