The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured low-mass vector-meson (ω + ρ and φ) production through the dimuon decay channel at forward rapidity (1.2 < |y| < 2.2) in p + p and Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The low-mass vector-meson yield and nuclear-modification factor were measured as a function of the average number of participating nucleons, ‹Npart›, and the
Introduction: Treatment strategies for endometriosis have traditionally been biomedical. There is a need for a more multidimensional understanding of endometriosis and more targeted and individualized treatment interventions, including psychological approaches. Methods: The aims of this study were twofold: (1) to identify key biopsychosocial characteristics in individuals attending a tertiary clin
Background Sweden’s National Strategy for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) emphasises equitable access to contraception and abortion services. Despite this, immigrant women in Sweden experience lower contraceptive use and higher rates of unintended pregnancies and abortions compared with native-born women. Midwives, as primary providers of contraceptive counselling and prescribing,
Reference pollen data for use in interpreting fossil pollen assemblages may be either collected as surface samples or monitored by means of pollen traps. Surface samples can be obtained from moss polsters or lake-surface sediment, or exceptionally soil, leaf litter, or snow. The advantage of such samples is that a large number can be collected relatively quickly. Within the resulting pollen assemb
The first measurement of prompt D*+-meson spin alignment in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions with respect to the direction orthogonal to the reaction plane is presented. The spin alignment is quantified by measuring the element ρ00 of the diagonal spin-density matrix for prompt D*+ mesons with 4 < pT< 30 GeV/c in two rapidity intervals, |y| < 0.3 and 0.3 < |y| < 0.8, in central (0–10%) and m
The intrinsically disordered MYC proteins are master regulators of cellular growth and function, but when deregulated they become cancer drivers. MYC-protein interactions are key to oncogenesis, and while disrupting such interactions would be of significant therapeutic benefit, the intrinsically disordered properties of MYC have dramatically hampered their characterization. Here, we apply an integ
X-rays are commonly used in imaging experiments due to their penetration power, which enables non-destructive resolution of internal structures in samples that are opaque to visible light. Time-resolved X-ray tomography is the state-of-the-art method for obtaining volumetric 4D (3D + time) information by rotating the sample and acquiring projections from different angular viewpoints over time. Thi

Short-range correlations between charged particles are studied via two-particle angular correlations in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV. The correlation functions are measured as a function of the relative azimuthal angle ∆φ and the pseudorapidity separation ∆η for pairs of primary charged particles within the pseudorapidity interval |η| < 0.9 and the transverse-momentum range 1 < pT< 8 GeV/c. Near-s
Denna avhandling undersöker styrningen av koldioxidavskiljning och -lagring (CCS) i den nuvarande fasen av policydriven implementering inom europeisk klimatpolitik. Min forskning placeras i mellan etablerad kritik av CCS och dess framväxande, centrala roll i bindande nettonollstrategier. Jag intar en kritiskt pragmatisk hållning som erkänner att CCS är en omtvistad teknik som innebär risker för inThis thesis examines the governance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in its current phase of policy-driven deployment within European climate policy. Positioned in the gap between established critique of CCS and its newly central role in binding net-zero strategies, my research adopts a critical-pragmatic stance to acknowledge that CCS is a contentious technology embodying risks of c
Almost 200 years after their inception, news beats became a dominant factor that shapes newsrooms. This study explores the beat mix of leading quality dailies in 13 countries. Findings are based on executive interviews triangulated with other data sources. They indicate a shift from geographic to thematic division of labour and the rising trend of beat sub-specialisation. Newsroom size matters but
This Letter presents measurements of long-range transverse-momentum correlations using a new observable, v0(pT), serving as a probe of event-by-event radial-flow fluctuations, the underlying radial expansion, and the medium's properties in heavy-ion collisions. Results are reported for inclusive charged particles, pions, kaons, and protons across various centrality intervals in Pb-Pb collisions at
Electrospinning is a versatile technique for manufacturing micro-nano diameter fibers and has been used extensively for tissue engineering in vivo and advanced cell culture in vitro. Standard means of seeding cells onto such substrates typically offer no control over cell distribution, yielding dispersed, heterogeneous and low concentrations of cells. In this article, we investigate the viability
Background: Severe COVID-19 frequently involves multi-organ dysfunction, including acute kidney injury (AKI), which affects up to 85% of critically ill patients. While both direct viral infection and systemic effects are implicated, the role of renal microthrombosis remains poorly defined in COVID-19 and AKI. Angiopoietin-2, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and cleaved thrombomodulin is elevated in pl
High-energy hadronic collisions generate environments characterized by temperatures above 100 MeV (refs. 1,2), about 100,000 times hotter than the centre of the Sun. At present, it is therefore unclear how light (anti)nuclei with mass number A of a few units, such as the deuteron, 3He or 4He, each bound by only a few MeV, can emerge from these collisions3,4. Here, the ALICE Collaboration reports t
Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions produce a state of hot and dense strongly interacting QCD matter called quark-gluon plasma (QGP). On an event-by-event basis, the volume of the QGP in ultracentral collisions is mostly constant, while its total entropy can vary significantly due to quantum fluctuations, leading to variations in the temperature of the system. Exploiting this unique feature of
