Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the basic theory of strong interactions between the quarks and gluons is expected to play an important role in the early universe. We discuss the scenario when the fast cooling of QCD matter leads to the creation of a saturated phase with an enormous number of possible configurations. Using an analogy with the classical glasses we predict that this glassy form of matt
Laser diagnostics has been one of the most powerful tools in advancing state-of-the-art combustion research over the last five decades. Prof. Marcus Aldén, one of the most well-known pioneers in this field, has contributed many influential original publications over more than 40 years of his research career. In this paper, we will review some selected contributions, with emphasis on optical techni
Background and Objective: Coeliac disease is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder for which the only treatment consists of lifelong strict adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines on the GFD dietary management of coeliac disease. This position paper, led by the Special Interest Group in coeliac disease of the European Society of Pediatric, Gastroent
Background: Knowledge is sparse on the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on surgical outcomes after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated the association between T2D and risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery, and evaluated the biological interaction between T2D and co-morbidities. Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group clinical database, a cohort of all Danish wom
Organisms inhabiting extreme thermal environments, such as desert birds, have evolved spectacular adaptations to thermoregulate during hot and cold conditions. However, our knowledge of selection for thermoregulation and the potential for evolutionary responses is limited, particularly for large organisms experiencing extreme temperature fluctuations. Here we use thermal imaging to quantify select
Background: Persons on the autism spectrum exhibit poorer body awareness than neurotypical persons. Since movement quality may be regarded as an expression of body awareness, assessment of movement quality is important. Sound assessments of measurement properties are essential if reliable decisions about body awareness interventions for persons on the autism spectrum are to be made, but there is i
Work is central to people’s lives and the course of their life. The opportunities and chances an individual can have in their life are significantly connected to work. Individuals' work is also crucial for organisations, companies and for the whole of society. There is a constant need to make changes and readjustments of working life since these can deeply affect the individual and their employabi
Infant and adult MLL1/KMT2A-rearranged (MLLr) leukemia represents a disease with a dismal prognosis. Here, we present a functional and proteomic characterization of in utero-initiated and adult-onset MLLr leukemia. We reveal that fetal MLL::ENL-expressing lymphomyeloid multipotent progenitors (LMPPs) are intrinsically programmed towards a lymphoid fate but give rise to myeloid leukemia in vivo, hi
We propose and study a weakly convergent variant of the forward-backward algorithm for solving structured monotone inclusion problems. Our algorithm features a per-iteration deviation vector, providing additional degrees of freedom. The only requirement on the deviation vector to guarantee convergence is that its norm is bounded by a quantity that can be computed online. This approach offers great
Multi-junction photovoltaics approaches are being explored to mitigate thermalization losses that occur in the absorption of high-energy photons. However, the design of tandem cells faces challenges such as light reflection and parasitic absorption. Nanostructures have emerged as promising solutions due to their anti-reflection properties, which enhances light absorption. III-V nanowires (NWs) sol
Qatar 2022 has become a symbol of sportswashing, a flagpost for discussions about accountability, responsibility, and morality within different sport disciplines, football being a prime example. “Moral violation” has been listed as the crime surrounding sportswashing (Fruh, Archer & Wojtowicz 2023, 103). After frenzied use of the word in connection to the last football world cup 2022, there ca
Previous research has indicated an association between the presence of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in breast cancer tissue and a favorable prognosis. This study aimed to further evaluate the prognostic potential of VDR located in the nuclear membrane or nucleus (liganded). The VDR protein levels were analyzed using immunohistochemistry in tumor samples from 878 breast cancer patients from Lund, S
Manual co-speech gestures can facilitate language comprehension, especially in adverse listening conditions. However, we do not know whether gestures influence simultaneous interpreters’ language comprehension in adverse listening conditions, and if so, whether this influence is modulated by interpreting experience, or by active simultaneous interpreting (SI). We exposed 24 interpreters and 24 bil
Aims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common. We aimed to invasively derive and validate a quantitative echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and to compare its prognostic performance to diastolic dysfunction grading.Methods and results: Echocardiographic measures were used to derive an estimated PAWP (ePAWP) usingAims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common.

AimsWe aimed to investigate the association between the exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) response and future hypertension (HTN) in normotensive individuals referred for cycle ergometry, with special regard to reference exercise SBP values and exercise capacity.Methods and resultsIn this longitudinal cohort study, data from 14 428 exercise tests were cross-linked with Swedish national registr
