Background: The optimal timing of oral anticoagulation for prevention of early ischaemic stroke recurrence in people with acute ischaemic stroke and atrial fibrillation remains uncertain. We aimed to estimate the effects of starting a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) early (≤4 days) versus later (≥5 days) after onset of ischaemic stroke. Methods: For this systematic review and meta-analysis we sea

Introduction Despite an increasing amount of research related to gender-affirming treatment (GAT) outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people (ie, people who experience discomfort or distress in the misalignment between their gender and sex assigned at birth) in recent years, the evidence base for current recommendations is suboptimal. One contributing factor is the heterogeneity in

Begreppet translanguaging (TL) refererade ursprungligen till en pedagogisk praktik som på ett strukturerat sätt involverar två språk (Williams, 1994). I takt med att begreppets innebörd vidgats avsevärt, särskilt under det senaste decenniet, har det också vunnit stort inflytande inom flerspråkighetsforskning, utbildningsvetenskap och relaterade fält. Enligt Mazak (2017) kan TL i dag referera till

This study evaluates how well five Regional Climate Model (RCM) projections at resolutions from 44 km to 3 km reproduce wet and dry spells compared with observations at six locations in Scania, southern Sweden. Future changes in general and extreme wet and dry signals were also analyzed under RCP8.5 to the end of the 21st century. Convection-permitting climate models (CPMs), operating at resolutio

A new, striking species of satyrine butterfly, Lymanopoda chysquyco sp. nov. (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae, Satyrini, Pronophilina) is described from the Páramo de Guerrero, the northern extremity of high-altitude grasslands in the Colombian Eastern Cordillera. Among approximately 70 known Lymanopoda species, only five exhibit blue colour on the upperside of their wings, with no evidence of close relati

This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the Z boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at s=8 TeV at

Cupriavidus is a bacterial genus related to Burkholderia, with members that can be negative or positive for us. Some species can give people serious, and even deadly diseases. Among the species positive for us is one that can be used for replacing plastic production from fossil oil by a more sustainable method.

The 2022 centenary of the ‘liberation of Izmir’ saw no less than three municipally organised exhibitions thematising historic events long avoided in official memory: the Great Fire of 1922, and the ensuing Turkish-Greek population exchange. Incongruent with the tale of national triumph and unity, such disasters and displacements have been systematically repressed in Turkish official memory, brough

Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespread following societal and environmental changes, with serious implications for public health and conservation efforts. Here, we performed a systematic review of 196 studies on biophobia, revealing a fr

For exploring forest performance in the future, dynamic vegetation models are important tools. Tree mortality is a crucial process in these models, but explicit representations of major agents of mortality have often been relatively underdeveloped. In needle-leaved forest in the temperate and boreal zones, bark beetles are often important for the mortality pattern. The European spruce bark beetle

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of why some rebrands trigger strong negative reactions. By comparing Jaguar’s 2024 rebrand with Mini’s 2015, the paper explores how rebranding efforts with varied approaches can have significantly different outcomes. Theory: The study uses Kapferer’s brand identity prism (2012), which understands brand identity through six facets

Circular economy (CE) is both contesting the status quo and a contested idea, for which many competing understandings and implementations exist. And yet, analyses of the role of social conflicts and pluralism are rare in the CE literature, overly focused on convergence and cooperation. To address this research gap, we draw on Mouffe’s “agonistic pluralism” political theory. Empirically, the study

Repair entails the fixing of one or several specific malfunctions or performance issues in order to return a product to proper condition or functioning. Issues requiring repair can be cosmetic (e.g., a scratch or dent), functional (e.g., the product does not turn on), or both (e.g., the product’s screen is broken). For every product that is successfully repaired instead of replaced, the need to ma

The measurement of the direct-photon spectrum from Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV is presented by the PHENIX Collaboration using the external-photon-conversion technique for 0%-93% central collisions in a transverse-momentum (pT) range of 0.8-10 GeV/c. An excess of direct photons, above prompt-photon production from hard-scattering processes, is observed for pT

Alternative Economic Models (AEMs) are theoretical frameworks that, if implemented, could fundamentally transform economic systems by aligning financial objectives with sustainability goals. Conducting rigorous research on future-oriented AEMs and other complex sustainability systems presents challenges, particularly due to the exploration of largely unverifiable future possibilities.
