PurposeAn inverse relationship between mental health and academic achievement is a well-known phenomenon in the scientific literature. However, how and when this association develops is not fully understood and there is a lack of longi-tudinal, population-based studies on young children. Early intervention is important if associations are to be found already during childhood.

In the future, fifth‐generation communications system (5G) is expected to provide reasonable mobile broadband experience to high‐density users in stadium, gym, shopping mall, etc. As the fundamental limitation is attributed to the propagation environments, it is essential to understand profoundly the high‐density channels, say, the propagation channel in the environments where the user density cou

This paper presents a measurement-based analysis of 39 GHz millimeter wave (mm-wave) radio propagation through vegetation using an ultra-wideband (UWB) channel sounder. The measurement campaign was conducted in a suburban area on campus of Tongji University, Shanghai, China. Two different kinds of measurements were performed to investigate the foliage influence on the characteristics of radio prop

This paper presents a measurement-based analysis of wideband 39 GHz millimeter wave (mm-wave) dual-polarized propagation channel under the impact of foliage presence between a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The measurements were conducted in a rich-vegetation area, and the so-called direction-scan-sounding (DSS) method which rotates a horn antenna in angular domains was applied, aiming at i

In this letter, a recently conducted measurement campaign in two suburban scenarios for investigating the low-height air-to-ground channels is presented. A universal-software-radio-peripheral-based channel sounder on-board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was exploited to record the real-time downlink signals of the live Long Term Evolution networks. Several horizontal flights at different heights

In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign for indoor millimeter-wave (mm-wave) propagation channels is introduced. A vector network analyzer (VNA)-based channel sounder was exploited to record the channel characteristics at the frequency band from 28-30 GHz. A virtual uniform circular array (UCA) with a radius of 0.25 m was formed using a rotator with 360 steps. Moreover, by

This working paper offers an international legal perspective on the diverse and conflicting international reactions in response to Kosovo’s Declaration of Independence on 17 February 2008. Considering the failure of the UN Security Council in conjuring up a common position, whether a condemnation or approval of Kosovo’s desire to become an independent and sovereign member of the international comm

The presentation is focused on the representations of stop consonants in Anatolian (Hittite and Luwian) loans in Ugaritic, and what these representations can teach us about early Anatolian and Indo-European phonology; lately, Northwest Semitic consonantal reflexes in such loans have been an important area for discussion given the many uncertain-ties of the actual realization of Anatolian stops and

BackgroundThe rise in antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern, and antibiotic overuse needs to be reduced. Earlier studies of out-of-hours care have indicated that antibiotic prescribing is less appropriate than that of in-hours care. However, no study has compared the out-of-hours treatment of infections to in-hours treatment within the same population.MethodsThis retrospective, d

OBJECTIVE: To compare consultations carried out via video with those performed in person for patients with painful, hard-to-heal ulcers, with a focus on ulcer pain and pain treatment. A further aim was to investigate predictors for pain and pain treatment.METHOD: This was a register-based, quasi-experimental study based on data from the Swedish Registry of Ulcer Treatment (RUT). A total of 100 pat

Automation to benefit or ruin?The purpose of this article is to discuss and analyze how digital automation of the provision of social assistance affects the practice of social work, as part of welfare. Based on interviews with supervisors/project managers and social case workers, who work with social assistance in a strategic selection of municipalities, the opportunities and challenges that robot

To comprehend the most detrimental characteristics behind bone fractures, it is key to understand the material and tissue level strain limits and their relation to failure sites. The aim of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional strain distribution and its evolution during loading at the sub-trabecular level in trabecular bone tissue. Human cadaver trabecular bone samples were compres

Introduction: Many donor organs contain significant leukocyte reservoirs which upon transplantation activate recipient leukocytes to initiate acute rejection. We aimed to assess whether non-ischemic heart preservation via ex vivo perfusion promotes immunodepletion and alters the inflammatory status of the donor organ prior to transplantation. Methods: Isolated porcine hearts underwent ex vivo hypo

Recent studies of the Central Complex in the brain of the fruit fly have identified neurons with activity that tracks the animal’s heading direction. These neurons are part of a neuronal circuit with dynamics resembling those of a ring attractor. The homologous circuit in other insects has similar topographic structure but with significant structural and connectivity differences. We model the conn
