We propose a methodology to enhance local CO2 monitoring by integrating satellite data from the Orbiting Carbon Observatories (OCO-2 and OCO-3) with ground-level observations from the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) and weather data from the ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5). Unlike traditional methods that downsample national data, our approach uses multimodal data fusion for high-resolution
Brake particle emissions present significant risks to human health, particularly when they contain metallic fine particles, which can induce oxidative stress, disrupt cellular structures, and cause genetic damage. In this study, an alumina coating was deposited on cast iron discs and a non-asbestos organic (NAO) pad and a low-metallic (LM) pad (as reference) were used as counterparts of the brake
Hard alumina-based coatings can be applied to cast iron brake discs using a plasma electrolytic aluminating (PEA) process to enhance wear and corrosion resistance and reduce brake particle emissions. This work was first to study the influence of friction wear on corrosion property and then investigate the influence of corrosion on brake particle emissions from cast iron discs through comparison of
In this paper, we propose a scheme to identify discrete-time, multi-input/multi-output switched-linear systems (MIMO-SLSs) from input-output measurements. The key step is an observer-based transformation to a switched auto-regressive with exogenous input (SARX) model. This transformation converts the state-space (SS) identification problem into a MIMO-SARX identification problem by compressing in
Introduction: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a dismal prognosis. The majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and for these patients, the only possible treatment is palliative chemotherapy. There are increasing data from retrospective studies indicating that a subgroup of patients with liver-limited metastases may benefit from surgical treatment of liver
I Sverige hålls människor kvar i fattigdom, samtidigt som de misstänkliggörs av politiker som lata, otacksamma och bidragsberoende. Att regeringen svajar på sanningen visar bara på deras djupa okunskap om försörjningsstödssystemet – samtidigt som de förstärker en demoniserande bild av utrikesfödda barnfamiljer i utsatthet, skriver 18 fattigdomsforskare.
The structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are malleable to solution conditions. Considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the effects of molecular crowding on these properties. Polymer-based crowders, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Ficoll®, are commonly used to simulate the intracellular environment by replicating the high concentration of macromolec
The evolution of advanced cognition in vertebrates is associated with two independent innovations in the forebrain: the six-layered neocortex in mammals and the dorsal ventricular ridge (DVR) in sauropsids (reptiles and birds). How these novelties arose in vertebrate ancestors remains unclear. To reconstruct forebrain evolution in tetrapods, we built a cell type atlas of the telencephalon of the s
We aimed to investigate the association between psychotropic drug use (proxy for psychological health) and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type 1 and type 2 in upper and lower limbs. We also assessed the impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors. From a national record linkage database [4,706,821 individuals (25–64 years); CRPS type 1 = 809; type 2 = 225], prevalence ratios (PR), absol
This study examined pathways to quality-of-life (QOL) among hotel staff facing job insecurity, considering the roles of customer orientation, organizational commitment, leadership, and job engagement. A research model was developed and tested using path analysis on survey data, comparing groups with high and low job insecurity. Results showed the model explained 43.3 % of variance in QOL. Customer
Background: In cardiovascular magnetic resonance, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is the standard method to visualize myocardial infarction (MI). Many algorithms quantifying infarct size in LGE images exist. However, only few algorithms have been validated, i.e., benchmarked against an ex-vivo measurement. Furthermore, the reported algorithm performance varies considerably between studies. Objec
Historians of knowledge recognize that scientific knowledge is insepa- rable from ideology, which means that the intertwinement of the epistemic and the political constitutes a key topic of study. However, historians of knowledge have thus far not focused sufficiently on intersections with religiosity and spiritu- ality. To address this gap, this article introduces the numinous as a complemen- tar
This chapter explores the intersection of authenticity, commercialization, and influencer culture in digital fashion media through the case study of Swedish retailer Ellos’ “Made by Women” campaign. Using a qualitative methodology, the study investigates how brands instrumentalize personal narratives to create emotional engagement while serving commercial interests. The findings reveal a paradox o
Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from trigeminal structures is central to migraine pathophysiology. This study employed an ex vivo model preserving anatomical continuity between the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) and trigeminal ganglion (TG) to investigate (1) whether TNC stimulation induces peripheral CGRP release from the TG and (2) the potential involvement of a dis
Excitation energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes is vital for highly efficient primary photosynthesis. Controlling this process is the key for advancing the emerging artificial photosynthetic systems. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the enhanced excitation energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting 2 complexes (LH2) mediated through the Fabry-Pérot opti
The long-term effects of COVID-19, known as post-COVID condition (PCC), are still not fully understood. This systematic review synthesizes findings from Nordic registry studies to highlight long-term outcomes after COVID-19 infection. Twenty-two studies, primarily reflecting the pre-omicron and early vaccination phases, reveal increased primary care use for respiratory issues and fatigue in the su
This was a retrospective cross-sectional study evaluating the aetiology and antibiotic susceptibility in patients treated for suspected bacterial keratitis at Skåne University Hospital during 2019. Inclusion criteria: eyes with bacterial keratitis. Exclusion criteria: co-infection with other microbes. Primary outcome parameters: predisposing factors, causative pathogens and antibiotic susceptibili
