Based on ethnographic fieldwork among Iraqis in Sweden and Denmark, this paper examines diasporic narratives of hope that surrounded the removal of the Saddam Hussein regime in 2003 as well as the mass protests that swept Iraq in 2019, situating this hope against an overarching narrative of despair, expressed as a simultaneous sense of stuckedness and cyclical repetition. By approaching hope as a

Major advances have been made to study speciation through the lens of genomics, yet much remains to be understood about the processes of reproductive isolation and how different reproductive barriers evolve during species divergence. We conducted a comprehensive study to characterize reproductive isolation between two sympatric populations with both a recent evolutionary history and extensive phen

Importance: Recent efforts to clarify the structure of the genetic risks for psychiatric disorders have been limited to disorders with large molecular samples. These heterogeneous samples have typically been ascertained from diverse sources and use a widening range of diagnostic approaches including single-item self-reports. Objective: To assess the structure of genetic risk factors for 18 diverse

Soil organic nitrogen (SON) transformation is critical for global nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity, yet how its responsiveness to climate change differs across diverse land use types remains poorly resolved. We measured gross protein depolymerization (GPD), microbial N growth, gross N mineralization (GNM) and microbial N use efficiency (NUE) in paired forest and cropland soils along a b

Anxiety is a complex emotional state that unfolds as structured sequences of risk assessment and exploratory behaviors enabling animals to evaluate potential threats in the environment. The ventral hippocampus (vH) regulates anxiety responses, yet the neuronal substrates orchestrating specific ethologically defined anxiety-related behaviors remain unclear. Here, we combined high-resolution 3D beha

Aims: To assess progression of insulin deficiency and resistance in diabetes, the stability of cluster-based subgrouping, and the association between steatotic liver disease (SLD), liver fibrosis (LF), and tissue insulin resistance. Materials and Methods: Participants from a regional diabetes register were studied within 3 years from diagnosis and 2–10 years later with fasting laboratory tests (n

Microglia, the major immune cells of the brain, are functionally heterogeneous but in vivo functional properties of these cells are rarely studied at single-cell resolution. By using microRNA-9 regulated viral vectors for multicolor labeling and longitudinal in vivo monitoring of individual microglia, we followed their fate in the cortex of healthy adult mice and at the onset of amyloidosis in a m

Microglia arise from the yolk sac and enter the brain during early embryogenesis. Upon entry, microglia undergo in situ proliferation and eventually colonize the entire brain by the third postnatal week in mice. However, the intricacies of their developmental expansion remain unclear. Here, we characterize the proliferative dynamics of microglia during embryonic and postnatal development using com

One quarter of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who achieve a complete response following front-line therapy will eventually experience disease relapse. Existing prognostic models use baseline factors to predict outcomes from the start of initial therapy and are not intended for use following completion of treatment. We developed a conditional event-free survival (cEFS) tool tha
