Ultracold quantum gases with long-range anisotropic interactions host novel exotic phases of matter, such as supersolids, exhibiting both rigid and superfluid characteristics. The impact of this interplay on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of dipolar gases, and in particular its connection with universal turbulent behavior, remains highly unexplored. Here, upon considering a dipolar Bose-Einstein
Decarbonizing the existing building stock is essential, especially as buildings in the EU (85% built before 2000) account for a third of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines adaptive reuse of underutilized structures as a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction. It addresses the surplus of redundant buildings, driven partly by needs for heritage conservat
Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) affects immune function, bone health, and reproduction. The precursor of 25(OH)D3, vitamin D3, is synthesized upon ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure, the levels of which vary. Methods: In a one-year observational study, we used multiple statistical approaches to examine 25(OH)D3 metabolism and UV exposure in 217 healthy men (aged 30–50 years) not using
Objective: Childhood stunting is a significant health issue in Rwanda, particularly within the Northern Province. While demographic and socio-economic factors have been more extensively studied, the impact of environmental and climatic factors on stunting prevalence has received less attention. This study aimed to determine if these factors could be used to better predict localized variations in h
In urban growth modeling methods, researchers typically determine an appropriate scale based on various factors such as the extent of the study area, the scale of available data, and the level of detail required. With rapid urbanization, cities and towns have grown dramatically, leading to the emergence of numerous megalopolitan areas worldwide. In these areas, which include small and large cities
Aerosols can influence vegetation through multiple processes, yet the resulting biophysical climate feedback from the vegetation response remains poorly understood. Here, using an ensemble of Earth system models and an observation-based empirical model, we show that the vegetation response to complete removal of anthropogenic aerosols can either cool or warm the local climate by up to 0.039 ± 0.02
This article examines how the Muslim veil and call to prayer are constructed as social problems in motions to the Swedish parliament between 2010 and 2024. Analyzing 120 political proposals, the study reveals how these religious practices are portrayed as problematic by constructing them as threatening to Swedish values, particularly gender equality and secularism. Using Carol Lee Bacchi’s “What’s
Objective To investigate the relationship between active commuting and atherosclerosis in middle age using state-of-the-art coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) and included 23 722 randomly recruited individuals aged 50–64 years from six different regions in Sweden. The exposure was commuting mode, ass
Introduction/Background: Measurement of umbilical cord blood gasesat birth is the gold standard of capturing the metabolic state of the newborn. Dual sampling of umbilical cord vessels is mandatory, yet the longterm predictive value of venoarterial differences, ΔpH, remain undetermined. Previously, large ΔpH showed a protective effect against adverseneonatal outcomes.Objectives: To investigate the
In the late Middle Ages, hundreds of Christians from all over Europe sent supplications to the Papal Curia to be freed from promises made under duress. This article analyses the supplications about forced marriages that were submitted to the Apostolic Penitentiary during the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII (1484–92). The study is based on mainly unedited source material that has not been investi
Timely, detailed information on forest composition is essential for effective management, biodiversity protection, and understanding ecosystem dynamics. This study maps the distribution of seven dominant tree species in Swedish forests and produces spatially explicit, pixel-level estimates of classification uncertainty. The mapping framework integrates multitemporal Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face unique challenges in integrating advanced digital technologies due to limited resources and organizational constraints. While much attention has been given to large firms' adoption of big data analytics (BDA) and artificial intelligence (AI), less is known about how SMEs can leverage these tools effectively. This study addresses the research que
Objectives This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of rechargeable (RC) and nonrechargeable, primary cell (PC) traditional and multimodal spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems in combination with conventional medical management (CMM) compared with CMM alone in patients with persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2 (PSPS-2) with low back/leg pain that remains despite surgery. Material and Methods
This study investigates whether a genderless second language (L2; English) reshapes grammatical gender (GG) effects derived from two gendered first languages (L1s; Ukrainian and Russian) in multilinguals. Previous work showed that when GG aligns across these L1s, it influences categorisation and recall of multilinguals, whereas mismatching L1s yield effects from the more proficient L1 only on cate
Background Assessment of left ventricular function and dimensions is central for cardiac diagnostic imaging with cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) and myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS). The aim of this study was to compare [13N]NH3 PET and MPS, head-to-head, for assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and volumes using cardiac magnetic r
Purpose: – We sought to develop an equation, the Alma College Estimation (ACE) equation, to estimate survival equivalent to the Duke treadmill score (DTS) and Duke nomogram. Methods: – Combinations of ST segment deviation (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm), angina (0 = none, 1 = nonlimiting, and 2 = limiting), and metabolic equivalents of task (2–20) were graphed on the Duke nomogram, and the ACE equation was
Aim: To explore a set of psychosocial and behavioural correlates of self perceptions of aging among geriatric healthcare professionals. Findings: Higher psychological resilience was associated with lower perceptions of psychosocial loss and more favourable views of ageing as psychological growth, while subjective age showed a strong association with the interpretation of physical changes. Physical
Från de första kyrkorna på 900-talet och fram till idag har kyrkor uppförts och försvunnit igen. Kyrkor har ersatts av nya på samma plats eller på andra platser. Kyrkor har även lagts ner av olika anledningar. Kyrkorna har således både ökat och minskat i antal. Idag har många kyrkor blivit övertaliga och används därför mer sällan, i några fall tillåts de förfalla, får nya funktioner eller säljs. TFrom the first churches in the 9th century to the present day, churches have been built and then disappeared again. Churches have been replaced by new ones in the same or other locations. Or churches have been closed for various reasons. The churches have thus increased in number and decreased again. Today, many churches have become redundant and are therefore used less frequently, in some cases t
We introduce MEGATRON, a new galaxy formation model for cosmological radiation hydrodynamics simulations of high-redshift galaxies. The model accounts for the non-equilibrium chemistry and heating/cooling processes of ≥ 80 atoms, ions, and molecules, coupled to on-the-fly radiation transfer. We apply the model in a cosmological setting to the formation of a 109 M⊙halo at z = 6, and run 25 realizat
