[Background/Context] AI assistants like GitHub Copilot are transforming software engineering; several studies have highlighted productivity improvements. However, their impact on code quality, particularly in terms of maintainability, requires further investigation. [Objective/Aim] This study aims to examine the influence of AI assistants on software maintainability, specifically assessing how the
Improving spark-ignition engines in terms of efficiency and compatibility with renewable fuels is essential for ensuring energy security, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. However, electrode wear of spark plugs, especially under conditions involving novel fuels and lean mixtures, becomes a significant technical challenge. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the interactions between spark di
Disseminating research in wildlife management is challenging. This study explores how framing four information texts influenced Swedish crop farmers’ (n = 1,182) perceived ability to cope with wild geese, and their behavioral intentions to implement goose damage prevention strategies. A digital survey, based on a before–after randomized controlled trial, evaluated the impact of message framing wit
Public squares are important spaces for social interaction, yet the influence of lighting on people’s experience and social interaction in such spaces after dark is poorly understood. This study examines users’ environmental appraisals and self-reported social interaction in two public squares in Sweden, comparing daylight with electric lighting after dark. The results show that perceived atmosphe
Emerging evidence from diverse populations highlights the therapeutic benefits of the Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) in managing Crohn’s Disease. To improve the efficacy of the CDED, there is a need to focus on cultural adaptation and individualization to support dietary adherence to this advanced nutritional therapy. This paper provides a theoretical framework for modifying the CDED to ali
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The role of early-life overall diet in celiac disease risk is not well explored. The aim was to investigate associations of dietary diversity, and healthy eating in the second year of life with subsequent celiac disease risk.METHODS: In 64,315 children born 2002-2009 with available data in the Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study, a Dietary Diversity Score (0-4) and Healthy
Automated sorption balances are widely used for characterizing the interaction of water vapor with hygroscopic materials. This paper is part of an interlaboratory study investigating the stability and performance of automated sorption balances. A previous paper in this study investigated the mass, temperature, and relative humidity (RH) stability of automated sorption balances by looking at the ma
Aim: Grass-yellow butterflies (Eurema) are a group of pantropical Pieridae distributed throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa and the New World. However, little is known about their diversification, including the biogeographic mechanism(s) explaining their circumglobal distribution. We present the first densely sampled, time-calibrated phylogeny and biogeographic reconstruction of grass-yellows to c
Accurate accounting of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions and removals is central to tracking progress toward climate mitigation and for monitoring potential climate-change feedbacks. GHG budgeting and reporting can follow either the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change methodologies for National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (NGHGI) reporting or use atmospheric-based “top-down” (TD) inversions or pro
Anoxic and hypoxic environments serve as habitats for diverse microorganisms, including unicellular eukaryotes (protists) and prokaryotes. To thrive in low-oxygen environments, protists and prokaryotes often establish specialized metabolic cross-feeding associations, such as syntrophy, with other microorganisms. Previous studies show that the breviate protist Lenisia limosa engages in a mutualisti
Interdisciplinary dialogues between political history, environmental history, and the history of science and technology have significantly expanded in recent years. In this context, research on engineers as a key professional group in the material construction of the state has addressed both the political and material dimensions of their work, particularly during the Francoist dictatorship. Howeve
We study the single-photon purity of a resonantly driven single-photon source in the realistic scenario where the excitation laser pulse can leak into the detection path. We find that the duration of the excitation pulse strongly influences the quality of the single-photon source. We calculate the influence of this on the effective parameters describing the most relevant properties, including the
Two major debates frame Arctic prehistory: the emergence of specialized maritime economies that support sedentism and growing socio-political complexity, and the role of these economies in the transition from Paleo-Inuit to Neo-Inuit traditions. This shift, originating in the Bering Strait, led to Thule Inuit dispersal across the Arctic, impacting Indigenous communities today. However, understandi
