Gaining insight into structural and compositional transformations occurring at the electrode/electrolyte interface during the operation of electrochemical systems is fundamental to understanding and, thus, optimizing their performance. Such an analysis must be performed in operando conditions, owing to the potential, electrolyte and time dependence of these transformations. Here, the use of X-ray
The femtoscopic study of pairs of identical pions is particularly suited to investigate the effective source function of particle emission, due to the resulting Bose–Einstein correlation signal. In small collision systems at the LHC, pp in particular, the majority of the pions are produced in resonance decays, which significantly affect the profile and size of the source. In this work, we explicit
Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) provides a more realistic interpretation of crystallographic data than the standard independent atom model (IAM) by using aspherical atomic form factors derived from quantum mechanical (QM) calculations. With this aspherical description, it is possible to obtain improved atomic positions, atomic displacement parameters and correct bond lengths even for hydrogen atom
This article presents a search for a heavy charged Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark and a bottom quark, and decaying into a W boson and a 125 GeV Higgs boson h. The search is performed in final states with one charged lepton, missing transverse momentum, and jets using proton-proton collision data at s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC at CERN.

Objectives Structural valve deterioration is an inherent limitation of bioprosthetic valves; however, the time it takes to develop varies depending on the valve model. The Sorin Soprano aortic bioprosthetic valve (Sorin Group/LivaNova, Milan, Italy) lacks reported long-term results. This study aims to establish the long-term durability of this bioprosthetic valve in a nationwide cohort. Methods Al
Aims: Testing insulin resistance could help improve physician assessment of patients’ risk of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2D), even among normoglycemic individuals. Methods: The longitudinal study followed 16,333 normoglycemic participants in a nation-wide employer-sponsored health assessment program starting in August 2020 with a median follow-up time of 2.9 years for incident prediabetes or
Objectives Critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at an increased risk of acquiring bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI). We aimed to describe patient characteristics, risk factors, and the microbiological spectrum in blood cultures and evaluate the impact of ICU-acquired BSI on outcomes in a Nordic setting. Methods A prospective multicenter cohort study w
One hundred years ago Professor Erik von Willebrand, working at the Deaconess Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, published his landmark paper on hereditary pseudohemophilia (the original paper, in Swedish, was entitled Hereditär pseudohemofili and was published in Finska Läkaresällskapets Handlingar). In 1924, a 5-year-old girl named Hjördis, living in Föglö in the Åland Island archipelago, was brough
Martian carbonate-bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine- and carbonate-bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim and has a contested origin. Perseverance spent ∼350 sols
The ATLAS experiment has developed extensive software and distributed computing systems for Run 3 of the LHC. These systems are described in detail, including software infrastructure and workflows, distributed data and workload management, database infrastructure, and validation. The use of these systems to prepare the data for physics analysis and assess its quality are described, along with the
The stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C(CH4)) and hydrogen (δ2H(CH4)) in methane (CH4) from atmospheric air samples provide a tracer that can help distinguish the relative contribution of emission sources. These can be continuously measured at atmospheric monitoring stations by optical isotope ratio spectrometer (OIRS) instruments, providing data that is complementary to isotope ratio mass spect
With organic solar cells surpassing 20% efficiency, the focus is shifting toward understanding the more complex mechanisms in ternary blends. This work investigates the distinct working principles of ternary organic solar cells based on a polymer donor (D) and a nonfullerene acceptor (NFA), with a fullerene acceptor (FA) as the third component. A systematic comparison between ternary D:NFA:FA syst
Sveriges totalförsvar står inför ett behov av snabb återuppbyggnad. Det försämrade säkerhetspolitiska läget i Europa, i kombination med ökade och mer komplexa risker för störningar i samhällskritiska funktioner, har gjort detta arbete allt viktigare. Behovet av att säkra tillgången på varor och tjänster som är avgörande för befolkningens överlevnad och samhällets funktionalitet vid kriser och krig
Background In patients with stage III cutaneous melanoma, adjuvant treatments with PD-1 and BRAF+MEK inhibitors were approved based on improved recurrence-free survival. However, as the treatments have significant side effects and costs, the effect on overall survival remains a matter of great importance. Methods Clinical and histopathological parameters were obtained from the Swedish Melanoma Reg
Blood biomarkers have emerged as accurate tools for detecting Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic methods such as imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Yet, the logistics surrounding venipuncture for blood collection, although considerably simpler than the acquisition of imaging and CSF, require precise processing and st
Background: Tumor multiplicity is a negative prognostic factor in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) and the role of surgical resection in multiple iCCA remains unclear. Patients and Methods: Data were extracted from the Swedish quality registry for cancers of the liver and biliary tract, for all patients undergoing surgery for iCCA (2010–2021). Validation was performed with all Swedish hepato
When designing novel technology, many of the important design decisions tend to be taken early in the process, which is also when it is usually easier to modify the design. Thus, it is important to learn as much as possible, as early as possible in any design process. This work is carried out within the EU project ABILITY, which aims at developing novel refreshable tactile displays. Previously, we
BACKGROUND: Trigger finger surgery typically has a successful outcome, also in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the impact of glycemic control on long-term outcomes after open trigger finger release (OTFR) remains unclear. This study examines whether high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels affect patient-reported outcome (PRO) following OTFR in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Recurrent strokes are seven times more lethal than initial ones, with 54% leading to long-term disability. Substantial recurrent stroke risk disparities exist among ancestral groups. Notably, Africans face double the risk and higher fatality rates compared to Europeans. Although genetic studies, particularly GWAS, hold prom
