While sought for over a century, the birth of the distinctive bucket-shaped ceramic technology on the Scandinavian Peninsula has been overshadowed by its enigmatic senescence or ‘death’ in the sixth century AD. This omnipresent Migration Period container was in use for two centuries, from the mid-fourth to the mid-sixth centuries AD, spreading quickly and widely from the western region to the east

Recently, mass spectrometry based peptidomics studies have proven useful in the identification of biomarkers and bioactive peptide-based therapeutics. Here, we present a dataset comprised of temporal wound fluid peptidomics data from highly defined porcine models. Wound fluids from porcine wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and uninfected controls, were sampled

Background: Racial differences in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) genomes have not yet been fully studied. We aimed to investigate transcriptomic, mutational, and clinical differences by race in a large multi-institutional cohort of men with mCRPC. Methods: Genomic and clinicopathologic data from four mCRPC tumor biopsy cohorts were obtained and aggregated. Gene set enrichm

Language anxiety (LA) is among the most researched emotions in language learning research. Mirroring the recent dynamic turn in the broader field, LA researchers are increasingly interested in the situation-specific and dynamic nature of anxiety (Elahi Shirvan & Taherian, 2021; MacIntyre, 2017). In practice, this must be accompanied by a movement towards methodologies sensitive to potential dy

We report the synthesis of bell-shaped Bi/Bi13S18Br2 metal/semiconductor heterostructures as a photocatalyst based on nontoxic and Earth-abundant elements. Their unique morphology arises from a multistep growth process, involving (1) the nucleation of Bi13S18Br2 nanorods, (2) the reduction of a metallic-Bi domain on their surface induced by N,N-didodecylmethylamine, and (3) the heterostructure acc

Spine Computed Tomography (SCT) is essential for identifying fractures, tumors and degenerative spine diseases, assisting medical practitioners in formulating an accurate diagnosis and treatment. One of the core element of SCT is reporting. The effectiveness of spine reporting is often limited by challenges such as an inadequate infrastructure and lack of experts. Automated SCT analysis has the po

The metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) dynamics of beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) growth using trimethylgallium (TMGa) and oxygen as precursors were investigated through both theoretical thermodynamic analysis and experimental validation in a horizontal low-pressure hot-wall reactor. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that high-purity β-Ga2O3 can be grown through the complete combustion of

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy disorder characterized by systemic endothelial damage that leads to long-term cardiovascular complications. The endothelial glycocalyx (EG) covers the luminal surface of endothelium playing a critical role in vascular homeostasis. In this study we aimed to evaluate EG thickness and blood pressure (BP) trends in women with a history of PE vs. normotensive pregnancy.

Denna rapport bygger på en genomgång av 289 kommuners och 21 regioners årsredovisningar (Gotland ingår i båda; bortfall en kommun) utifrån frågeställningen om hur förvaltningsberättelsens obligatoriska rubriker enligt RKR R15 Förvaltningsberättelse har implementerats i praxis, dels avseende förekomst och ordning, dels informationsinnehåll. Avseende de obligatoriska rubrikernas förekomst och ordnin

The Gaussian phase distribution approximation enables analysis of restricted diffusion encoded by general gradient waveforms but fails to account for the diffraction-like features that may occur for simple pore geometries. We investigate the range of validity of the approximation by random walk simulations of restricted diffusion in a cylinder using isotropic diffusion encoding sequences as well a

Several studies have reported that heterosexual women's preferences for male faces vary with hormonal fluctuations over the menstrual cycle and that women tend to prefer more masculine faces during ovulation or when not using hormonal contraceptives. While this has been tested using observational data, we provide the first double-blind randomized controlled study testing if oral contraceptives red

Background: Motor fluctuations are routinely documented using the Parkinson's disease (PD) home diary. However, the validity of this diary when compared to clinical observers is limited. Objective: This study disassembled the effects of nonmotor symptoms (NMS) on inter-method agreement between the PD home motor diary and clinical observers (outside validity criterion). Methods: A prospective obser

Many studies report on the association between 2D:4D, a putative marker for prenatal testosterone exposure, and economic preferences. However, most of these studies have limited sample sizes and test multiple hypotheses (without preregistration). In this study we mainly replicate the common specifications found in the literature for the association between the 2D:4D ratio and risk taking, the will

We study gender differences in altruism in a large random sample of the Swedish population using a standard dictator game. Beside a baseline treatment we implement a priming treatment where participants are reminded of their gender, and two treatments with known male and female counterpart respectively. We find suggestive evidence that women are more altruistic than men only in the priming treatme

A growing body of correlational studies suggests that sex hormones such as those contained in, or affected by, oral contraceptives (OCs) may impact economic behavior. However, despite widespread use of OCs among women in Western countries, little is known about their potential behavioral effects. The present study investigates whether OCs causally influence economic preferences. We randomly alloca
