High-resolution global population projections dataset developed with CMIP6 RCP and SSP scenarios for year 2010–2100

We present a novel, global 30 arc seconds (∼1 km at the equator) population projection dataset covering each year from 2010 to 2100 that is consistent with both country level population and gridded urban fractions from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6). While IPCC population projections until 2100 are available at country level for Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs), land cover (incl

Denmark

While Denmark retains its pragmatic approach to China and largely frames the Sino-Danish relationship in terms of economic diplomacy, controversies related to human rights have strained bilateral ties in recent years.

Intershell interactions in correlated materials : A slave-rotor approach

The treatment of intershell interactions remains a major challenge in the theoretical description of strongly correlated materials. Most previous approaches considered the influence of intershell interactions at best in a static fashion, neglecting dynamic effects. In this paper, we propose a slave-rotor method that goes beyond this approximation by incorporating the effect of intershell interacti

Ögonlocket krossade drömmen om Amerika

PURPOSE: To investigate Swedish immigrants to the United States debarred for medical reasons, with particular focus on trachoma. METHOD: Annual official reports of debarred immigrants have been compiled to compare reasons for debarment among Scandinavian immigrants vs. immigrants from all countries. Individual cases of trachoma among Swedish immigrants have been searched for in contemporary newspa

Acute effect of traditional and adaptive metronomes on gait variability in older individuals with a history of falls

Background: Metronome cueing has been shown to reduce gait variability and thereby potentially reduce falls risk in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. It is unclear however, if metronome cueing has a similar effect in healthy older adults with a history of falls. Aim: To investigate whether a traditional and/or an adaptive metronome, based on an individual’s gait pattern, were effective in redu

Structural analysis of botulinum neurotoxins type B and E by Cryo-EM

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the causative agents of a potentially lethal paralytic disease targeting cholinergic nerve terminals. Multiple BoNT serotypes exist, with types A, B and E being the main cause of human botulism. Their extreme toxicity has been exploited for cosmetic and therapeutic uses to treat a wide range of neuromuscular disorders. Although naturally occurring BoNT types share

Online Sparse Reconstruction for Scanning Radar Using Beam-Updating q-SPICE

The generalized sparse iterative covariance-based estimation ( $q$ -SPICE) algorithm was recently introduced for scanning radar applications, resulting in substantial improvements in the angular resolution and quality of the processed images. Regrettably, the computational complexity and storage cost are high and quickly increase with growing data size, limiting the applicability of the estimator.

Avoidance, rationalization, and denial : Defensive self-protection in the face of climate change negatively predicts pro-environmental behavior

Despite urgent need for climate action, denial of climate change and resulting absence of appropriate pro-environmental behavior are widespread. Interpretive (recognition of climate change as a problem but re-interpretation of its severity) and implicatory denial of climate change (recognition of climate change as a problem but denial of psychological, political, and moral implications) can be int

Phenotypic plasticity in floral scent in response to nutrient, but not water, availability in the perennial plant Arabis alpina

Floral scent is an important mediator of plant–pollinator interactions. Multiple recent studies report ample intraspecific scent variation among populations and individuals. Yet, few studies have eastimated effects of phenotypic plasticity on floral scent in response to differing environmental factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of nutrient and water availability on floral scent in

Parkinson’s disease in Sweden—resource use and costs by severity

Objectives: To estimate resource use and costs, including direct and indirect costs, in relation to levels of severity in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) in a Swedish setting. Materials and methods: Patients with idiopathic PD registered in the National Parkinson's Disease Patient Registry (PARKreg), with registrations of Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) and “off time” in the Skåne Region, were

Improving smoking cessation after myocardial infarction by systematically implementing evidence-based treatment methods

We compared the odds of smoking cessation at 2-months post-myocardial infarction (MI), before and after implementing routines optimizing use of evidence-based smoking cessation methods, with start during admission. The following routines were implemented at six Swedish hospitals: cardiac rehabilitation nurses offering smokers consultation during admission, optimizing nicotine replacement therapy a

Impact of age at onset on symptom profiles, treatment characteristics and health-related quality of life in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is typically considered an age-related disease, but the age at disease onset can vary by decades between patients. Aging and aging-associated diseases can affect the movement system independently of PD, and advanced age has previously been proposed to be associated with a more severe PD phenotype with accelerated progression. In this work, we investigated how interactions

Localized Internationalism : Camping Across Borders in the Early Swedish Boy Scout Movement

This article examines early Boy Scout camps as events of national display and localized internationalism. By detailing how the camp culture of the Swedish Boy Scout movement facilitated transnational integration, the article shows that internationalism as localized practice can be observed in summer camp environments from the early days of the twentieth century. Reports from these early camps high

Ab initio multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations of the in and Tl electron affinities and their isotope shifts

We report multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and relativistic configuration interaction calculations on the thallium (Tl) electron affinity, as well as on the excited energy levels arising from the ground configuration of Tl-. The results are compared with the available experimental values and further validated by extending the study to its homologous, lighter element, indium (In), belonging to

Light quality, oxygenic photosynthesis and more.

Oxygenic photosynthesis takes place in thylakoid membranes (TM) of cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants. Itbegins with light absorption by pigments in large (modular) assemblies of pigment-binding proteins, which thentransfer excitation energy to the photosynthetic reaction centers of photosystem (PS) I and PSII. In green algaeand plants, these light-harvesting protein complexes contain chlorop
