How new generation techniques are shaping the future of environmental sciences
This perspective highlights the role of new-generation analytical techniques in future applications in environmental sciences since the shift to the One Health research paradigm. It reviews the interactions between the compartments of One Health and indicates the current challenges in traditional environmental research. The term One Health was first used at the beginning of the 20th century, yet m
Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring in Thyroid Operations
Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a rare but dreaded complication of thyroid surgery. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is a technology intended to assist surgeons in identifying the RLN and confirming its function. This chapter describes the technology and technique of IONM, with tips for utilization and interpretation of results. A review of the existing literature on the res
Stress-Related Disorders among Young Individuals with Surgical Removal of Tonsils or Adenoids
Importance: Studies have suggested an increased risk of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behavior among individuals who have undergone tonsillectomy. However, little is known about stress-related disorders. Objective: To investigate whether surgical removal of tonsils or adenoids is associated with a subsequent risk of stress-related disorders. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort stud
Mycorrhiza-dependent drivers of the positive rhizosphere effects on the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial respiration in subtropical forests
Tree roots and their fungal symbionts mediate the response of rhizosphere soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition to climate warming, specifically the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial respiration (Q10), which is a critical parameter for projecting the magnitude of terrestrial soil C-climate feedbacks. However, the intensity of the rhizosphere effects (RE; rhizosphere soils vs. bulk soils)

Radiation Efficiency and Gain Bounds for Microstrip Patch Antennas
This paper presents bounds on radiation efficiency and gain for microstrip patch antennas, demonstrating close alignment with the performance of classic antenna designs. These bounds serve as effective benchmarks for assessing antenna performance and evaluating trade-offs and design feasibility. The study particularly addresses the trade-off between miniaturization and performance by comparing bou
Moving the Body and the Mind : Links between Emotion and Rhythmic Communication and the underlying Neurobiological Mechanisms
Rhythmic patterning is a widespread structural trait of animal (including human) communication. Concomitantly, a key role of communication is to convey and/or induce emotion. The expression and modulation of emotion is also hypothesized to be a key mechanism for the evolution of rhythmic synchronization in humans. Despite the centrality of both rhythm and emotion to human and nonhuman communicatio

Rb-promoted Fe/CeO2 nanocatalyst for aniline conversion into azoxybenzene, DFT calculations and mechanism
Selectivity control of aniline oxidation and low reactant conversion in traditional synthesis methods are great challenges, and it is desirable to develop a green, low-cost and highly efficient catalytic route toward value-added products. Herein, an Rb-promoted Fe/CeO2 nanocatalyst was prepared to understand the effects of Rb-promoter on the catalytic performance for the selective oxidation of ani
Cancers not detected in one-view breast tomosynthesis screening—characteristics and reasons for non-detection
Objectives: Limited understanding exists regarding non-detected cancers in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening. This study aims to classify non-detected cancers into true or false negatives, compare them with true positives, and analyze reasons for non-detection. Materials and methods: Conducted between 2010 and 2015, the prospective single-center Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Tria
Simmering Tensions and Emerging Conflicts Among Key Group Actors Amid Capitalist Transformation in Northern Ghana
A capitalist agrarian transformation is unfolding in northern Ghana, marked by shifts in crop types, rapid increases in farm sizes and deepening rural social differentiation. This paper investigates these dynamics through a mixed-methods approach across six farming communities in two districts, focusing on how social differentiation, accumulation, dispossession and exploitation reshape the region.

Contact Allergy to Methacrylate Containing Nail Products : Lack of Impact of EU Legislation. An Audit on Behalf of the European Environmental Contact Dermatitis Research Group (EECDRG)
Background: There is a current fashion for the use of methacrylate-containing nail cosmetics that can induce allergic contact dermatitis. European Union (EU) legislation was introduced in 2021 that had the aim of preventing its development. Objectives: To assess prevalence and exposures causing contact allergy to 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) prior to and following implementation of the legis

Moonlighting complement inhibitors and their link to human diseases
Breast cancer and type 2 diabetes are major health concerns worldwide. This thesis has focused on novel non-canonical roles of two complement inhibitors, which led to the discovery of new mechanisms and factors at play in these diseases. The sushi domain-containing protein 4 (SUSD4) was previously portrayed as a breast cancer suppressor, but no mechanism was identified. In paper I, using a syngene
Clinical Applications of Bone Marrow CD34 Immunohistochemistry (BM CD34 IHC) Assay : International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH) Guidelines
Introduction: Investigation of bone marrow (BM) trephine biopsies and/or clot sections by CD34 immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing has been used by pathologists for several decades, and its clinical value has been well established with QBEND10 being the most frequently used primary antibody (Ab) clone. However, most other parameters related to the IHC protocol as well as the readout vary widely bet
Uncomfortable interviews : A research journey of discomfort and how to make the most of it
How does discomfort affect research interviewing? Recent contributions suggest that researchers do not always experience discomfort as problematic but also as productive. We explore our experiences of, and strategies for, uncomfortable interviews. Based on experiences of interviewing right-wing populist Twitter activists in the United States and Sweden, we make four claims. First, discomfort may a
Psychological risk and protective factors of immunity : a cross-cultural network analysis
Evidence shows psychological factors (e.g. stress) are linked to immunity, yet there is a lack of research investigating the complex interactions between psychological factors and immune function. Network analysis is useful to investigate complex interrelations between relevant health-related variables. This study applied network analyses to examine associations between psychological protective fa
