The opening of habitats associated with the emergence of C4 grasslands during the Neogene had a massive influence on the evolution of plant and animal communities. Strikingly, the impacts of grassland expansion on species diversification in Africa, where the largest surface of grasslands and savannas in the world is located, are not well understood. To explore the impact of habitat opening, we inv

Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (BCDI) has emerged as a powerful technique for strain imaging and morphology reconstruction of nanometre-scale crystals. However, BCDI often suffers from angular distortions that appear during data acquisition, caused by radiation pressure, heating or imperfect scanning stages. This limits the applicability of BCDI, in particular for small crystals and high

Background: Patients with ruptured gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) have poor prognosis. Little information is available about how adjuvant imatinib influences survival. Methods: We explored recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with ruptured GIST who participated in a randomised trial (SSG XVIII/AIO), where 400 patients with high-risk GIST were allocated to ad

On October 9, 2023, Harvard University Professor Claudia Goldin received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, a landmark achievement that not only celebrates her outstanding contributions but also highlights the profound impact an economist can have on society.

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential for sustainable development. This chapter offers an overview of gender inequalities in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, delving into the historical context of such disparities. The chapter highlights the significant progress made through the implementation of legal frameworks and policies. However, despite the progress made, gender ine

PurposeCritical infrastructure (CI) sectors and their resilience are vital for societies to function. In many countries, vital societal functions (VSFs) and CIs depend on inter-organizational and international supply chains (SCs) which combine public and private actors with often competing interests and unclear responsibilities that create discontents. While collaborative supply chain risk managem

Utställningskatalog utgiven i samband med solo utställning på Färgfabriken och mottagande av Beckers konstnärsstipendium.

Publikation som gjordes i samband med utställningen Just in time, men ingen traditionell utställningskatalog. Innehåller texter av Gunnar Olsson, Professor emeritus i ekonomisk geografi vid uppsala universitet, som relaterade till utställningen samt några tryck gjorda av bilder från en videoverker "Different Trains". Ett bland flera resultat av det konstnärliga projektet "Mapping and projecting".

Cross-border multi-modal and railway transportation often faces different risks and problems creating delays, sometimes driven by technical or administrative discontents between countries. For cold supply chains, the risks of such delays get even more important to understand and handle, due to the perishable characteristics of the goods. While some previous research has dealt with risk assessment

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how different innovation efforts can support multinational enterprises’ (MNEs’) pursuits of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in emerging markets and under what circumstances they are applied. Design/methodology/approach: The article comprises in-depth case studies on two high-profile Swedish MNEs: a telecom firm and a fast-fashion firm, with dat

This study aimed to identify characteristics of workers experiencing health problems without a decline in labor productivity to address presenteeism. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 554 workers in Japan, with a median age of 43 years. Participants reported any health problems in the past month, along with job stressors, stress responses, social support, and job and life satisfaction us

Background: Genital malformations are frequently diagnosed in patients with VACTERL, but are currently not included in the acronym. This study aimed to analyze the frequency of genital anomalies in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) and/or anorectal malformation (ARM), with a subgroup analysis of children fulfilling the VACTERL criteria. Method: This was a cross-sectional retrospective analysis

Animal migration is a fascinating phenomenon that has puzzled mankind since the time of ancient Greece. It is a process widespread across a varied range of taxa and it shines especially in birds which, because of their mobility, display an amazing diversity of routes and strategies. With the advances in tracking devices and improvements of sequencing technologies, recent work provides support for

Smart polymers have received much attention due to their different responses to the induced stimuli. Polymers with fluorescent properties are also appealing for their potential applications in fluorescence chemosensors, optoelectronics, molecular thermometers, organic light-emitting diodes, molecular imaging, storage data security, drug delivery carriers, and encryption. Fluorescence resonance ene

Stimuli-responsive polymer nanoparticles were synthesized by surfactant-free dispersion polymerization of styrene and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) in three different contents of divinylbenzene intraparticle crosslinking agent. Incorporation of the hydrophilic DMAEMA comonomer during the polymerization yielded pH-responsive nanogels with a higher size than the polystyrene nanopartic

Academic discussion of climate-related human mobility has understandably focused on the places where people are especially vulnerable to climate-related harm: the Global South. Yet, the unique biophysical, legal and socio-political characteristics of the Nordic region, as well as its roles as both ‘home’ and ‘host’ to climate-related mobilities, justify its independent attention. Filling this lacu

Dual temperature- and photoresponsive polymer nanoparticles with sensitivity toward temperature variation through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-assisted white light emission (WLE) were synthesized using distillation-precipitation polymerization. A fluorescence chemosensor of temperature, white light-emitting anticounterfeiting inks, and different products for security encryption of
