In the context of natural hazard risk quantification and modeling of hazard interactions, some literature separates “Level I” (or occurrence) interactions from “Level II” (or consequence) interactions. The Level I interactions occur inherently due to the nature of the hazards, independently of the presence of physical assets. In such cases, one hazard event triggers or modifies the occurrence of a

The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) has pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic effects. Low plasma levels of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), a decoy receptor for RAGE ligands, have been associated with increased risk for major adverse coronary events (MACE) in the general population. We performed a genome-wide association study to identify genetic determinants of plasma sRAGE in 4338 indivi

After the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash, the Islamic Republic of Iran announced new presidential elections. The Guardian Council, a key body loyal to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, rigorously vetted and excluded candidates, ensuring only regime-approved individuals could run. The superficial conservative versus reformist narrative highlights that approved candidates, including the so-

BACKGROUND: Evidence-practice gaps exist in urology. We previously surveyed European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines for strong recommendations underpinned by high-certainty evidence that impact patient experience for which practice variations were suspected. The recommendation "Do not offer neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) before surgery for patients with prostate cancer" wa

The Scania and Blekinge Court of Appeal in southern Sweden was established by King Charles XIV John in 1821. The iconography used during its period in Kristianstad, until it moved to Malmö in 1917, provides an excellent example of ‘power in images’, highlighting the transition from neoclassicism to national romanticism and finally modernity.In the text, I discuss the choices of symbols that were m

Causal discovery outputs a causal structure, represented by a graph, from observed data. For time series data, there is a variety of methods, however, it is difficult to evaluate these on real data as realistic use cases very rarely come with a known causal graph to which output can be compared. In this paper, we present a dataset from an industrial subsystem at the European Spallation Source alon

Background: Communication is a key tool in the nursing profession. It is known that listeners are sensitive to the speaker's voice and interpret the speaker's intentions primarily from the non-verbal signal conveyed.

This study explores how victims and perpetrators of partner violence in heterosexual relationships are perceived and constructed on Swedish internet forums, depending on perceived gender. Data was collected from a discussion forum for various everyday topics. A discourse analysis was conducted using critical discourse psychology, Foucault's concept of power, and Hirdman's gender system the

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature, is a valuable renewable resource due to its high phenolic compound content. Utilizing depolymerized lignin for the bioproduction of valuable industrial precursors such as muconic acid has garnered significant attention. In this study, several genetically modified strains of Pseudomonas putida were constructed to bioconvert vanillin and guaiacol
