Measurements of the pT-dependent flow vector fluctuations in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV using azimuthal correlations with the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. A four-particle correlation approach [ALICE Collaboration, Phys. Rev. C 107, L051901 (2023)2469-998510.1103/PhysRevC.107.L051901] is used to quantify the effects of flow angle and magnitude fluctuations separ
Context. Gravitational waves from black-hole (BH) merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected based on most stellar evolution models-And also higher than known stellar-origin black holes in our Galaxy. It has been proposed that those high-mass BHs are the remnants of massive metal-poor stars. Aims. Gaia
The main concerns associated with epilepsy during pregnancy consist of maternal and fetal risks from uncontrolled seizures, and harmful effects of the treatment on the development of the offspring. Although seizure control is maintained in the majority, worsening occurs in a fraction of childbearing women with epilepsy. As multiple factors associated with pregnancy may have a negative impact on ep
The present study illustrates the microphysical parameters of nimbostratus clouds during the Indian summer monsoon using airborne and radar observations conducted as part of the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX), and simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The study also analyzes the impact of secondary ice production (emphasizi
Astrocytes play key roles in the brain. When astrocyte support fails, neurological disorders follow, resulting in disrupted synaptic communication, neuronal degeneration, and cell death. We posit that astrocytes overexpressing neurotrophic factors, such as Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1), prevent the onset of neurodegeneration. We overexpressed IGF1 and the reporter TdTomato (TOM) in hippocamp
Aim of the study: To assess the association of prevalence and size of pelvic sentinel node (SLN) metastases with risk factors in endometrial cancer (EC). Patients and Methods: Between June 2014 and January 2024 consecutive women with a uterine confined EC undergoing robotic surgery including detection of pelvic SLNs at a University Hospital were included. An anatomically based algorithm utilizing
Non-revenue water due to pipe leakages presents a significant global challenge, impacting both the economy and environmental sustainability. The current approach to pipe management for water utilities in Sweden is mainly reactive; leaks are repaired when detected, sometimes with large costs if the leakage is extensive and critical. With this study, we want to focus on proactive pipe network manage
New particle formation (NPF) events substantially contribute to the number concentration of atmospheric particles and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) which can further influence radiative balance and Earth's climate. Many short-term studies have found that sulfuric acid (H2 SO4) and highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) are critical compounds in the early steps of NPF. However, it is not fully
Photoreceptor oil droplets (ODs) are spherical organelles placed most commonly within the inner segment of the cone photoreceptors. Comprising neutral lipids, ODs can be either non-pigmented or pigmented and have been considered optically functional in various studies. Among living amphibians, ODs were only reported to occur in frogs and toads (Anura), while they are absent in salamanders and caec
Simultaneous digital breast tomosynthesis and mechanical imaging (DBTMI), a novel screening approach, combines anatomic DBT with functional analysis of the stress distribution on the compressed breast by mechanical imaging (MI). Preliminary studies suggest potential to reduce false positive findings. DBTMI requires to align DBT and MI images. In this study, we have analyzed robustness to alignment
This chapter explores, through the lens of the history and development of the situation of statelessness across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – a consequence of nation-state formation, state succession and/or discriminatory ethnic, religious and gender law and policy – the striking commonalities in both the causes and consequences of statelessness. It focuses on how the MENA region lacks
The paper is part of a wider research project which seeks to explore the nexus between statelessness and refugee-ness at global, national and individual level. The relationship between the two legal concepts has not received much attention. This is surprising given that one in ten refugees globally are believed to be stateless. To begin to unpack this relationship, Denmark and Sweden are used as c
BACKGROUND: In response to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, Dying in America, we undertook an institution wide effort to improve the experience of patients and families facing serious illness by engaging leadership and developing a program to promote the practice of generalist palliative care.MEASURES: The impact of the program was measured with process measures related to its' three parts.
This article discusses the role of affect in the credibility assessment process in queer asylum claims. Through 27 semistructured interviews with caseworkers, it explores how sexual truth, in the Greek asylum apparatus, is affectively produced and analyses how access to asylum is intermediated by affective control of who is considered the “good” sexual citizen. According to the research material,
The ratio of production cross-sections of ψ(2S) over J/ψ mesons as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s = 13 TeV is measured with a data sample collected by the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 658 pb−1. The ratio is measured for both prompt and non-prompt ψ(2S) and J/ψ mesons. When there is an overlap betwe
The boreal forest covers approximately 12 million km² and contains one-third of the terrestrial vegetation carbon, making it a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The impact of forest harvesting (e.g. clear-cuts) and forest fires on forest carbon budgets under climate change is still not well understood. This study presents results from simulations with the process-based dynamic globalvege
The initial Swedish discourse of transnational adoption as a win-win situation has changed over its more than 60-year-long history. This article aims to trace and present some themes in this history, with a particular focus on the public debate and the different narratives that representatives of the adoption triangle—the adoptees, the adoptive parents, and the biological parents—tell when dealing
