B lymphopoiesis is orchestrated by lineage-specific transcription factors. In B cell progenitors, lineage commitment is mediated by Pax5, which is commonly mutated in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Despite its essential role in immunity, the mechanisms regulating Pax5 function remain largely unknown. Here, we found that the NAD+-dependent enzyme SIRT7 coordinates B cell development through d
The Swedish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (SCND) fought the military’s plans to acquire Swedish nuclear weapons and protested the nuclear arms race, 1961–1967. This article presents SCND’s ideological orientation by focusing on temporalities. SCND saw the Second World War as a decisive event and tried to avert a crisis and a dystopia by manifesting remembrance of past nuclear detonations, and b
Background: Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment experienced by adults. Many tropical satyrine butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) are seasonally polyphenic and produce distinct wet- and dry-season form adults, providing tight environment-phenotype matching in seasonal environmen
The year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden. This rupture involved both a radical change in refugee policy and practice, and a rupture in the long-held collective self-image of Sweden as a country with generous reception and integration policies (Scarpa & Schierup 2018). This article responds to the question of how social wThe year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden.

Scholarship in peace and conflict studies is paying increasing attention to the role of the environment for conflict transformation and peacebuilding. However, a closer analysis on how different understandings of “nature” implicate policy proposals and approaches to peacebuilding is lacking. In this study, we provide a critical reflection on the diverse understandings and valuations of nature at t
The Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction about 66 Ma ago was one of Earth’s largest mass extinction events. The demise of calcifiers, among others, influenced biogeochemical cycles and changed the conditions for carbonate depo sition in the global ocean. This study addresses the sedimentology and carbonate microfacies of the Cerithium Limestone Member of the Rødvig Formation within the ren
In everyday activities where continuous visual awareness is critical such as driving, several cognitive processes pertaining to visual attention are of the essence, for instance, change detection, anticipation, monitoring, etc. Research suggests that environmental load and task difficulty contribute to failures in visual perception that can be essential for detecting and reacting to safety-critica
Background: Incorporating knowledge about human behaviour and the effect of the environment is a major goal for the design and engineering of human-centred autonomous vehicles. Systems that aim to establish a common interaction ground with humans require systematic modelling of empirically established behavioural norms customised to specific contexts. Aims: Focusing on aspects pertaining to visual
This article presents preliminary findings from a design ethnographic study examining pelvic floor care practices from the perspective of patients with pelvic floor injuries caused by birth treated at the continence clinic in Sundsvall's Hospital, Sweden. The aim is to enhance our understanding of women's experiences of pelvic floor injury, provide insights into living with pelvic floor injury, an
We derive analytical expressions to describe how light is frequency-shifted when interacting with ultrasound within scattering media, due to the modulation of the refractive index induced by the ultrasound pressure waves. The model is validated through Monte Carlo simulations, works for high ultrasound pressures, and allows for many simultaneous ultrasound waves or frequency components, which is i
