This paper outlines the integration of blockchain technology (BCT) into agri-food supply chains (AFSC) and provides a comprehensive framework for organisations interested in adopting Blockchain (BC)-enabled traceability. Collaborating with an agri-food-based use-case organisation and a technology provider, the authors present a use case for the deployment of BCT in honey and coriander powder suppl
Readers of the Journal of Common Market Studies may be surprised and perhaps confused to see references to the speculative fiction (SF) film Arrival and ‘planetary politics’ in this symposium of the premier journal for the study of the European Union (EU). What can we learn from a SF film or the unheard-of politics of the planet in our study of EU politics? might be a good question.This month 80%
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to set up reliable and reproducible culture conditions for 3D tumoroids derived from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines to enable greater opportunity for successful cultivation of patient-derived samples.METHODS: Four NSCLC cell lines, two adenocarcinomas (A549, NCI-H1975) and two squamous cell carcinomas (HCC-95, HCC-1588), were first cultured in trad
A low eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine-ratio is characteristic of a group of serious kidney disorders called ‘Selective Glomerular Hypofiltration Syndromes’. This study examines if such a low ratio can also be used to evaluate the risk for women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy to develop severe maternal morbidity. All women discharged from the perinatal ward at the Skåne University Hospital
To analyze large, digitized corpora, we introduce the new approach of “structural reading”, which combines the abstraction of distant reading with the nuance of close reading. We do so by developing the method of “structural collocation analysis” (SCA) that uses metadata categories to investigate how research topics behave across texts belonging to different categories. The method combines the rob

BACKGROUND: There is a growing body of evidence indicating the significant role of the immune system and immune cells in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the exact role of genes from various immune cell types in AD remains unclear. We aimed to utilize summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) to explore the potential causal relationships between genes in specific immune
Detailed numerical simulations are conducted in comparison with experimental results to study the flame structure and burning rate of a steadily burning aluminum droplet in hot steam-dominated environments. The droplet surface temperature, flame temperature, and flame stabilization position are measured along with the droplet burning rate estimated from the droplet size evolution. A numerical mode
The co-disposal of solid waste by industrial kilns is presently attracting increasing attention. In this study, we investigate the co-disposal of solid waste, i.e. converter ash (CA), sintered ash (SA), blast furnace bag ash (BA), and municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA), under simulated blast furnace ironmaking conditions. The results show that it is feasible to use blast furnace t
Clinical pathological diagnosis and prognosis for cancer is often confounded by spatial tissue heterogeneity. This study investigates the utility of entropy as a robust quantitative metric of spatial disorder within Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) chemical images of breast cancer tissue. The use of entropy is grounded in its capacity to encapsulate the complexities of pixel-wise spectral intensi
Improving the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) measurement in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is an important goal.1 Current US and European recommendations suggest using race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr) equations (2021 age and sex [AS] or 2009 age, sex, and race–non-Black [ASR-NB]) in adults, without regard to cause or treatm
This paper compiles a roadmap of considerations concerning zero impact, beyond zero (positive) impact of regenerative development of the construction process. This is described from a process point of view considering the whole lifecycle of a building, involved stakeholders, and the necessity of functional ecosystem services. Firstly, a review is made of the basics of regenerative development and
Recent years have seen a surge to develop first-row transition metal complexes with photophysics and photochemistry similar to those of noble metals, such as ruthenium and iridium. The reason for this is obvious, looking at their relative abundance. Iron stands out as the most abundant transition metal on earth, and is positioned right above ruthenium in the periodic table.The aim of this thesis h
Satellite imagery is a potent tool for estimating human wealth and poverty, especially in regions lacking reliable data. This study compares a range of poverty estimation approaches from satellite images, spanning from expert-based to fully machine learning-based methodologies. Human experts ranked clusters from the Tanzania DHS survey using high-resolution satellite images. Then expert-defined fe
Marginal zone B cells (MZB cells) are innate like B cells that are predominantly located alongside memory B cells in the microanatomical region of the spleen of humans and mice termed the marginal zone. They circulate in humans but not mice, and in humans can be identified in blood and other lymphoid tissues, including the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, where they, as in spleen, form a zone surro
We aimed to describe the increased rate of Acinetobacter baumannii infections during the COVID-19 pandemic and define its significance within the last five years. This study was performed in a tertiary hospital with 280 beds and included all patients infected with A. baumannii in the intensive care unit between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2022. A. baumannii-infected patients in the intensive car
PurposeEngagement of non-academic stakeholders is an important element of education for sustainability, but is rarely mentioned in contemporary agricultural education literature. This article investigates the process of engagement of non-academic stakeholders into higher education programs on agriculture. Non-academic stakeholders refer to private firms that are focused on the acquisition of knowl
