Recent years have seen major advances in tau-associated brain disorders through interdisciplinary research spanning molecular biology, neuroimaging, clinical trials, and therapeutic development. The Tau2024 Global Conference, hosted by the Alzheimer's Association, CurePSP, and Rainwater Charitable Foundation, showcased these efforts by bringing together researchers and experts worldwide to discuss

Intrapersonal diversity has emerged as an important trait among top managers, significantly improving firm and team performance. However, existing research treats this diversity as static orexogenously given, overlooking its developmental origins. Drawing on imprinting theory, we explore how early-childhood parental diversity and later-life crisis events shape a manager’s decision to acquire this

District heating and cooling is a simple but powerful technology that could contribute to decarbonising Europe's heating and cooling supply. However, its current overall penetration is minor. Furthermore, future systems could adopt different configurations with various settings of temperature levels or production location. This thesis has aimed to improve existing tools to evaluate district heatin

BACKGROUND: Despite the high level of economic development in the Group of Seven (G7) countries, injury deaths remain a public health concern in these countries. This paper examines the contribution of injury deaths to changes in life expectancy (LE) and life disparity (LD) in the G7 countries.METHODS: We used annual data from the WHO mortality database to compute LE and LD during 2001-03 and 2017

This paper presents a snapshot of a neolithic maritime exchange network centred on the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) site of Tråsättra (circa 2630 to 2470 BCE), located northeast of modern-day Stockholm, Sweden. We used a combination of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-MA/ES) and thin section analysis to study and source the clays used to produce 19 potsherds and 39 ce

UNLABELLED: Children with congenital and acquired heart disease have an increased risk of thromboembolic events. There is a paucity of evidence on the optimal approach to thromboprophylaxis for this population, and the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants in recent years has led to significant variation in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to describe current practice in thrombopro

Patents are among the most common proxies for innovation, and a long-standing discussion is therefore to what extent patents can be used to monitor trends in innovation activity. This study proposes a new straightforward approach to measure the amount and quality of information content of a data source, where information is approached as a transmission from a source to a receiver through a noisy c

Unraveling the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of species diversity is a central pursuit in ecology. It has been hypothesized that ectomycorrhizal (EcM) in contrast to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can reduce tree species diversity in local communities, which remains to be tested at the global scale. To address this gap, we analyzed global forest inventory data and revealed that the relations

Slättbygdslandskap saknar i stort födoresurser för pollinerande insekter. Insådd av blommande remsor har blivit allt vanligare runtom i Europa, som en del av ländernas miljöstödsprogram och som ett sätt att öka tillgången på blomresurser. Länder som England, Österrike och Tyskland har exempelvis miljöstöd för blommande remsor. Flera andra länder, bl.a. Sverige har ersättning för blommande ytor som

En stad är ett mångfasetterat och svårbestämt begrepp och på samma vis blir därför speglingarna av staden mångfasetterade.Trettio författare bjuder i boken på sina speglingar och berättelser därför finns olika minnen och flera tidsreferenser som ställer frågor om; vad en stad är; vilka historier en stad som Malmö bär på; hur berättandet och avbildandet av staden möjliggörs, genom vilka kanaler ske

Mitochondrial replacement therapy has been developed in order to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial mutations, yet it raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding the involvement of third-party DNA and the risks associated with donor procedures. This paper explores an alternative approach using synthetic DNA (synDNA) to construct mitochondrial organelles, thereby bypassing the need for d

Malmö Strumpfabrik, eller Strumpan som fabriken har kallats i folkmun genom åren, har på flera vis en särställning i Malmö: som bärare av kvinnors, mäns och migranters erfarenheter från en textilindustri; som en lokal kultur, på samma gång patriarkal och med stark facklig tradition; som högteknologi och kanske Europas modernaste; som ledande i den svenska och nordiska mode- och livsstilsproduktion

En stad är ett mångfasetterat och svårbestämt begrepp och på samma vis blir därför speglingarna av staden mångfasetterade. Som om stadens invånare vid samma tillfälle såg inte en, utan flera städer samtidigt, och där speglingarna utgör samtidens motsägelsefulla bilder av en och samma stad. Många– författare, journalister, forskare, musiker och filmare – har visat sitt intresse för Malmö. Ändå finn

Transparency has emerged as a fundamental component of ethical AI guidelines around the world. In the European Union (EU), it is recognised as one of the core principles for fostering Trustworthy AI, and serves as a cornerstone in building an ecosystem of trust within the AI governance framework.However, to support these ambitious policy objectives, the concept of transparency must be translated i

Topology optimization is a mathematical tool for the computational design of structures,particularly valuable in the early stages of the design process. Gradient-basedoptimization methods, combined with finite element analysis, form the foundation ofan iterative procedure where the design is continuously updated and evaluated. To expandthe applicability of topology optimization, this thesis explor
