Increasing frequency and intensity of droughts threaten grassland ecosystems. Semi-natural grasslands vary in age from ancient to younger sites established on former arable land. While species richness and composition are known to affect drought resilience, little is known about how grassland age shapes drought responses through eco-evolutionary processes at the plant population level. We explored

Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen-containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and mammals. In this review, we focus on the role of pyrazine

Methacrylated Pluronic triblock copolymers are widely used as photo-cross-linkable hydrogels, yet the effect of terminal methacrylation on self-assembly and thermoreversible gelation prior to cross-linking remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically investigate how the degree of methacrylation influences micellization, micelle packing, and gelation in Pluronic F127 using differential scanni

Technological advances in computed tomography (CT) have highlighted limitations of traditional dose descriptors such as computed tomography dose indexvol and dose-length product, particularly for wide-beam and modulated acquisitions. This study investigates a CT-specific, operational air kerma–area product derived from time-resolved measurements using small solid-state dosemeters mounted at the ga

Behavioral, physiological, and life-history adaptations to the lunar cycle are global phenomena across trophic levels and ecosystems yet remain poorly understood because of the challenges of studying free-living organisms at night. We show that the lunar cycle regulates both daily foraging activity and foraging success in the red-necked nightjar-a nocturnal avian insectivore-and that moonless peri

The fall of 2022, with the election success of a coalition of right wing and ethnoracist parties, marks the transition from a racialized to a racist state in Sweden. We analyse the discourses of three welfare projects in Swedish racial capitalism - Keynesian, Neoliberal, and ethnoracist - in relation to safety/security.Methodologically, we use CDA analysing elite institutional texts (party documen

The structure and function of many proteins are regulated post-translationally through glycan attachment. These glycans, assembled via competing enzymatic reactions, generate diverse glycoform populations - variants sharing a protein backbone but differing in glycan structures. While current analyses often focus on individual glycoforms, we demonstrate that population-level glycoform analysis - in

Transforming Chinese Patriarchy, edited by Gonçalo D. Santos and Stevan Harrell, is athought-provoking collection of meditations upon changes in the gendered landscape ofcontemporary Chinese society. The book focuses on“gender systems”primarily as anelement of“family systems”, and it deals with“patriarchal configurations”as seen througha lens that is both gendered and inter-generational. It contai

INTRODUCTION: People with longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP) are often referred to orthopaedic care. Physical therapist-led interventions are recommended in consensus statements as the first line of treatment, but it is unknown if structured interventions are more effective than usual care. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured physical therapist-led treatment

Antibiotic persistence is a phenomenon, where a small fraction of a bacterial population expresses a phenotypic variation that allows them to survive antibiotic treatment, which is lethal to the rest of the population. These cells are called persisters cells, and their occurrence has been associated with recurrent disease. Streptococcus agalactiae is a human pathobiont, able to cause invasive infe

Rapporten visar att det finns en gedigen vetenskaplig evidensbas för att utforma åtgärder inom den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken som bidrar till restaurering av jordbrukslandskap i linje med EU:s naturrestaureringsförordning. Evidensbasen kan stärkas genom en systematisk sammanställning av resultat från restaureringsprojekt, och författarna föreslår adaptiv restaurering för att hantera kontextbero

The chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays an important role as chemoattractant for monocytes in atherosclerosis. It is established that MCP-1 is produced by vascular smooth muscle cells, but the underlying mechanisms for its release are not identified. Here, we investigate production and secretion of MCP-1 in primary human coronary artery smooth muscle cells. We demonstrate th

This study examines the ateljé system as a studio-based teaching model used in the first two years of architectural education at Lund University between 2012 and 2022. Based on teaching material, student work, course structures, and the author’s experience, it analyses how learning develops through iterative design work, continuous feedback, and interaction between students.The study shows how con
