Ecological barriers mediate spatiotemporal shifts of bird communities at a continental scale

Species’ range shifts and local extinctions caused by climate change lead to community composition changes. At large spatial scales, ecological barriers, such as biome boundaries, coastlines, and elevation, can influence a community's ability to shift in response to climate change. Yet, ecological barriers are rarely considered in climate change studies, potentially hindering predictions of biodiv

From shadows to light: The role of latent networks in mainstreaming solar PV practices

Practice theories have generated interest in sustainability transitions research as a means to study shared expectations, conventions and routines that maintain unsustainable consumption within the dominant regime. However, collective action to change practices, which is crucial for innovation, is seldom examined in practice theory research. This article applies practice theories to conceptualize

Co-creating holistic injury prevention training for youth handball: Development of an intervention targeting end-users at the individual, team, and organizational levels.

BackgroundInterventions that are co-created with end-users, and that are informed by behavior change or implementation theories, support implementation in real world settings. However, injury prevention programs for youth athletes have typically been developed by experts with no, or insufficiently described, end-user involvement and without guidance by theories. The aim of the current study was to

Machine Learning Models for Prediction of Diabetic Microvascular Complications

IMPORTANCE AND AIMS: Diabetic microvascular complications significantly impact morbidity and mortality. This review focuses on machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) in predicting diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and diabetic neuropathy (DN).METHODS: A comprehensive PubMed search from 1990 to 2023 identified studies on ML/AI models for diabetic microvascular comp

An Operatic Game-Changer : The Opera Maker as Game Designer and the Potentials of Ludo-Immersive Opera

How can live-performed chamber operas be conceptualized as immersive games with interactive features? This artistic study has resulted in a system model through which degrees of immersion may be generated and analyzed from physical, social, and psychical stimuli. A differentiation of immersive modes has been made possible by the framing of opera-making as game design. The findings indicate that so

Unfinished Business

How can microsocial rituals connected to a specific site be used as interaction templates for artistic purposes? And how can we distort such rituals artistically in order to make them memorable events? As artists, we regard distortion as the process that gives character and distinction to things and situations, as well as something that confuses and enriches information and interpretation. Through

Changes in alpha, theta, and gamma oscillations in distinct cortical areas are associated with altered acute pain responses in chronic low back pain patients.

Introduction: Chronic pain negatively impacts a range of sensory and affective behaviors. Previous studies have shown that the presence of chronic pain not only causes hypersensitivity at the site of injury but may also be associated with pain-aversive experiences at anatomically unrelated sites. While animal studies have indicated that the cingulate and prefrontal cortices are involved in this ge

The Artificial Lyricist : Prototyping an Interactive Opera for Humans and Machines

To probe into the artistic possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generating operatic elements, we have engaged in a practice-led inquiry as designers and artists. We took the process of prototyping a chamber opera with interactive features as our starting point, exploring how AI could work as a source of stimuli in opera productions, and how prototyping might add to the design and evaluati

Why nature matters : A systematic review of intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values

In this article, we present results from a literature review of intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values of nature conducted for the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, as part of the Methodological Assessment of the Diverse Values and Valuations of Nature. We identify the most frequently recurring meanings in the heterogeneous use of different v

Finding the dispersing siblings of young open clusters : Dynamical traceback simulations using Gaia DR3

Context. Stars tend to form in clusters, but many escape their birth clusters very early. Identifying the escaped members of clusters can inform us about the dissolution of star clusters, but also about the stellar dynamics in the galaxy. Methods capable of finding escaped stars from many clusters are required to fully exploit the large amounts of data in the Gaia era. Aims. We present a new metho

Quantum dot source-drain transport response at microwave frequencies

Quantum dots are frequently used as charge-sensitive devices in low-temperature experiments to probe electric charge in mesoscopic conductors where the current running through the quantum dot is modulated by the nearby charge environment. Recent experiments have operated these detectors using reflectometry measurements up to gigahertz frequencies rather than probing the low-frequency current throu

Planned Misery of the Children in Al-Hol : Distancing as Bar to Rights and Consular Protection

Why are Western governments not retrieving detained minor nationals from Al-Hol’s purgatory-like conditions? This article shows, under international human rights law, that the status of detained children as rights bearers is uncontroversial, as is their right to positive protection. We raise issues from recent debate on the securitisation of geopolitics in the relationship between the Middle East

Sheep Ahoy : Exploring sheep management and its role in Viking Age economy through multiproxy analyses at Löddeköpinge, Sweden

Sheep and their wool were paramount to Viking Age economies. The importance of wool cannot be underestimated, especially as the woollen sail was implemented on ships in general during this period. This paper investigates sheep management and landscape use in Viking Age Löddeköpinge in Scania, southern Sweden, through a multiproxy approach, integrating multi-isotope methods with zooarchaeological a

Hur ange objektet vid fastighetsöverlåtelse? : Vad följer av formkravet och hur ska det tolkas? En diskussion i ljuset av rekvisit och några domstolsavgöranden

Vad är det som överlåts vid en transaktion avseende fast egendom? Ofta vållarden frågan inte några svårigheter att besvara och innebörden framgår vanligtvis tydligt av såväl köpeavtal som köpebrev. Men vad gäller i det fall parternainte tillräckligt tydligt har formulerat köpeobjektet i avtalet, om parterna inte äröverens om vad som ingår i överlåtelsen eller om formuleringarna ser olika ut iköpea

LGR5 Expression Predicting Poor Prognosis Is Negatively Correlated with WNT5A in Colon Cancer

WNT/β-catenin signaling is essential for colon cancer development and progression. WNT5A (ligand of non-canonical WNT signaling) and its mimicking peptide Foxy5 impair β-catenin signaling in colon cancer cells via unknown mechanisms. Therefore, we investigated whether and how WNT5A signaling affects two promoters of β-catenin signaling: the LGR5 receptor and its ligand RSPO3, as well as β-catenin
