PURPOSE: Deleterious effects from concomitant gradients are amplified at lower field strengths and stronger gradients. We aimed to show the signal errors caused by concomitant gradients across a wide range of hardware configurations and propose corrections that can be applied during experimental design and analysis.THEORY AND METHODS: We derived a compact but accurate expression for concomitant gr
This systematic literature review examines 69 studies published between 2012 and 2025, investigating how corruption affects corporate ESG performance and reporting. It analyzes the impact of corruption at both the national and firm levels, highlighting how it undermines sustainability, transparency, and stakeholder trust. Using bibliometric and thematic synthesis, the review identifies key intelle
BackgroundClinical monitoring of patients with heart failure or cardiomyopathy is facilitated by detailed assessment of cardiac loading conditions. Specifically, alterations in preload and afterload may unmask pathology through effects on ventricular pressure–volume (PV) relations. Therefore, the aim was to assess non-invasive PV loops during left ventricular load manipulation in healthy participa
The increasing demand for accessible phosphorus sources, essential for plant growth, is placing growing pressure on both industry and academia. Here, we investigate nanoplatelets as carriers for phosphate species, using Laponite® as a model system for sprayable phosphorus formulations. We examine how phosphate species chain length (1, 2, 3, 14, 60, and 130 monomers) governs dispersion stability an
This article presents Dynamic Collections, an interactive platform developed at Lund University to provide cultural heritage institutions with a dedicated environment for making three-dimensional archaeological data available for analysis, interpretation and reuse. Developed from a teaching experiment in collaboration with the Visual Computing Lab at CNR Pisa, museum partners and the Swedish Natio
Abstract.– In ectothermic invertebrates, high temperatures generally accelerate developmental rates and decrease adult body sizes. However, such temperature effects on body size could have contrasting fitness effects in the two sexes, as under certain circumstances in some species small males may have higher mating success, but large female insects almost invariably have higher fecundity. Here we
The modulation of charge carrier dynamics by lattice motion is an inherent characteristic of photovoltaic materials. Increasing research interest in understanding and controlling this complex interaction has continuously grown for the past few years with the aim of further improving solar cells’ device performance. This review analyses recent studies on solution-processed organic polymers, hybrid
Advanced Parkinson’s disease (APD) often presents challenges such as irregular gastric absorption and delayed gastric emptying, leading to significant and unpredictable fluctuations in both motor and non-motor symptoms. Our study is a real-world, open-label study of the tolerability and efficacy of subcutaneous infusion of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa (FL/FC) focus on comparing White Caucasian patient
The entorhinal cortex is the first region to develop tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease and primary age-related tauopathy, yet the reasons for this selective vulnerability remain unclear. We developed a computational model in which neuronal activity and amyloid-β (Aβ) modulate tau transport, hypothesizing that this mechanism explains entorhinal vulnerability to early tau pathology. The model com
Background: The 2022 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS) pulmonary hypertension definition only consider resistant right ventricular (RV) load (pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR]), but not pulsatile load (pulmonary artery compliance [PAC]) known to be important. Objectives: The authors aimed to compare severity-grading of RV afterload using the current pulmonary
This study examines the role of neighbourhood status in partner selection during the early and mid-20th century, a period of rapid industrialization and social change. While contemporary research emphasizes achieved characteristics such as education, historical marriage patterns were more strongly shaped by ascriptive factors. Yet, the influence of neighbourhood context on assortative mating remai
The archaeological laboratory of the University of Ferrara, which is in the first extra-urban stretch of the ancient via Appia at the so-called tomb of Geta, investigates a crucial area of passage between the ancient city of Rome and its cultivated territory. The area was connoted with a religious and mythical sense in antiquity, but, at the same time, it is still unknown from an archaeological po
Nowadays a significant portion of the general public cannot fully experience an archaeological exhibition due to the presence of several sensory barriers. In this work, I will focus on how technology can help to overcome one of these barriers: blindness. This goal can be achieved (by) creating touchable copies of finds where depicted decorations or inscriptions can be perceived through tactile exp
Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to investigate baseline predictors of unacceptable pain, overall and in patients with low inflammatory activity, as well as of pain over time, in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: We studied patients newly diagnosed with RA in Sweden in 2012-2020 (N = 10297), using data from several national registers. Pain was assessed by a Visual Ana
The aim of the study is to describe a methodological approach to represent, interpret, model and manage pluristratified archaeological contexts.The proposed methodology envisages a digital workflow, a BIM-thinking strategy, which integrates geometric and texture data obtained from laser and photogrammetric scans with information about construction techniques and materials, archaeological reports a
In recent years, the exploit of 3D data use in Archaeology and the Cultural Heritage sector in general has caused an exponential multiplication of digital content that can be viewed on the web. Nevertheless, web platforms can display a concerning dualism: on one side some contents are over-represented with the same models uploaded dozens of times even inside the same platform; on the other, the in
