Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common disorder of gut-brain interaction and associated with overweight. Low content of fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) and a starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) alleviate IBS symptoms, but restrictive diets may lead to malnutrition. The aim of the present clinical trial was to randomize IBS patients to eit

The classical best-subset selection method has been demonstrated to be nondeterministic polynomial-time-hard and thus presents computational challenges. This problem can now be solved via advanced mixed integer optimization (MIO) algorithms for linear regression. We extend this methodology to linear instrumental variable (IV) regression and propose the best-subset instrumental variable (BSIV) meth

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

Importance: Tau positron emission tomography (PET) allows in vivo detection of neurofibrillary tangles, a core neuropathologic feature of Alzheimer disease (AD). Objective: To provide estimates of the frequency of tau PET positivity and its associated risk of clinical outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants: Longitudinal study using data pooled from 21 cohorts, comprising a convenience sample

The rapid digital transformation of education, driven by the widespread adoption of smart devices and online platforms, has ushered in the era of smart education. While this shift enhances learning experiences, it also introduces significant cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of educational resources, student data, and institutional systems. This sur

The problem of evil is commonly regarded as one of the greatest intellectual obstacles to theistic faith. But this is on the assumption that faith requires belief. In contemporary analytical philosophy of religion, many question this assumption and argue that non-doxastic, or belief-less, faith is possible. In this paper, we consider how the evidential problem of evil affects non-doxastic faith. N

On religious fictionalism, the problem of evil becomes a problem about fictional inconsistency. How can the fiction contain both a perfectly good and omnipotent God, and a world full of suffering? Le Poidevin has presented three strategies a fictionalist might use to come to terms with the problem: to edit the fiction, to let the fiction remain open, and to let the fiction be paradoxical. In my vi

In the late Middle Ages, hundreds of Christians from all over Europe sent supplications to the Papal Curia to be freed from promises made under duress. This article analyses the supplications about forced marriages that were submitted to the Apostolic Penitentiary during the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII (1484–92). The study is based on mainly unedited source material that has not been investi

Across Europe, the involvement of and collaboration with experienced school-based language teacher educators is pivotal to the success of the structural format of the practicum component in language teacher education. Despite their central importance to the system, the lived experiences of these practitioners remain underexplored. This exploratory study sheds light on the emotional challenges expe

While graffiti can be understood as an artistic response to a variety of issues (encompassing norms related to the use of public space, inclusive of the perceived need to remove graffiti), removal (also known as buffing) can be seen both as an act of erasure in response to graffiti writing and as a creative, if often unintentionally so, endeavour with its own styles and aesthetic qualities. In rec

Over the last decades, linguistic gender-fair forms have become increasingly used by individuals and official institutions. In the French-speaking sphere, this has led to heated discussions among politicians and other stakeholders, some of which claim that these forms render texts illegible and inaccessible to the greater public. However, the processing of gender-fair forms in reading has been the

The internationalization of higher education has led to an increaseddemand for English-medium instruction (EMI) in globally diverse classrooms.Faculty at higher education institutions (HEIs) in both English-dominant andEnglish-non-dominant contexts often struggle with this requirement due to insufficient institutional support. While applied linguists have extensively researched language proficienc

In recent years, intercultural competence (IC) has gained prominence in foreign language (FL) education, reflecting broader societal shifts toward global interconnectedness and the need for culturally responsive pedagogy. This article investigates how FL teachers in Denmark conceptualize, teach, and assess IC within the existing framework of national curricula that emphasize global citizenship and

BACKGROUND: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at increased risk of epilepsy (EP), but distinguishing epileptic seizures from ASD-associated behavior remains a clinical challenge. Although previous studies have reported changes in peripheral immune markers in adults with EP, it remains unclear whether similar immune signatures are present in pediatric patients with both ASD and EP, a

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kabinpersonal upplevde övergången mellan yrkesroll och privatliv, samt hur uniform, kollegialt och organisatoriskt stöd och organisationens känsloregler påverkade denna process. Studien hade sin utgångspunkt i teorier om emotionellt arbete, dramaturgisk rollteori och enclothed cognition. En kvalitativ ansats med en abduktiv forskningsdesign användes. DatainThe aim of this study was to examine how cabin crew experienced the transition between their professional and private roles, and how uniforms, collegial and organizational support, and the organization’s emotional rules influenced this process. A qualitative method with an abductive research design was used. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five female cabin crew members

Rekrytering utgör en central funktion för hur organisationer formas och hur professionella roller reproduceras på arbetsmarknaden. Rekrytering till HR-roller är särskilt betydelsefullt, då HR-professionen förväntas arbeta för objektivitet, rättvisa och inkludering i organisationers personalarbete. Trots detta finns begränsad forskning om hur rekryterare i praktiken bedömer kandidater till HR-posit

This qualitative interview study explores how group leaders within the Swedish Police Authority experience and reason in their decision making in critical situations. Contemporary policing is characterized by increasing complexity, time pressure, and uncertainty, where decisions must often be made with limited information and under high risk. While previous research has largely focused on performa

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka de underliggande psykologiska, samhälleliga och sociala faktorer som kan tänkas ligger bakom den snabba ökningen av vitt snus i Sverige. Frågeställningen att besvara var: “Hur resonerar unga snusare i Sverige kring valet av vitt snus?” En kvalitativ och fenomenologisk metod användes med hjälp av en tematisk analys. 13 semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördThe aim of this study was to investigate the underlying psychological, societal, and social factors underlying the rapid increase of white snus in Sweden. The research question to answer was: “How do young snus users in Sweden reason when choosing white snus?” A qualitative and phenomenological method was employed using a thematic analysis. 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with young w

I 1300-talshandskriften Uppsala UB, C 381, återfinns en predikosamling som där kallas Gäddhuvud. Samlingen finns i ytterligare en handskrift skriven i Sverige på 1300-talet, i dag förvarad i Prag. Den nämns vid namn i ett testamente från 1309 och torde därför ha författats redan på 1200-talet. Artikeln beskriver samlingens innehåll, syfte, metodik och teologi samt avslutas med editioner av två pre
