Every of the seven chapters of the course aims at introducing the students to the basics of Romanian language in the larger context of the Romanian culture and civilization development, with the ultimate purpose of settling both a few essential theoretical knowledge and some practical communication skills for the foreign students as inhabitants of Romania. The compulsory tasks at the end of each c
We compare abundance ratio trends in a sample of ∼11,000 Milky Way bulge stars (R GC < 3 kpc) from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) to those of APOGEE stars in the Galactic disk (5 kpc < R GC < 11 kpc). We divide each sample into low-Ia (high-[Mg/Fe]) and high-Ia (low-[Mg/Fe]) populations, and in each population, we examine the median trends of [X/Mg] versus [Mg/
In Europe, all new houses built require an energy declaration showing the expected energy consumption during use. However, there is often a discrepancy between the calculated and the actual energy consumption. Some claim that in general the difference is on the positive side for wooden buildings, with real energy consumption being lower than predicted. This could be an effect of thorough and long-
We explore the interplay of electron-electron correlations and surface effects in the prototypical correlated insulating material, NiO. In particular, we compute the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and surface energies of the (001) and (110) surfaces of paramagnetic NiO using a fully charge self-consistent DFT+ dynamical mean-field theory method. Our results reveal a complex interplay b
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) and measures of Alzheimer disease (AD), small vessel disease (SVD), cognition, vascular risk factors, and neuroinflammation, we tested associations between EPVS and different relevant neuroimaging, biochemical, and cognitive variables in 778 study participants. METHODS: Four hundred ninety-nine cognitively unimp
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that cardiovascular physiology differs in reflex syncope patients compared with the general population, predisposing such individuals to vasovagal reflex.METHODS: In this multicohort cross-sectional study, we compared aggregate data of resting SBP, DBP, pulse pressure (PP) and heart rate (HR), collected from six community-based cohort studies (64 968 observations) with
Background: Early metastasis is a hallmark of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the mechanisms and resulting patterns of SCLC dissemination are unclear. Our aim was thus to investigate the organ specificity and timing of blood-borne metastases in a comprehensive large cohort of SCLC patients. Methods: In this retrospective non-interventional cross-sectional study of 1009 Caucasian SCLC patie
Background and purpose: Various blood biomarkers reflecting brain amyloid-β (Aβ) load have recently been proposed with promising results. However, to date, no comparative study amongst blood biomarkers has been reported. Our objective was to examine the diagnostic performance and cost effectiveness of three blood biomarkers on the same cohort. Methods: Using the same cohort (n = 68), the performan
Mobile, near-source measurements are broadly used for determining δ13CH4 of individual methane (CH4) emissions sources. To answer the need for robust and comparable measurement methods, we aim to define the best practices to determine isotopic signatures of CH4 sources from atmospheric measurements, considering instrument accuracy and precision. Using the Keeling and Miller-Tans methods, we verify
Background & Aims The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is unclear. Studies indicate a low risk for HCC questioning the rationale for current HCC surveillance guidelines. This study explores the risk of HCC in a longitudinal multicenter cohort with over 3.000 PSC-subjects. Approach & results Subjects with well characterized PSC (n=3.071) were fo

Researchers selecting probands for molecular genetic studies confront a range of sampling issues with modest empirical guidance. In this paper, using cases of major depression (MD), anxiety disorders (AD) alcohol use disorder (AUD), drug use disorder (DUD), bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ) from a large population cohort of all native Swedes born 1940–2003, we examine the implications o
The impact of climate on the annual cycle and interannual variability of CO2 fluxes is assessed in European evergreen needleleaf forests (ENFs) and deciduous broadleaf forests (DBFs) using observations from 19 sites, alongside outputs from process-based and data-driven models. All models capture the temporal phasing of CO2 fluxes, including a shorter sequestration period in northern rather than so
Basalcellscancer (BCC) är den vanligaste formen av hudcancer som enligt Socialstyrelsen drabbar omkring 50 000 svenskar varje år. Om en patient misstänks ha basalcellscancer måste man ta bort en bit av huden för att undersöka den i mikroskop. Om det visar sig efter undersökningen att det finns cancerceller kvar, måste man operera igen, vilket är obehagligt för patienten, kostsamt och förlänger vänBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer with the current diagnostic procedures relying on surgical excisions and histopathological analyses. Incomplete removal of the tumor necessitates additional surgery, which is both costly and time-consuming, and causes unnecessary suffering for the patient. To address this, non-invasive diagnostic techniques capable of determining th
This paper reports on the challenges of handling menstrual waste in informal settlements in Kisumu, Kenya, and the emerging conflicts between reducing the use of these ‘complicated plastics’ and ensuring human health and dignity. To investigate these interconnections, we draw on a survey conducted among sanitation workers conducting manual pit emptying. We then conducted a knowledge co-production
The modern use of neoadjuvant and conversion systemic therapy in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) has improved resection rates and changed the borders between “resectable” and “unresectable” disease. Also, the use of preoperative systemic therapy has resulted in an increased frequency of disappearing liver metastasis (DLM). The optimal management of DLM is still controversia
Polyploidization is an important driver of evolution and diversification in flowering plants. Here, we assess how repeated polyploidization may have shaped diversification of floral morphology in Lithophragma bolanderi (Saxifragaceae). This species comprises multiple cytotypes and varies geographically in its interactions with specialized pollinating moths in the genus Greya (Prodoxidae). Past stu
Purpose: There are limited data to show how sex impacts the early clinical course of patients with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). This study aimed to explore potential sex related disparities in the preoperative, surgical, and early postoperative course of HSCR patients. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of HSCR patients who underwent pull-through surgery at pediatric surgery centers i
Forest wind damage models are typically based on the assumption that windstorm damage results from the interaction between horizontal wind forces and forest stand properties. In complex terrain, mountain waves caused by stably stratified air flowing over mountains can generate standing waves and severe downslope windstorms on the leeward side. Using the windstorm of 19 November 2021 in a mountain
Turning sustainable is one of the largest challenges facing the aviation sector. Switching to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) instead of fossil fuels is a large piece of the sustainability puzzle, but there is no current SAF that is approved as a stand alone fuel. The road to a stand alone SAF is long and requires more diverse biofuels as well as more research on how biofuels combust. This thesis
