The development of sustainable photosensitiser complexes based on Earth-abundant metallic elements is important for sustainable solar energy conversion and green synthesis through photocatalysis. We report the synthesis and characterisation of a new bis(tripodal) iron(III) N-heterocyclic carbene complex [Fe(PhB{impy}3)2]+ (PhB{impy}3 = phenyltris(imidazo-[1,5-a]-pyridinylidene)borate) featuring -e
In mice, along with the assessment of eosinophils, lung function measurements, most commonly carried out by plethysmography, are essential to monitor the course of allergic airway inflammation, to examine therapy efficacy and to correlate animal with patient data. To date, plethysmography techniques either use intubation and/or restraining of the mice and are thus invasive, or are limited in their
I denna avhandling undersöktes exekutiva funktioner (EF) hos svenska barn och ungdomar. EF definierades som en uppsättning neurokognitiva processer som reglerar kognitiva, emotionella och beteendemässiga aktiviteter, viktiga för målinriktat handlande. EF bedömdes med hjälp av själv-, föräldra- och lärarskattningar av den första och andra upplagan av Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function This thesis examines executive functioning (EF) among Swedish youth. EF is defined as a set of neurocognitive processes regulating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral activities essential for goal-directed behavior. I assessed EF using the self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms from the original and second editions of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF and BRIEF2). A pri
Sepsis remains a major clinical challenge due to the limited efficacy of existing therapies in controlling excessive inflammation. The engineered stapled peptide sHVF18, derived from an evolutionarily conserved thrombin innate fold, binds both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the LPS-binding groove of CD14, enabling dual targeting of bacterial components and host immune signaling. To define structural
Film Installation at Group Exhibition: Museum Van Bommel Van DamThey are caught in a constant dilemma: should they join the game played by male world leaders, or distance themselves from it completely? As the film progresses, the situation becomes more threatening and the debate more complex. ⏳ The solution at the end proves to be as logical as it is difficult to carry out.Two Minutes to Midnight
Multi-electron donation remains a challenge for CO2 photocatalytic conversion to multi-electron products due to the efficient Auger recombination or annihilation at multiple excitation conditions for conventional molecules or semiconductor photocatalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated possible multi-electron donation within a quantum dot (QD)/metal complex hybrid photocatalyst system when multipl
A causal inference framework was developed to investigate crop responses to agricultural drought by integrating meteorological data, Sentinel-2-derived data, and soil property maps. To account for crop rotation, soil, and topographical variables, propensity score matching was employed to estimate drought-induced yield losses at the field level for selected periods. The Plant Phenology Index (PPI)
Boreal peatlands strongly affect the global climate system by providing an important store for carbon (C) cycle and a natural source of methane. Over the past century, however, vast areas of natural peatlands have been drained to gain productive land, turning them into large potential C sources. Currently, there is a scientific debate on how to best manage historically drained boreal peatlands to
We describe a method to estimate child mortality using linked IPUMS full-count census data for the decades following the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 censuses. We compare the estimates to several external sources and conclude that the method represents a viable way to estimate and model child mortality at individual and aggregate levels over the course of the mortality transition.
Aim: In uncertain clinical situations, such as assessing the risk of exacerbation of apical periodontitis in root- filled teeth, un-dergraduate students can benefit from being trained to reflect. This study aimed to explore how students specifically reflectedon clinical experiences in relation to uncertainty when assessing a case involving a root- filled tooth with apical periodontitis.Methodolo
Despite substantial contextual differences between the West and China, systems approaches have been recognized as essential for addressing complex and dynamic management challenges, particularly within the field of innovation. However, most previous studies are rooted in traditional cybernetics within the framework of first-order science, which is characterized by linear processes and stable eleme
This study investigates how national policies in nine Western Pacific countries—China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia—promote healthy ageing through multi-sector collaboration. The objective is to identify common patterns and country-specific features in the governance and organization of collaborative efforts. Using comparative case study an
BACKGROUND: Group 5 allergens, such as Phl p 5 of timothy grass, are major contributors to grass pollen allergy. Antibody 212597 specific for this allergen was recently isolated by single cell sequencing of bone marrow B cells of a grass pollen-allergic subject. This antibody, although subjected only to a low level of hypermutation resulting in six amino acid substitution across the heavy and ligh
BACKGROUND: Neck pain remains a persistent challenge in modern society and is frequently encountered across a wide range of occupations, particularly those involving repetitive and monotonous tasks. It might be expected that patterns of trapezius muscle activity at work, characterized by few breaks and prolonged periods of sustained muscle activity, are linked to neck pain. However, previous cross
The growing interest in lignin valorization in the past decades calls for analytical techniques for lignin characterization, ranging from wet chemistry techniques to highly sophisticated chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. One of the key parameters to consider is the molecular weight profile of lignin, which is routinely determined by size-exclusion chromatography; however, this is by no me
Purpose Visual interpretation of brain amyloid-β (Aβ) PET can be difficult in individuals with borderline Aβ burden. Coregistration with individual MRI is recommended in these cases, which, however, is not always available. This study evaluated coregistration with the early perfusion frames acquired immediately after tracer injection to support the visual interpretation of the late Aβ-frames in PE
This paper showcases new research avenues made possible by applying computational methods to historical isiXhosa text. I outline a method for isiXhosa computational text analysis which adapts word frequency analysis to be applied to isiXhosa texts focusing on root words. The paper showcases the value of the approach in a study of emerging political identities in early African nationalism, examinin
This scoping review assessed the surgical backlog in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) due to COVID-19 and identified mitigation strategies. We searched seven databases for citations from December 2019 to December 2022, focusing on LAC patients with cancelled or postponed procedures. We registered our protocol at Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/x2nd8) and adhered to PRISMA-ScR guideline
Although several food-related fields have yet to fully grasp the speed and breadth of the fourth industrial revolution (also known as Industry 4.0), growing literature from other sectors shows that Industry 5.0 (referring to the fifth industrial revolution) is already underway. Food Industry 4.0 has been characterized by the fusion of physical, digital, and biological advances in food science and
