During 2024, an intensive 114CO2 flask sampling campaign was conducted at 12 sampling stations across Europe as part of the CO2MVS Research on Supplementary Observations (CORSO) project. These 114CO2 samples, combined with CO2 atmospheric measurements, are intended to enhance the estimation of fossil CO2 emissions over Europe through inverse modeling. In this study, we perform a series of Observin

Life-history strategies emerge from eco-evolutionary constraints, where organisms allocate limited resources to growth, survival, and reproduction, resulting in trade-offs such as the growth–survival trade-off. There is still a limited understanding of whether and how disturbance regimes and successional stages might mediate such trade-offs, with potential consequences for species population dynam

Heroic narrations of Waffen-SS are encountered in several memory cultures, notleast among Cold War émigrés.1 One example of this is the Ukrainian communityin Canada, in particular the so-called third wave of Displaced Persons, refugeesfrom communist rule in Eastern Europe. It constitutes a community of memoryin many key respects at odds with the Canadian mainstream society. Whereas theHolocaust ocThe 14th Waffen-SS Division Galizien was set up in 1943 by Ukrainian volunteers, largely sympathetic to the more conservative Melnyk wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN(m)). Its members took a personal oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler and served in a number of capacities on the eastern front. In addition to combat at the front, the unit partook in the crushing of the Slovak N

Occurring in 2015/16, the strong El Niño has been shown to significantly influence the pantropical carbon fluxes with multiple lines of evidence. However, a comprehensive understanding on the regional and vegetation-specific net ecosystem productivity (NEP) in response to this El Niño event and its recovery trajectories remain unclear. We revisited the controlling factors in the recovery of pantro

When producing starch microspheres in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS), a continuous-phase polymer is employed to induce segregative phase separation. This creates a continuous polymer-rich phase, in which starch-rich phase droplets can be dispersed and crystallised into solid, semi-crystalline starch microspheres. This study aims to explore how polymers with different chemical structures and size

Background: There is mounting evidence supporting the role of the microbiota in hypertension from experimental studies and population-based studies. We aimed to investigate the relationship between specific characteristics of the gut microbiome and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements. Methods: The association of gut microbial species and microbial functions, determined by shotgun metagenom

Bakgrund: Subakromiellt smärtsyndrom (SAPS) är en vanlig orsak till axelsmärta bland unga individer som tränar over-head idrotter, såsom simning och handboll. Dysfunktion i scapulas stabiliserande muskulatur kan bidra till den symtombilden av SAPS. En ökad förståelse för muskelaktivitet hos de scapulas stabiliserande muskulatur kan ge bättre insikter i rehabilitering av SAPS. Syfte: Syftet med den

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the associations between the intake of high- and low-fat fermented dairy (cheese and fermented milk), their proteomic profiles, and mortality risk.METHODS: This cohort study included 25,187 participants (mean age 57.7 years, 60.9% females). Fermented dairy intake was assessed by a modified diet history method. In a random subset of this cohort (n = 4359), we co

OBJECTIVE: Autoantibodies have long been recognized as biomarkers of islet autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes, but their role in the pathogenesis is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to analyze clinical and hereditary characteristics of children presenting with and without autoantibodies at type 1 diabetes diagnosis.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were collected from children (<18 yea

The Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl) constitutes a central model for probing the basis of vertebrate regeneration. Here, we present the sequencing and chromosome-scale assembly of the 20.3Gb P. waltl genome, which exhibits the highest level of contiguity and completeness among giant genome assemblies. We uncover that DNA transposable elements are the major contributors to its expansion, wit

Nanowires have an ideal shape for high-resolution imaging, with a small cross-section for high resolution and a long length for strong absorption. However, since the absorption in nanowires is dominated by nanophotonic effects, it is unclear what resolution and efficiency such devices could offer. Here, we investigate the limits of spatial resolution and efficiency of nanowire-based direct detecto

Objectives: Menstrual migraine (MM) is a debilitating neurological disorder triggered by fluctuations in ovarian hormones, particularly estrogen. While the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) system is central to migraine pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms linking hormonal changes to CGRP signaling remain unclear. This study investigates how sex hormones regulate CGRP-related gene expres

Denna uppsats undersöker hur EU:s konkurrenslagstiftning reglerar interoperabilitetsskyldigheter för dominerande digitala plattformar. Uppsatsen visar hur EU-domstolens avgörande i Android Auto (C-233/23) omformar teorin om nödvändiga nyttigheter (Essential Facilities Doctrine, EFD) som etablerades i Bronner-domen (C-7/97). Vidare analyseras denna framväxande doktrins samspel med de interoperabiliThis thesis explores how EU competition law governs interoperability obligations for dominant digital platforms. It shows how the CJEU’s judgment in Android Auto (C-233/23) redefines the Essential Facilities Doctrine (EFD) established in Bronner judgment (C-7/97) and how this emerging doctrine interacts with the interoperability obligations introduced by the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The Android

Under uppsvinget av corona pandemin år 2020 läarde vi att anpassa oss till förändrade förutsättningar i samhället till större grad än tidigare. Forskare och företag världen över samarbetade för att utveckla och producera ett vaccin som skulle minska spridningen av viruset. Idag är denna pandemin nästan ett minne blott tack vare messengerRNA (mRNA)-vaccin, som har revolutionerat leverandet av mRNA Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are vesicular structures composed of phospholipids commonly used in vaccine formulations due to their ability to protect and encapsulate mRNA for efficient delivery to target cells. This delivery system was pivotal for the rapid development of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Efficient mRNA delivery depends on the particle size and stability of LNPs, making these key parameters t
