Aim: To evaluate (1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule, (2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and (3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size. Location: North and South America; Europe and Africa. Taxon: Eastern whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus), Co
Wind turbines are important for achieving renewable energy goals, but present a considerable threat to wildlife, especially birds and bats. This study reports 41 confirmed collisions of GPS-tracked Red Kites (Milvus milvus) with wind turbines across Europe (2017–2024). We compared environmental and turbine-specific factors during collisions and non-collision movements within 500 m of turbines. Col
The turn of the twentieth century was a period of rapid decline in infant- and child mortality and a time of industrialization and urbanization in Sweden. It was also a period of growing social disparities in childhood mortality. The inequality in child survival was connected to a range of factors, including access to water- and sanitation, housing conditions, infant care, and possibly nutrition.
Sepsis remains a major clinical challenge due to the limited efficacy of existing therapies in controlling excessive inflammation. The engineered stapled peptide sHVF18, derived from an evolutionarily conserved thrombin innate fold, binds both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the LPS-binding groove of CD14, enabling dual targeting of bacterial components and host immune signaling. To define structural
This study explores systemic barriers and enablers of post-growth food enterprises in Australia. We analyse three different case studies that offer alternative models of entrepreneurial approaches for achieving sustainability outcomes as a higher priority than economic growth. We identified three post-growth food enterprises that operate at different stages of the food supply chain. We found that
Risken är överhängande att folkmordet på palestinierna sprids till Västbanken. Våldet har ökat och hela området riskerar att annekteras av Israel, skriver Helena Lindholm och Nina Gren.
Microbial contamination in coastal environments and groundwater is explored within this thesis, focusing onfecal contamination from anthropogenic sources and microbial community dynamics. The spread andpersistence of microbial contaminants in complex aquatic environments with multiple intermittent and pointsources of contamination, was studied in order to lay a groundwork for developing more robus
In this article, we examine how the death of an author affects the value negotiation surrounding his or her oeuvre. As Barbara Herrnstein Smith has argued, literary value is not a fixed category but rather something that is created and negotiated in relation to various contexts and settings. For a high evaluation of the oeuvre of a given author – or a particular work – to be maintained, this value
In this article, we analyze the reception of the AI-generated poetry collection Ammaseus horisont: AI tolkar Karin Boye (2020) and discuss the more general debate about AI-generated literature in the Swedish press since November 2022, when OpenAI made ChatGPT available to the public. Specifically, we analyze the ways in which Swedish critics construct the literary value of Ammaseus horisont and un
A solo exhibition that surveys just over a decade of the practice of the American-Canadian artist Steve Kado, including his work in photography, printmaking, sculpture and sound.

Background: Systemic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLGCI), commonly assessed by biomarkers such as total leukocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP), is associated with cardiometabolic disease, and both are associated with diet and abdominal adiposity. The Paleolithic diet may reduce SLGCI by reducing abdominal adiposity and through direct effects on the i
IntroductionPancreatic cancer has a low survival. The aim of this study was to analyze the role of tumor location on perioperative outcome and survival.MethodData on all patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) identified in the Swedish National Pancreatic and Periampullary Cancer Registry 2010-2020 were included. Tumor locations in the head, body and tail were compared. A mu
BackgroundMonogenic insulin resistance (IR) includes lipodystrophy and disorders of insulin signalling. We sought to assess the effects of interventions in monogenic IR, stratified by genetic aetiology.MethodsSystematic review using PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase (1 January 1987 to 23 June 2021).

INTRODUCTION: Ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE) is a common disorder with many associated risk factors. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk factor, but less is known about metabolic risk factors in individuals without diabetes. Our study aimed to explore the association of body mass index (BMI) with UNE during long-term follow-up.METHOD: The population-based cohort study Malmö Diet and Cancer
INTRODUCTION: Flexible bronchoscopy is regarded as a safe examination and is commonly used in the diagnostic work-up for lung diseases, but is also important in pulmonary research. We aimed to investigate participants' experiences when undergoing bronchoscopy in a research setting.METHODS: Participants were recruited from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS). A subset from this coho
