Value of Innovation as a metric to drive technology development

Innovation characterizes industrial, economic, and societal development. Within the domain of the built environment, technological advancements are continuously pursued to enhance structural safety, functionality, and cost efficiency. At the same time, the challenges associated w...

Long-term Trends in Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Ischemic Outcomes after Myocardial Infarction

Abstract Aims Invasive management and intensive antithrombotic regimens have decreased ischemic risk after myocardial infarction (MI) at the cost of more bleeding. Of particular concern is upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), which is both common and preventable, yet not well...

Diagnostic male secondary sexual structures and wing patterns in the Thereus genena species group (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Theclinae) with the description of nine new species from Colombia, Peru, Brazil and French Guiana

species group is provided using male characters.

ADAR1 is increased in prostate cancer progression and silencing reduces A-to-I editing and cell growth while enhancing apoptosis and adhesion

Abstract Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) catalyses adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing and has emerged as a regulator of cell biology. Here, we investigate the expression and function of ADAR1 in prostate cancer using in vitro models and clinical patient cohorts...

Fatigue in men and women 3 and 12 months after ischemic stroke: Occurrence, severity, impact on functioning, and changes over time

BACKGROUND: Although fatigue is common after stroke, there is limited knowledge about gender-specific differences, fatigue severity, impact on functioning, and how fatigue changes over time. With advanced stroke treatments and a higher proportion of mild strokes, updated knowledg...

Mobile Prisoners and Immobile Colonisers: Prisoners of War in the Eighteenth-Century Russian Borderlands

Abstract This study uses the experiences of Swedish prisoners of war in the Great Northern War (1700–1721), to nuance the connection between coercion and imperial expansion. It examines the discursive and practical applications of coercion, coerced actors in settlements, and reli...

Babesia divergens IgG Antibodies and ABO Blood Types In Humans

Babesia is an intraerythrocytic parasite transmitted by ticks or through blood transfusion, and it can cause babesiosis with symptoms such as fever, anemia, and organ failure. The parasite is closely related to the mosquito-borne Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria. Sever...

Deciphering Molecular Charge Anisotropy: The Case of Antibody Solutions

Electrostatic interactions fundamentally govern the structure, stability, and dynamics of charged (bio)matter, yet the impact of heterogeneous and anisotropic charge distributions on the behavior of protein solutions remains elusive. Here, we introduce a versatile multiscale fram...

The NorthMom study: population-based follow-up of women in a birth cohort to assess pregnancy exposures and effects on breast cancer risk factors

Abstract Background The NorthMom Study (NorthMom) is an observational, population-based cohort designed to determine how the environment during pregnancy affects later health risks among women. The specific focus of NorthMom is breast cancer risk, evaluated through intermediate m...

Business roles in 1.5 °C transitions: a stakeholder-informed scenario analysis

Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C requires profound transformations of production and consumption systems, yet the role of businesses in enabling such transitions remains insufficiently addressed in scenario-based sustainability research. Existing scenarios often conceptualize fi...

Molecular mechanism of complement interference by Streptococcus pyogenes nuclease A

Abstract Bacteria deploy virulence factors to subvert host immunity; yet the molecular details of these interactions often remain limited. Here, we reveal the structure and host interactome of the Streptococcus pyogenes nuclease A (SpnA). We characterize the structure and dynamic...

Redox non-innocent ligand-controlled selective CO2 reduction to HCOOH by a Co(II) catalyst.

insertion reaction to generate HCOOH as the end product. DFT calculations lend support to the experimental findings and indicate that the formation of HCOOH is more feasible than CO.

High Risk of Metabolic Side Effects Among New Paediatric Antipsychotic Users in Sweden—A Register‐Based Study

PURPOSE: This study aims to assess the risk of metabolic side effects among paediatric new users of antipsychotics in Sweden, focusing on differences between substances and sexes. METHODS: Children aged 5-17 years, who were new users of antipsychotics between 2014 and 2021, were...

Downscaling of SMAP Soil Moisture Based on the Transformer Algorithm in Anhui Province

Soil moisture (SM) is critical for climate, water, and agriculture, but Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) passive microwave products have coarse resolution, limiting regional applications. This study develops an SM downscaling framework based on Transformer and its variants (Pa...

Development of osteoarthritis in adults with untreated hip dysplasia: a longitudinal observational study

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although hip dysplasia is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), its natural progression in adults remains poorly understood. In a longitudinal observational study, we aimed to estimate differences in OA incidence, time to OA, and minimum joint space width...

Witnessing war across borders: Tamara Trunova’s stagings of Natalka Vorozhbyt’s Bad Roads in Ukraine and Sweden

The article presents a comparative analysis of the Ukrainian and Swedish theatre performances of Bad Roads, as directed by Tamara Trunova and staged in Kyiv since 2018 and in Gothenburg in 2024. Both performances are analyzed in relation to Natalka Vorozhbyt’s play of the same ti...

From resilience to antifragility? Satisfying human needs in a disruptive world

Abstract Calls to make ecological systems, organizations, and people “resilient” have become central to sustainability science. However, resilience is a broad term that sometimes means returning to the status quo. In a disruptive world, characterized by interconnected crises such...
