Environmental Building Certification (EBC) assessments, involving modelling, simulation, and grading calculation, are often time-consuming, prompting a need for streamlining. This investigation assesses existing Building Energy Modelling (BEM) workflows for Swedish context of EBC, focusing on extracting building geometry from Autodesk Revit with minimal information losses, and considering both low
The purpose of the article is to present an overview of how convexity serves as a constraint on the semantics of natural language. I begin by presenting four question that a semantic theory should be able to answer. The semantic theory I propose is based on conceptual spaces, which are geometrical or topological structures provided with a betweenness relation. Previously, I have proposed the crite
There are a plethora of methods for solving the classical multi-label document classification problem. However, when it comes to deployment and usage in an industry setting, most if not all the contemporary approaches fail to address some of the vital aspects or requirements of an ideal solution: i) ability to operate on variable-length texts or rambling documents, ii) catastrophic forgetting prob
Early cathedrals in Lund and DalbyThe aim of the article is to present and critically re-evaluate the written end material sources concerning the early cathedrals of Lund and Dalby in Scania, former medieval Denmark and now part of Sweden. The main questions are where and when did exist cathedrals in Scania in the 11th Century, how were their architecture, how can they be dated, and why were there
In spite of the efforts made for canopy water content (CWC) mapping in the community, including vegetation water proxy from microwave-based vegetation optical depth (VOD) as well as optical-based indices, there is still no operational CWC product from optical satellites up to now. To fill this gap, this study proposes a unified algorithm for CWC mapping at both decametric and coarse spatial resoluIn spite of the efforts made for canopy water content (CWC) mapping in the community, including vegetation water proxy from microwave-based vegetation optical depth (VOD) as well as optical-based indices, there is still no operational CWC product from optical satellites up to now.

Forest conservation has emerged as a key strategy to achieve global climate goals, yet many forest-rich countries remain underfunded. Cambodia, despite its extensive forest cover and high deforestation rates, accesses only a small portion of climate finance to support national mitigation efforts. Developing countries such as Cambodia access only a small share of the substantial annual for national
Savanna ecosystems of the Sahel are heavily affected by climate change, leading to drier subtropical regions. These ecosystems play a fundamental role in food security of the region, so that an improved understanding of how these ecosystems are affected by these weather events is thereby critical.

Rare earth elements (lanthanides) are critical materials for many applications, particularly those involved in new energy. Extracting these elements economically from low-concentration sources may be challenging. This study investigates the interaction of Ce and Gd with microalgae that have been triggered to form phosphate-rich granules. Lanthanides usually occur in nature as phosphates, and there
When exposed to high levels of phosphate after experiencing phosphate deficiency, microalgae can synthesize granules rich in intracellular phosphate. The understanding of the mechanism of production and nature of these granules remains incomplete. Here we studied phosphate distribution and chemistry in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Desmodesmus armatus using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (
High-power proton linacs are envisaged as drivers for numerous applications, such as neutron spallation sources for condensed matter study, neutrino factories, muon colliders, hybrid systems for transmutation or energy production, production of rare isotope beams for nuclear physics studies, etc. These linear accelerators are intended to deliver proton beams of up to several MW and tens of MW powe
Scientific breakthroughs in the field of cell and gene therapy lay the groundwork for therapeutic innovation, but their translation and integration into routine care is delayed by systemic inefficiencies and limited cross-sector alignment. The Advanced Therapies model of Lund is a proactive and integrated approach designed to accelerate the development of advanced therapies from discovery to reimb
Stellar clusters are structures of stars that are bound together by their mutual gravitational forces. As a cluster evolves, it will lose stars as a consequence of internal and external effects. The external effect is the most important and affects the cluster via gravitational tidal forces that can strip stars away from the cluster. Stellar clusters are subject to gravitational scattering and tid
Background: Persistent circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection during neoadjuvant treatment of early-breast cancer (EBC) indicates high-risk disease. Detection of ctDNA post-resection of EBC (molecular residual disease, MRD) indicates occult metastatic disease and impending disease relapse. For ctDNA to be integrated into EBC management, accessible and scalable diagnostic tools are requi
Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has previously been shown to be associated with cancer-related fatigue. If vitamin D deficiency affects fatigue in frail elderly has not been studied before. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between vitamin D, fatigue, frailty, and sarcopenia in frail elderly with cancer (FEC) and without cancer (FE) in comparison with healthy controls. Metho
The experimental realization of quantum molecular spectroscopy with entangled photons remains challenging owing to the low signal-to-noise ratio resulting from the use of low-flux entangled photons. High-flux entangled photons via intense entangled beams can be used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, but the presence of unentangled photons contaminates the quantum signal stemming from entangled
