Traditional methods for microbial water quality testing take up to two days to produce results, putting humans in contact with this water risk during this period. Flow cytometry, including with online capacity, is a fast and efficient way to profile microbes in water. In this study, Escherichia coli concentrations determined by Colilert18 and flow cytometry profiles from the same water samples wer

Water resources are under increasing pressure from population growth, climate change, and intensified human activity. Effective water management requires a clear understanding of both surface and subsurface hydrological systems, yet traditional monitoring methods often fall short in spatial and temporal coverage. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), a satellite-based remote sensing te

Introduction: Falls among hospitalized older adults increase morbidity, prolong hospital stays, and raise healthcare costs. Sensor-based technologies and medical devices are emerging tools for fall prevention, but their clinical effectiveness remains uncertain. This systematic review aimed to assess their effectiveness in reducing inpatient falls, staff workload, and physical restraint use in hosp

A search for the exclusive hadronic decays Formula Presented, Formula Presented, and Formula Presented is performed using up to Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of Formula Presented. If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cro

Increasing the amount of renewable generation in distribution networks is a fundamental part of the energy transition. Multiple methods exist to increase the hosting capacity in a grid, to allow larger injections of generation and more efficiently utilize existing infrastructure before operational limits are breached. In this thesis, the method studied for this is network reconfiguration. Many dis

Introduction: Access to healthcare is a critical determinant of health and central to Swedish public health policy. Sweden, like many other countries has seen a rise in precarious employment and there has been substantial research into the negative health effects associated with it. In accordance with vertical equality in health care, people exposed to precarious employment should consequently hav

This letter presents a search for narrow, high-mass resonances in the Zγ final state with the Z boson decaying into a pair of electrons or muons. The s=13 TeV pp collision data were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and have an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The data are found to be in agreement with the Standard Model background expectation. Upper limits are set

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown a disagreement between observed stellar radii and radii predicted by theoretical stellar structure models. This ‘radius inflation’ problem could have an impact on both stellar and exoplanetary science. We present the final results of our observation programme with the CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) to obtain high-precision light cur

Historians of knowledge recognize that scientific knowledge is insepa- rable from ideology, which means that the intertwinement of the epistemic and the political constitutes a key topic of study. However, historians of knowledge have thus far not focused sufficiently on intersections with religiosity and spiritu- ality. To address this gap, this article introduces the numinous as a complemen- tar

Multiple studies have demonstrated that cancer cells with microsatellite instability (MSI) are intolerant to loss of the Werner syndrome helicase (WRN), whereas microsatellite-stable (MSS) cancer cells are not. Therefore, WRN represents a promising new synthetic lethal target for developing drugs to treat cancers with MSI. Given the uncertainty of how effective inhibitors of WRN activity will prov

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic, progressive, and recurring disease that contributes significantly to multimorbidity across Europe. Despite the publication of numerous clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for obesity, many chronic disease guidelines for obesity related diseases such as diabetes, MASLD, heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea do not integrate contemporary understandings of obesity

Accessible design enables participation in the digital society for everyone. However, cognitive accessibility is not well established within the field of web design. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a descriptive framework that relates health conditions to functioning and participation. ICF Core Sets are purposefully tailored shortlists of ICF c

To predict major pressure losses from pumping shear thinning liquid foods and beverage, rheometer-measured flow behaviour (n) and flow consistency (K) indices are needed. These are always obtained with some measurement uncertainty. This contribution develops a tool that allows for quantitatively estimating how a given measurement uncertainty in the rheological parameters translate to predictio

Background: Rare disease clinical trials are notorious for complexities that frequently result in study-start delays. However, there is limited knowledge about how participants and researchers perceive these delays and what factors shape their experiences. A clinical trial in the rare, progressive disorder Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration—the PKAN trial—encountered an unexpected de

STUDY QUESTION What are the perspectives of oocyte and sperm donors 14-17 years post-donation on the release of their identity and potential contact with donor-conceived offspring (DCO)? SUMMARY ANSWER Most oocyte and sperm donors wanted to be notified about future releases of their identity and were positive towards contact with DCO, but more than half expressed a need for support in relation to

The Siusi/Seis section has been measured for the δ13C signature across the Permian-Triassic Boundary (PTB) in high resolution on magnetostratigraphic samples from Scholger et al. (2000), enabling an exact correlation with magnetostratigraphic data. We show that the base of the short normal polarity magnetozone that has been reported from the evento-stratigraphic boundary correlates with a distinct

Tensor-valued encoding in diffusion MRI allows probing of microscopic anisotropy in tissue, however, time-dependent diffusion (TDD) can bias results unless b-tensors are carefully tuned to account for TDD. We propose two novel strategies for tuning b-tensors to enable accurate measurements without interference from TDD due to restricted diffusion. The first strategy involves identifying encoding t

Phylogenies are central to many disciplines in biology. While disciplines such as systematics are focused on phylogenetic hypotheses themselves, other disciplines depend on robust and well-supported phylogenies in order to put biological data into evolutionary context through phylogenetic comparative studies. Examples of such fields are macroevolutionary research e.g. studying the evolution of a f
