In this work, the best size for late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images in the training dataset was determined to optimize deep learning training outcomes. Non-extra pixel and extra pixel interpolation algorithms were used to determine the new size of the LGE-MRI images. A novel strategy was introduced to handle interpolation masks and remove extra class labels in
In recent years, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (“IACrtHR”) has developed an innovative jurisprudence that has reaffirmed and further developed the right of indigenous peoples as an integrative part of the corpus juris of the international human rights law (“ihrl”). In fact, through a dynamic, systemic, evolutive and effective interpretation of the American Convention on Human Rights (“a
Background: Optimal reconstruction of the perineal defect after extended abdominoperineal excision remains uncertain, and randomized comparisons between biological mesh and myocutaneous flaps are lacking. This trial assessed whether an acellular porcine collagen implant (APCI) is non-inferior to a gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap (GMF) for pelvic floor reconstruction. Methods: NEAPE was a multice
The modification of the electronic properties of CeO2 thin films through Cu doping is a promising approach to enhancing their performance in photoinduced water splitting (WS). In this study, undoped and Cu-doped CeO2 films of 5 nm thickness with 5 and 11% Cu atomic concentrations were characterized under ambient pressure conditions by near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) to provide i
This article examines the underexplored issue of public social protection in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector. Social protection is defined as public actions taken in response to levels of vulnerability, risk, and deprivation considered socially unacceptable within a given society and polity. Drawing on a study of ASM in Rwanda, the article identifies a range of state-led policies
Hydrogen is a promising candidate to be the main renewable energy source in the future, but there has been limited development of hydrogen storage methods. PtxPd100−x (25 ≤ x ≤ 75) nanostructures composed of a mixture of nanofoams and nanoparticles are synthesized with a Pt-rich core and a Pd-rich shell atomic structure. We observed that the higher the amount of Pd, the higher the hydrogen uptake.
Bimetallic nanoparticles are promising catalysts that can improve performance in heterogeneous catalysis and solid-state electrochemistry. Exsolution is a useful method for forming such nanoparticles; however, it is limited by the elements present within the host oxide lattice. In this work, we develop and demonstrate a strategy to form bimetallic particles from La 0.5Sr 0.5Ti 0.94Ni 0.06O 3
Denna rapport bygger på fem års samarbete med lokalprojekt och campusutveckling vid Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Lunds universitet. Medutgångspunkt i konkreta projekt, gemensamma reflektioner och relevantforskning belyser författarna hur organisatoriska, kulturella och strukturellaförutsättningar påverkar arbetet med lokaler i universitetsmiljöer. Texten vändersig till beslutsfattare, chef
Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is one of the major long-term complications in patients after heart transplantation (HTx) limiting allograft function and longevity. CAV can be studied non-invasively by evaluating myocardial perfusion (MP). Aspirin is re--ed after Htx, but it is unclear whether it affects the development of CAV. The aim of this study was to investigate the associat
we present rearing records of Eulophidae resulting from five years of collecting leafminers and other herbivorous insects throughout the United States. These include the first documented hosts for Chrysocharis beckeri Yoshimoto, C. minuta (hansson), Closterocerus damastes walker (identification tentative), Diaulinopsis albiscapus (girault), Elasmus borrowi girault, Neochrysocharis cyaneoviridis ha
A full characterization of the boundedness of Laplace–Carleson embeddings on L∞ is provided, in terms of the Carleson intensity of the respective measure and of a suitable weighted Berezin transform of the measure. Moreover, boundedness results, and in some cases full characterizations of boundedness, are proved for a large class of Orlicz spaces. These findings are crucial for characterizing admi
The Tau Global Conference 2025, hosted by the Alzheimer's Association, CurePSP, and the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, convened international experts from academia, industry, government, and philanthropy to explore advances and challenges in tauopathy research. The meeting highlighted progress across tau biology, including emerging models of tau regulation, degradation, and propagation; advances
As Sweden advances toward large-scale hydrogen production for industrial applications, low-grade waste heat (≈80 °C) from electrolyzers becomes available. A proposed solution is to integrate this heat between the two condensers in a combined heat and power plant. This can be done with different configurations, which were setup and studied. At full load, introducing 15 MW of heat increased electric
Background: Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems can experience challenges and negative health effects. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ own health-related experiences as their child with ADHD and sleep problems underwent a sleep intervention with a weighted blanket. Methods: A convergent mixed methods design was undertaken. Socio
Monitoring water quality of rivers is essential in establishing the level of human impact on freshwater ecosystem, in addition to natural variability. The physicochemical, nutritional, and microbiological parameters were studied under seasonal conditions at seven different sites of the river Yamuna upper. The main mechanisms that influence the water quality were determined using descriptive statis
Taxonomic profiling is a key component of ancient metagenomic analysis, however it is also susceptible to false-positive identifications. In particular, taxonomic classification tools from the Kraken family, such as Kraken2 and KrakenUniq, are highly sensitive to the choice of filtering options. To address this issue, various filtering approaches have been proposed. In this study, I conduct a comp
Rationale: Benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, and opioids can depress respiration, alter sleep, and potentially affect outcomes in individuals treated with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) for obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Objectives: To analyze the association of benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, and opioid use with hospitalization-free survival and mortality after s
Lakes and streams play an important role in the global carbon cycle through carbon sedimentation and evasion. The development of carbon processes in the water quality model WSFS-Vemala (Vemala) presents a significant advancement in simulating carbon dynamics, particularly in capturing both total organic (TOC) and inorganic (TIC) carbon processes and their contributions to carbon retention and emis
Both heterojunction and core–shell photocatalysts have demonstrated promising performance in photocatalytic CO2 conversions to fuels. However, fundamental knowledge of heterojunctions in core–shell structures is highly desired to facilitate the design of future photocatalysts. By combining advanced experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the role of the Cu2
