The paper investigates the use of PPs, specifically prepositions and the case marking on their DP arguments, in moribund North American (heritage) Icelandic (NAmIce), using data from a map task experiment. Since prepositional phrases combine semantic properties with morpho-syntactic properties, PPs allow us to investigate the relative vulnerability of both domains at once. Our results show that wh

Concerns about the degradation of forests in Sweden have given rise to several sustainability initiatives, coming both from the private and the public sector. Forest certification established itself in a Swedish context in the 1990s and its uptake has coincided with developments in public policy. By applying Cashore et al. 's (2021) theoretical and conceptual framework, highlighting the intera

It is becoming increasingly clear that we cannot solve the ecological and social challenges of our century through technological progress alone, but that extensive changes to our social coexistence are required. Consequently, psychology as a science of individual experience, thought and behavior also plays a role in this socio-ecological transformation. In the first two lectures, we will introduce

Navigating complex environments requires Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous systems to perform trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance in realtime. While many control strategies have effectively utilized linear approximations, addressing the non-linear dynamics of UAV, especially in obstacle-dense environments, remains a key challenge that requires further research. This paper intro

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

Addressing the risks of cyanobacterial blooms and toxin production under ongoing and accelerating eutrophication and climate warming is crucial for both water ecosystem services and human health. Therefore, we here explored the interactive effects of eutrophication and warming on freshwater ecosystems, focusing on Microcystis and its cyanotoxin production. We employed a large-scale mesocosm system

Background. Kidney involvement is common in anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and the prognosis is determined by the severity of kidney damage. This study focused on long-term kidney outcomes, defining possible risk factors and comparing the performance of three different histological classifications to predict outcomes for patients with AAV. Methods. The dataset inclu

Despite an advanced understanding of disease mechanisms, the current therapeutic regimen fails to cure most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the present study, we address the role of ribosome assembly in leukemia cell function. We apply patient datasets and murine models to demonstrate that immature leukemia cells in mixed-lineage leukemia-rearranged AML are characterized by relative

The field of oncobiology is witnessing rapid progress, with numerous ongoing studies dedicated to comprehending the intricate mechanisms underlying cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic interventions. Despite significant strides, there remains a substantial gap in fully understanding the multifaceted factors driving cancer development and trajectory. This chapter delves into the imperati

Seaweeds (macroalgae) are an attractive resource for diverse microbial- and enzymatic production processes. They are abundant, underutilized, cheap, and rich in carbohydrates, and therefore have the potential to be used as a source of mono- or oligosaccharides, and as substrates for industrial fermentation processes. Many seaweed polysaccharides, including the sulfated polysaccharides ulvan and fu

[Background] The game industry faces fierce competition and games are developed on short deadlines and tight budgets. Continuously testing and experimenting with new ideas and features is essential in validating and guiding development toward market viability and success. Such continuous experimentation (CE) requires user data, which is often limited in early development stages. This challenge is

On May 26, 2021, the European Medical Device Regulation (EU-MDR) entered into effect resulting in a major shift in the requirements for assessment of medical devices in Europe. The EU-MDR Cardiovascular Collaboratory (EU-MCVC) was founded to contribute to the development of faster, more efficient, and more effective pathways for innovation of cardiac medical devices. A registry is an organized sys

As the impact of AI is difficult to assess by a single group, policymakers should prioritize societal and environmental well being and seek advice from interdisciplinary groups focusing on ethical aspects, responsibility, and transparency in the development of algorithms.

At the 3 GeV ring of the MAX IV Laboratory, a fourth-generation ring-based synchrotron light source, an asymmetric influence of the sign of the amplitude-dependent tune shift (ADTS) on the transverse mode-coupling instability has been observed. Measurements of the instability, in dedicated single-bunch experiments at low chromaticity, revealed a significant dependence of the dynamics of the instab

Superconductivity and cryogenics were recognized as necessary to the European Spallation Source (ESS) project from its earliest days. This chapter provides a highlevel overview of the ESS cryogenics system and describes the reasoning behind early conceptual design choices. Some requirements for the cryogenic system did change over time and that evolution is discussed. In addition, the recruitment

Dedicated optics with extremely short electron bunches enable synchrotron light sources to generate intense coherent THz radiation. The high degree of spatial compression in this so-called low-αc optics entails a complex longitudinal dynamics of the electron bunches, which can be probed studying the fluctuations in the emitted terahertz radiation caused by the microbunching instability ("bursting"

This article summarizes the state of the science on the role of the gut microbiota (GM) in diabetes from a recent international expert forum organized by Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and Diabetologia, which was held at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes 2023 Annual Meeting in Hamburg, Germany. Forum participants included clinicians and basic scientists who are leading investigators in

Quality control of stabilized dredged sediment (DS) presents significant challenges due to its high-water content. Nowadays, many in-situ and laboratory tests have been used to evaluate the quality of treated DS, and the dominant method is 28-day unconfined compressive strength that can be done on undisturbed samples from the field and the laboratory. Due to the waiting period to get results from

Sequential anaerobic/aerobic (A/O) treatment conditions for textile wastewater (WW) are more effective than conventional biological treatment. Anaerobic treatment is essential because anaerobic microbes can first break down complex and recalcitrant compounds, which are difficult to degrade under aerobic conditions. The simpler, more degradable compounds are then further broken down by aerobic micr
