Nocturnal insects have evolved remarkable visual capacities, despite small eyes and tiny brains. They can see colour, control flight and land, react to faint movements in their environment, navigate using dim celestial cues and find their way home after a long and tortuous foraging trip using learned visual landmarks. These impressive visual abilities occur at light levels when only a trickle of p
Open office environments are architectural solutions that are believed to economize the use of office space and facilitate social interactions at work. However, research has shown that employees in open office environments may experience lower job satisfaction, stress reactions, and exhibit poorer performance. Exposure to noise in open office environments may prompt avoidance behaviours such as wo
Background: Health-related quality of life and patient-related outcome measures for patients with cancer have gained increased interest over the last decade. However, few prospective studies with longitudinal data evaluated health-related quality of life in patients with breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate how health-related quality of life changed from the time of diagnosis to 1 year a
Background Ozone is a pollutant known to cause adverse effects on human health. It is formed by reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons under the influence of sunlight. In urban areas ozone is consumed oxidating nitrogen oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Despite the potential to cause adverse health effects, the local spatial distribution of ozone and the relationship between
In this paper, we aim to understand how perceptions of adult learning and continued vocational education and training (CVET) are related to participation in these activities. Specifically, participation within the previous 12 months in different kinds of adult learning and CVET is analysed, distinguishing between (1) formal, (2) non-formal work-related, (3) non-formal non-work-related, and (4) inf
In this report, we analyse attrition at the two most recent data collection points of the longitudinal Swedish project “Deliberate self-harm, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relations in youth”, that collected survey data from the same cohort in 2007 (T1), 2008 (T2), 2017 (T3), and 2023 (T4). We compared T4 responders and non-responders using variables assessed at T1−T3, and T3 responders an
Based on a new deep drilling on southern Gotland (Sweden), this study is the first to document the carbon isotope chemostratigraphy of the Upper Ordovician through lowermost Silurian sedimentary record from the central parts of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The lithological record of the Stora Sutarve core has similarities with adjacent successions in both the Viki core in the East Baltic area and th
The initial Swedish discourse of transnational adoption as a win-win situation has changed over its more than 60-year-long history. This article aims to trace and present some themes in this history, with a particular focus on the public debate and the different narratives that representatives of the adoption triangle—the adoptees, the adoptive parents, and the biological parents—tell when dealing
The handover (HO) procedure is one of the most critical functions in a cellular network driven by measurements of the user channel of the serving and neighboring cells. The success rate of the entire HO procedure is significantly affected by the preparation stage. As massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems with large antenna arrays allow resolving finer details of channel behavior, w
Objective. Despite the growing interest in understanding the role of triggers of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), solutions beyond questionnaires to identify a broader range of triggers remain lacking. This study aims to investigate the relation between triggers detected in wearable-based physiological signals and the occurrence of AF episodes. Approach. Week-long physiological signals were co
Background: Tau-PET is a diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and specificity for discriminating Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia from other neurodegenerative disorders in well-controlled research environments. The role of tau-PET in real-world clinical practice, however, remains to be established. The aim of the TAP-TAU study is therefore to investigate the impact of tau-PET in clinical practic
Flight behaviours of birds have been extensively studied from different angles such as their kinematics, aerodynamics and, more generally, their migration patterns. Nevertheless, much is still unknown about the daily foraging flight activity and behaviour of breeding birds, and potential differences among males and females. The recent development of miniaturized accelerometers allows us a glimpse
Context. To take full advantage of upcoming large-scale spectroscopic surveys, it will be necessary to parameterize millions of stellar spectra in an efficient way. Machine learning methods, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), will be among the main tools geared at achieving this task. Aims. We aim to prepare the groundwork for machine learning techniques for the next generation of sp
Background: Lead exposure is associated with cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis has been hypothesized to be one of the underlying mechanisms behind this association. Aim: To investigate whether lead exposure is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries in a large Swedish population-based cohort. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study using data from t
Teachers in the aesthetic program in upper secondary school in Sweden have identified that there are great opportunities and challenges in teaching and working with students who have EDI as their main instrument. From a student perspective it has relevance to being part of meaningful music education developing their musical identity. Students playing EDI can explore an array of electronical musica
Abstract in FrenchLa question qui m’occupe dans cet article est de savoir si une synagogue du premier siècle, comprise à la fois comme une structure construite à cet effet et une institution formelle d’assemblée, se trouvait autrefois à Capharnaüm sous le site de la dernière synagogue en calcaire. J’évalue la question à frais nouveaux en apportant une réflexion méthodologique dans la perspective dThe question with which I am centrally concerned in this article is whether a first-century synagogue, understood as both a purpose-built structure and a formal institution of assembly, once stood in Capernaum beneath the site of its later limestone synagogue. I assess the question anew by providing methodological reflection from the perspective of Collingwoodian critical historiography. In sectio
