This paper is focused on the analysis of two documents (the Council of Europe's Bioethics Convention and the Additional Cloning Protocol) inasmuch as they refer to the relationship between human dignity and human genetic engineering. After presenting the stipulations of the abovementioned documents, I will review various proposed meanings of human dignity and will try to identify which of these se
BACKGROUND: Although coronary events (CE) and ischemic stroke share many risk factors, there are also some important differences. The aim of this paper was to assess the association of risk factors in relation to incident CE and ischemic stroke and to evaluate the heterogeneity in patterns of risk factors between the two outcomes.METHOD: Traditional risk factors and inflammatory markers associated
BACKGROUND: There is no consensus on best content, set-up, category of involved healthcare professionals or duration of rehabilitation-programs for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, and outcomes show varying results. Individual care regimes for sub-groups of patients have been proposed.AIM: To describe the type of interventions used in a physiotherapist-led, rehabilitation-program for pa
We propose a multivariate log-normal distribution to jointly model received power, mean delay, and root mean square (rms) delay spread of wideband radio channels, referred to as the standardized temporal moments. The model is validated using experimental data collected from five different measurement campaigns (four indoor scenarios and one outdoor scenario). We observe that the received power, th
Degrowth thought and strategies suffer from a tension between viewing the state as incapable of initiating transformational change and making a political appeal to it to do precisely this via targeted eco-social policies. While a small number of academic papers has theoretically addressed this tension, there is a lack in research on the strategic implications arising from conceptualizations of the
Purpose: Hypoxia (low oxygen) is a common feature of solid tumors that has been intensely studied for more than six decades. Here we review the importance of hypoxia to radiotherapy with a particular focus on the contribution of hypoxia to immune responses, metastatic potential and FLASH radiotherapy, active areas of research by leading women in the field. Conclusion: Although hypoxia-driven metas
Implementing energy efficiency measures in historic buildings is a challenging task and require knowledge in a number of different disciplines. The measures to reduce energy use must create a good indoor environment without jeopardizing the loss of important cultural historical values or entailing damages to building materials or load-bearing structures. Building antiquarian-, building biological-
Anthropomorphic phantoms are models of real or virtual parts of the body, organ or tissue, represented by tissue-equivalent materials that aim to provide a realistic and accurate representation of their anatomy and properties. The aim of this study is to evaluate experimentally the suitability of 3D printed materials in the production of both, physical breast phantoms and abnormalities, to be used
Background: Breast-reduction techniques are increasingly used in oncoplastic breast surgery. Bilateral therapeutic mammoplasty has the benefit of decreasing breast volume, enabling resection of larger tumors, and the potential to assure good postoperative symmetry. The aims of this study were to objectively asses the cosmetic outcomes of therapeutic mammoplasty in patients with breast cancer, usin
TEMA: URBAN BIODIVERSITET Stadsmiljöns värde för pollinatörer beror av både utformningen av staden och kvaliteten på de gröna miljöerna. I bästa fall kan städer vara ett viktigt komplement till naturen runt om för den regionala mångfalden av bin, särskilt genom villaträdgårdarna. Vi har undersökt bin, blomflugor och fjärilar och hur de trivs i staden jämfört med i den omkringliggande landsbygden.
Despite the availability of methods for analyzing protein complexes, systematic analysis of complexes under multiple conditions remains challenging. Approaches based on biochemical fractionation of intact, native complexes and correlation of protein profiles have shown promise. However, most approaches for interpreting cofractionation datasets to yield complex composition and rearrangements betwee
In order to investigate the possible causes of premature thermal breakdown and performance degradation, several diagnostic techniques have been employed during the vertical tests of the Fine and Large Grain ESS Medium Beta prototypes cavities. The whole equipment, which includes second sound, fast thermometry, photodiode x ray detectors and external NaI scintillator and proportional counter, is he
Covalent-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (CF-GNPs) inside a circular heated-pipe and the subsequent pressure decrease loss within a fully developed turbulent flow were discussed in this research. Four samples of nanofluids were prepared and investigated in the ranges of 0.025 wt.%, 0.05 wt.%, 0.075 wt.%, and 0.1 wt.%. Different tools such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SE
The establishment of innovation ecosystems has become an increasingly prevalent strategy for fostering territorial, economic and social development. However, the existing literature provides limited insights into the strategic conditions that enable the emergence of such ecosystems. This paper addresses this gap by identifying the critical elements and mechanisms underpinning their creation. Speci
Large language models (LLMs) and their applications in low-resource languages (such as in Vietnamese) are limited due to lack of training data and benchmarking datasets. This paper introduces a practical real-world implementation of a question answering system for Vietnamese, called ViGPTQA, leveraging the power of LLM. Since there is no effective LLM in Vietnamese to date, we also propose, evalua
We present a novel deep neural network architecture for representing robot experiences in an episodic-like memory that facilitates encoding, recalling, and predicting action experiences. Our proposed unsupervised deep episodic memory model as follows: First, encodes observed actions in a latent vector space and, based on this latent encoding, second, infers most similar episodes previously experie
We describe an experimental setup for non-linear interaction and propagation of ultrashort and intense x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses in a dense gas. It allows one to provide high, but adjustable, target-gas pressures of up to 6 bar within a vacuum environment of 3∙10− 3 mbar or better. The setup enables investigation of intense x-ray propagation in an optically thick medium with minimal
Introduction: The first-line evidence-based treatment for chronic pain is multidisciplinary treatment involving pain-focused CBT. Studies have shown that changes in psychological flexibility (PF) during pain-focused CBT positively mediatesoutcomes, even when the treatment does not specifically target PF. While CBT and PF-based treatments for chronic pain yield small to moderate, but clinically mea
Studio recordings of music for English bass horn and string trio from the composers Louis Massonneau, Emma Jane Lloyd, and Ylva Lund Bergner, recorded at the St Cecilia's Hall in Edinburgh on 17 January 2026.
