Urban areas provide a promising context for upcycling due to the concentration of consumers and existence of bulky waste resources. Hence, upcycling initiatives emerge across European cities, but little is known about their manifestations. Building on interviews with twenty-four stakeholders from the urban upcycling ecosystem and three focus groups sessions, a morphological model was created with
This paper introduces a novel approach for transitioning from high-granularity Ray-Tracing (RT) channel simulations to channel emulation, accompanied by an over-the-air test. The RT simulation is performed on a Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication drive scenario generating basis for channel emulation in a channel emulator. The channel simulation, and the accompanying channel emulation, also enab
Understanding the structure of metal-ligand complexes is essential for catalyst design, materials development, and biochemical modeling. Metal carbonyls are especially relevant due to their diverse structures and electronic features. Here, we benchmarked seventeen density functionals (B3LYP, BP86, CAM–B3LYP, M06, M06L, PBE, PBE0, r2SCAN, r2SCAN–3c, revPBE, revTPSS, RPBE, TPSS, TPSS0, TPSSh, (Formu
Background: Detecting and monitoring monoclonal free light immunoglobulin chains in serum is important for managing patients with B-cell neoplasms. Established methods have relied on immunochemistry, with monoclonality determined through an abnormal ratio of free kappa and lambda chains and an increased concentration of the involved chain. This indirect approach has limitations. Mass spectrometric
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

Objective: Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces infection risk following transrectal prostate biopsy. Studies in countries with high antibiotic resistance show that fosfomycin, given an hour or more before biopsy, has equal or better outcomes than ciprofloxacin. This study aimed to evaluate if fosfomycin, administered immediately before biopsy, is as effective as ciprofloxacin in Sweden, where antibioti
The aim of this study was to assess to what extent receptive vocabulary could be explained by morphological knowledge, language majority/minority background and socioeconomic status (SES) for Swedish 8–11-year-old children. A total of 89 children participated, of whom n = 47 were L1 speakers (language majority) and n = 42 were L2 speakers (language minority). Morphological knowledge (MK) was asses
The Court’s central message in Pan Europe (Closer) is that the principle of mutual recognition is not absolute. When decisions fail to consider the most recent scientific and technical knowledge, the precautionary principle must be applied. This case serves as a guide for the proper application of the precautionary principle, particularly in situations where it may come into tension with the princ
The Tajik health system is characterized by improving health outcomes over the last 20 years, but also major inefficiencies in health care delivery and large difficulties for people to access affordable essential health care. The benefits package (BP) is a key tool for prioritizing state budget allocations toward health interventions that most effectively enhance health system performance. This ar
Background: Kidney transplant recipients after kidney transplantation may develop transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS). Multiple studies have sought to identify risk factors, yet the findings remain inconsistent. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection were comprehensively searched to retrieve studies. The 1st screening phase required studies to be in English and evaluate pa
Background: The potential of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, is being increasingly explored in healthcare settings. However, the same tools also introduce significant cybersecurity risks that could compromise patient safety, data integrity, and institutional trust. This study aimed to examine real-world security breaches involving genAI and extrapolate their pote
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading global health challenge, affecting nearly 5% of the population. Mounting evidence suggests that systemic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLGCI) plays a central role in the development and progression of MDD. This persistent inflammatory state results from unresolved immune activation and sustained exposure to modern lifestyle factors, such as sedentary
The tax system is essential for financing our public welfare and the public sector. The tax system and its capacity to generate tax revenue typically reflect the structure of the economy and as the economy changes the tax system needs to adapt. This anthology brings together different perspectives on how digitalization changes or may change the conditions for how the tax ecosystem functions, from
Biomassa har varit en central del av Sveriges strategi för att ersätta fossila bränslen de senaste decennierna. Samtidigt pekar flera studier på att efterfrågan på biomassa riskerar att bli större än den hållbara tillgången med en sådan strategi. Detta skapar betydande osäkerhet kring bioenergins framtida roll i energisystemet – både när det gäller var den kommer att behövas, hur konkurrensen med
This paper derives theoretical results for adaptive bias in Doherty amplifiers and presents the design and measurements of an integrated adaptive bias circuit tailored for high peak-to-average high bandwidth signals. Fundamental equations for output power, impedance, and efficiency of the complete Doherty amplifier are derived. Even with ideal transistor models, the Doherty amplifier is fundamenta
This article focuses on citizens’ experiences of enablers of- and barriers to obtaining digital citizenship. E-applications for social assistance are used as an exemplar. In Sweden, as in many countries, there is political pressure on welfare services to become more digitalized, and to offer different kinds of self-service technology such as e-applications. Even if the goals of implementing these
Background: The delineation of intraprostatic lesions is vital for correct delivery of focal radiotherapy boost in patients with prostate cancer (PC). Errors in the delineation could translate into reduced tumour control and potentially increase the side effects. The purpose of this study is to compare PET-based delineation methods with histopathology. Materials and methods: The study population c
