This study investigates how the brain encodes episodic events to support diverse memory functions. Thirty-six participants viewed movies simulating real-life interactions while EEG was recorded. They first watched movies featuring two characters (AB), followed by scenes where one original character interacted with a new one (BC). Memory was assessed for direct (AB and BC), indirect (AC) associatio

Having a child with a disability undoubtedly affects parents in many ways, including their well-being. However, the specific mental health trajectories of parents, differentiated by the severity of impairments and parental roles, remain under-explored. We investigate the mental-health effects of having a child with a disability. Using individual-level register data from Sweden, we exploit the epid

J. S. Wilson proved in 1971 an isomorphism between the structural lattice associated to a group belonging to his second class of groups with every proper quotient finite and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of Cantor’s ternary set. In this paper we generalize this isomorphism to the class of branch groups. Moreover, we show that for every faithful branch action of a group G on a spherically h

Being the most common of the upper extremity fractures, the distal radius fracture rightfully earns its attraction. In a global population rapidly growing older, the number of patients with a distal radius fracture will increase. Innovative devices have been developed in the last few decades to restore the anatomy. The well-trained surgeon has all the options to fix the majority of fractures in an

Topology optimization is a mathematical tool for the computational design of structures,particularly valuable in the early stages of the design process. Gradient-basedoptimization methods, combined with finite element analysis, form the foundation ofan iterative procedure where the design is continuously updated and evaluated. To expandthe applicability of topology optimization, this thesis explor

Esophageal lesions are common findings in disorders of the digestive tract in patients living with HIV, the most typical symptoms being odynophagia and/or dysphagia. This article provides a narrative review of the spectrum of esophagitis in patients living with HIV, focusing on fungal, viral, bacterial and non-infectious etiologies, as well as co-infections with viral hepatitis viruses. The articl

Introduction: The healthcare sector is globally experiencing increasing demands and workplace interventions on an organisational level is sought to create healthy workplaces. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of Nordic research on the work environment and health of healthcare professionals, with a focus on identifying organisational-level risk and health-promoting factors. Methods:

The biometrics, age ratio and timing of migration of Robins were compared during autumn migration at an inland and a coastal site 200 km apart. The proportion of adult birds was higher at the inland site. The time of peak of migration differed between the two sites by 9 days. The daily distribution showed that at the coastal site the birds made a land‐fall at dawn, while at the inland site the mig

In electric passenger vehicles with modest performance the drivetrain usually consists of one inverter, one electrical machine and a single-speed transmission. The inverter is typically a two-level inverter using either Si IGBT transistors with an anti-parallel Si diode, or a SiC MOSFET transistor with or without an anti-parallel diode. The benefits of selecting SiC MOSFET as semiconductor technol

A migratory divide is a narrow region in which two populations showing different migratory directions meet and presumably also mate and hybridize. Banding of willow warblers, Phylloscopus trochilus, in Europe has demonstrated a migratory divide latitudinally across central Scandinavia. In autumn, southern birds migrate southwest to tropical West Africa, whereas northern birds migrate southeast to

Bodypainting is widespread in African, Australian and Papua New Guinean indigenous communities. Many bodypaintings use white or bright yellow/grey/beige stripes on brown skin. Where the majority of people using bodypainting presently live, blood-sucking horseflies are abundant, and they frequently attack the naked brown regions of the human body surface with the risk of transmitting the pathogens

The orientation of four different species of nocturnal passerine migrants was investigated in spring and autumn by orientation‐cage experiments at dusk, night, and dawn under natural clear skies. Our objective was to examine the orientation behaviour at different periods of a nocturnal migration flight, and to relate the orientation to visual orientation cues (the position of the sun). In robins,

Birds have evolved a mobile lifestyle in which vision is of major importance when controlling movements, avoiding predators, finding food and selecting mates. Birds have extraordinary colour vision and have been suggested to perceive the linear polarisation of light. Behavioural experiments support this idea, but still the exact physiological mechanism involved is not known. The twilight period, w

This study examines how sustainability experts at municipal and regional levels in Skåne perceive the climate crisis, their vision of the future, and the obstacles to climate adaptation. By analyzing the environmental discourses expressed in interviews, the study provides insight into strategies for addressing climate challenges and structural barriers affecting the transition. The results show th

Introduction. We aimed to investigate effects of soil pH and phosphate availability on bryophyte species in unshaded dry–mesic habitats, and to explore their implications for bioindication and conservation.Methods. Species abundance, pH and water-soluble phosphate data were collected from 1098 relevés in southernmost Sweden. Soil variable effects on 95 bryophyte taxa and species richness were eval

Jordbrukslandskapet är en viktig livsmiljö för ungefär hälften av Europas växter och djur. Bevarande av biologisk mångfald i odlingslandskapet innebär bland annat att viktiga ekosystemtjänsterär bibehålls. Pollinerande insekter och naturliga fiender till skadegörare är exempel på organismer som utgör en betydande resurs i jordbruket av stor ekonomisk betydelse. Kunskap om hur jordbruksåtgärder, ti
