Decades of research have greatly improved our understanding of intrinsic human brain organization in terms of functional networks and the transmodal hubs within the cortex at which they converge. However, substrates of multinetwork integration in the human subcortex are relatively uncharted. Here, we leveraged recent advances in subcortical atlasing and ultra-high field (7 T) imaging optimized for ...

Non-technical summary. Scenarios compatible with the Paris agreement’s temperature goal of 1.5 °C involve carbon dioxide removal measures – measures that actively remove CO₂ from the atmosphere – on a massive scale. Such large-scale implementations raise significant ethical problems. Van Vuuren et al. (2018), as well as the current IPCC scenarios, show that reduction in energy and or ...

It has been a paradigm shift for the aquaculture industry in the current parallel era of circular economy, green shift, and Industry 4.0. As one of the world’s largest industries with a long-lasting and significant influence on global prosperity, national economy, food safety, and public health, the importance of sustainability of the aquaculture industry cannot be underestimated. One of the challenges ...

Background: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, data on the proportion of incident VTEs attributed to overweight and obesity in the general population are limited.<p> <p>Objective: To investigate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of VTE due to overweight and obesity in a population-based cohort with repeated measurements of body mass index ...

Because of a spring predictability barrier, the seasonal forecast skill of Arctic summer sea ice is limited by the availability of melt-season sea ice thickness (SIT) observations. The first year-round SIT observations, retrieved from CryoSat-2 from 2011 to 2020, are assimilated into the GFDL ocean–sea ice model. The model's SIT anomaly field is brought into significantly better agreement with the ...

Continued advancements in environmental DNA (eDNA) research have made it possible to access intraspecific variation from eDNA samples, opening new opportunities to expand non-invasive genetic studies of wildlife populations. However, the use of eDNA samples for individual genotyping, as typically performed in non-invasive genetics, still remains elusive. We present successful individual genotyping ...

Høyesterett har endelig tatt stilling til den geografiske rekkevidden av Svalbardtraktaten. Rettens konklusjon er at traktaten ikke gjelder utenfor territorialfarvannet. Dommen er grundig og pedagogisk oppbygd og vil egne seg vel som introduksjon til folkerettslig metodelære. Høyesteretts dom avgjør imidlertid ikke tvisten rundt traktatens anvendelsesområde, fordi en slik nasjonal rettsavgjørelse ...

This paper is devoted to investigating the sequence of some linear functionals in the space BV of finite variation functions. We prove that under certain conditions this sequence is bounded. We also prove that this result is sharp. In particular, the obtained results can be used to study convergence of some general Fourier series. Moreover, the obtained conditions seem to be new and useful also for ...
