Importance: Alzheimer disease (AD) predominates in females at almost twice the rate relative to males. Mounting evidence in adults without AD indicates that females exhibit higher tau deposition than age-matched males, particularly in the setting of elevated β-amyloid (Aβ), but the evidence for sex differences in tau accumulation rates is inconclusive. Objective: To examine whether female sex is a
Purpose: Exercise-induced hypohydration exacerbates biomarkers of renal injury, but studies isolating the effects of hypohydration without exercise have produced mixed findings. This study investigated the effects of 24-h severe fluid restriction on biomarkers of renal injury and glucose tolerance. Methods: Fifteen males (age: 27 ± 5 y; BMI: 24.1 ± 3.8 kg/m2) completed two randomised trials, invol
Abstract in French:Le système éducatif suédois met, depuis des décennies, l’accent sur l’importance de l’évaluation critique de l’information. Néanmoins, les approches d’évaluation de l’information mises en œuvre demeurent insuffisamment développées d’un point de vue analytique. Cet article porte sur deux défis essentiels auxquels sont confrontés les établissements scolaires pour préparer les jeunTeachers are now encouraged to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools to complete various school-related administrative tasks, with the promise of saving considerable amounts of time and effort. Drawing on interviews from 57 teachers across eight schools in Sweden and Australia, this paper explores teachers’ experiences when working with GenAI. In particular, it focuses on the large
This article critically explores how the AI image model Stable Diffusion generates visual histories of Scandinavia in the 1930s. While the past has always been mediated, this study suggests that generative AI models constitute a black-boxed yet easily accessible tool for the narration of history. We draw on recent works in digital memory studies and use an explorative hands-on methodology to subje
With global food supply chains becoming more complex, the credibility of the food sector is under threat due to the loss of public trust with rising food fraud cases such as the horsemeat scandal, Chinese milk scandal, etc. Therefore, it has become essential to promote transparency and real-time visibility of the food supply chain from farm to fork to address the demand of all the stakeholders inv
To achieve a good ecological status of water resources, we are exploring new frontiers by envisioning river basin planning through the newly promoted digital twin perspective. In river basin management, a digital twin is an innovative virtual paradigm – a holistic living replica of the river basin achieved by seamless integration of real-time monitoring, historical observations, data analytics, pr
Microplastics are increasingly recognized as a pervasive pollutant in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, raising pressing concerns about their ecological impacts and implications for human health. Traditional detection and quantification methods—including manual microscopy and standalone spectroscopic techniques—offer reliable accuracy but are limited by labor-intensive procedures and low
