The age-standardized prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has increased substantially over the years and is expected to increase further. This emphasizes the need to identify modifiable risk factors of PD, which could form a logical entry point for the prevention of PD. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended reducing exposure to specific environmental factors that have been reported

Introduction: Home oxygen therapy is one of the few interventions that can improve survival in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) when administered appropriately, although it may cause side effects and be an unnecessary burden for some patients. Areas covered: This narrative review summarizes the current literature on the assessment of hypoxemia, different types of home oxy

Since 2021, the DarkLab at Lund University (LU) and the Digital Research Service at the French National Institute of Art History (INHA) have collaborated to develop state-of-the-art digital systems and tools for the management and publication of archaeological data, including information from fieldwork and artefact collections. Drawing on the combined expertise of both institutions, this partnersh

Several processes studied by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider produce low-momentum Formula Presented-flavored hadrons in the final state. This paper describes the calibration of a dedicated tagging algorithm that identifies Formula Presented-flavored hadrons outside of hadronic jets by reconstructing the soft secondary vertices originating from their decays. The calibration is bas

AU The:information Pleaseconfirmthatallheadinglevelsarerepresentedcorrectly contained in population genomic data can tell : us much about the past ecology and evolution of species. We leveraged detailed phenotypic and genomic data of nearly all living kākāpō to understand the evolution of its feather color polymorphism. The kākāpō is an endangered and culturally significant parrot endemic to Aotea

Purpose: Prior research has proposed a number of scales measuring the customer experience (CX), which tend to conceptualize and operationalize CX differently, raising potential confusion among researchers (e.g. regarding which scale to use). Addressing this issue, this article conducts a systematic review to inventorize key CX scales and assess their theoretical rigor, with a focus on the identifi

Context. Hot and warm Jupiters might have undergone the same formation and evolution path, but the two populations exhibit different distributions of orbital parameters. This challenges our understanding of their actual origin. Aims. We report the results of our warm Jupiters survey, which was carried out with the CHIRON spectrograph within the KESPRINT collaboration. We addressed the question of

Since the introduction of the RUT tax deduction in 2007, the market for private domestic care services has grown rapidly in Sweden. Today, deductions can be made for cleaning and gardening, as well as for care services such as going for walks, providing companionship, assisting with dressing, and helping with personal hygiene. One main group that make use of the tax deduction are elderly over the

The pT-differential production cross sections of non-prompt D0, D+, and Ds+ mesons originating from beauty-hadron decays are measured in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s = 13 TeV. The measurements are performed at midrapidity, |y| < 0.5, with the data sample collected by ALICE from 2016 to 2018. The results are in agreement with predictions from several perturbative QCD calcul

A search is reported for long-lived dark photons with masses between 0.1 GeV and 15 GeV, from exotic decays of Higgs bosons produced via vector-boson-fusion. Events that contain displaced collimated Standard Model fermions reconstructed in the calorimeter or muon spectrometer are probed. This search uses the full LHC Run 2 (2015–2018) data sample collected in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV,

Fungi are one of the most diverse groups of organisms with an estimated number of species in the range of 2–3 million. The higher-level ranking of fungi has been discussed in the framework of molecular phylogenetics since Hibbett et al., and the definition and the higher ranks (e.g., phyla) of the ‘true fungi’ have been revised in several subsequent publications. Rapid accumulation of novel genomi

Background and objective: There are multiple pharmacological treatment options for motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). These comprise multiple drug classes which are approved for the condition, including levodopa, dopamine agonists, COMT inhibitors, MAO-B inhibitors, NMDA-receptor antagonists, anticholinergics, and others. Some of the drugs are approved for monotherapy and combination ther

This study focuses on the introduction of new nuclear, particularly Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. The Swedish Government has decided on a revival for nuclear energy where SMRs are an important contribution to reach the goal of a total output of at least 2 500 MW by 2035. In this stage when much is unclear about the re-introduction and SMRs are under development media is an important age

This paper describes measurements of the transverse momentum spectra of W and Z bosons produced in proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of s=5.02 TeV and s=13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Measurements are performed in the electron and muon channels, W→ℓν and Z→ℓℓ (ℓ=e or μ), and for W events further separated by charge. The data were collected in 2017

A search for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production in the bb¯γγ final state is performed using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This analysis supersedes and expands upon the previous nonresonant ATLAS results in this final state based on the same data sample. The analysis strategy is optimi

The transverse momentum (pT) and centrality dependence of the nuclear modification factor RAA of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ, the latter originating from the weak decays of beauty hadrons, have been measured by the ALICE collaboration in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV. The measurements are carried out through the e+e− decay channel at midrapidity (|y| < 0.9) in the transverse momentum region 1.5

This study examines the determinants of environmentally responsible behavior among tourists in the heritage villages of Paveh County, Iran, through an integrated theoretical framework that synthesizes place-related psychological constructs with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Employing structural equation modeling on data collected from 443 tourists across three heritage villages (July–Novem

Inclusive cross-sections for top-quark pair production in association with charm quarks are measured with proton–proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC between 2015 and 2018. The measurements are performed by requiring one or two charged leptons (electrons and muons), two b-tag
