Multi-electron donation remains a challenge for CO2 photocatalytic conversion to multi-electron products due to the efficient Auger recombination or annihilation at multiple excitation conditions for conventional molecules or semiconductor photocatalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated possible multi-electron donation within a quantum dot (QD)/metal complex hybrid photocatalyst system when multipl
A causal inference framework was developed to investigate crop responses to agricultural drought by integrating meteorological data, Sentinel-2-derived data, and soil property maps. To account for crop rotation, soil, and topographical variables, propensity score matching was employed to estimate drought-induced yield losses at the field level for selected periods. The Plant Phenology Index (PPI)
Peatlands are vital ecosystems that regulate global carbon storage and hydrology, driven by waterlogged conditions that foster organic matter accumulation. However, disentangling the interactions between climate, hydrology, and tree growth in peatlands remains challenging. To investigate these relationships, we developed a 117-year ring width (RW) chronology (1902–2019) and complementary intra-ann
An integrated framework is introduced and applied to assess the health impact of airborne pollution with greater physiological relevance, moving beyond conventional exposure metrics. Measured particle number size distribution data was integrated with a regional respiratory tract deposition fractions to estimate total and alveolar deposited particle surface area concentrations. Land use regression
Purpose:This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the recirculation of products by empirically exploring, conceptualising and explaining how second-hand goods are made in practices and processes of valuation.Design/methodology/approach: The paper takes a practice theory approach to valuation and draws on an ethnographic study of ReTuna, a second-hand shopping mall, to explore the valua
This article discusses the interweaving of queerness, affect and translation in the asylum process, focusing on the role of legal representatives. Through 16 semi-structured interviews with asylum lawyers in Greece, it explores their collaborative work with queer asylum seekers in preparing a “credible” account. Approaching legal preparation as a process of translating applicants’ emotions into wh
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. One of the systems which AF is influenced by is the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate. Environmental stressors, such as air pollution, may also affect these physiological systems and contribute
Additives such as binders and hydrophobic agents are commonly introduced into the fibrous Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells to enhance mechanical strength and facilitate water management. However, the effect of additive/fiber content and surface wettability on water removal, oxygen diffusion, and heat conduction remains insufficiently understood. In this work, we dev
We live in a post-truth society, where lies, deception, and untruth play an increasingly significant role on the grand political stage. But what about everyday leadership in everyday organisations – what roles do lies play there? This paper develops the notion of mendaciology (Lat. Mendacium: ‘lie,’ ‘untruth’) to address this question empirically. The key idea with a mendaciological approach is to
This study contributes to the growing literature on mobile work by examining the coordination of safety practices in public transport in Stockholm. We explore how safety, a critical and evolving theme in mobility studies, intersects with mobile work and its associated coordination challenges. Since the introduction of safety policies, security guards have focused on ‘circulatory maintenance’, a pr
Background: Early restitution of electroencephalogram (EEG) slow wave activity (SWA) may be able to predict favorable functional outcome after cardiac arrest. SWA can be monitored using the C-Trend Index, a recently developed dynamic numerical index computed using commercially available medical device software. Methods: This is a pre-planned prospective substudy of the randomized controlled Sedati
Date palm oases in North Africa have historically supported agriculture through indigenous irrigation techniques such as foggaras and tabias, made possible by a relatively stable water supply. However, the sustainability of these systems is increasingly threatened by irrational water use, climate change and environmental resources degradation. In response to these challenges, we introduced and eva
Structured abstractPurposeThe purpose is to examine how academic researchers perceive the communication dynamics in virtual and hybrid conferences to gain access to communities of knowledge. The paper contributes to the research field of strategic communication.MethodologyUsing a qualitative, interpretive approach, purposive sampling was utilised to recruit a diverse group of researchers from Swed
Aluminum (Al), as a carbon-free energy source, features favorable characteristics regarding its production, transportation, utilization, and recyclability. The combustion of single Al particles mainly occurs as a vapor-phase diffusion flame, wherein the gas-phase combustion kinetics plays an important role. However, the understanding of the kinetics is still limited and rate constants for the same
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tau accumulation pattern shows substantial variability in Alzheimer disease (AD), and 4 distinct spatiotemporal trajectories were distinguished using a data-driven approach called the Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn). A visual method to validate and identify these subtypes is a requirement for their clinical translation. Our study aimed to provide a standardized top
Odor recognition memory (ORM) combines olfaction and episodic memory, both linked to dementia and impaired in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Measuring ORM may indicate early PD dementia and aid in selecting device-aided Parkinson therapy. This study investigates ORM capacity and hippocampal dynamic functional connectivity in PD. Thirty-one PD participants and 31 healthy controls (HC) underwent function
OBJECTIVE: Linear radiological measures have low sensitivity to detect changes in ventricular volume in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. Ventricular volumetry is accurate and sensitive in detecting subtle changes in cerebrospinal fluid volumes. The Codman Certas® Plus is an adjustable shunt valve with 8 settings and resistant to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-induced inadv
