Social mobility and fertility: Applying diagonal reference models in historical studies (Sweden, 1870–2015)

Theoretically there are good reasons to expect social mobility to have an effect on fertility. The problem is how to assess such an effect empirically, as social mobility is a function of both social origin and destination. This paper presents the Diagonal Reference Model (DRM) as a valuable historical method to study social mobility consequences. We use Swedish individual-level longitudinal data

Characterization of Non-Wide-Sense Stationarity for Distributed Massive MIMO Channels

Distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication is envisioned as one of the key paradigms of future MIMO systems. To investigate non-wide-sense stationarities (non-WSSs) in distributed massive MIMO channels, this paper first presents an indoor channel measurement campaign, where distributed arrays with a total of 128 elements were implemented. Then relying on the correlatio

Embellished Clothing in the Mesolithic Based on Finds from Two Cemeteries in Sweden

In two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 BCE, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments. These are perforated front teeth, mostly from red deer but also wild boar and in rare occasions from elk and aurochs. The tooth beads were in female graIn two late Mesolithic cemeteries, dated to about 5000 bce, at Skateholm, Scania in Sweden, some graves were found that contained clothing decorations, mainly in the form of tooth beads but also other animal parts that were used as embellishments.

The Biography of a Fragment : A Late Mesolithic Antler Object from the Strandvägen Site, South Central Sweden

When investigating a settlement dated to the late Mesolithic,c.5500 cal BC, at Strandvägen in south-central Sweden, an extensive assemblageof implements made of bone and antler was found. Among these finds was a richlydecorated antler piece, likely part of an antler axe. Originally it was equippedwith shallow ornamentation that was later removed and replaced by a seconddeeper motif of longitudinal

The fundamentals of eye tracking part 2 : From research question to operationalization

In this article, we discuss operationalizations and examples of experimental design in eye-tracking research. First, we distinguish direct operationalization for entities like saccades, which are closely aligned with their original concepts, and indirect operationalization for concepts not directly measurable, such as attention or mind-wandering. The latter relies on selecting a measurable proxy.

Unraveling the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes with a new selectively bred animal model, the Oikawa-Nagao mouse

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a polygenic disease, and the development of animal models by selective breeding is crucial for understanding its etiology, pathophysiology, complications, and treatments. We recently developed a new T2D model, the Oikawa-Nagao (ON) mouse, by selectively breeding mice with inferior glucose tolerance [diabetes-prone (ON mouse DP®; ON-DP) strain] and superior glucose toleranc

Digital technologies for water use and management in agriculture : recent applications and future outlook

This article provides a comprehensive overview of digital technologies for water use and management in agriculture, examining recent applications and future prospects. It examines key water-related challenges - scarcity, pollution, inefficient use and climate change - and shows how various digital technologies such as Remote Sensing, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, Big Data, Robot

Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Despite extensive research on the subject, early-stage diagnosis remains challenging. Histologically, normal endometriosis does not differ from the eutopic endometrium, shifting the focus of investigation to the molecular level.Objective: To assess the immunohistochemical markers ER, PGR, Ki-67, BCL-2, and MMP-9 in

Short-term outcomes from the 'Watch and Wait' (WoW) study : prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND: Despite absence of level 1 evidence on the long-term oncological safety of non-operative management for rectal cancer (watch and wait), increased implementation has occurred globally over the past decades. In Sweden, a pan-national prospective non-randomized study was initiated in 2017 to assess its implementation.METHOD: Patients with biopsy-proven rectal cancer receiving neoadjuvant

A Historical Reconstruction of the Changing Relationship Between Forests and People in Japan : A Case Study of Hirosaki Domain in the Nineteenth Century

This chapter explores the relationship between people and forests during Japan’s Tokuagwa period, focusing on Hirosaki domain in northern Honshu, known for its abundant hiba (thujopsis dolabrata) forests. Timber production thrived in the seventeenth century, but by the eighteenth century, resource depletion prompted forest management policies. The 1783 famine accelerated forest devastation, leadin

Continuum limit of the adaptive Kuramoto model

We investigate the dynamics of the adaptive Kuramoto model with slow adaptation in the continuum limit, N → ∞ . This model is distinguished by dense multistability, where multiple states coexist for the same system parameters. The underlying cause of this multistability is that some oscillators can lock at different phases or switch between locking and drifting depending on their initial condition

Reliability of nociceptive monitors vs. standard practice during general anesthesia : a prospective observational study

BACKGROUND: Inadequate or excessive nociceptive control during general anesthesia can result in significant adverse outcomes. Using traditional clinical variables, such as heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate, to assess and manage nociceptive responses is often insufficient and could lead to overtreatment with both anesthetics and opioids. This study evaluated the feasibility
