Post-growth science seeks to meet human needs equitably for all within the planet’s ecological limits, independent of GDP growth [1]. We propose that developing sector-specific post-growth visions, for example, in healthcare, energy, food, housing, education, or recreation, can help translate post-growth principles into concrete and relatable futures. Communicating such visions can broaden public

Cryptids – animals that are sometimes observed but have not been scientifically verified – can be said to belong to the realms of myth or imagination. They are often strongly associated with particular regions and landscapes, and are therefore frequently used for tourism, marketing, and regional branding purposes. Consequently, public authorities and government agencies must sometime navigate theiCryptids – animals that are sometimes observed but have not been scientificallyverified – can be said to belong to the realms of myth or imagination.

Structural adjustment programs (SAPs) and their developmentalimpacts have been extensively studied. Literatures on neo-colonialism and unequal exchange suggest that SAPs representeda continuation or resumption of extractive colonial strategies,promoting the transfer of physical resources and value from post-colonial countries to developed countries. However, there hasbeen little systematic analysi

For most organisms, we rely on the ability to observe them from birth to death in order to fully understand their ecology, life cycles, adaptations, and interactions with other organisms. For fungi, this is a challenge, and little is known about how old they can become and in what form they persist in the environment. In this opinion article, we highlight the complexity of determining the longevitFor most organisms, we rely on the ability to observe them from birth to death in order to fully understand their ecology, life cycles, adaptations, and interactions with other organisms.

While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in particular, in wild study species.Here, we examined the root microbiota of the perennial vine Solanum dulcamara, a wild relative of potato with an unusually wide ecological ampWhile we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in particular, in wild study species.Here, we examined the root microbiota of the perennial vine Solanum dulcamara, a wild relative of potato with an unusually wide ecological amp

This article reflects on unresolved affective tensions in the field, not as failures or impasses but as analytical tools for (un)doing research. Shifting from a distant and detached analysis of my interlocutors’ narratives towards a decentred account of myself, I trace my disorientations, discomforts and troubles in encounters with queer refugees and asylum seekers. Through this ephemeral self-acc

AbstractBackground:Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii remains as a global concern with its ability to adhere, disperse and sustain on areas involving suboptimal infection control measures, especially war zones. We aimed to evaluate the molecular epidemiology and virulence factors of A. baumannii isolates from conflict zone in Ukraine.Methods:In 2022, 46 A. baumannii wound isolates were re

Community-aqcuired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious causes leading to hospitalization. Historically, Streptococcous pneumoniae has been the most common etiology in CAP and has therefor led to targeted interventions such as immunization in children, the elderly, and risk groups. Other important pathogens are Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and respiratory viruses.T

AIM: Risk assessment tools for periodontitis lack sufficient precision to predict disease progression. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate proteolytic activity (PA) in gingival crevicular fluid in relation to clinically assessed progression risk, microbial community composition and host proteome.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples were collected from 109 patients with periodontitis and st

Background: Dietary vitamins play a role in antioxidant defense and immunoregulation. However, prospective studies exploring the association between vitamin intakes during pregnancy and the child’s risk of type 1 diabetes are limited. Objectives: This population-based prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between maternal intake of vitamins A, C, D, and E during pregnancy a

Jewelry design is a complex and craft-based practice involving diverse activities, processes, and interactions with a range of actors to create jewelry that meets clients’ individual needs. However, how jewelry design, as a practice, is carried out is not very well described and, therefore, is not fully understood. Investigating how designers manage their work, what inspires them, how they relate

Objective: We investigated the risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and drug use disorder (DUD) in the offspring of parents with major depression (MDD) or bipolar disorder (BD), including how parent and offspring sex impact familial transmission. Method: Offspring born in Sweden during 1970–1990 in intact families with parental MDD or BD (n = 1,218,920) were examined using Swedish population regist

The upcoming revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) will require reporting of the whole life-cycle global warming potential (GWP) for new buildings from 2028 at the European level. In the Nordic countries, several frontrunners have already introduced national climate declaration requirements for new buildings. The focus was primarily on embodied emissions from building ma

Background: Characterizing the immune landscape of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) is essential for patient stratification for emerging immunotherapeutic approaches and for optimizing follow-up strategies. In this study, we examined the expression patterns and clinical significance of five immune-related markers in a large cohort of TETs. Material and methods: Expression of TIM3, OX40L, GTF2I, XPO
