Soils are among Earth’s most vital yet slowly renewable natural resources. Chernozem stands out as the most fertile soil globally, capable of yielding high agricultural productivity, and it continues to play a significant role in modern agriculture. The Vojvodina region of Serbia is renowned for its fertile soil, including Chernozem. This study aims to evaluate the current condition and geotourism

The ubiquitous use of plastics demands thoughtfulness about their fate in the environment. Biodegradability is, therefore, a prerequisite for the future use of plastics in many applications, including agriculture. Here, we bring forward stable isotope (resonance) Raman microspectroscopy at the single-cell level to broaden the mechanistic understanding of microbial degradation of (micro)plastics in

Background and purpose: The CardioSwitch-study demonstrated that patients with solid tumors who develop cardiotoxicity on capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment can be safely switched to S-1, an alternative fluoropyrimidine (FP). In light of the European Medicines Agency approval of S-1 in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), this analysis provides more detailed safety and efficacy inform

There are four paths to a Swedish medical license. A shared agreement exists for those converting from a European license to recognize qualifications granted in the respective countries mutually. Swedish medical graduates and International Medical Graduates (IMGs) trained outside the EU/EES/Schweiz are assessed against the professional qualifications specified in the Higher Education Ordinance (19

Surgical treatment of liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CLM) is the only treatment option with curative potential; however, only about 15% to 20% of the patients seen at major hospitals are candidates for surgical resection. In a prospective study of liver transplantation (Ltx) for non-resectable CLM a 5-year overall survival rate of 60 % has been shown. We now plan to evaluate if the addit

A repulsively interacting Bose-Einstein condensate on a ring is well known to show persistent currents. For attractive interactions, however, a bound state may form that renders the rotation classical. Here we show that in a multiply connected confinement, the strong in-plane attraction of an antidipolar condensate can form stacks of ring-shaped density lumps which may coherently overlap to form a

CRISPR-mediated gene activation (CRISPRa) encompasses a growing field of biotechnological approaches with exciting implications for gene therapy. However, there is a lack of experimental validation tools for selecting efficient sgRNAs for downstream applications. Here, we present a screening assay capable of identifying efficient single- and double sgRNAs through fluorescence quantification in vit

Background Monitoring labor and childbirth, early recognition, and treatment of complications are critical for preventing adverse birth outcomes. However excessive use of interventions during labor has not been demonstrated to enhance subsequent birth outcomes and may, in fact, pose a risk of harm. The World Health Organization has recently synthesized research from the last decade concerning labo

Objectives We aimed to compare various methods for imputing disease activity in longitudinally collected observational data of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods We conducted a simulation study on data from 8583 axSpA patients from ten European registries. Disease activity was assessed by the Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) and the corresponding low disea

Background: Corticosteroids appears to be beneficial for severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children, but data in adults are limited. This study investigated effects of adjunctive corticosteroids in hypoxemic adults with M. pneumoniae pneumonia. Methods: Adults admitted 2013-2017 with verified M. pneumoniae pneumonia and hypoxemia (SpO2 < 93% or oxygen treatment) were included in a cohort.

We report the discovery and characterization of two sub-Saturns from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using high- resolution spectroscopic observations from the MaHPS spectrograph at the Wendelstein Observatory and the SOPHIE spectrograph at the Haute-Provence Observatory. Combining photometry from TESS, KeplerCam, LCOGT, and MuSCAT2, along with the radial velocity measurements fro

The digitalisation of courtrooms brings both opportunities and challenges to the judicial process, shaping our understandings of trials and their participants in a myriad of, at times, unexpected ways, and transforming how we participate in, attend, engage with, and consume trials. While digital tools offer potential benefits, they can also impact core aspects of judicial integrity, such as the co
