The abundance and star formation histories of satellites of Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies are linked to their hosts' assembly histories. To explore this connection, we use the PARADIGM suite of zoom-in hydrodynamical simulations of MW-mass haloes, evolving the same initial conditions spanning various halo assembly histories with the VINTERGATAN and IllustrisTNG models. Our VINTERGATAN simulations o
Relations between different core-particle coupling models based on the Bohr Hamiltonian are discussed, and in particular the γ-unstable and rigid 30° triaxial cores are compared quantitatively. A new formulation is developed employing a rigid triaxial rotor core and the strong-coupling basis. Within the limitations imposed by this model core, it is equally applicable in the limits of small and ext
Background: This study aimed to describe eating patterns among individuals with overweight and obesity and to investigate associations between eating patterns and anthropometric measures, including body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, and blood pressure. Methods: This study enrolled a cohort of adults with overweight or obesity (n = 176) participating in a clinical trial focused on weigh
This thesis investigates everyday misrecognition of Roma flower-sellers in Istanbul’s Ataşehir district, focusing on how they navigate ethnically mixed neighborhoods and workplaces. Drawing on Honneth’s recognition theory, Giles’s critique, and Gramsci’s cultural hegemony, it examines how racialization and normative discrimination shape daily interactions. Based on one month of ethnographic fieldw
Hyperfine structure measurements have been performed in some neutron-deficient gold isotopes, using on-line atomic-beam magnetic resonance (ABMR) techniques at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. The following results have been obtained: 185Au, I = 5/2; 187Au, Δv = 44.35(60) GHz, μ = 0.72(7) n.m. and 188Au, Δv = ± 2992(30) MHz. A discussion of the influence of the hyperfine anomaly is included. With due re
Shared e-scooters (SEs) are increasingly integrated into urban mobility systems, yet their role in commuting and contribution to sustainable transport remain insufficiently understood. This study examines SE commuting patterns in Malmo, Sweden, focusing on their use as both a first-/last-mile connection to public transport and a primary commuting mode. Using pre-pandemic trip data from a major SE
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates high-quality atmospheric greenhouse gas observations globally and provides these observations through the WMO World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG) supported by Japan Meteorological Agency. The WDCGG and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) analyse these measurements using different
The market for home deliveries of food and groceries has been growing in the last years, and with it so have the associated environmental impacts: emissions from the delivery routes, energy for the cold chain and packaging waste are some of the main concerns. The purpose of this paper is to contribute with knowledge to support the development and implementation of circular retail supply chains, wi
Peatlands are often considered carbon pools as they are critical components of the carbon cycle process. Evaluating conditions of the peatlands is important for climate change impact studies as there is a close correlation between the peat accumulation, carbon sequestration, and water depth of the peatlands. Hence, accurate and continuous monitoring of their conditions is crucial to evaluate carbo
Understanding tendon mechanobiology is important for gaining insight into the development of tendon pathology and subsequent repair processes. The aim of this study was to investigate how experimentally observed mechanobiological adaptation of rat Achilles tendons translate to changes in constitutive mechanical properties and biomechanical behavior. In addition, we assessed the ability of the mode
Motivation can be a decisive factor in students’ learning of a foreign language. At the same time, motivation is complex, dynamic, and context sensitive (Papi & Hiver, 2020). Language teachers encounter a wide spectrum of motivational profiles among their students and need to understand the motivation process to find strategies to address students' varying levels of motivation at a given time.
Delignification is a critical step of the wood fractionation process in a biorefinery. It directly influences the purity of lignin and aids in breaking bonds within lignin and lignin–carbohydrate complexes surrounding cellulose. The recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose poses challenges in fractionating the material, notably during delignification. Recent progress in understanding lignin’s phy
Satellite remote sensing offers global-scale soil moisture (SM) estimation to assess water and energy cycles. However, the coarse resolution of SM products from microwave remote sensing is unsuitable for fine-scale analysis. This study explored spatial downscaling methods to refine the 0.25° ESA CCI SM product to a 1-km resolution, utilizing optical and thermal remote sensing data, including the n
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) mainly affects renal arteries. Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) and surgery are effective treatments, but longtime follow-up is lacking. Retrospective follow-up for 7.0 +/- 4.7 years of 69 consecutive patients ( age 44 +/- 13 years) treated for hypertension due to FMD, 59 patients underwent PTRA and eight patients surgery. In two patients no PTRA was
Background The alpha-emitter radium-223 (Ra-223) is a bone-seeking radionuclide studied as a new treatment for patients with bone metastases from hormone-refractory prostate cancer. We aimed to study mature outcomes from a randomised, multicentre, phase II study of Ra-223. Methods Patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer and bone pain needing external-beam radiotherapy were assigned to fou
Photoactivation of photosystem II has been studied in the FUD 39 mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that lacks the 23 kDa extrinsic subunit of photosystem II. We have taken advantage of the slow photoactivation rate of FUD 39, earlier demonstrated in Rova, E. M., et al. [(1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 28918-28924], to study events in photosystem II during intermediate stages of the process. By measur
The flora of 17 islets was studied during the period 1968-2000, with thorough inventories from 1971. At each visit the species present and their population sizes were noted. The flora of the smallest islets of hard rock consisted mainly of perennials, and remained unchanged in terms of species present throughout the period of study. In the larger and more complex islets the major part of the flora
