Group III-V semiconductor nanowires are a material platform with potential applications in electronics,photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices. One of the central challenges in the growth of III-V semiconductornanowires is to understand the dynamic processes that occur during crystallization. However, the growth of thesematerials is commonly performed in closed systems. There the details of the g

Germline mutations are the ultimate source of genetic diversity, and germline mutation rate is central to evolutionary biology. However, while germline mutations primarily arise during DNA replication in the parental germline and should accumulate with increasing parental age, studies showed that germline mutation rate does not necessarily track germ cell divisions. This suggests that germline mut

Germline mutations (GMs) are the ultimate source of genetic diversity, and germline mutation rate (GMR) isthus central to evolutionary biology. However, while GMs primarily arise during DNA replication in the parentalgermline and should accumulate with increasing parental age, studies showed that GMR does not necessarilytrack germ cell divisions. This suggests that GMR is subjected to selection an

Periodic dredging of harbors and other waterways is carried out to ensure suffi-cient depth for navigation. The Stabilization/Solidification method (S/S) is theglobal approach for improving the geotechnical characteristics and stabilizingpollutions in the low-compressive-strength dredged sediment (DS) for land rec-lamation. For this, different binders, such as cement, fly ash, and slag, are mixedw

This article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s. Both labourers and farmers improved their material living standards – as measured by the contents of probate inventories – but the labouring households’ ownership of means of production decreased over timeThis article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s.

Achieving sustainable water resource utilization requires a holistic management approach that recognizes the knowledge and values of different stakeholders through a comprehensive participation approach. This study evaluates the indigenous knowledge and technologies employed in watershed management by analyzing qualitative and quantitative data from six villages in the Mara River Basin area. Data

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of everyday leisure travel for social and recreational trip purposes by describing and problematising car use for such trips. Leisure trips are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and reductions are needed to mitigate climate change. Technical solutions, such as electric vehicles, contribute but research has demonstrate

The Loess Plateau is one of the most severely affected regions in China by soil erosion, where vegetation restoration is the principal strategy for soil and water conservation. Runoff and sediment reduction benefits (RRB and SRB) are key indicators used to evaluate the effectiveness of vegetation measures. While numerous observational and experimental studies have explored the effects of different

This roadmap, developed through collaborative discussions at the recent AI PolicyResearch Summit, reflects a shared vision for advancing research on responsibleAI policy and governance. It emphasizes the critical role of policy research inensuring that AI development is guided by robust evidence, ethicalconsiderations, and a commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. By prioritizingtransparency

After nearly a century in which electric lighting has dominated interior building design, there is now a shift back to using daylight as the primary ambient light source. This return is driven by considerations of energy efficiency, environmental impact, and human health. Effective daylighting in building interiors not only supports low energy consumption, but also has the potential to reconnect p

BACKGROUND: SLE is associated with significant morbidity, especially in the case of renal involvement. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in SLE and may be assessed by measuring mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and cytokines reflecting mitochondrial stress (mitokines). Circulating mtDNA is a promising biomarker in SLE and appears to be reduced in severe SLE. However, measuring circulating

Background: Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality. Although antenatal care can identify women at risk, limited research has explored women's experiences with preeclampsia despite itssignificant impact.Aim: This thesis aims to enhance the understanding of women's experiences with preeclampsia in order toimprove clinical care, support, and mental health outcomes.
