Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in the production and protection of economic, social, and environmental values. To understand current challenges and trajectories shaping future strategies within the Nordic forest sector, it is important to map and trace past and present policy and governance developments. The core contribution of this short communication is to present an open-access database
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
The structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are malleable to solution conditions. Considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the effects of molecular crowding on these properties. Polymer-based crowders, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Ficoll®, are commonly used to simulate the intracellular environment by replicating the high concentration of macromolec
Phage collections are essential tools for discovering and dissecting bacterial anti-phage defense systems. Here, we report the isolation, characterization, and annotated genome sequences of five environmental Escherichia coli-infecting phages, obtained during the 2023 Fundamentals of Basic and Applied Phage Biology course at Lund University. The phages were isolated using a motile E. coli K-12 B
Background There is limited knowledge on whether prior knee surgery impacts the clinical profile and treatment outcomes for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Objectives The study aimed to (i) compare individual and clinical characteristics, and (ii) evaluate whether outcomes of first-line treatment differ between individuals with prior knee surgery and those without. Methods This study us
China's rapid growth in electricity demand intensifies the twin challenges of water conservation and carbon reduction in a system where production and consumption are spatially mismatched. We develop a novel evaluation framework to quantify how electricity generation and interprovincial transmission redistribute “virtual” water and carbon. The method integrates national water/carbon footprints by
Introduction: A grey-white matter ratio (GWR) < 1.10 at the basal ganglia level on head computed tomography (CT) previously predicted poor outcome with high specificity and moderate sensitivity in cardiac arrest patients. Data on GWR in reference populations are lacking. We explored GWR in a reference group to a cardiac arrest population and hypothesised that none would have GWR < 1.10. Methods: A
We report results of detailed empirical valence bond simulations that model the effect of several amino acid substitutions on the thermodynamic (ΔG°) and kinetic activation (ΔG⧧) barriers to deprotonation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) bound to wild-type triosephosphate isomerase (TIM), as well as to the K12G, E97A, E97D, E97Q, K12G/E97A, I170A, L230A,
OBJECTIVE: The time after birth is a crucial period for women, involving both physical recovery and emotional challenges. Previous research indicates that postnatal care is a neglected area of maternity care. The aim of this study was to explore women's suggestions for health care improvements, based on their experiences during the first year after birth.METHODS: This study is based on data from a
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a lethal condition where expansion of the vascular extracellular matrix contributes to increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Versican, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, is known to accumulate in vascular lesions of PAH and hyaluronan and tenascin-C, binding partners of versican, are elevated in PAH. The specific distribution and localization of versica
This study presents a conceptual framework for assessing the sustainability of the forest-based economy and resulting synergies and trade-offs between forest harvest, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. The framework adopts a comprehensive systems approach to map economic activities and associated flows of resources and embodied environmental impacts along the value chain. It buil
Infant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) driven by the KMT2A::AFF1 onco-fusion is an aggressive, poor prognosis disease with few co-operative mutations. The fusion originates in utero, yet the embryonic initiating steps of disease development remain poorly understood. Here, we present a novel murine KMT2A::AFF1 model, that provides key insights into KMT2A::AFF1 pre-leukemia, relevant to human dis
BACKGROUND: The management of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in elderly patients depends on comorbidities, pre-fracture mobility, any hip joint disease, and life expectancy, with treatment typically involving either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). While cemented femoral stem fixation is standard, there is no clear consensus regarding cemented versus cementless cup fixation in
Rethinking Water-Land Relations through Sustainability Communication. Acqua alta describes the phenomenon of high tide which commonly submerges part of city of Venice during the winter season. In recent years, due to climate change, exceptional high tide levels have been registered, posing considerate challenges to the city’s survival. In an attempt to prevent Venice from being submerged, a majest
The pattern of fall in B-cell function measured as plasma and 24 h urinary C-peptide excretion, as well as levels of islet cell antibodies, insulin antibodies and metabolic parameters, were followed for two years in 39 children aged 1-17 years prospectively from clinical onset of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. At onset 32/36 patients had measurable plasma C-peptide (median 0.13 nmol/l). Maxi
