Japan’s warning wasn’t triggered by a government audit or diplomatic scandal. It came because a citizen saw concerning social media posts and decided to act.

Background/Objectives: Antibiotic resistance presents an urgent public health threat. By developing a streamlined and effective method for studying bacteriophage induction, this research marks a step further in understanding how antibiotic-resistant genes might spread across different environments. This knowledge is essential for creating strategies to reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistanc

Carbon labelling of food products serves as a demand-side tool with the potential to drive the essential shift in consumption patterns toward reducing climate impact. For carbon labels to influence food choices, they must enable consumers to recognize and adopt purchasing behaviour that lower their climate footprint. While inference plays a critical role in facilitating behavioural change, evidenc

In this study, we investigate the benefits of using structured illumination light-sheet microscopy with axial sweeping (SILMAS) in the context of neural network-assisted quantification of pathology in volumetric data. A bottleneck for training a neural network is the availability of manually labeled training data that adequately covers the variance in unseen samples, allowing the network to correc

This paper calculates the consumption expenditure of internal visitors in Sweden, and Swedes' expenditures on outboard tourism, according to the WTO definition of tourism expenditure. The demand-based calculations of national tourism are distributed among same-day visitors and overnight visitors, for leisure and business purposes. The supply side calculations cover the main tourism industries. Dai

Starting from a day-to-day model on hotel specific guest nights we obtain an integer-valued moving average model by cross-sectional and temporal aggregation. The two parameters of the aggregate model reflect mean check-in and the check-out probability. Letting the parameters be functions of dummy and economic variables we demonstrate the potential of the approach in terms of interesting interpreta

Gold shell-isolated nanoparticles (AuSHINs) are promising photothermal therapy (PTT) agents for cancer treatment due to their excellent photoconversion efficiency, biocompatibility, colloidal stability, and tunable properties, including size, shape, and surface functionalization. However, their therapeutic efficacy in in vitro assays is often limited by poor cellular uptake and lysosomal entrapmen

Background: Lung injury in COVID-19 is characterized by neutrophil invasion and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). An aberrant NET formation may induce local inflammation and increase sputum viscosity. Inhalation of DNase I (dornase alfa) is a treatment option that degrades NETs in the airways. Previous case series have indicated positive clinical effects of inhaled dornase alfa

We compare measurements of star formation efficiency to cloud-scale gas properties across the PHANGS- ALMA sample. Dividing 67 galaxies into 1.5 kpc scale regions, we calculate the molecular gas depletion time τ dep mol = Σ mol / Σ SFR and the star formation efficiency per freefall time ϵ ff mol = τ ff / τ dep mol for each region. Then we test how τ dep mol and ϵ ff mol vary as functions of the re

On March 30, 2022, Inno4Vac, a public-private partnership funded by the IMI2/EU/EFPIA Joint Undertaking (IMI2 JU), organised a hybrid workshop, titled “Regulatory Dialogue for Road Maps of Implementation of New Tools in Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Dossiers.” This event brought together modellers, regulatory experts, and academic and industry professionals specialising in vaccine process

The main information in DNA is its four-letter sequence that builds up the genetic information and that is traditionally read using sequencing methodologies. DNA can, however, also carry other important information, such as epigenetic marks and DNA damage. This information has recently been visualized along single DNA molecules using fluorescent labels. Quantifying fluorescent labels along DNA is

As the field of metal halide perovskites matures, a range of compositionally different perovskite films has found a place in efficient optoelectronic devices. These films feature variable local structural stability, carrier diffusion, and recombination, while there is still a lack of easy-to-implement generic protocols for high-throughput characterization of these variable properties. Correlation

Background. Inherited kidney diseases (IKDs) and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are causes of kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT) that major renal registries usually amalgamate into the primary renal disease(PRD) category ‘miscellaneous’ or in the glomerulonephritis or pyelonephritis categories. This makes IKDs invisible (except for polycystic ki

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
