The ability of organisms to change color in response to a change in environmental conditions is widespread across taxa. Predation represents the longstanding hypothesis for the evolution of such coloration plasticity. Yet, tests of the evolutionary drivers of coloration plasticity remain rare. Here, we examine how predation shapes both baseline coloration and coloration plasticity in the Trinidadi

The Circular Economy (CE) concept continues to garner significant attention from stakeholders. Yet, what a CE entails in its realized state remains insufficiently articulated, particularly for product users. This study introduces a multilevel systems model that conceptualizes an economy-wide, fully implemented CE from the perspective of the product user. The focus is on the foundational tenets of

Political participation is considered an important path for people to influence politics. However, whether those who participate actually see more of their preferred policies implemented remains an open question. We address this question by analyzing cross-national data connecting opinions to subsequent policy implementation on multiple policy issues. Based on an analysis of data on more than 270,

This thesis investigated how driving is affected by low visibility due to wildfire smoke. Virtual reality experiments with a driving simulator were performed with 89 participants. The software and hardware configuration mirrored the experiments by Rohaert et al. (2025) in order to compare the results. Participants drove five scenarios with different levels of smoke and were instructed to behave as

Det förändrade säkerhetspolitiska läget under de senaste åren har skapat ett behov av stärkt nationell beredskap i Sverige. För att säkerställa att landet är förberett för potentiella kriser eller väpnade konflikter har utvecklingen och förstärkningen av det civila försvaret prioriterats. Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) ansvarar för att säkerställa att det civila försvaret fungerThe changing geopolitical situation in recent years has created a need for strengthened national preparedness in Sweden. To ensure that the country is prepared for potential crises or armed conflicts, the development and reinforcement of the civil defence has been prioritised. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) is responsible for ensuring that the civil defence functions effectively duri

Dream Away. A Comparative Study of How Fritidsresor and Vingresor Presents the Mediterranean in Travel Catalogues from the 1960s and 1980s I denna uppsats kommer kvalitativ innehållsanalys och bildanalys användas för att analysera hur turismen har förändrats mellan 1960- och 1980-talet. Källmaterialet består av totalt 31 stycken resekataloger från Vingresor och Fritidsresor. Dessa kataloger analys

This essay examines how masculinity is negotiated through equestrian symbolism in Nicholas Evans’s The Horse Whisperer (1995) and Jilly Cooper’s Riders (1985), situating both novels within the cultural context of late twentieth-century neoliberal Britain and the United States. Drawing on masculinity studies, neoliberal theory, and animal symbolism, the essay argues that the horse functions as a ce

This master thesis was conducted in collaboration with ateljé Lyktan and aimed to develop a concept for a decorative luminaire for public indoor environments, based on an already established design concept. The objective was to create an alternative to the recessed LED panel commonly used in ceiling grid systems, which often lack aesthetic character and fail to provide lighting that meets visual e

INTRODUCTION: Amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET) is pivotal to Alzheimer's management, with the Centiloid standardizing measurements across tracers. AMYPAD trials (Diagnostic and Patient Management Study [DPMS] and Prognostic and Natural History Study [PNHS]) aimed to validate robust quantification in clinical settings. We report our comprehensive approach to amyloid-PET implementation, co

What are the benefit and harms of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients who are inadequate responders to conventional synthetic DMARDs?

Increasing drought frequency and intensity affect biophysical functions of natural ecosystems. In tropical semi-arid savannas, while immediate drought effects are well-studied, the drought legacy effects on vegetation composition and associated ecosystem functions remain unclear. We used data of vegetation composition, net ecosystem CO 2 exchange, surface albedo and evapotranspiration (ET) in 2017

Introduction: Suturing is a fundamental component of surgical procedures, wherein training emphasises the significance of gentle tissue handling. The suturing process involves the pressure exerted by the forceps onto the tissue, as well as the medial traction force applied to stabilise the tissue during the needle bite. This study examined the forces involved in tissue handling during suturing, co

There is little consensus on the optimal components of gambling psychological treatments. This study aimed to identify clinical consensus statements regarding the perceived effectiveness of gambling intervention content (change techniques, participant/recruitment characteristics, delivery characteristics, and evaluation characteristics) from a panel of researchers with psychological gambling treat

This chapter explores how Danish animal rights activists challenge the commodification of female bodies, particularly in dairy production, through narratives of motherhood and care. It examines how activists attempt to educate the public—not only by providing information about how dairy is produced but also by offering alternative frameworks from which to think about human-cow relations. Based on

Objective: To examine the current status and future perspectives of prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of randomized controlled trials focused on PCa screening and treatment. This review specifically focused on population-based trials enrolling men at average risk of PCa. Results: Prostate-specific antigen has been the cornerstone of PCa screening since its c

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced aberrant oncogenic signalling has been proposed to mediate the progression and development of pleural mesothelioma (PM). In this study, we demonstrate how ROS promote oncogenic signalling, especially in the context of cell migration and immune evasion via YB-1 phosphorylation in mesothelial and PM cell models. Xanthine (X)- and xanthine oxidase (XO)-generated

Objective: To report initial experience using endografts with exclusively retrograde inner branches for endovascular aortic arch repair. Methods: A retrospective review of endovascular aortic arch repairs using custom made endografts exclusively integrating retrograde inner branches (Cook Medical, Brisbane, Australia) was conducted across seven tertiary centres (June 2022 and December 2024). Prima

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19 may influence obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) pathophysiology by affecting upper airway collapsibility, ventilatory control, and arousal responses, raising the possibility of a bidirectional relationship. This study examined whether individuals with a history of COVID-19 show altered OSA-related physiological traits compared with those without pri
