Persistence, Intrusive Memories, and the Seventh Seal

In Schacter (2022), the author outlines the considerable progress that has been made in characterizing the impact of five (of the seven) sins of memory; specifically, transience, absentmindedness, misattribution, suggestibility, and persistence. As in his influential book, The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers (Schacter, 2001, 2021), Schacter notes that this last sin of pers

An integrated model for criminal responsibility in action: How Swedish criminal law operates without an insanity defence

In nearly all criminal justice systems, a defendant’s severe mental disorder can trigger special rules that excuse or exempt the defendant. Swedish criminal law adopts an alternative approach that considers all defendants to be equal in terms of accountability, or capacity for responsibility, and lacks any rules that excuse or exempt a defendant with a severe mental disorder or disability. This pa

Conservation biological control in agricultural landscapes at the interface between ecology and evolution : The importance of land-use-mediated bottom-up ecological effects and eco-evolutionary dynamics

Conservation biological control in agricultural landscapes aims to promote natural enemy populations to mitigate short and long-term pest damage on crops. However, natural enemy populations in agricultural landscapes typically rely on crop pests and non-pest prey populations resulting in complex trait- dependent ecological interactions. Such communities, of pests, non-pest prey, and natural enemie

The artful early instruments of Peter Apianus : Ein kunstlich Instrument of 1524, its precursors and its successors

In 1524, Petrus Apianus published two closely related works—one the Latin Cosmographicus liber, aimed at an educated audience of international readers, and the other, Ein kunstlich Instrument, a shorter, more practical book for those who could read German but had no Latin. Both books nevertheless make use of most of the same instruments, including Apianus’ early volvelles. Most of these instrument

Anticipating the impact of glaciers, landslides and extreme weather events on vulnerable hydropower projects and the development of an integrated multi-hazard warning system (IMWS)

The Himalayan river basins offer great potential for hydropower development, but they are also vulnerable to various hazards such as debris flows, landslides, flash floods, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and landslide lake outburst floods (LLOFs). Despite the regional and global significance of these hazards, there is a lack of information and data on different aspects, including meteorolog

Hematological and renal toxicity in mice after three cycles of high activity [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 with or without human α1-microglobulin

Radioligand therapy with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 can be used to prolong life and reduce tumor burden in terminally ill castration resistant prostate cancer patients. Still, accumulation in healthy tissue limits the activity that can be administered. Therefore, fractionated therapy is used to lower toxicity. However, there might be a need to reduce toxicity even further with e.g. radioprotectors. The ai

Childhood screening for type 1 diabetes comparing automated multiplex Antibody Detection by Agglutination-PCR (ADAP) with single plex islet autoantibody radiobinding assays

BACKGROUND: Two or more autoantibodies against either insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), islet antigen-2 (IA-2A) or zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A) denote stage 1 (normoglycemia) or stage 2 (dysglycemia) type 1 diabetes prior to stage 3 type 1 diabetes. Automated multiplex Antibody Detection by Agglutination-PCR (ADAP) assays in two laboratories were compared to single plex radiobinding

PDE5 inhibition mitigates heart failure in hyperlipidemia

PDE5 inhibitors was reported to play a protective role in both regulating lipid metabolism and reducing heart failure (HF). This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness of PDE5 inhibitors against hyperlipidemia-related HF by combining evidence from population-based study and animal models. The nationwide cohort study found that post-diagnostic use of PDE5 inhibitors was associated with a signific

Industry Practices for Challenging Autonomous Driving Systems with Critical Scenarios

Testing autonomous driving systems for safety and reliability is essential, yet complex. A primary challenge is identifying relevant test scenarios, especially the critical ones that may expose hazards or harm to autonomous vehicles and other road users. Although numerous approaches and tools for critical scenario identification are proposed, the industry practices for selection, implementation, a

Children with palliative care needs - the landscape of the nordic countries

BACKGROUND: To strengthen palliative care for children in the Nordic countries, an updated status of current needs, resources, clinical services, education, and research is necessary to align and consolidate future research. A Nordic research collaboration initiative for children with palliative care needs was assembled in 2023. Building on this initiative, this paper presents an overview of pedia

Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake and Hesitancy among Healthcare Workers in Tanzania : A Mixed-Methods Study

The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents a major threat to public health but can be prevented by safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccine acceptance among healthcare workers (HCWs) is essential to promote uptake. This study, aimed to determine the COVID-19 vaccination uptake and hesitancy and its associated factors among HCWs in Tanzania. We employed a convergent-parallel mixed-

Prevalence of Work-Related Anxiety during the COVID-19 Pandemic : A Cross-Sectional Study

This cross-sectional study investigates the shifts in anxiety levels among Swedish employees throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, with data gathered in 2016, 2018, and 2020. Work-related anxiety was assessed through two metrics: General Work Anxiety (WA) and Work Performance Anxiety (WPA). Overall, there was a decline in both average WA and WPA over the five-year period. However, this trend did not a
