Biochemical differences between sexes can also be seen in non-sexual organs and may affect organ functions and susceptibility to diseases. It has been shown that there are sex-biased visual perceptions and impairments. Abundance differences of eye proteins could provide explanations for some of these. Exploration of the ocular proteome was performed to find sex-based protein abundance differences

The tention between culture and nature - The view on nature and Sápmi in Sveriges Natur 1910-1928 Nature has always been a topic of human conversation, and today's debate is usually about how we are going to stop climate change. In the early 20th century, the first laws that protected nature were established in Sweden, and one actor that especially worked for more conservation was Svenska Nat

My written contribution responds to the questions: How des your practice relate to placemaking? How is it possible to use sense of place as material and starting point for research or artistic work? What methods do you use for co-creation and relationship building in relation to place?

User Equipment (UE) grouping entails categorizing multiple UEs, including mobile phones or smart devices, according to defined criteria. It provides valuable insights for applications to optimize network resources, enhance handover procedures, and improve user experience. This study investigates UE grouping in a Fifth Generation (5G) Time Division Duplex (TDD) system based on Uplink (UL) Sounding

Nya lagar och miljöcertifieringar införs idag för att minska byggindustrins miljö- och klimatpåverkan. Från och med 2022 har krav ställts på klimatdeklaration av nybyggnationer med en byggnadsarea större än 100 m2 för att kontrollera hur stor klimatpåverkan en byggnad har. Cementproduktionen står för en stor del av byggindustrins koldioxidutsläpp, vilket gör att byggindustrins koldioxidutsläppNew laws and environmental certifications are being introduced today to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. From 2022 onwards, environmental declarations have been required for new buildings with a construction area of more than 100 m2 in order to control the environmental impact of a building. Cement production accounts for a large proportion of carbon dioxide emissi

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en fördjupad kunskap om chefers upplevda arbetsbelastning och egen motivation, genom att undersöka relationen mellan deras motivation och påfrestande arbetsmiljö. Samt om kombinationen av teorin Self-Determination Theory och modellen Job Characteristic Model är möjlig att applicera i detta sammanhang. Frågeställning: På vilket sätt upplever chefer sin

For more than two decades, Iran’s nuclear program has been a central focus of Europe’s engagement with Iran. Presently, with the virtual collapse of the Iran nuclearagreement (JCPOA) and Iran’s support for Russia in the war against Ukraine—coupled with the repercussions of the Mahsa Amini protests and the war in Gaza— Europe’s relations with Iran are deteriorating as Iran’s interests in Europe are

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma-translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is an attractive target for the development of modulatory compounds in the treatment of lymphoma and other cancers. While the three-dimensional structure of MALT1 has been previously determined through X-ray analysis, its dynamic behaviour in solution has remained unexplored. We present here dynamic analyses of the apo MALT

Viruses compete with each other for limited cellular resources, and some deliver defense mechanisms that protect the host from competing genetic parasites 1. PARIS is a defense system, often encoded in viral genomes, that is composed of a 55 kDa ABC ATPase (AriA) and a 35 kDa TOPRIM nuclease (AriB) 2. However, the mechanism by which AriA and AriB function in phage defense is unknown. Here we show

Fertility requires the faithful proliferation of germ cells and their differentiation into gametes. Controlling these cellular states demands precise timing and expression of gene networks. Nucleic acid binding proteins (NBPs) play critical roles in gene expression networks that influence germ cell development. There has, however, been no functional analysis of the entire NBP repertoire in control

AIM: To describe sociodemographic disparities in temporal trends of incidence and age distributions of first registered osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis in southern Sweden.METHODS: We identified all Skåne residents aged 35+ who had lived in the region at any point during the period 2006-2019 with no previous OA diagnosis (ICD-10 codes M15-M19) for 8 years prior to inclusion in the study (n = 849,061)

Entrenchment of multi-word sequences is known to shape native language competence, but there is debate about how (much) it affects L2 speakers. We investigate advanced English learners’ receptive processing of multi-word sequences with a word-monitoring experiment. The effect of reduction on recognition of the word to was tested in English V-to-Vinf constructions of varying surface frequencies and

Neutron spectroscopy uniquely and non-destructively accesses diffusive dynamics in soft and biological matter, including for instance proteins in hydrated powders or in solution, and more generally dynamic properties of condensed matter on the molecular level. Given the limited neutron flux resulting in long counting times, it is important to optimize data acquisition for the specific question, in

Alpha masked geometry such as foliage has long been one of the trickier things to render efficiently, both for rasterization based approaches and for hardware accelerated ray-tracing. Recently, a new type of primitive was introduced to the Vulkan® and DirectX® ray-tracing APIs that promises to alleviate this issue: Opacity Micromaps, a structure that uses a bit of extra memory as hints to the pipe

The habitual consumption of snacks has the potential to enrich or harm the diet. They can contribute to excessive caloric intake and hyperglycemia. Thus, there is an increasing interest in snacks with health-promoting properties. This study aimed to demonstrate the beneficial effect of two fruit-based bars on glucose levels through in vitro, in vivo, and in silico assays. Mango (Mangifera indica L

In two interventions, 139 and 52 preschool children, age 4–6, from low-SES communities in Sweden, used a play-&-learn game in early mathematics for 10 weeks, about 20 min at a time. 50 % of the participating children were Swedish second language speakers with low language proficiency and about 20 % had learning vulnerabilities in the form of developmental language disorders and neurocognitive

In the Arctic and subarctic oceans, the relatively low supply of silicon (compared to other nutrients) can make it limiting for the growth of diatoms, a fundamental building block of the oceanic food web. Glaciers release large quantities of dissolved silicon and dissolvable solid amorphous silica phases into high-latitude estuaries (fjords), but the role of these glacially-derived silica phases i
