Reindeer health and supplementary feeding practices – a survey among herders in Norway and Sweden
Abstract Background The well-being, health and nutrition of reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus tarandus ) and the practice of reindeer husbandry in Fennoscandia are strongly affected by climate change and the loss and fragmentation of pastures. Supplementary feeding has become increasi...

Abstract Fenofibrate is widely prescribed for hyperlipidaemia and has been associated with rare but severe cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), yet its effects on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) remain to be investigated. LSECs maintain a highly permeable special...

A comprehensive understanding of the drivers of tundra plant senescence phenology and climate-related changes in senescence timing across tundra landscapes is currently lacking. Near-surface remote sensing (NRS) holds the potential to bridge this gap by overcoming problems common...

lncOriL, a polyadenylated mitochondrial lncRNA common to zebrafish and human
Abstract Background Even though teleost fish and mammals share the same mitochondrial gene content and organization, the teleost mitochondrial transcriptome is still poorly understood. Here we characterized the mitochondrial transcriptome during zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) early de...

Severe droughts in East Africa threaten pastoralist livelihoods, with donkeys providing vital but undervalued support in transporting water, food, and resources. This study examines policy and provision for working donkeys in Kenya and Ethiopia, countries severely affected by dro...

Promotion of long-term health in early life
Noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are on the rise in high-income countries, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality and contributing to increased resource demands and healthcare costs. Early-life exposures can initiate trajectories that culminate in NCDs later in lif...

Abstract Infrared molecular fingerprinting of blood offers a scalable, minimally invasive window into human physiology, but limited follow-up, imbalanced cohorts, and restricted access to diverse phenotypes constrain systematic studies. Here, we introduce a conditional deep gener...

Abstract Aims To validate the Vyntus CPX system against Douglas Bag method. Methods Twelve cycle-trained men and women completed an incremental cycling protocol starting at 50 W, increasing by 50 W every fifth minute up to 350 W or to near exhaustion. After a 5 min break a test o...

On Operator Estimates in the Homogenization of Lévy-Type Operators with Periodic Coefficients
Abstract. The paper deals with homogenization of self-adjoint operators in [Formula: see text] of the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a small parameter. It is assumed that the function [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-peri...

Abstract Bilingualism research sits at the intersection of linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and psychology, yet these disciplines often operate in relative isolation, limiting explanatory power and theoretical progress. This paper argues that deeper, more purposeful cross-fer...

Abstract. The VISIONS-2 sounding rockets performed in-situ measurements of the active dayside auroral region. Numerous broadband dispersed signatures up to keV energies are visible in the electron electrostatic analyser data, typical of Alfvénic precipitation. In order to charact...

Parsimonious Emulators for the Global Climate Response Across Millennia
Parsimonious emulators (PEs) trained on complex climate models (CCMs) are useful when global variables like global mean surface temperature and climate-system energy content are sought. CCM runs over millennia extracted from the LongRunMip repository are used to construct and tes...

Many seasonal vertebrates rely on photoperiod to synchronise their seasonal physiology and behaviour with annual changes in the environment. In both mammals and birds, the pars tuberalis (PT) of the pituitary gland decodes photoperiodic information and regulates seasonal timing....

Year-Round High-Resolution Sea Ice Freeboard Retrieval Using ICESat-2 ATL03 Photon Data
Abstract. Arctic sea ice freeboard is critical for estimating ice thickness and characterizing surface morphology, yet it remains poorly constrained, especially during the melt season due to limitations in conventional altimetry products. The ICESat-2 ATL07 product retrieves surf...

The Psychopathology in Autism Checklist–Revised (PAC-R): Development and Validation
There are few appropriate screening tools for mental health in autistic people, particularly for individuals with co-occurring intellectual disabilities. A specially developed screening tool for this population, the Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC), has shown acceptable...

ABSTRACT Helminths modulate host immunity, and in this respect, the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis has been explored clinically as an immunotherapy for inflammatory diseases. T. suis secretes a complex mixture of excretory/secretory products (ESP), including extracellular vesicl...

Global ghost fishing characterization model for derelict bottom set gillnets
Ghost fishing, the unintended capture of marine life by abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing gear, is a major driver of biodiversity loss in the marine environment. Among major fishing gear types, derelict gillnets are widely considered to pose the greatest threat to marine bio...

Abstract. Sea ice in fjords affects local hydrography, ecosystems, glacier stability and coastal erosion. The full archive of historical SAR imagery at ∼50 m resolution (Envisat ASAR, RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1) capturing the Hornsund fjord, Svalbard was used to create an unpreced...
