Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is an important industrial chemical used to produce various value-added chemicals and polymers. In this study, both biobased butyraldehyde and formaldehyde were produced by the incomplete oxidation of bio-1-butanol and biomethanol, respectively, and were then used to produce a biobased TMP. High selective incomplete oxidation of primary alcohol to aldehyde is a challenging

This study explores the use of manganese ore, iron-carbon particles (Fe-C), and gravel as anode fillers in electroactive constructed wetlands (ECWs) to treat wastewater containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) including ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL), and naproxen (NPX), while also assessing bioelectricity production. Although the presence of PPCPs reduced pollutant remo

En historia om fyra framstående finsk-amerikanska musiker i början av 1900-talet: Einar Swan, Sylvester Ahola, Wäinö Kauppi och Emil Hurja.A history of four prominent Finnish-American musicians in the early 20th century: Einar Swan, Sylvester Ahola, Wäinö Kauppi and Emil Hurja.

This chapter has its origins in a Swedish version but has been updated through studies conducted as part of a Nordic research project on the 0governance of AI and automated decision-making in the public sector, and within the framework of a research cluster on the AI welfare state. The analysis aims to deepen our understanding of how European AI regulation is grappling with regulating a moving tar

In order to elucidate the multidimensional response mechanism for migration of antibiotics and spread of resistome in riverbed driven by river water level fluctuations, dynamic reactors were set up to simulate the variation of sulfamethazine vertical migration, biotransformation and resistance genes expression according to fluctuation direction and magnitude. The upward fluctuation of water level

Flexural bond strength is a key parameter influencing the structural performance of masonry, yet its accurate prediction remains challenging due to the complex interplay of multiple material and testing variables. This study presents a machine learning (ML) framework for predicting flexural bond strength using a harmonized database comprising 1041 test specimens. Additionally, a review of 67 publi

This study investigates the impact of brick types and workmanship on water penetration in brick masonry veneer walls. Masonry specimens, built by two masons using solid and perforated bricks with two different laying methods, were subjected to an average water spray rate of 28 l/m²·h. Results indicate that, on average, the water penetration rate was approximately twice as high in solid bricks as i

This paper examines prominence from a pragmatic, phonological and acoustic-articulatory perspective. Based on results of a corpus-based analysis of Topic prosodic units in four languages (Italian, Brazilian and European Portuguese, and American English), three types of topic prosodic forms (TPFs) are described. Also are reviewed studies reporting phonological organization of English prominence pat

Our relationships with others structure many aspects of our lives, especially during important moments such as choosing an education, entering the workforce, forming partnerships or starting a family. While the influence of family and parenting has been widely studied, less is known about the role of non-family connections, such as neighbours. One reason is that the data needed to study these rela

HAVING STRONG BRANDS is a key to our success. One of our most important tasks for the future is therefore strengthening the Erisson brand. Our ambition is to further develop Ericsson – a brand that represents and projects reliability. This is a fundamental prerequisite if we are to increase our collective competitiveness, ability to grow, and profitability.1) The Ericsson Trademark Book:2) Tradema

The building sector accounts for a significant portion of global final energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating the need to find low-carbon alternatives to new construction. Adaptive reuse offers a sustainable alternative to new construction, yet early-stage assessments of reuse potential often rely on surface-level metrics, failing to consider a building's internal spatial logic. Th

In this paper, we propose a scheme to identify discrete-time, multi-input/multi-output switched-linear systems (MIMO-SLSs) from input-output measurements. The key step is an observer-based transformation to a switched auto-regressive with exogenous input (SARX) model. This transformation converts the state-space (SS) identification problem into a MIMO-SARX identification problem by compressing inf

Historians of knowledge recognize that scientific knowledge is insepa- rable from ideology, which means that the intertwinement of the epistemic and the political constitutes a key topic of study. However, historians of knowledge have thus far not focused sufficiently on intersections with religiosity and spiritu- ality. To address this gap, this article introduces the numinous as a complemen- tar

Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from trigeminal structures is central to migraine pathophysiology. This study employed an ex vivo model preserving anatomical continuity between the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) and trigeminal ganglion (TG) to investigate (1) whether TNC stimulation induces peripheral CGRP release from the TG and (2) the potential involvement of a dis

Excitation energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes is vital for highly efficient primary photosynthesis. Controlling this process is the key for advancing the emerging artificial photosynthetic systems. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the enhanced excitation energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting 2 complexes (LH2) mediated through the Fabry-Pérot opti

The long-term effects of COVID-19, known as post-COVID condition (PCC), are still not fully understood. This systematic review synthesizes findings from Nordic registry studies to highlight long-term outcomes after COVID-19 infection. Twenty-two studies, primarily reflecting the pre-omicron and early vaccination phases, reveal increased primary care use for respiratory issues and fatigue in the su

This was a retrospective cross-sectional study evaluating the aetiology and antibiotic susceptibility in patients treated for suspected bacterial keratitis at Skåne University Hospital during 2019. Inclusion criteria: eyes with bacterial keratitis. Exclusion criteria: co-infection with other microbes. Primary outcome parameters: predisposing factors, causative pathogens and antibiotic susceptibili

Research excellence instruments (REIs) are among the most popular types of research funding in several research systems, including the Global South. A significant proportion of REIs is intended to promote pathbreaking or groundbreaking contributions. Specific research outcomes can often be traced back to a given project’s scientific objectives, but projections about the impact on the field and the

Background: Older adults are underrepresented in suicide prevention research, even though suicide rates are higher in this age group (65+) than in any other age group in many countries worldwide. There are few clinical intervention studies that target this age group. A promising preventive intervention is the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP). Given differences in suicidal behav
