Objective To compare neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm (EPT) children born across two epochs in Sweden. Design and setting Nationwide population-based cohorts of infants born at 22–26 weeks’ gestation in 2004–2007 (Cohort 1) and 2014–2016 (Cohort 2), comprising 1606 live births. Survivors were assessed at 2–2.5 years’ corrected age using the same protocol design. Main outcome The pr
Eight compounds were isolated from the water-soluble fraction of Wikstroemia indica (L.) C.A. Mey., including two new neolignans (isonitidanin-4-O-β-D-glucoside (3) and threo-citrusin B (6)), four known neolignans (1, 2, 4, and 5), along with two previously reported lignans (7 and 8). Spectral analysis (1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS/MS) was used to identify their chemical structures. Except for compou
Road traffic pollution is one of the most important factors among other environmental factors that influence the roadside vegetation. The present research examines the impact of motorway flyovers and at-grade roads on air pollution (PM10, SOx, NOx, and air quality index (AQI)) and roadside vegetation in Dehradun by considering the important biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, ascorbic acid
Avoiding exceeding planetary boundaries, while still achieving a decent standard of living for all is a global challenge represented in the so-called doughnut model. Policies for local mobility in line with the doughnut model, will lead to less and slower mobility for many people. This paper contributes to doughnut literature with insights regarding people’s visions of life with doughnut-inspired
The “Warburg effect”, a metabolic adaptation observed in dividing cells, involves a shift from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to cytoplasmic glucose metabolism. This metabolic process is characterized by increased cellular uptake of glucose and glutamine, elevated intracellular pH and sodium levels, enhanced protection against oxidative stress, altered autophagy, and increased lactate pro
Background and aim: The MY PD-CARE digital tool is intended to empower people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and care partners to actively identify and track changes in key symptoms of advancing PD and to facilitate discussions with healthcare professionals (HCPs). MY PD-CARE was adapted from MANAGE-PD, a validated, web-based tool that helps HCPs identify patients with inadequate symptom control. T
We present the time-resolved luminescence end station developed at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory for the studies of ultrafast energy relaxation and emission properties. The instrument consists of a temperature-controlled vacuum chamber sample environment, in which the UV–visible luminescence is collected from the point of interaction of ultrashort x-ray pulses with luminescent mat
Human hands can perform far more gestures than the number of muscles controlling them, as most gestures result from coordinated combinations of muscle activations and relaxations. This complexity poses a key challenge for human-machine interfaces performing gesture classification based on electromyography (EMG). Rather than identifying all conceivable gestures, it may be simpler to instead identif
Digitalization of the downstream process for monoclonal antibodies can be used as a tool towards more efficient and sustainable processing. One part of digitalization are digital twins, which can help provide insights into a process and be used for process optimization, reducing production costs and accelerating drug discovery. However, creating a useful digital twin is often difficult and time-co
Spermine, a pivotal player in biomolecular condensation and diverse cellular processes, has emerged as a focus of investigation in aging, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. Despite its significance, the mechanistic details of spermine remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe the distinct modulation by spermine on Alzheimer’s Tau and Parkinson’s α-synuclein, elucidating their condensat
A piece that deals with: A. Where does the real Ecumenical debate stand today - between the confessions or rather between conservative and liberal streams of the church? B: What is the relationship between Ecumenical conversation and inter-religious conversation?
Background: Self-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We included data fr
The abundance and star formation histories of satellites of Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies are linked to their hosts' assembly histories. To explore this connection, we use the PARADIGM suite of zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations of MW-mass haloes, evolving the same initial conditions spanning various halo assembly histories with the VINTERGATAN and IllustrisTNG models. Our VINTERGATAN simulations o
An experimental study of smoke propagation from an apartment to an escape route corridor in a real-scale residential building is presented in this paper. The experiments were performed using the same experimental setup but with different ventilation and apartment door opening times. The setup consisted of a fire in a two-seater sofa in an apartment connected to a corridor and other apartments. A t
Globally, road traffic accidents (RTAs) remain a major cause of death, particularly among individuals aged 15–30 years. While Sweden has been at the forefront of traffic safety through the Vision Zero initiative, in-hospital management remains crucial in determining RTA outcomes. Drawing on North American evidence suggesting improved survival at trauma centres, the Swedish healthcare system has in
Stjärnböckerna is a book series for teenagers that was published by Svensk läraretidnings förlag 1937–1950. This article investigates the launch of the book series in 1937, the content of the first four books, their reception and the marketing of the book series, with the aim to gain a deeper understanding of how the publisher performed literary value. The study draws on theories about literary
