Öresund is a very dynamic economic area with numerous projects, there is a great need of a deeper understanding of the wave climate. The wave measurements currently available are scarce and they do not cover the whole area. For this reason, a modeled wave climate would be of interest and the results could be a starting point for different in depth analysis. The objective of this study was to prod
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly required of companies. However, CSR at state owned enterprises(SOEs)has not received much attention in the CSR literature. This thesis has the objective to add to knowledge on CSR of Icelandic SOEs. The objective led to three research questions: Q1. How do internal and external factors, affect the implementation and communication of CSR at stat
Climate change has emerged as the most prominent of the global environment issues and there is a need to evaluate its impact on the agriculture. General Circulation Models (GCMs) which are considered as the most advance tools for estimating future climate change scenarios operate on coarse resolutions. It is for this reason the climate change model MAGICC coupled to SCENGEN developed by the IPCC w
As an international actor it is preferable to make an effort to understand how your performance affects the long-term sustainability, both in local and global terms. Sustainability includes subjects such as integration between economical, social and environmental spheres. It can be achieved by reorganizing living conditions, reappraising economic sectors and work practices, develop technologies in
Background Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET usage in patients with prostate cancer is growing rapidly. Thus, novel risk-group definitions based on PSMA-PET are urgently needed for guidelines, clinical use, and trial study design. We report improved risk classification based on PSMA-PET Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE; PPP) nomograms (PPP3) to prognos
Industry accounts for 26.3 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions and 34 percent if we include the indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat. Reaching net-zero emissions in a few decades means that industry must also take unprecedent mitigation actions. Given the 15–25-year lifespan of major process equipment, all new industrial investments will need to be near net-zero emissions
Growing evidence shows that air pollution exposure plays a critical role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. Pollutants such as airborne particles smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) are linked to systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction, thereby increasing the risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke and myocardial infarction. Understanding the patho
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a significant global health burden, characterized by high incidence, poor prognosis, and limited response to monotherapies. The advent of bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) has introduced a novel therapeutic paradigm, enabling dual targeting of tumor-associated antigens and immune effectors to enhance antitumor immunity. This review provides a comprehensive overv
Climate change represents a major threat to global biodiversity and associated ecosystem functions, including pollination. In both natural and agricultural environments, semi-natural grasslands represent crucial foraging and nesting habitats for wild pollinators such as bumblebees, for which temporal population trends in these habitats remain understudied. Here, we use data from a large-scale syst
BACKGROUND Anaesthesiology represents a rapidly evolving medical specialty in global healthcare, currently covering advanced peri-operative, pre-hospital and in-hospital critical emergency management (CREM), intensive care medicine (ICM) and pain management. The aim of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) is to develop and promote a coordinated interdisciplinary and m
The immune control of tuberculosis (TB) infection could be influenced by pregnancy. To elucidate this, we longitudinally characterized Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-specific and nonspecific immune responses in women during pregnancy and postpartum. HIV-uninfected women without past or current active TB, and with blood samples available from the 1st/2nd trimester, 3rd trimester, and 9 months pos
Among the hundreds of known hot Jupiters (HJs), only five have been found to have companions on short-period orbits. Within this rare class of multiple planetary systems, the architecture of WASP-47 is unique, hosting an HJ (planet-b) with both an inner and an outer sub-Neptunian mass companion (-e and -d, respectively) as well as an additional non-transiting, long-period giant (-c). The small per
The food industry stands as one of the most vital manufacturing sectors globally, with an ever-increasing reliance on digitalization and technology-driven processes. However, this advancement comes with an inherent risk of cyberattacks, encompassing data breaches and system disruptions, which can severely impact production and disrupt the entire food supply chain. Consequently, such cyberthreats c

Context. The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby, late-K-dwarf with six transiting planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with radii ranging from ∼1.1 to 2.9 R⊕ and orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All the planets, but the innermost one, form a chain of Laplace resonances. The fine-tuning and fragility of such orbital configurations ensure that no significant scattering or co
Accurate prediction of spatial yield variations within individual fields is crucial for precision agriculture, as it enables optimized resource allocation and targeted crop management. In this study, we propose a novel framework that leverages remote sensing data and Graph Attention Networks (GATv2) to predict fine-scale yield variations for winter wheat at a high resolution (10 m × 10 m). The obj
Bee-mediated pollination plays a crucial role in sustaining global food production. However, while the demand for these pollination services is increasing, many bee species are in decline. To address this discrepancy, farmers use managed bee species to improve crop pollination. One key factor affecting pollination efficiency is the affinity for the crop of interest (i.e., the extent to which a bee
Purpose Distal radius fracture often compromises working ability, but clinical implications are less studied in men due to its lower incidence. This study therefore describes sick leave in men with distal radius fracture, specifically exploring the impact of patient- and fracture-related factors. Methods Professionally active men aged 20–65 with distal radius fracture were followed prospectively f
