Introduction Distinguishing between homicide and suicide in cases of single stab injuries to the trunk can be challenging, particularly in the absence of clear contextual information. This study aims to address this issue by developing the MODSIT score (Manner of Death in Stab Injuries to the Trunk)—an evidence-based scoring system designed to standardise forensic manner of death assessments. Meth
The browning of freshwater ecosystems is increasingly evident in temperate and northern regions, with widespread ramifications for lake physics, chemistry, and biology. Contrasting results on how freshwater browning may impact fish have been reported, but there has been no comprehensive examination of how browning may cause cascading effects on individual- to population- to community-level traits
Objective: To estimate the probability of vaginal events (diagnosis and/or surgery) following radical cystectomy (RC) and explore possible risk factors in a nationwide population-based observational registry based study. Patients and Methods: Women undergoing RC for urinary bladder cancer in Sweden, from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2019, were identified within national registries. Women with any
Research on birds suggests that extreme weather events during development may have long-lasting consequences on form and function. The underlying cellular mechanisms mediating such phenotypic effects are poorly studied. We raised Japanese quail in warm (30°C) or cold (10°C) temperatures from hatching until adulthood and then measured mitochondrial metabolism in intact blood cells at representative
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature-based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales of biodiversity recovery are not well studied
Coastal eutrophication results from increased riverine loads of inorganic nutrients, including phosphorus (P), which may co-occur with increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) loading. These DOC molecules are often pigmented, causing water darkening, but they also contain dissolved organic P (DOP), which could exacerbate eutrophication. However, it is unclear how the bioavailable DOP (BDOP) pool r
Improving the catalytic performance in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin oils to produce liquid fuels, while meeting industrial requirements, is important for addressing current environmental challenges. In the present study, the promoting effects of noble metals (Pd, Pt, and Ir) on the performance of the Ni–Mo/CeLa/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated in the HDO of a lignin-derived pyrolysis oil
Historical archaeology in Scandinavia is an expand- ing field, but despite its global nature, the discipline is trapped in methodological nationalism. The early modern and modern societies are generally studied us- ing the current national borders even though the ma- terial culture should not be constrained in this way. By illustrating with both theoretical and empirical ex- amples, the objective
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a major source of macronutrients to freshwaters, yet it has variable and poorly understood bioavailability. Because intrinsic variation in bioavailability is caused by chemical structures of organic nutrients, DOM composition data should improve predictions of bioavailable resource pool sizes. We hypothesized that bioavailable organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) f
Numerous studies have investigated microbial adaptation to increasing soil temperature, but limitations in experimental design hinder comprehensive understanding. These include short-term laboratory studies with constant environmental conditions and field studies with few distinct temperature treatments. Here, we utilized a long-term natural soil geothermal gradient in Aotearoa, New Zealand, rangi
