BACKGROUND: The endosymbiotic relationship between Wolbachia bacteria and insects has been of interest for many years due to their diverse types of host reproductive phenotypic manipulation and potential role in the host's evolutionary history and population dynamics. Even though infection rates are high in Lepidoptera and specifically in butterflies, and reproductive manipulation is present in th

We aimed to investigate the school performance gap and its potential trend from 2010 to 2020 in non-immigrant and second-generation immigrant children in Sweden, whether parental mental disorders and low socioeconomic status contribute to this gap and its trends, and whether the effects of these factors differ by immigration status. We used multiple Swedish population registers, including 829,787

Since the Middle Ages, there have been Crown estates in Sweden that were to be used by the King. In 1809-10, an agreement was reached between King and Parliament about the financing of the expenses of the Royal Family and the Royal Household and of the right of the King and the Royal Family to use and govern the Royal Palaces. This agreement is still in force, although it has been amended as regarSince the Middle Ages, there have been Crown estates in Sweden that were to be used by the King.

Over the years, the field of landslide disaster research has amassed a wealth of data and specialized knowledge. However, these resources originate from a wide array of sources and often feature complex data structures, highlighting a persistent lack of methods to integrate multi-source, heterogeneous data. Traditional landslide monitoring methods typically focus on singular monitoring targets and

The pretreatment of post-consumer waste viscose before enzymatic hydrolysis was tested and evaluated to develop a tertiary recycling strategy for waste viscose, as no such strategy currently exists. There were differences between hydrolyzability of pre-consumer and post-consumer viscose, as we obtained 100% glucose yield from pre-consumer viscose while only 60-80% could be achieved from post-consu

Non-metropolitan regions are considered more exposed to external shocks than their metropolitan counterparts, while having lower capacities to change. However, there is considerable variation among non-metropolitan regions. We argue that this variation can be captured theoretically by modelling the dynamic interplay between perceived and real opportunity spaces and agency. We empirically analyse r

The Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola is a globally threatened, long-distance migratory passerine that continues to decline in abundance and range. Studies throughout its annual cycle are needed, including during migration, when information on habitat availability and usage are important for conservation. Here, the autumn occurrence (distribution, abundance, phenology) of Aquatic Warblers in

Background: A juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm is defined as a short (less than 4mm) or no-neck aneurysm, which is often treated with open or complex endovascular repair. The evidence to support the best treatment strategy is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and mid-term outcomes of elective open surgical repair or fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair for juxtarenal a

Background: We investigated whether psychosocial determinants self-efficacy and social support are associated with Health-Related Quality of Life in hemodialysis patients enrolled in the CONVINCE trial. Methods: We used baseline data from the cohort of patients involved in the CONVINCE randomized trial of hemodiafiltration versus hemodialysis. Measures included age, gender, relationship status, ch

Integrating low-power wearable systems into routine health monitoring is an ongoing challenge. Recent advances in the computation capabilities of wearables make it possible to target complex scenarios by exploiting multiple biosignals and using high-performance algorithms, such as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). However, there is a tradeoff between the algorithms' performance and the low-power requir

The exhibition marks the Norwegian debut of Værslev’s most recent series of works, the curtain paintings, previously seen at Galerie Mehdi Chouakri in Berlin and Andrew Kreps in New York.

X-ray and neutron crystallography, as well as cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), are the most common methods to obtain atomic structures of biological macromolecules. A feature they all have in common is that, at typical resolutions, the experimental data need to be supplemented by empirical restraints, ensuring that the final structure is chemically reasonable. The restraints are accurate f

Background Most women who are high-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) positive in a cervical cancer screening test will spontaneously heal from their infection. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended by the World Health Organization as a triage test for cervical screening, however its accuracy as a triage test has been questioned. In this study, we aimed to examine the sensitivity

This work consists of large strips of painted cotton (i.e., canvas) arranged and displayed as sets of bunched-up curtains.

The recent popularity of audiobooks has led to new ways of using the format as publishers and producers reproduce and “reactualise” older works by adapting them into audio. The article examines this development, focusing on the case of Storytel’s 2022 audio adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 and the marketing campaign surrounding it, combining a publishing studies approach (Squires 2007; Murray 20

From the press text by Hans Dieter Huber:"For his new curtain objects, he uses thin cotton of the kind used in shirt production. He primes it very thinly with 20-30 layers of colour in an aqueous solution. These can be normal colour pigments, but also metal pigments. He uses a long stick with a lambskin roller to apply the paint. This is important for him in order to achieve a certain distance fro

Överskuldsättning innebär en situation där en individs svårigheter att återbetala sina skulder ger upphov till en kontrollförlust över ekonomin. Överskuldsättning är ett stort och växande problem i Sverige som ger upphov till en rad olika folkhälsoproblem. Unga vuxna personer är en särskilt sårbar grupp för att hamna i skuldsättningsproblem. Fokus i detta kapitel är att analysera unga vuxna person
