Opin vísindi
Opin vísindi er varðveislusafn vísindaefnis og doktorsritgerða í opnum aðgangi á vegum íslenskra háskóla og Landsbókasafns Íslands - Háskólabókasafns.
Opinn aðgangur að rannsóknaniðurstöðum er í samræmi við 10. gr. laga nr. 3/2003 um opinberan stuðning við vísindarannsóknir sem og kröfur innlendra og erlendra rannsóknasjóða. Markmiðið með opnum aðgangi er að niðurstöður rannsókna séu aðgengilegar sem flestum óhindrað og án endurgjalds á rafrænu formi. Vistun í varðveislusafninu er varanleg og ætlað að tryggja aðgang að vísindaefni íslenskra háskóla í opnum aðgangi um ókomna tíð. Varðveislusafnið Opin vísindi er tengt við rannsóknagáttina IRIS og rannsóknaniðurstöður í opnum aðgangi sem eru skráðar í IRIS eru um leið vistaðar og gerðar aðgengilegar til framtíðar í varðveislusafninu. Með því að safna þessu efni saman í eitt safn verður aðgangur að því einfaldur og þægilegur fyrir alla sem vilja kynna sér það og geta þannig notið þess öfluga vísindastarfs sem fram fer í háskólum landsins.
Varðveislusafnið er OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus samhæft og samrýmist kröfum sem gerðar eru um birtingu rannsóknaniðurstaðna úr verkefnum sem styrkt eru úr evrópsku rannsóknaáætlununum FP7 og H2020.
Varðveislusafnið notar opna hugbúnaðinn DSpace.

Human tendon stem/progenitor cell-derived extracellular vesicle production promoted by dynamic culture
(2025) Clerici, Marta; Ciardulli, Maria Camilla; Lamparelli, Erwin Pavel; Lovecchio, Joseph; Giordano, Emanuele; Dale, Tina P.; Forsyth, Nicholas R.; Maffulli, Nicola; Della Porta, Giovanna
Tendon injuries significantly impact quality of life, prompting the exploration of innovative solutions beyond conventional surgery. Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising strategy to enhance tendon regeneration. In this study, human Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cells (TSPCs) were isolated from surgical biopsies and cultured in a Growth-Differentiation Factor-5-supplemented medium to promote tenogenic differentiation under static and dynamic conditions using a custom-made perfusion bioreactor. Once at 80% confluence, cells were transitioned to a serum-free medium for conditioned media collection. Ultracentrifugation revealed the presence of vesicles with a 106 particles/mL concentration and sub-200nm diameter size. Dynamic culture yielded a 3-fold increase in EV protein content compared to static culture, as confirmed by Western-blot analysis. Differences in surface marker expression were also shown by flow cytometric analysis. Data suggest that we efficiently developed a protocol for extracting EVs from human TSPCs, particularly under dynamic conditions. This approach enhances EV protein content, offering potential therapeutic benefits for tendon regeneration. However, further research is needed to fully understand the role of EVs in tendon regeneration.
Gifts for EJTM authors and readers and for PDM3 participants
(2025) Carraro, Ugo; Fanò-Illic, Giorgio; Forni, Riccardo; Maccarone, Maria Chiara; Masiero, Stefano; Department of Engineering
The summer of 2025 is approaching and the need to finalize our plans for the next few years is urgent. The next Padua Days of Muscle and Mobility Medicine (PDM3) will be held from 3 to 6 March 2026 at the Hotel Petrarca, Euganean Thermae (Padova, Italy). A preliminary flyer for 2026PDM3 is almost ready with organizers, session schedule and keynote speakers. A new Website, named Padua Muscle Days, will be soon released with all the needed information for How to Join, Registration, Accommodation, Payments and the Abstract Template for the 2026 PDM3. We hope that readers will circulate its link (www.paduamuscledays.com) among Colleagues and Friends. No doubt that 2026 PDM3 will be a great gift for all Participants. The other novelty scheduled for June 2025 is the 2024 Impact Factor that Clarivate will publish. As authors who publish in other journals, but even more as reviewers, readers could contribute to making bigger a small gift. In any case, it is a gift that has been waited for decades. Four Guest Editors have done their best to make the 35 (2) 2025 European Journal of Translational Myology and Mobility Medicine (Ejtm) a very special ssue. Indeed, it is mainly dedicated to two Thematic Sections. The first, with more works, is named Advances in Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation – Maria Chiara Maccarone & Stefano Masiero, Eds. The second is called: Generative AI for Translational Mobility Medicine, Giorgio Fanò-Illic & Riccardo Forni, Eds., and aims to attract works that use Digital Methods for Translational Mobility Medicine. We invite the members of the Ejtm editorial board and the authors of highly cited articles to follow these examples and suggest further thematic sections for the Ejtm of the next decade.
A two-phase systematic literature review on the use of serious games for sustainable environmental education
(2025) Ahmadov, Tarlan; Karimov, Ayaz; Durst, Susanne; Saarela, Mirka; Gerstlberger, Wolfgang; Wahl, Mike Franz; Karkkainen, Tommi; Department of Business and Economics
This study explores the landscape of serious games for sustainable environmental education, focusing on game types, theoretical foundations, and pedagogical approaches to provide valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers. Using an umbrella literature review methodology, it examines empirical studies published between 2006 and 2023 on serious games in this field. The findings reveal a growing interest in serious games for sustainability, highlighting advancements in gaming technologies. It also identifies various game types, theoretical perspectives, and pedagogical strategies used to promote sustainability education. The study offers a comprehensive overview of the role of serious games in fostering sustainable behaviors, synthesizing key empirical studies, frameworks, and practical applications. Its insights can help educators design and implement serious games that effectively integrate diverse pedagogical and theoretical approaches, enhancing learning outcomes and raising sustainability awareness.
A New Framework for Limitation of Fundamental Rights in EU Law?
(Springer Nature, 2025) Petursson, Gunnar Thor; Department of Law
Soon the EU Charter will have been a binding part of EU law for 15 years. Different tasks and challenges are facing the EU legislator and the EU Member States now as compared to in 2009, when it entered into force. Therefore, a focused stock-taking is both timely and relevant. In this chapter, the attention will be on the methodological implications the EU Charter has had, when and once it is the starting point and reference legislation in adjudication of Charter rights, in particular in the context of their limitations. Here Article 52(1) of the EU Charter is the focal point, since steering limitation of its rights, and therefore, appropriately considered to be a pivotal provision in the EU Charter. In this article, the evolution of this provision will be analysed, not least in the light of the more recent case-law of the CJEU, with a specific focus on privacy rights, personal data protection and digital rights in general.

We present an updated checklist for all bryophyte species known to occur in the Nordic countries and list occurrences for each taxon from Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Denmark, Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Norway (mainland), Sweden and Finland. Altogether 1276 bryophyte species are included for the region. The checklist includes vernacular names in Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish. The following new nomenclatural combinations are proposed: Scapania scandica var. parvifolia comb. nov., Andreaea alpina var. hartmanii comb. nov., Didymodon islandicus comb. nov., Ephemerum serratum var. stoloniferum comb. nov., Hygroamblystegium varium var. fluviatile comb. nov., Hygroamblystegium varium var. tenax comb. nov., Ptychostomum arcticum var. purpurascens comb. nov., Ptychostomum intermedium var. nitidulum comb. nov. and Ptychostomum warneum var. mamillatum comb. nov.
