Summary: Granule size is a crucial factor affecting the functional properties and applicability of starch. This review critically evaluates the biological and environmental factors influencing starch granule size, as well as the methods for separation and measurement. Furthermore, the structure and properties of starch based on different granule sizes are elucidated by highlighting typical applications.

Summary: Historical records indicate that ancient farmers did not select against awns on wheat until the last millennium. Our study on the evolution and domestication of wheat awns reveals that awns can increase grain weight directly or indirectly, but at the expense of grain number, leading to inconsistent effects on yield across different environments.

Summary: Flexibility aggregation plays a crucial role in integrating renewable energy into the energy system, but new entrants may struggle with inadequate bidding size. To overcome this challenge, diversifying revenue streams and introducing leasing options for flexible prosumers prove to be effective strategies.

Summary: This paper examines the crisis of modernism and the rise of postmodern perspectives in the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on the decline of human agency in social science understanding as a result. It offers an alternative conception of human agency and argues against the prevailing social science worldview.

Summary: Food is more than just energy and nutrients, it also fulfills vital needs and pleasure. Food habits are influenced by various factors, from sensorial stimuli to marketing campaigns promoting unhealthy options. Changes in the food system are driven by policies and consumer concerns. Food composition databases are valuable resources for addressing human nutrient needs and guiding innovation in foods.

Summary: Recent therapeutic advances have increased the need for accurate diagnosis of the underlying causes of dementia. This review emphasizes the clinical recognition of limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), which affects approximately one-quarter of older adults and is often mistaken for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although AD and LATE can co-occur, they differ in the protein aggregates driving neuropathology. This review discusses the signs, symptoms, diagnostic testing, and potential treatment implications of LATE.

Summary: The research analyzed microbial communities in the Three Gorges Reservoir, revealing differences and coalescence levels between water and sediment microbial communities. Sediment communities were found to be more diverse than water communities, with strong intra-medium coalescence and weak inter-medium coalescence observed. The study identified 50 keystone species showing stronger coalescence and forming an accumulating pattern from upstream to downstream, emphasizing their importance in the ecological network.

Summary: This study discussed the potential of reducing alcoholic strength to decrease consumption and alcohol-related harm. Statistical modelling was used to estimate its potential in six European countries, calculate the necessary increase in taxation, and estimate the mortality gains. The results showed the high public health potential of reducing alcoholic strength, but the methods to achieve this were not clear, and the alcohol industry showed no inclination towards large-scale reformulation. The introduction of low-alcohol beverages had some impact, but new taxation initiatives are needed.

Summary: Teaching in vocational-technical schools can be challenging and stressful. The motivation and well-being of teachers are crucial for their job performance and overall success. Mindfulness has been found to be an effective technique in reducing stress and increasing motivation and well-being. However, few studies have explored the role of mindfulness in vocational-technical teachers' motivation and well-being.

Summary: Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass, strength and function, is common in older adults and has various negative impacts on health. There are multiple definitions for sarcopenia, causing confusion in diagnosis. Resistance training is an effective approach to improve sarcopenia. Emphasis should be placed on optimizing training methods and long-term adherence rather than modifying sarcopenia definitions.

Summary: Interconnected computers and software systems have become essential in people's lives, making software quality research increasingly important. Previous attempts at synthesizing knowledge in this field focused on single aspects and lacked a holistic structure. By analyzing 15,468 publications using synthetic content analysis, we identified six themes in software quality research.

Summary: Children who received PDA drug treatment, including those who also had surgery, had the same risk of moderate to severe NDI or lower FSIQ as untreated children. However, children who had primary PDA surgery faced increased risks of NDI, with an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 1.62 and a lower adjusted mean difference FSIQ of -7.1. Surgery at less than 10 days of life was associated with a significantly increased risk of moderate to severe NDI and lower FSIQ than surgery after 20 days.

Summary: This study investigated the association between travel time to delivery units and unplanned out-of-hospital births in Sweden. The findings suggest that as travel time increases, the risk of unplanned out-of-hospital births also increases, potentially leading to higher infant mortality rates.

Summary: The study assessed the birth prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) in Sweden over a half-century and found a significant increase in the number of cases, with the largest increase observed among patients with simple defects. Overall, cardiac interventions decreased, but interventions for the most complex CHD groups increased.

Summary: Background: Children with obesity have an increased risk of cardiometabolic risk factors, but not all children carry a similar risk. Perinatal factors, i.e., gestational age (GA) and birth weight for GA, may affect the risk for metabolic complications. However, there are conflicting data whether the association between birth size and cardiometabolic risk factors is independent among children with obesity. Moreover, differential effects of GA and birth weight for GA on cardiometabolic risk factors in pediatric obesity are still unexplored. We aimed to investigate the association between birth weight for GA and cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity and to assess whether the association is modified by prematurity.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and characteristics of inpatient neonatal adverse events in a Swedish setting. A retrospective record review was performed using a trigger tool by registered nurses and a neonatologist at a University Hospital. The results showed that adverse events were common in neonatal care, with a high rate of preventable events occurring during the first week of admission.

Summary: This study investigates the potential risk factors for the increased incidence of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in Swedish extremely preterm infants. The results show a higher incidence of NEC in recent years, especially in cases occurring after 7 days of life. The increase in NEC is partly explained by increased survival rates in extremely preterm infants.

Summary: The study aims to describe maternal, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes in expectantly managed triplet pregnancies in Sweden. The study found that neonatal survival rate was high in expectantly managed triplet pregnancies, with almost all infants being liveborn and a low rate of severe neonatal morbidity and mortality. Triplet pregnancies involving fetal reduction had higher gestational age at birth and higher birthweight.

Summary: This study found no association between Apgar scores and long-term outcomes in infants born extremely preterm (EPT). This may be due to high interobserver variability in Apgar scoring, poorer response to resuscitation after birth among EPT infants, and the influence of more deleterious exposures in the neonatal intensive care unit or socioeconomic factors on outcomes during the first 5 years of life.
