The pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons produced in Au+Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sNN = 200 GeV is measured using data collected by the sPHENIX detector. Charged hadron yields are extracted by counting cluster pairs in the inner and outer layers of the Intermediate Silicon Tracker, with corrections applied for detector acceptance, reconstruction efficiency, combinatoria
There is limited research examining the perspectives on the use of genetic testing in psychiatric care among individuals of non-European ancestry. Adults with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) of Latin American ancestry (n = 1,513) completed a survey assessing their interest in receiving genetic testing for OCD, their level of comfort with disclosing this information, views on the use of genetic
Background: Precision prevention involves tailoring interventions to the unique characteristics of a group or individual to maximize their effectiveness. In this study, we examined the role of participant characteristics in the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions to optimize gestational weight gain (GWG). Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, and PubMed, from inception up to March 2025, to id
Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) ponds are widely used to enhance groundwater, but efficiency is limited by uncertain infiltration pathways, heterogeneous sediments, and surface clogging. Understanding infiltration responses to variable inflow and evolving subsurface conditions is essential for optimizing pond performance. This study applied an automated multielectrode Direct Current Resistivity and
Music education research in Sweden and across the Nordic countries has investigated questions of cultural diversity in music education for several decades. Greater cultural diversity in music education has also been a longstanding curricular goal. While interest in broadening cultural diversity in music education has been high, the extent to which these aspirations have impacted singing repertoire
Background Completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is often recommended for patients with isolated tumour cells (ITCs) or micrometastases in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) or target lymph node (TLN) to assess the definite nodal tumour burden after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The aim of this study was to investigate the upgrade of N stage by cALND in patients with low-volume metastase
In epidemiological studies, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and bi-directional summary-level Mendelian randomization (
Debates about spatial inequality and rural discontent often invoke cutbacks of the public sector as a key factor in explaining political and social divides. Covering the period from 1993 to 2023, we use register-based employment data and citizen surveys to study public employment, as well as trust in and satisfaction with public services across five types of municipalities, ranging from metropolit
Illumination of dairy barns impacts animal health, milk production, and building energy efficiency. The aim of this study was to assess the existing daylighting and electric lighting conditions of dairy barns located in Southern Sweden. The study specifically examined how different architectural features impact the lighting environment, aiming to identify retrofit potentials in older barns and are
The first measurement at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) of the production yield of the strange-charm baryons and as a function of transverse momentum (pT) in different charged-particle multiplicity classes in proton-proton collisions at TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC is reported. The baryon is reconstructed via the decay channel in the range 4 < pT< 12 GeV/c, while the baryon is reconstructed v
This study examines the ateljé system as a studio-based teaching model used in the first two years of architectural education at Lund University between 2012 and 2022. Based on teaching material, student work, course structures, and the author’s experience, it analyses how learning develops through iterative design work, continuous feedback, and interaction between students.The study shows how con
This paper reports measurements of the transverse energy per unit pseudorapidity (dET/dη) produced in Au+Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV, performed with the sPHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The results cover the pseudorapidity range |η| < 1.1 and constitute the first such measurement performed using a hadronic calorimeter at RHIC. Measurements of dET/dη are presented
The first measurement of the e+e− pair production at midrapidity and low invariant mass in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The yield of e+e− pairs is compared with a cocktail of expected hadronic decay contributions in the invariant mass (mee) and pair transverse momentum (pT,ee) ranges mee < 3.5 GeV/c2 and pT,ee < 8 GeV/c. For 0.18 < mee < 0.
We present the first forward-rapidity measurements of elliptic anisotropy of open-heavy-flavor muons at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The measurements are based on data samples of Au + Au collisions at √ sNN = 200GeV collected by the PHENIX experiment in 2014 and 2016 with integrated luminosity of 14.5nb−1. The measurements are performed in the pseudorapidity range 1.2 < |η| < 2 and cover t
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
