Accurate accounting of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions and removals is central to tracking progress toward climate mitigation and for monitoring potential climate-change feedbacks. GHG budgeting and reporting can follow either the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change methodologies for National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (NGHGI) reporting or use atmospheric-based “top-down” (TD) inversions or pro
Background: The routine use of sedation and analgesia during post-cardiac arrest care and its association with clinical outcomes remain unclear. This study aimed to describe the use of sedatives and analgesics in post-cardiac arrest care, and evaluate associations with good functional outcome, survival, clinical seizures, and late awakening. Methods: This was a post hoc analysis of the TTM2-trial,
OBJECTIVE:: The aim of the trial was to compare laparoscopic technique with open technique regarding short-term pain, quality of life (QoL), recovery, and complications. BACKGROUND:: Laparoscopic and open techniques for incisional hernia repair are recognized treatment options with pros and cons. METHODS:: Patients from 7 centers with a midline incisional hernia of a maximum width of 10 cm were ra
Autoimmune T cell responses directed against insulin-producing β cells are central to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Detection of such responses is therefore critical to provide novel biomarkers for T1D 'immune staging' and to understand the mechanisms underlying the disease. While different T cell assays are being developed for these purposes, it is important to optimize and standardi
We investigate how the anchoring effect—a well-established cognitive bias—influences the full distribution of subjective beliefs. While prior research extensively examines the impact of anchoring and other biases on point estimates, their effect on higher moments of the distribution remains unexplored. Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var
Globalisering, ny teknologi och demografiska förändringar innebär genomgripande förändringar av arbetsmiljö och arbetsorganisation. Om arbetsmiljöpolitiken då inte är tydlig och viljeinriktad finns en påtaglig risk för ett polariserat arbetsliv, där de som kan välja mellan olika arbetsgivare får en god och utvecklande arbetsmiljö, medan de andra riskerar att bli hänvisade till förhållanden där int
Background: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies have shown that the continuous migration of tibial components is predictive of aseptic loosening following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In the present study, we investigated whether accurate sizing and placement of tibial components are related to the degree of implant migration as measured with use of RSA.Methods:A total of 111 patients who u
This paper presents a search for hypothetical massive, charged, long-lived particles with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at s = 13 TeV. These particles are expected to move significantly slower than the speed of light and should be identifiable by their high transverse momenta and anomalously large specific ionisation losses, dE
Objectives: We aimed to map the correlation between thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and Gafchromic film for measuring absorbed doses and to compare minimum, maximum, and mean absorbed doses over larger regions of interest and at various craniofacial organs and tissues during cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) exposure of the mandibular third molar region. Study Design: We positioned TLDs at
Objectives: To analyze the accumulated fees connected with root filling, permanent coronal restoration and follow-on treatment charged by Swedish dentists over a 10–11-year follow-up period. Furthermore, analyzing these fees with reference to the type of restoration, tooth group, and the root-filled teeth which survived compared to those requiring extraction. Material and Methods: In 2009, the dat
Results of a search for new phenomena in events with large missing transverse momentum and a Higgs boson decaying to two photons are reported. Data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) have been collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The observed data are well described by the expected standard model b
This study takes its starting point in the questions of whether and how theology might serve as a faith-based peacebuilding resource. Based on an exploration of the textual process towards an international ecumenical declaration on just peace in the World Council of Churches, it suggests that theology can indeed serve as such a resource and it sketches how theology can make such a contribution. Th
Viral hepatitis remains a global health concern, with growing recognition of the impact of hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and herpesvirus-associated hepatitis, particularly in vulnerable groups. This narrative review from the ESCMID Study Group for Viral Hepatitis (ESGVH) summarizes recent advances and expert perspectives. For HAV, insights into viral evolution, epidemiology, an
Charged Higgs bosons produced either in top-quark decays or in association with a top quark, subsequently decaying via (Formula presented), are searched for in (Formula presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula presented) recorded with the ATLAS detector. Depending on whether the top quark is produced together with the (Formula presented) decays hadronically or semileptonically, the s
This paper presents a measurement of jet-track correlations in photon-jet events, using 1.72 (Formula presented) of (Formula presented) data at (Formula presented) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with energetic photon-jet pairs are selected, where the photon and jet are approximately back-to-back in azimuth. The angular correlation between jets and charged-particle tracks with
Background and Objectives: The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Working Party (WP) on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology (RCI&BGT) held six business meetings between December 2021 and June 2024. This report describes the new blood group systems and antigens ratified during these meetings. Materials and Methods: Candidate systems and antigens were reviewed acco
A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson H into new scalar or pseudoscalar particles that subsequently decay into b-quarks is presented. The search considers ZH production with several decay scenarios for the Higgs boson; first to a pair of identical scalars, H → 2a → 4b, second to a pair of scalars with different masses (ma1 < ma2), either directly, H → a1a2 → 4b, or via a longer decay chain
