The strata encompassing the Permian–Triassic boundary interval capture a pivotal period in Earth's history, with significant changes in Phanerozoic Earth system dynamics, culminating in a severe mass extinction. In carbonate platforms, this boundary is marked by a shift from skeletal to microbial carbonate production. Whereas extensive research has focused on the End-Permian Mass Extinction in ope
Near-field focusing (NFF) is a fundamental enabler for a broad spectrum of applications utilizing large intelligent surfaces (LIS) within sub-10 GHz frequency bands. This paper investigates the impact of element pattern on NFF properties, when the LIS array is a large planar array. The NFF properties of maximum received power, focal width, and focal depth are analyzed for three typical antenna pat
Safe motion planning for robotic systems in dynamic environments is nontrivial in the presence of uncertain obstacles, where estimation of obstacle uncertainties is crucial in predicting future motions of dynamic obstacles. The worst case characterization gives a conservative uncertainty prediction and may result in infeasible motion planning for the ego robotic system. In this article, an efficie
As global narratives of migration continue to focus disproportionately onmovements toward the Global North, "Migration Governance Beyond the West:Historical Legacies, Contemporary Trends, and Future Trajectories" shifts the lensto underexplored South-South migration flows. This timely and data-drivenvolume offers a comprehensive analysis of migration trends, governanceframeworks, and policy respon
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) plays a crucial role in cardiovascular physiology, affecting cardiac function and arterial properties for optimal organ perfusion. Considering that diabetes mellitus (DM) is a known risk factor for incident heart disease and vascular damage, this study aims to investigate whether changes in VAC due to DM occur earlier, even before the onset of c
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied for medical knowledge discovery and to support or automate clinical decision-making. The aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge on (1) how AI experts, radiologists, and standardizers make sense of AI, in the processes of medical AI development, clinical use and standardization, and (2) how this sensemaking c
The speedy advancement of digital technologies in the last decade has introduced new tools, workflows and stakeholders in diplomacy, creating significant information demands and a state of “digital stress”. To navigate these challenges, diplomats employ coping strategies that leverage their reflexivity and autonomy to manage demands, prioritize tasks, and mitigate overload. Beyond merely adapting
Background: The Swedish health care system is undergoing a transformation. eHealth technologies are increasingly being used. The System Usability Scale is a widely used tool, offering a standardized and reliable measure for assessing the usability of digital health solutions. However, despite the existence of several translations of the System Usability Scale into Swedish, none have undergone psyc
Introduction. The introduction of publicly available large language models (LLMs) since 2022 has significantly challenged traditional library and information studies (LIS) core concepts. This paper argues that LIS needs to rethink aspects of its conceptual framework to address the challenges posed by the proliferation of AI-generated content and how this content is produced.Analysis. The study emp
Radiative lifetimes have been determined for the 62P12/0 and 62P32/0 levels in Yb II using the method of laser-induced fluorescence from sputtered metal vapour. The results, 8.0(2)ns (62P12/0) and 6.3(3)ns (62P32/0), are compared with lifetimes obtained from ab initio manybody perturbation calculations.
New mapping and laboratory studies of the impactites at the Gardnos impact structure (Norway) show a variety of impact-deformed rocks. Our mapping and petrographic analyses have subdivided these breccias into three distinct categories: (a) melt-bearing sueivitic breccias, melt-bearing polymict breccias; (b) melt-free, polymict lithic impact breccias; and (c) monomict lithic impact breccias. This i
Lipoproteins, key mediators of lipid transport, facilitate the bidirectional transfer of lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol between soluble particles and cell membranes. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) primarily engage in reverse cholesterol transport, while low-density lipoproteins (LDL) predominantly deposit lipids, affecting cardiovascular health with a well-known role i
The regional variety of actors is considered a key determinant in the last decade's rich literature on the geography of eco-innovation and green regional development. However, little is known about the extent to which regions differ in their specialization in new and established eco-innovation actors. In this article, we propose a regional typology based on green specializations concerning both in
Background: Composite outcome measures aim to provide a more holistic view when determining the effectiveness and safety of surgical interventions. Recently, 'Ideal Outcome' (IO) harmonized the European and American composite outcome of pancreatic surgery. The rate of IO after pancreatoduodenectomy was 54% but is unknown after left pancreatectomy(LP). Methods: This transatlantic analysis included
Denna rapport utgör Klimatpolitiska rådets årliga utvärdering av regeringens samlade politik i förhållande till de klimatmål som beslutats av riksdag och regering.Del I är en utvärdering av hur regeringens politik har utvecklats under 2024 och har alltså en tidsmässig avgränsning. För att sätta den utvärderingen i ett sammanhang inleds texten men en kortfattad genomgång av nu gällande klimatmål oc
Understanding of mononuclear phagocyte (MNP) diversity in the human intestine and the alterations this compartment undergoes in inflammation remains incomplete. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing, cellular indexing of trancriptomes and epitopes by sequencing, flow cytometry, and imaging to explore MNP heterogeneity in human ileal and colonic laminae propriae (LPs) in health and Crohn's disea
