Background: Pain from various locations in the body and mental illness are common and the comorbidity between the two is well-known although the temporal relationship remains to be determined. Our aim was to follow patients over time to study if pain (here dorsalgia/abdominal pain) or fibromyalgia lead to an increased risk of developing mental illness (here depression/anxiety) and/or the reverse,
We study the spectral phase introduced by parametric amplification and how high extraction efficiency of energy leads to deterioration of the phase. Avoiding this regime, and using a pulse shaper, we achieve high-contrast ultrashort pulses.
We report ultraviolet-induced transient and stable absorption and two-color holographic recording at 514, 633, and 830 nm in thulium doped stoichiometric LiNbO 3 crystal. The gating light at 355 nm increased the diffraction efficiency and sensitivity. We found the optimum gating-recording intensity ratio for maximum diffraction efficiency and weak nonvolatile holographic storage with gating.
The reduction of public expenditure and investments in health care provisioning calls for new, sustainable models to transform the increasing aging population and dementia-related diseases incidence from global challenges into new opportunities. In this context, Information and Communication Technologies play a vital role, to both promote aging in place and home management of Patients with Dementi
The current war in Ukraine has severely disrupted global food supply chains due to the significant decline in the production of grain commodities, of which Ukraine and Russia are major global suppliers. This creates problems in today’s globalised food systems. In particular, a number of countries are heavily dependent on food imports from Ukraine and/or Russia, particularly some developing nations
Hur och under vilka omständigheter definieras och inramas skolledarskap? Frågan ställs i detta kapitel till två slags texter som vid sidan av sina respektive huvudfunktioner just definierar och inramar skolledares görande. Det är, för det första, texter som reglerar rektorers uppdrag generellt och på nationell nivå, närmare bestämt styrdokument för den sedan 2010 obligatoriska rektorsutbildningen
Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited retinal degenerative diseases characterized by the loss of photoreceptors and vision for which no effective treatment is available. Several animal models of retinitis pigmentosa are used to elucidate its pathogenesis and to devise therapies. The retinal degeneration (rd1) mouse is one such animal model in which rod-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) is in
Teacher education for upper secondary school in Sweden is mainly university-based but with parts of the studies as school-based courses. To tackle the main obstacles to pre-service teachers’ placements, and to strengthen collaboration regarding quality and collaborative research, a new national policy is being implemented, which changes the prerequisites for collaboration between schools and unive
In response to escalating disasters, inclusive crisis planning is crucial. This study examines a specialized workshop that engaged people with disabilities in crisis planning, focusing on a simulated flood scenario. Stakeholders from disability organizations and the local municipality collaborated, including eight crisis communicators and thirteen individuals with disabilities. The workshop facili
With the emergence of autonomous vehicles comes requirements on adequate and rigorous testing techniques, particularly as systems continuously adapt to changing environments. Scenario-based, simulated testing is one approach that has received attention, where deriving relevant scenarios from various sources is still a challenge. We therefore explore creating executable test scenarios from textual
This article offers an overview of the IsiXhosa Intellectual Traditions Digital Archive, which hosts digitized texts and images of early isiXhosa newspapers and books from 1870-1914. The archive offers new opportunities for a range of research across multiple fields, and responds to debates around the importance of African intellectual traditions and their indigenous language sources in generating
