BACKGROUNDThe Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with the ability to infest and kill vigorous trees through pheromone-mediated mass attacks. During outbreaks, I. typographus has been observed to occasionally attack Scots pine (SP, Pinus sylvestris). We investigated in the laboratory whether I. typographus is attracted
Tuberculosis (TB) patients who are diagnosed but not registered and initiated on TB treatment are categorised as initial loss to follow-up (ILTFU). ILTFU is a key driver of morbidity and mortality associated with TB and is a contributing factor to high TB transmission rates. LINKEDin was a quasi-experimental study which evaluated two specific interventions for reducing ILTFU in three high-TB burde
The ALICE Collaboration presents a new suite of jet substructure measurements in Pb–Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 [Figure presented]. These measurements provide access to the internal structure of jets via the momentum and angle of their constituents, probing how the quark–gluon plasma modifies jets, an effect known as jet quenching. Jet grooming additio
Background: Breathlessness on exertion is a common, distressing, and limiting symptom that can be quantified on incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) using normative reference equations. Research Question: Is the breathlessness abnormality best uncovered and assessed at symptom limitation (peak exercise) compared with submaximal exercise intensities? Study Design and Methods: This wa
Introduction: Oesophageal resection carries significant morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) advances in medical research enable enhanced predictions, flexibility, and interpretability, especially for complex interactions and nonlinear relationships. Material and methods: We used a register-based case-control design nested within prospectively collected data from the Swedish Natio
LRRK2-PD represents the most common form of autosomal dominant Parkinson’s disease. We identified the LRRK2 p.L1795F variant in three families and six additional unrelated cases using genetic data from over 50,000 individuals. Carriers with available genotyping data shared a common haplotype. The clinical presentation resembles other LRRK2-PD forms. Combined with published functional evidence show
Objectives: To identify serum and salivary gland proteomic biomarkers in primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD), evaluate their correlation with tissue inflammation, and relate findings to clinical, autoantibody, and genetic profiles. Methods: Paired salivary gland extracts and serum samples from patients with SjD (n = 81) and sicca controls (n = 19), and serum from larger Swedish (SjD n = 456; controls
Adjustable magnetic field sources have become indispensable in advanced material characterization techniques. Among these, permanent magnet assemblies offer significant advantages by reducing power consumption and minimizing Joule heating. In this work, we report on the development and integration of a tunable magnetic sample environment at the SoftiMAX beamline of the MAX IV synchrotron, employin
In analogy with the factorization of representations of adelic groups as restricted products of representations of local groups, we study restricted tensor products of Hilbert C⁎[jls-end-space/]-modules and of C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences. The construction produces global C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences from compatible collections of local C⁎[jls-end-space/]-correspondences. When applied
Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma
While the direct toxicological effects of metal exposure on animals, including birds, are well documented, indirect mechanisms remain poorly understood. This applies to effects on microbiota, despite the emerging evidence of its crucial role in host's physiological functions. We investigated the metal exposure, growth, and fledging of great tits (Parus major) in six rural vs. industrial/urban area
Introduction: Despite being implicated in a wide spectrum of community- and healthcare-acquired infections, anaerobes have not yet been incorporated into systematic surveillance programs in Europe. Methods: We conducted a multicentre retrospective observational study analysing all anaerobic strains isolated from blood cultures in 44 European Hospital Centres over a 4-y period (2020–2023). Diagnost
Time-domain induced polarization (TDIP) data carry spectral information that can be used for petrophysical interpretation. At the same time, TDIP data can be collected in the field more efficiently than frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) data, thanks to the use of square-wave signals. However, TDIP field data are prone to noise, particularly strong near industrial installations and urban
Despite being subject to a multitude of investigations, the effect of carrier particle size on the performance of adhesive mixtures for inhalation is still not well understood. This study, involving three differently sized lactose carriers, all with the regular ‘tomahawk’ particle shape, aims to provide fundamental insight into this topic. Fine particle fraction (FPF) data for binary formulations
Urban climate resilience planning often overlooks the subsurface, despite its potential to mitigate flooding, heat stress, and drought. To demonstrate these potentials, we developed thematic Geosystem Service (GS) maps for Malmö, Sweden, to support the integration of the subsurface into climate adaptation strategies. This study identifies GS relevant to the local context, proposes indicators for m
We consider a class of external potentials on the complex plane C for which the coincidence set to the obstacle problem contains a Jordan curve in the exterior of the droplet. We refer to this curve as a spectral outpost. We study the corresponding Coulomb gas at β=2[jls-end-space/].Generalizing recent work in the radially symmetric case, we prove that the number of particles which fall near the s
Background: Sedation is often provided to resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients to tolerate post-cardiac arrest care, including temperature management. However, the evidence of benefit or harm from routinely administered deep sedation after cardiac arrest is limited. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of continuous deep sedation compared to minimal sedation o
Objectives: Infectious diseases are often associated with decline in quality of life. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between personal history of communicable, i.e., infectious and parasitic diseases and self-rated health. Study design: Secondary analysis of a large dataset multi-country observational study. Methods: We used a four-pronged analysis approach to investigate whet
The congenital heart disease (CHD) population has seen substantial growth due to advancements in paediatric cardiac care, cardiothoracic surgery, anaesthesia, and intensive care. Although improved surgical interventions have enhanced survival rates for even the most severe defects, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, most CHD patients remain palliated rather than cured, requiring lifelong exp
