Protests against various transition projects, including both infrastructure and policy changes, are not uncommon and have been observed in diverse contexts. However, protests specifically against Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) implementation remain understudied. This study examines the local media debate surrounding a BRT project in Örebro, Sweden, with a focus on how proponents and opponents use argumen

In Westerhus on the island of Frösö in Jämtland the childhood was a stressful period with high mortality. In this study the living conditions of the children are discussed on the basis of the age distribution of infants, the prevalence of enamel hypoplasia and the tooth size of deciduous and permanent teeth. Gejvall’s age distribution of infants dying in the neonatal and the postneonatal periods w

This article presents a taxonomy of altered states of consciousness, primarily based on their central phenomenological features. Following taxonomic principles and a modified Delphi methodology, a multidisciplinary, international group identified eight distinct phenomenological/behavioral states (some with subcategories): proto and transitional, delirium, minimal to no awareness, experiential deta

Solar drying technologies have emerged as efficient and user-friendly solutions for food drying processes, particularly in regions with limited access to electricity and high post-harvest losses. These technologies offer a sustainable alternative to conventional drying methods. However, one of the key challenges limiting their effectiveness is the non-homogeneous airflow inside the drying chamber,

This work presents a new approach to the autotuning strategy for controlling pH in raceway reactors, based on classical relay-based autotuning principles. A relay applied to reference method is proposed that allows seamless integration into existing control loops without the need for manual recalibration across seasons or operator intervention. Two different models were identified: first-order wit

The recycling and reuse of trace uranium from spent nuclear fuel is of great significance for the safety management of the nuclear fuel cycle. However, stabilization of low-valent uranium has always been a challenge due to the ultraoxidizable nature of uranium ions, which remains relatively uncharted territory in spent fuel treatment. In the current study, U4+ was immobilized in Cs2UCl6 single cry

This report examines the evolving political discourse in Ireland in the lead-up to the 2024 local, general and European elections, focusing on the potential rise of far-right populism. Traditionally dominated by centrist parties, and with an increasingly progressive trajectory of referendums, Ireland has long been viewed as an exception to the European trend of far-right mobilisation. However, rec

PrologMikrovågs-hypertermi och strålbehandling (1980–1990)Min tidiga forskning inom medicinsk strålningsfysik ledde till kombinerad behandling av bröstcancer-recidiv med mikrovågsinducerad hypertermi och lågdos strålning (30 Gy). Kliniska försök inleddes med patienter som tidigare fått full stråldos (60 Gy). Utrustningen visades upp för kung Carl XVI Gustaf och drottning Silvia på Forskningens DagThis story has its origin in my presentation at the 1983 Research Day in Lund, to HM King XIV Gustav on our development of microwave-induced hyperthermia treatment of breast cancer recurrence, which brought me together with Professor Leif G. Salford, whose presentation was next to mine. Shortly before the turn of the millennium, Leif Salford initiated a clinical trial "Brain Immune Gene Tumour The

For the first time, an IP created in China has become a global consumer craze. And it happened entirely without central planning.

We investigated the presence of the fecal indicator bacteria Escherichia coli, and other taxa associated with sewage communities in coastal sediments, near beaches with reported poor bathing water quality, focusing on the influence of effluent from a local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and combined sewer overflows (CSO). Using a three-year dataset, we found that treated wastewater effluent is

New methods and theoretical approaches to the study ofSamizdat - self-publishing and autonomous circulation of textsin the Soviet Union - have been challenging the traditionalviews that portray it as a mere form of dissident activity.Recently, a study by Historian Ann Komaromi classified it as anextra Gutenberg culture, distinct from “print culture” becauseit lacks its characteristics of standardi

Former president Yoon Suk-yeol’s martial law attempt, impeachment and the June 2025 presidential election exposed South Korea’s rising far-right — rooted in economic inequality, generational and gender divides and religious nationalism. Liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung won the election, but far-right forces remain potent. The Lee administration and South Korean citizens now must navigate domestic p

Deuteron evaporation was observed from the N = Z compound nuclei 52Fe, 56Ni, and 64Ge in an experiment conducted at Argonne National Laboratory, USA. The experiment included a novel combination of two highly pixelated double-sided Si-strip detectors inside the Microball charged-particle detection array, allowing for unequivocal discrimination of evaporated deuterons from protons and α particles. I

The launch of the DeepSeek R1 chatbot in early 2025 prompted a flurry of responses. In Asia, it touched off discussions about gaining ground against big tech and national AI strategies. The reactions offer a window onto thinking in the region about technology policy, US-China rivalry, and international cooperation.

BACKGROUND: Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Prospective real-world data are scarce.OBJECTIVES: To collect data on clinical outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and fatigue during treatment with tofacitinib.DESIGN: This is a prospective observational multicentre study in Sweden. In this analysis, outcomes at weeks 2, 8 and

The emission spectra from the ablation of airborne alumina nanoparticles by a 532 nm nanosecond pulsed laser are investigated to clarify the underlying mechanism and the applicability of different laser diagnostic techniques such as the laser-induced incandescence (LII) and the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The particles were observed to be completely ablated above the laser fluence
