Proteomics can shed light on the dynamic and multifaceted alterations in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Combining radioligands measuring β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and tau tangles with cerebrospinal fluid proteomics, we uncover molecular events mirroring different stages of AD pathology in living humans. We found 127 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) across the AD spe
The entitlement to access assistive technology (AT) is fundamental for all individuals. However, challenges encountered during societal crises can significantly impact opportunities for participation and engagement among AT users. Understanding the implications of crises and disasters on AT provision along with their repercussions for end users is crucial.

The importance of genetic diversity has been recognised by the Convention on Biological Diversity but attempts at monitoring or improving the genetic diversity of populations have been minimal. Here, we investigate changes over time in the genetic diversity of a wild insect species, Maniola jurtina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) and present a large-scale investigation into contemporary spatial genetic
Background: Despite the rapid pace of assistive robotics development, adoption of these has been limited. This raises questions such as: What contributes to this low uptake? What strategies could be employed to increase uptake? What guidance can be found in the literature to inform alternative approaches or directions for development?Objective: This critical narrative review sheds light on the devBackground: Despite the rapid pace of assistive robotics development, adoption of these has been limited.

This study seeks to explore the pragmaticalization process of (it's) no biggie, through a corpus-based taxonomical and statistical examination. The research study involves (i) elaborating a taxonomy of no biggie constructions by exploring the variability of the pragmatic functions and the syntactic features associated with the construction; (ii) monitoring the links between the taxonomical types o
The concept of a customer order decoupling point (CODP) has been discussed since 1984. The CODP refers to the point in the supply chain at which a product is linked to a specific customer. Consequently, make to stock (MTS), assemble to order (ATO), make to order (MTO), purchase and make to order (PMTO), andengineer to order (ETO) all refer to different positions of the CODP. The CODP separates the
Among adolescents, loneliness is common. One kind of loneliness, existential loneliness, is understood as a painful part of the human condition. During adolescence, existential loneliness has been shown to be challenging to navigate independently. Therefore, this study aimed to explore Swedish adolescents’ experiences of existential loneliness regarding receiving and providing support. This study
Introduction: Widening participation in education by including students from underrepresented groups has been recognized as important for the last decade. During the recent pandemic, the interest in how to make students from different backgrounds feel part of the university, and connected to their studies and peers, has become an even more widespread concern and therefore important to explore furt
Quality requirements are critical for successful software engineering, with maintainability being a key internal quality. Despite significant attention in software metrics research, maintainability has attracted surprisingly little focus in the Requirements Engineering (RE) community. This position paper proposes a synergistic approach, combining code-oriented research with RE expertise, to create
As one of the most critical components of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), the ion exchange membrane directly influences the battery efficiency and cycle life. Herein, poly(isatin triphenyl) (PIT) containing a lactam structure and devoid of ether bonds is synthesized from isatin and p-terphenyl under superacid catalysis. To achieve the ion transport and investigate the impact of side chain
Now extinct, the aurochs (Bos primigenius) was a keystone species in prehistoric Eurasian and North African ecosystems, and the progenitor of cattle (Bos taurus), domesticates that have provided people with food and labour for millennia1. Here we analysed 38 ancient genomes and found 4 distinct population ancestries in the aurochs—European, Southwest Asian, North Asian and South Asian—each of whicNow extinct, the aurochs (Bos primigenius) was a keystone species in prehistoric Eurasian and North African ecosystems, and the progenitor of cattle (Bos taurus), domesticates that have provided people with food and labour for millennia1.

With the development of new radiopharmaceutical therapies, quantitative SPECT/CT has progressively emerged as a crucial tool for dosimetry. One major obstacle of SPECT is its poor resolution, which results in blurring of the activity distribution. Especially for small objects, this so-called partial-volume effect limits the accuracy of activity quantification. Numerous methods for partial-volume c
Efter cirka 20 år med Århuskonventionen har tillämpningen av konventionen haft tid att utvecklas. Införlivandet av konventionen i svensk rätt var från början en komplex uppgift då det inte bara handlar om konventionen i sig själv utan också hur den kan integreras med grundlag, miljöbalk och speciallagar. Till denna komplexitet kommer utvecklingen av riktlinjer på myndigheter och praxis i domstolar
The Taranta1 project, a collaboration between the MAX IV Institute1 and Square Kilometre Array (SKAO)2 within the Tango3 Collaboration, presents a web-based, no-code approach for creating graphical interfaces dedicated to monitoring and controlling Tango-based systems. Through an active development phase and close collaboration with the community, the software has seen the introduction of advanced
International corporate criminal responsibility has been discussed by scholars and practitioners as an avenue for bringing corporations to account for some of their wrongdoing for more than two decades. This thesis focuses on how thinking about the international corporate criminal responsibility project as ideology can further our understanding of the relationship between the corporate form, corpo
Background: In experimental studies, several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have shown endocrine disrupting properties, but very few epidemiological studies have examined their impact on pubertal development and results have been heterogenous. Objective: To explore if maternal PAH exposure during pregnancy was associated with the offspring's timing of pubertal onset. Methods: We studied 5
The aim of this study was to investigate Swedish children's and parents' attitudes and knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination a year after gender-neutral HPV vaccination was introduced in Sweden's national immunization program (NIP). Additional information about HPV and vaccine was provided in the extended immunazation program. In total, 276 parents and 206 children from 22 School
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) supplies extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation with attosecond pulse duration for a wide variety of applications from fundamental research to industry. As HHG is a very inefficient process, enhancing the XUV flux is of great interest. Hereby, either the HHG process itself or the laser which is the primary driver of HHG can be optimized.Currently, the technology i
