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
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
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
Biomanufacturing increasingly relies on computational modeling to strengthen process understanding, speed up process development, scale-up and scale-down, improve experimental design, and reduce reliance on costly and laborious wet lab activities. Here we present CADET-Hub, a modular web-based platform for biomanufacturing and stability modeling, developed within the Inno4Vac project. CADET-Hub un
The chapter explores the communal economics of Kenyan table-banks—grassroots savings and loan groups known as chamas—as an alternative financial model rooted in collective effort and mutual support. Through ethnographic insights from rural and urban Kenya, the chapter examines how table-banks transform savings, credit, and interest from individual transactions into a shared commons. Unlike Western
Efficiency is a pervasive yet insufficiently challenged managerial principle and an integral part of business school academia. However, while there is compelling evidence that efficiency gains can have severe undesirable social and ecological consequences that reduce overall welfare both in terms of well-being and natural resources, business school academsia remains ill-equipped to adequately unde
Att förstå komplexa och skiftande institutionella ramar har länge varit en viktig fråga inom socialvetenskaplig forskning. Nu mer än någonsin tidigare aktualiseras detta av den nya socialtjänstlagen som betonar tidiga socialarbetarinsatser som sker på frivillig basis och med förtroende som grund, medan andra delar av socialt arbete präglas av kontroll och disciplin. I ”Take Away-studien” har vi föUnderstanding complex and shifting institutional frameworks has long been relevant to social work research. Now more than ever, this is brought to a head by the new Social Services Act that emphasizes early social work interventions that take place on a voluntary basis and with trust as a foundation, while other parts of social work are characterized by control and discipline. In the “Take Away-st
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a central driver of bacterial evolution that utilises mobile genetic elements (MGEs) to enable the rapid acquisition and dissemination of genetic traits across microbial populations. Among these traits, defence systems against bacteriophages play a critical role in shaping host-parasite interactions and microbial community dynamics. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, o
The decarbonisation of existing building stocks increasingly depends on renovation, with one-stop shops (OSS) emerging as prominent delivery models designed to reduce complexity and accelerate uptake. However, prevailing renovation strategies remain dominated by performance-oriented paradigms that prioritise modelled energy performance targets and efficiency ratios, understood in energy use per un
The EU Mission on Climate-neutral and Smart Cities aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030. However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate, and create new patterns of urban injustices, making climate justice a key concern in urban climate governance. Nevertheless, research on the integration of climate justice into urban mitigation strategies a
Elbussar har blivit en allt vanligare syn i stadstrafiken de senaste åren. På kort tid har utvecklingen gått från enstaka fordon och testprojekt till elektrifiering av en betydande del av den svenska bussflottan. Elektrifiering av busstrafiken anses vara en viktig del i att nå mål om minskad klimatpåverkan och nollutsläpp, och kollektivtrafiken har kommit längre än andra delar av transportsektorn
Sweden is often regarded as one of the most progressive countries in terms of legislation and policies protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) people. Such measures aim to promote wellbeing among LGBTQ individuals, who generally report more negative experiences compared to heterosexual cisgender people. Swedish legislation requires employers to take active measure
Background and AimsThe life expectancy of adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) has improved, thus shifting the research focus towards age-related comorbidities to continue to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate all-cause mortality and recurrent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in adults with and without congenital heart disease.MethodsA nationwide case control
Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 confer high risks of breast cancer. However, evidence suggests that these risks are modified by other genetic or environmental factors that cluster in families. A recent genome-wide association study has shown that common alleles at single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FGFR2 (rs2981582), TNRC9 (rs3803662), and MAP3K1 (rs889312) are associated with increas
BackgroundPediatric heart-lung transplantation (pHLTx) remains the only treatment option for children with significant and fixed elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the setting of uncorrectable end-stage heart disease. We aimed to determine the characteristics, waiting list course and long-term outcomes for children listed for pHLTx within the Scandiatransplant region.MethodsThis w
Background and Objectives – Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is characterized by an amnestic- and limbic-predominant phenotype, which can mimic Alzheimer disease (AD). In a memory clinic cohort, we tested whether clinical criteria for LATE can detect a clinical profile of LATE that is distinct from AD.Methods – In this retrospective examination of a longitudinal memory c
Introduction – Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a chronic disease to vessels and nerves caused by vibrations. In Sweden, the medical check-up for vibrations (MCV) implements the EU surveillance system to detect early cases. No earlier research has shown participation in MCVs, nor why MCVs is avoided. We aimed to improve the understanding on avoidance of MCVs among vibration-exposed workers. M
This study presents an integrated simulation framework that combines agent-based transport modeling with probabilistic load-flow analysis to quantify power system loading of long-haul heavy-duty electrification. The approach is applied to a case study considering fully electrified road freight in the Skåne region in Sweden, using high-resolution transport demand data and the actual power grid mode
