Amongst recent work on analogies between the epistemic and the moral domains, one interaction is absent: apologies. This paper aims to fill that gap. After providing some reasons for thinking that epistemic apologies already exist in our practices, we explore the phenomena of epistemic relationships and epistemic trust. These are then used to build an account of epistemic apologies where we sugges
Sweden faces persistent affordable housing shortages while simultaneously experiencing elevated office vacancy rates. Given that the building sector accounts for roughly one third of global energy demand and two fifths of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, adaptive reuse presents a promising strategy for mitigating emissions while addressing housing needs. This study investigated the greenho
Accurate mapping of aboveground biomass (AGB) in mountainous forests is essential for carbon stock assessment and ecological management, yet remains challenging due to the difficulty of linking local high-precision observations with regionally continuous coverage. To address this issue, we developed a hierarchical framework integrating local reference construction, UAV–GEDI bridging, footprint-lev
Objectives: Causes of pharyngotonsillitis in Africa, beyond Streptococcus pyogenes, are poorly understood. We aimed to describe the prevalence of S. pyogenes, Fusobacterium necrophorum, and Streptococcus dysgalacatiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) in children in The Gambia and evaluate the usefulness of clinical decision rules, originally developed for S. pyogenes or beta-haemolytic streptococci,
Background: Target volume and organ of interest (OOI) contouring and treatment planning for IDH-mutated gliomas CNS WHO grades 2 and 3 are subject to interindividual variation. We aimed to assess this variation and heighten delineation awareness as a quality assurance measure in the PRO-GLIO trial. Methods: Five experts established consensus delineations for target volumes and defined OOI in two I
Addressing the questions of this panel, this presentation critically examines the expanding extractivist frontiers in North Africa, driven by narratives of green transitions sustainable development. It explores the complex dynamics between renewable energy projects and local contestations led by environmental defenders and self-determination movements. The rapid growth of wind and solar infrastruc
Aims Surgeon and patient reluctance to participate are potential significant barriers to conducting placebo-controlled trials of orthopaedic surgery. Understanding the preferences of orthopaedic surgeons and patients regarding the design of randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT-Ps) of knee procedures can help to identify what RCT-P features will lead to the greatest participation. This informa
Objectives To determine development of new and worsening meniscal damage over 5 years after acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury comparing rehabilitation plus early ACL reconstruction (’early-ACLR’) versus rehabilitation with optional delayed ACL reconstruction (’optional-delayed-ACLR’). Methods We used knee MRIs from the only randomised controlled trial in the field including 121 young a
Knee osteoarthritis affects 40% of people during their lifetime, significantly impacting societies worldwide. Its molecular pathogenesis remains poorly understood and variable clinical phenotypes suggest it may be more than one disease. We established Synovial fluid To detect Endotypes by Unbiased Proteomics in OA (STEpUP OA) to search for molecular endotypes in knee OA synovial fluid, and to reve
This paper examines how Takituduh Bunun (Austronesian: Taiwan) encodes translocative motion, using the framework of Holistic Spatial Semantics. Based on elicited field data, we identify key lexical and grammatical resources, including motion verbs, a productive motion prefix (u-), and the locative voice. These interact flexibly to express basic semantic categories such as Path, Direction, Manner,
This paper discusses the grammatical and semantic properties ofverbalizing lexical affixes in Takituduh Bunun (Austronesian, Taiwan), arguing thatthese lexical affixes are the overt realization of the category-assigning head v, while thenominal stems of these lexical prefixes are reduced nPs, rather than full DPs. The paperdescribes the argument structure and transitivity pattern of these verbaliz
PurposeEconomic claims after surgery may be regarded as an alternative surrogate outcome for long-term deprived quality of life. This study reports economic claims of chronic pain following inguinal hernia repair.MethodsConsecutive data on economic claims following inguinal hernia repair was collected from the nationwide Danish Patient Compensation Association. Patients’ claims were stratified int
Multiple myeloma (MM) and related malignancies develop from an asymptomatic precursor condition, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), detectable via blood testing. The benefits and harms of population-based MGUS screening remain uncertain. We conducted a nationwide screening study for monoclonal gammopathies and a randomized trial of follow-up strategies in Iceland (Iceland S
