The integration of coastal dunes planted with vegetation and dikes combines traditional infrastructure with dynamic aeolian sediment and ecological processes to enhance coastal resilience. The functioning of such dune-dike hybrid Nature-based Solution strongly depends on aeolian sediment transport and the vertical growth rate of vegetation. We used the AeoLiS numerical model to investigate the rel
Purpose: Understanding how early adaptive schemas, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation influence eating disorder (ED) symptoms, and whether this differs across diagnostic subtypes is critical to optimising treatment. The current study investigated the relationship between these variables and ED symptomology in individuals self-reporting an ED diagnosis and healthy controls. Methods: A
In organic solar cells (OSCs), comprehending the charge transfer mechanism at D/A interfaces is crucial for photoinduced charge generation and enhancing power conversion efficiency (PCE). The charge transfer mechanism and photovoltaic performance of the parallel stacking interface configuration of the PTQ10 polymer donor and T2EH non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) are systematically studied at the micro
Ocean gyres are modelled by the two-dimensional vorticity equation for inviscid flow on a rotating sphere, since their flow is governed by the tangential velocity components, whereas the vertical velocity component is negligible. From the vorticity equation we derive nonlinear elliptic equations for the square of the meridional velocity component as well as for the azimuthal velocity component. Us
Over 100 diseases have been recognized as autoimmune in nature, collectively affecting ∼20 % of the population in industrialized countries. These conditions are more prevalent among women of childbearing age, reflecting the potential association between alterations in the immune-neuroendocrine network, on the one hand, and autoimmune conditions, on the other. Prolactin (PRL), a polypeptide hormone

Detailing how the cosmological environment surrounding a galaxy (large-scale structure) influences the local star-forming regions (small-scale structure) in the galaxy, and viceversa, remains an open question in the field of galaxy formation and evolution. Observations of massive star-forming galactic discs at extremely high redshifts have made this problem all the more pressing, putting current s
’Screen time’ has become a catch-all concept for debates on people’s dependence of digital devices in general, and children’s use of media technology in particular, almost exclusively focusing on negative consequences. While children and young people more often than not are at the center of debates around screen time, parents and their everyday practices are held accountable for monitoring, regula
This chapter examines the evolution of social class segregation in the city of Landskrona during the twentieth century. The city’s population was initially spatially mixed with regards to social class but became more segregated with industrialization. The study reveals that the segregation of higher white-collar workers increased drastically from 1940 to 1960, with a concentration of this group in
This chapter is organised into a series of sections that will explain many conceptual and practical aspects of territorial imbalances. After an introductory Section 1, Section 2 will examine the importance of the territorial perspective in socio-economic analyses, both for interpreting their spatial characteristics and for guiding decision-making. Section 3 will explain the terms for debate on ter
The handover (HO) procedure is one of the most critical functions in a cellular network driven by measurements of the user channel of the serving and neighboring cells. The success rate of the entire HO procedure is significantly affected by the preparation stage. As massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems with large antenna arrays allow resolving finer details of channel behavior, w
The study of addressing socio-environmental challenges through sustainability transitions inherently considers the future in various ways, although these considerations are often only implicit. In this essay, we argue that it is crucial to engage more explicitly in understanding how imagined futures are enacted and comprehended within research on sustainability transitions. This endeavour is neces
Flood risk mitigation requires collaborative governance that involves many and diverse actors. The capacity of municipal administrations to anticipate and adapt plays a crucial role in addressing flood risk in the Nordic region. However, although flood risk often spans boundaries, each organisation's governance capacity depends largely on the formation of collaborative ties among involved politici
Structural characterization of protein-ligand binding interfaces at atomic resolution is essential for improving the design of specific and potent inhibitors. Herein, we explored fast 19F- and 1H-detected magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy to investigate the interaction between two fluorinated ligand diastereomers with the microcrystalline galectin-3 carbohydrate recognition domain. The detaile
BACKGROUND: After combat-related lower extremity amputations, patients rapidly lose bone mineral density (BMD). As serial dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans are rarely performed in this setting, it is difficult to determine the timeline for bone loss and recovery or the role of interventions. However, a strong correlation has been demonstrated between DXA BMD and computed tomography (CT) signal
