From the press text by Hans Dieter Huber:"For his new curtain objects, he uses thin cotton of the kind used in shirt production. He primes it very thinly with 20-30 layers of colour in an aqueous solution. These can be normal colour pigments, but also metal pigments. He uses a long stick with a lambskin roller to apply the paint. This is important for him in order to achieve a certain distance fro

Överskuldsättning innebär en situation där en individs svårigheter att återbetala sina skulder ger upphov till en kontrollförlust över ekonomin. Överskuldsättning är ett stort och växande problem i Sverige som ger upphov till en rad olika folkhälsoproblem. Unga vuxna personer är en särskilt sårbar grupp för att hamna i skuldsättningsproblem. Fokus i detta kapitel är att analysera unga vuxna person

Background: People with early axial spondyloarthritis experience a diagnostic delay and a similar disease burden as people with axial spondyloarthritis at a later stage of the disease. In many European countries, patients with early axial spondyloarthritis do not have access to an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. The objective of this study was to develop a new evidence-based physiotherapist

Diderot's Encyclopédie is a reference work from XVIIIth century in Europe that aimed at collecting the knowledge of its era. Wikipedia has the same ambition with a much greater scope. However, the lack of digital connection between the two encyclopedias may hinder their comparison and the study of how knowledge has evolved. A key element of Wikipedia is Wikidata that backs the articles with a grap

Mammalian vocalisations are extremely diverse, and evolutionary approaches to understanding this diversity assume that much of their acoustic form maps onto their function, with specific features serving universal roles. Here, we hypothesize that nonlinear phenomena (i.e., deterministic chaos, sidebands, subharmonics, and frequency jumps), which make the voice perceptually rough or harsh, contribu

X-ray multi-projection imaging (XMPI) is an emerging experimental technique for the acquisition of rotation-free, time-resolved, volumetric information on stochastic processes. The technique is developed for high-brilliance light-source facilities, aiming to address known limitations of state-of-the-art imaging methods in the acquisition of 4D sample information, linked to their need for sample ro

Purpose: Complications from diabetes mellitus can occur over time and although glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a good biomarker for glycaemic control, other factors also contribute to the development of complications in type 1 diabetes. More markers able to identify the risk of complications are needed. This study aimed to investigate plasma levels of FGF21, Cystatin C, lipocalin-2, and MMP-9 i

A cell’s ability to sense and respond to mechanical cues from its extracellular environment is essential for maintaining the health of itself and its organism. The mechanical cues a cell encounters include physical forces such as shear, tensile, and compressive forces, as well as cues arising from the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as stiffness or composition. Throug

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) contribute to the progression of lung cancer. Four and a half LIM domain protein-2 (FHL2) is a component of focal adhesion structures. We analyzed the function of FHL2 expressed by CAFs in lung adenocarcinoma. Expression of FHL2 in fibroblast subtypes was investigated using database of single-cell RNA-sequencing of lung cancer tissue. The role of FHL2 in the pr

Clinical mental health researchers may understandably struggle with how to incorporate biological assessments in clinical research. The options are numerous and are described in a vast and complex body of literature. Here we provide guidelines to assist mental health researchers seeking to include biological measures in their studies. Apart from a focus on behavioral outcomes as measured via inter

The design of supramolecular hydrogels comprising aligned domains is important for the fabrication of biomimetic materials and applications in optoelectronics. One way to access such materials is by the self-assembly of small molecules into long fibres, which can be aligned using an external stimulus. Out-of-equilibrium supramolecular gels can also be designed, where pre-programmed changes of stat

Cell death plays a pivotal role in many physiological processes, such as cell homeostasis, embryonic development, immune defence and in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases, such as cancer, infections and degenerative diseases. However, the lack of a comprehensive and up-to-date resource on cell death regulators poses a significant challenge to researchers in the field. Existing databases are of

Archived radar data has various applications, though it is often underutilised. Nevertheless, this information has the possibility to aid in the development of accurate and relevant climate adaptation tools, inform climate-resilient urban development strategies, and numerous other personal and societal applications. Our work in the RadClim Baltic Sea Region (BSR) project established the potential
