Introduction: Grey pea is a largely overlooked legume in the Nordic countries, and its potential uses in various food products remain unexplored. It is a nutrient-rich crop with low environmental impact, making it an attractive option for sustainable and nutritious plant-based alternatives. Objectives: To investigate the impact of dehulling, germination, and fermentation on the bioactive (poly

The entanglement of domestic and geopolitical dynamics with the evolution of the aid strategies of the Gulf States is particularly evident in the Horn of Africa (HOA), where the regional competition for exercising influence has affected the modalities of humanitarian and development interventions. A comparison of the foreign aid given by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Sudan in the con

Objective. Despite the growing interest in understanding the role of triggers of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), solutions beyond questionnaires to identify a broader range of triggers remain lacking. This study aims to investigate the relation between triggers detected in wearable-based physiological signals and the occurrence of AF episodes. Approach. Week-long physiological signals were co

Neovascularization is implicated in the pathology of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which are the leading causes of blindness worldwide. In our work, we analyzed how heme released during hemorrhage affects hypoxic response and neovascularization. Our retrospective clinical analysis demonstrated, that hemorrhage was associate

This paper investigates the factors affecting evacuation behaviour of tourists in wildfire scenarios by conducting a scoping review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis approach - here using only its extension for scoping reviews. A total of 524 scientific papers were identified in the Web of Science and Scopus and 23 studies were fully reviewed. Key variabl

Two-dimensional neuronal cultures have a limited ability to recapitulate the in vivo environment of the brain. Here, we introduce a three-dimensional in vitro model for human glia-to-neuron conversion, surpassing the spatial and temporal constrains of two-dimensional cultures. Focused on direct conversion to induced dopamine neurons (iDANs) relevant to Parkinson disease, the model generates functi

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by the aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau in the brain. Breakthroughs in disease-modifying treatments targeting Aβ bring new hope for the management of AD. But to effectively modify and someday even prevent AD, a better understanding is needed of the biological mechanisms that underlie and link Aβ and tau

Om Klostergatans betydelse som offentlig arena, mötes-, umgänges- och uppvisningsplats i Lund, särskilt bland stadens studenter, från sent 1800-tal till mitten av 1900-talet. Med exempel ur memoarer, skönlitteratur och samtida press.

Tio personporträtt av mer eller mindre bortglömda lundaakademiker - studenter och lärare - verksamma mellan 1600-talet och 1900-talets första hälft.

EU law has developed with close ties to economic growth, and relatedly, various scholars have historically expressed critiques which would today be considered part of the Law and Political Economy approach. What is starkly absent from the relevant critiques is the way in which EU law regulates the migration phenomenon and its relation to the market. Migration law scholarship has been focusing on t

Introducing angled arene units or short flexible alkyl segments into rigid aromatic hetero-atom-free polymer backbones is an efficient strategy to improve the performance of anion exchange membranes (AEM)s. So far, only very few monomers have been presented that increase backbone flexibility in polymers prepared by polyhydroxyalkylations, often with limited reactivity and polymerizability. Here, w

Microplastics (MP) have emerged as significant global pollutants, garnering considerable attention from both the scientific community and the public. The significance of microplastic research lies in its capacity to inform effective pollution control strategies and mitigate associated environmental and health risks. The review illuminated the complexities and challenges inherent in analyzing micro

Heavy metal (HM) pollution remains a pressing global concern, affecting soil regarding food safety, and negatively influencing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We investigated the efficacy of untreated cypress biochar (UCB) and Ca-modified cypress biochar (MCB) in mitigating HM contamination and enhancing growth across native and contaminated soils (40 mg/kg) in carrot pot experiments.

Groundwater is becoming increasingly important as surface water is decreasing and becoming more and more polluted. In particular, rural areas in the arid region of Central Asia face problems with both water quantity and quality. In view of this, we investigated the drinking water quality in the Maysky district in the Pavlodar region, Kazakhstan. The organoleptic properties, together with microbiol

Study region: The NekooAbad Irrigation District in central Iran faces challenges due to inefficient surface water distribution. 82 million m3 of groundwater is extracted annually from 15,000 tube-wells, leading to decreased groundwater levels and increased energy consumption of 234 million kWh per year. Study focus: This study explores implementing automation in surface water distribution to reduc

As video and computer games get increasingly more advanced, the immersive experience for the player of these games also follows this trajectory. In these games, one aspect that has been explored to the greatest extent is that of choice and player agency. Often, these choices and acts are of a moral character, whether it be choosing what to do on an ambiguously formulated questline with multiple br

Det tog många år innan Svenska kyrkan på nationell nivå kunde redovisa statistik om delar av församlingarnas diakonala arbete. Införandet av diakonistatistik har mött motstånd, men flera aktörer samlar också egen statistik vid sidan av den nationella verksamhetsstatistiken.
