The identity of Ceropegia hirsuta in Thailand has been questioned. Although this plant is quite similar to the original C. hirsuta from India, being entirely hirsute, with yellowish-shaded flowers, a curved, funnel-shaped corolla tube, and broad corolla lobes shorter than the corolla tube, there are several clear differences in morphological traits between the materials collected in Thailand and t

A full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) with ultrafiltration, followed by granular activated carbon (GAC), was examined to determine the potential of reusing treated water as a source of drinking water or for irrigation. The major part of the bacteria removal took place in the MBR, whereas the GAC removed substantial amounts of organic micropollutants. Annual variations in inflow and infiltration r

This article presents measurements of the groomed jet radius and momentum splitting fraction in pp collisions at s = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Inclusive charged-particle jets are reconstructed at midrapidity using the anti-k T algorithm for transverse momentum 60

A search for diphoton resonances in the mass range between 10 and 70 GeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presented. The analysis is based on pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb −1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded from 2015 to 2018. Previous searches for diphoton resonances at the LHC have explored masses down to 65 GeV,

Biobreeding-diabetes prone (BB-DP) rats spontaneously develop organ-specific autoimmunity and are severely lymphopenic and particularly deficient in ART2+ regulatory T cells. A special breed, the so-called BB-diabetic-resistant (DR) rats, are not lymphopenic and do not develop organ-specific autoimmunity. The genetic difference between both strains is the lymphopenia (lyp) gene. Intrathymic tolera

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to assess the impact of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) and memantine on cognition, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). METHODS: A total of 1,095 incident DLB patients from the Swedish Registry on cognitive/dementia disorders were included. Using an inverse probability of treatment weighting, the effect of initiating

We develop a cognitive evaluation schema for analysing the diversity and nuances of visuospatial complexity and multimodal interactions encountered in naturalistic everyday driving conditions. The proposed schema is based on a finegrained empirical analysis of real-world everyday driving situations involving stakeholders such as drivers, pedestrians, cyclists. Our method involves a semantic analys

The objective of this study is to increase the knowledge regarding school principals’work situations by examining the associations between various factors and the school principals’assessments of their ability or wish to work until 65 years of age or longer. The 1356 participatingschool principals in this study were aged between 50 and 64 years of age. Individual and workfactors were evaluated in

Despite the anticipated benefits of smart home technology (SHT) to support older adults' engagement in meaningful activities, barriers to the adoption of SHT have been identified. While research in the field of technology is surging, research on older adults playing an active role in designing and developing SHT to enhance usability is lacking. It is important to co-develop solutions to place olde

Intentional vocabulary learning through tasks with an explicit vocabulary focus is essential for L2 learning (e.g., Laufer, 2005; Nation, 2007, 2022; Schmitt & Schmitt, 2020). Yet, research suggests that in EFL classrooms in Sweden, there tends to be a reliance on incidental learning of vocabulary rather than intentional learning (D. Bergström, 2023). Studies(Eriksson, 2023; Warnby, 2023) also

Recent research provides new perspectives on large-scale Early Holocene human interaction within Eurasia, based on ancient DNA or lithic technology. But the extent of regional human mobility is not well known. In this study, we combined two different approaches to investigate regional mobility and social networks in southern Scandinavia. We analyzed strontium isotopes in human teeth and regional l

The COVID-19 pandemic was a novel biological hazard that emerged in 2019 and significantly impacted various sectors of society. While sectors such as the economy and health were severely affected, the education sector was no stranger to the grave impact of the pandemic. While the pandemic called for regulations such as lockdowns and social distancing, the education sector was required to shift the

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a largely underdiagnosed disease including several phenotypes. In this report, the design of a study intending to evaluate the pathophysiological mechanism in COPD in relation to the specific phenotypes non-rapid and rapid decline in lung function is described together with the recruitment process of the study population derived from a po

Natural gas/diesel dual-fuel combustion is a novel technique that offers high thermal efficiency and reduced emissions without requiring extensive hardware changes or complex aftertreatment systems. Previous study conducted on the same setup has shown that increasing the diesel mass split ratio (SR) between two injections and advancing the start of first injection (SOI1) improved NOx, HC emissions
