Background Carotid and coronary atherosclerosis are critical determinants of cardiovascular risk, yet their interrelationship in middle-aged populations is incompletely understood. This study assessed carotid plaque composition, risk-factor associations, coronary disease, and sex differences in a subclinical cohort. Methods Within the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study, 533 asymptomatic indivi

High-resolution rainfall data are essential for various hydrological applications such as flood modeling, soil erosivity studies, and urban water management. However, the scarcity of subdaily data, particularly in remote regions, necessitates reliable disaggregation methods to derive finer temporal resolutions from daily rainfall records. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach combining the

Rapporten analyserar hur ansvar, roller och samverkansformer mellan offentliga och privata aktörer behöver utformas för att hantera omfattande samhällsomställningar, med fokus på klimatomställningen. Industrins, och energisystemens omställning kräver mer än gradvisa anpassningar. Rapporten betonar att djupgående strukturförändringar aktualiserar problem som teknologiska inlåsningar, koordineringss

Context: Nitrate contamination of groundwater, driven by human activities such as agriculture and urbanization, poses a significant global challenge. Objective: We aimed to identify the major drivers of nitrogen load (nitrogen pollution generation potential) and quantify spatial disparities in nitrogen load productivity across administrative divisions in the Kumamoto area from 1960 to 2020 under e

Citrus production is increasingly constrained worldwide by rising soil salinity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. In Tunisia, the expansion of saline soils represents a major abiotic stress limiting orchard productivity. The identification of salt-tolerant rootstocks has therefore become a priority, especially as alternatives to sour orange (SO, Citrus aurantium L.), which is highly sus

Water has long been a strategic resource in the semi-arid landscapes of Mesopotamia, a region spanning Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers form the lifeline of societies. As water scarcity intensifies due to a combination of climatic stressors and anthropogenic pressures, the governance of transboundary rivers has become critical for ensuring health, food security, and r

Artikeln analyserar hur Århuskonventionens tredje pelare om allmänhetens tillgång till rättslig prövning har implementerats i svensk rätt och därefter utvecklats genom EU‑domstolens praxis och svenska domstolsavgöranden. Analysen exemplifierar genom att ta sin utgångspunkt i miljöorganisationers talerätt i skogsbruksfrågor. Lagstiftarens ursprungliga intentioner vid införlivandet (särskilt Ds 2004

Introduction: Ultra-severe traumatic brain injury (us-TBI), defined as Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS) of five-three, is associated with high mortality and severe morbidity amongst survivors. However, in selected patients a favourable recovery may still be achieved. Research question: We aimed to characterise what clinical parameters can be used as prognosticators in us-TBI patients. Material and m

Despite its promise, biodiesel production via the supercritical methanol (SCM) process has stalled due to limited understanding of interactions among key operating parameters and process-modeling gaps, resulting in contradictory techno-economic (TEA) and life-cycle carbon footprint assessments. In the present study, we integrate experimental optimization with techno-economic, carbon footprint, and
