Objectives The study aimed to describe the experiences of physicians, nurses and psychologists employed in primary care in using digital video consultations. The second objective was to study the association between the predictors of behaviour and behavioural intentions to use digital consultations and to relate underlying behavioural beliefs to experiences of digital consultations in primary care
Objectives To develop a protocol for largescale analysis of synovial fluid proteins, for the identification of biological networks associated with subtypes of osteoarthritis. Methods Synovial Fluid To detect molecular Endotypes by Unbiased Proteomics in Osteoarthritis (STEpUP OA) is an international consortium utilising clinical data (capturing pain, radiographic severity and demographic features)
Transport in open quantum systems can be explored through various theoretical frameworks, including the quantum master equation, scattering matrix, and Heisenberg equation of motion. The choice of framework depends on factors such as the presence of interactions, the coupling strength between the system and environment, and whether the focus is on steady-state or transient regimes. Existing litera
The production of prompt Ds+ and D+ mesons is measured by the LHCb experiment in proton-lead (pPb) collisions in both the forward (1.5
The streaming instability is a mechanism whereby pebble-sized particles in protoplanetary discs spontaneously come together in dense filaments, which collapse gravitationally to form planetesimals upon reaching the Roche density. The extent of the filaments along the orbital direction is nevertheless poorly characterised, due to a focus in the literature on small simulation domains where the behav
INTRODUCTION: Providing medical advice regarding lifestyle changes is currently the most effective intervention for delaying dementia onset among individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD). Adherence to such advice can be influenced by individual's social environment. We measured that impact within a Latinamerican population. METHODS: We recruited 183 SCD individuals from a Memory Clinic,
BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker research and clinical trials prompt reflection on the value and consequently appropriate use of tau positron emission tomography (tau-PET) in the future. METHODS: We conducted an online survey among dementia and PET experts worldwide to investigate the anticipated future role of tau-PET in clinical practice and trials. RESULTS:
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is central in adaptive immunity, with the highly polymorphic MHC genes encoding antigen-presenting molecules. Two MHC class II (MHC-II) loci, DA1 and DA2, predate the radiation of extant birds and persist throughout much of the avian phylogeny. Within each locus, the MHC-II molecules are encoded by A-genes (DAA) and B-genes (DAB), which are arranged in A–
This study examines the role of the Sovereign ESG framework in assessing national progress toward Transformative Change (TC) via environmental, social, and governance metrics. Using data from the World Bank Sovereign ESG Data Portal, we conduct an empirical explorative quantitative study and analyze ESG development across country income groups to identify sustainability challenges and opportunitie
The regulation of irregular migration in EU law operates in a web of other instruments which exclude or make it extremely difficult for non-EU migrants to reach EU territory. The relevant legal area is characterised by and criticised for its security-based approach, the dehumanization of migrants and the continuous failure to uphold human rights. These complicated characteristics of EU migration l
This book offers a reassessment of argumentation in classical rhetoric, foregrounding its rational dimension. Moving beyond introductions, it provides insights from Aristotle, Quintilian, and other ancient thinkers while addressing common misconceptions and offering clarifications that are particularly valuable for the rhetorical critic.Adopting a Scandinavian rhetorical perspective, this book arg
As the population of the world increases, there will be a larger number of people with major neurocognitive disorder and anemerging need for prompt diagnosis and treatment. A digital cognitive test could lead to that more people can be tested withoutburdening healthcare. To explore elderly’s experiences of using a digital cognitive test a cognitive healthy population of 70-year-oldswere recruited
Background: During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, reductions in air pollution were globally observed owing to decreased human activities, underscoring the potential for cleaner air through shifts in human behaviour. Objectives: The objective of the present study was to hypothetically estimate the resulting population health impacts in Malmö, Sweden, if these improvements in air qualit
This paper presents a novel optimization strategy for fitting the Jiles-Atherton (JA) hysteresis model to experimental stator yoke core loss measurements and locked-rotor IPMSM calculations. The first study aims to identify a single set of JA model parameters that track sample core losses at different magnetization levels at a given frequency: the analytical model is compared with finite element m
The FragMAX facility at MAX IV Laboratory is a state-of-the-art platform for crystallographic fragment screening, designed to support structure-based drug and chemical tool compound discovery. This facility offers a comprehensive workflow, from high-throughput crystal preparation and automated diffraction data collection at the BioMAX beamline to advanced data processing and analysis using custom
Executive functions (EF) decline with age and this decline in older adults with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) may be influenced by heart rate variability (HRV), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and physical fitness. Understanding these relationships is important for tailored treatments in this population. In this study, 51 adults with GAD (M age = 66.46, SD = 4.08) and 51 healthy con
