China’s “Ugly-Cute” Soft Power Wave: What’s Behind Its Explosive Popularity Surpassing Japan and South Korea?

Årets rapport innehåller totalt 15 rekommendationer inom tre områden: Kommunen arbetssätt, Naturbaserade lösningar och att Säkra energisystemet. Här presenteras förslagen i sammanfattad form och de mer detaljerade förslagen återfinns under respektive område i rapporten.1. En mer effektiv klimatanpassningRådet föreslår att kommunen bör utveckla arbetssätt för att främja en mer effektiv klimatanpass

This study explores the characteristics of individuals affiliated with violent extremist milieus in Sweden, focusing on far-right, far-left, and Islamic extremist milieus. Firstly, by using a compilation of law enforcement and other Swedish population registers, we describe these milieus along a range of demographic, socioeconomic, criminal, mental health, and familial indicators. We then compare

Background: Biomarkers serve as a quantitative measure of brain injury and may predict cognitive outcome after cardiac arrest. This study investigates the association and predictive accuracy of acute changes in Alzheimer disease-associated biomarkers to cognitive outcome in cardiac arrest survivors.Methods: Retrospective study of the Target Temperature Management after Out-of-Hospital cardiac arreBackground: Biomarkers serve as a quantitative measure of brain injury and may predict cognitive outcome after cardiac arrest.

Background: Many people ageing with late effects of polio (LEoP) experience new or increased impairments which could negatively influence daily life. Currently, there is limited knowledge how LEoP-related impairments change over time. Objectives: To assess how various self-reported impairments change over 10 years among people with LEoP, and explore factors associated with the changes. Methods: Th

Background: Portal vein embolization (PVE) may be used to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) before major hepatectomy. The influence of hyperbilirubinemia on FLR hypertrophy after PVE is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare FLR hypertrophy after PVE between patients with and without elevated P-bilirubin. Materials/methods: This is a Scandinavian retrospective cohor

An Fe(III)-NHC complex has been employed for the green light driven catalysis of base-promoted homolytic aromatic substitution (BHAS) reactions. Tributylamine was used as a sacrificial electron donor, together with potassium carbonate as base in dimethyl sulfoxide as solvent. In contrast to previously studied photocatalysts, the excited Fe(III)-NHC complex is not reducing the arylhalide substrates

Background: Combination lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) after myocardial infarction (MI) achieves lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and better cardiovascular outcomes vs statin monotherapy. As a result, global guidelines recommend lower LDL-C but, paradoxically, advise treatment through a stepwise approach. Yet the need for combination therapy is inevitable as <20% of patients

Spin-orbit torque (SOT) magnetization switching is crucial for next-generation energy-efficient spintronic technologies. The recent discovery of van der Waals (vdW) magnets holds promise for such SOT phenomena because of their tunable magnetic properties. However, a demonstration of energy-efficient and field-free SOT switching of vdW magnets is required for their potential applications. Here, we

The success of cancer immunotherapy depends on the priming of tumor-specific T and B lymphocytes. However, tumor cells often downregulate antigen presentation and mount an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which excludes immunogenic cells and hinders broad success of cancer immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) are cr

Non-Hermitian physics, studying systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, reveals unique phenomena not present in Hermitian systems. Unlike Hermitian systems, non-Hermitian systems have complex eigenvalues, making their effects less directly observable. Recently, significant efforts have been devoted to incorporating the non-Hermitian effects into condensed matter physics. However, progress

Road verges can harbour a diversity of flowering plants and may be useful foraging habitats for pollinating insects in landscapes where flower-rich habitats are scarce. Targeted management of road verges can further enhance flower abundance, thereby potentially benefitting flower-visiting insects. However, traffic on the adjacent road could pose a risk, such that flower-rich road verges instead ac

Labile organic carbon is a major nutrient, controlling microbial activity in aquatic ecosystems and contributing to the global cycling of carbon. During the production and distribution of drinking water, labile carbon fractions often escape treatment, which threatens water quality and biostability. This study proposes and compares two rapid methods for monitoring the production and removal of labi

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prototype). The objectives are as follows:. The aim of this scoping review is to map the quantitative literature about in-hospital motor interventions used to reduce neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. We will collate information about the features, delivery mechanisms, objectives, providers, underlying theoretical frameworks, hyp
