Young infants, children, and persons of any age who have cognitive limitations can be thought of as tyro learners, who are beginners in learning. For tyro learners, the self-produced mobility afforded by a powered mobility device offers opportunities, to explore tool-use learning and interact with the surrounding environment, thereby potentially enhancing development and learning, providing a foun
Studies of tree species effects on soils have revealed a significant impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and the carbon (C) distribution between forest floor and mineral soil, but the underlying mechanisms including the roles of litter traits, soil properties, and microbiome remain unclear. To address this challenge, we tested the effect of six common European tree species on the quality an
Introduction: Antibiotics for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) have been questioned in several studies. Thus, it is of value to identify risk factors for recurrence and complications to identify the best strategy for treatment. The aim was to investigate risk factors for recurrence and complications within at least 1 year after hospitalization for AUD. Methods: This is a retrospective stud
The agricultural sector has a critical role in creating social and environmental value of natural resources in addition to its traditional role of creating economic value by supplying food to the ever-increasing world population. In fulfilling this dual role, the agricultural sector often faces competing pressures: to operate financially profitable businesses and to create, maintain, and benefit f
A structured approach to derive the water activity function of cellulose-based materials which describe the sorption behavior from dry fiber up to the fiber saturation point is proposed. The coupling between the sorption isotherm and the net isosteric heat of sorption is incorporated in a consistent way, which allows for coupled heat-diffusion problems to be solved. Three different models are deri
Industry 4.0 concepts have recently significantly supported transparency and reliability in every industrial sector. Organizations must adapt their traditional paradigms and approaches to align with market demands. Hence, developing a framework that can change these conventional approaches with fresh ideas is essential. The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) readiness model presents a creative concept that holds
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have significant potential for disease modeling and cell therapies. However, their wide-spread application has faced challenges, including batch-to-batch variabilities, and notable distinctions when compared to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Some of these disparities can stem from using undefined culture conditions and the reprogramming procedure, however, the
BACKGROUND: Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the esophagus. The diagnosis involves clinical suspicion based on history details and results of high-resolution manometry (HRM) as recommended by the Chicago classification (CCv4.0). Interpreting data obtained through HRM can be complex especially for the novice user.METHODS: We propose therefore a color-based algorithm involving the "reversed
Background: There are currently no molecular tests to identify individual breast cancers where radiotherapy (RT) offers no benefit. Profile for the Omission of Local Adjuvant Radiotherapy (POLAR) is a 16-gene molecular signature developed to identify low-risk cancers where RT will not further reduce recurrence rates. Methods: An individual participant data meta-analysis was performed in 623 patien
Aim of the review: To provide an overview of studies that have published dataregarding region and population size, procedure location, team composition, inclusionand exclusion criteria, outcome parameters, and cost–benefit analyses onextracorporeal membrane oxygenation use for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Data sources: A structured systematic literature search of articles published pr
Background Suicide attempts are common in youth and have potentially lethal outcomes. Effective treatments targeting suicide attempts are scarce. Objective To assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a family-based cognitive behavioural treatment relative to an active control for youth with suicidal behaviour. Methods 30 youths (93% female; mean (SD) age=14.6 (1.5) years) residing in Swe
INTRODUCTION: We evaluated differences in p-tau levels between Alzheimer's disease (AD), a condition with brain-specific changes in p-tau, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a condition associated with increases in peripheral p-tau levels. METHODS: Cerebrospinal fluid and plasma from 668 participants were analyzed using immunoassays specific for the low-molecular-weight (LMW) tau isoforms pr
Precise knowledge of the temperature during cutting processes is of high interest as the temperature of a cutting tool dictates the performance, and for the workpiece it controls the quality and integrity of the generated surface. For the first time, in this study, a novel technique has been developed utilizing phosphor thermometry for 2D surface temperature measurement of a cutting tool in metal
A series of molecular alloys of 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene and 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene with varying compositions were prepared in an attempt to obtain jumping crystals with adjustable temperature of thermosalient phase transition. Molecular alloys were studied with a combination of thermal and structural techniques (DSC, SCXRD, XRPD, hot-stage microscopy). Alloys with a high 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobe
Objectives Longitudinal health monitoring studies including Para athletes are lacking in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to introduce a surveillance programme developed for Swedish Para athletes to high-level South African Para athletes and describe their self-reported health outcomes.Design Using a prospective cohort design, we distributed weekly electronic surveys to P
Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, but access to evidence-based treatment is limited. Most clinical guidelines recommend stratified care, where less complex patients are offered low intensity interventions and complex patients more intensive options. Stepped care, where all patients initially receive low-intensity treatment, has gained traction due to its potential cost-effe
Recent studies provide insights about local agency in regional development. While acknowledging non-local actors and drivers, these studies have not systematically discussed the link between extra-regional relations and local agency. This paper first discusses three key arguments in the literature on extra-regional relations covering context-specific dependencies, strategic coupling and open innov
Background: Serially interconnected microfluidic devices enable advanced applications such as multi-step chemical processing and multi-organ-on-chip systems. However, managing these systems presents challenges due to interdependent fluid dynamics in their connecting channels, where even minor disturbances can propagate throughout the network, affecting overall system performance. Methods: This stu
