A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) is an established treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) is a newer, promising diet. Nutrients influence the production of gut hormones, which affect gastrointestinal motility. This study aimed to investigate the changes in copeptin, leptin, PAI-1, C-peptide, and insul

Analogical reasoning is a form of non-deductive reasoning that gives special weight to similarity considerations. Here, we pursue an approach to formalizing this type of reasoning that was initiated by Carnap in posthumously published work. In it, Carnap abandoned his long-time project of trying to define inductive and analogical reasoning syntactically and introduced attribute spaces to model the

Microbial biofilm formation can contribute to the accelerated deterioration of steel-reinforced concrete structures and significantly impact their service life, making it critical to understand the diversity of the biofilm community and prevailing processes in these habitats. Here, we analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomics sequencing data to study the abundance and diversity of nitrifier

This paper describes the evaluation of newly created pedagogical programs for early-career educators delivered by academic developers (ADs) in two universities in Central Europe. Initially conceived as an evaluation of the program’s effectiveness, iterative analysis led to acknowledgment of the importance of context for the impact of these programs. We recognize prevalent educational choice archit

We report the discovery of TOI-3493 b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet on an 8.15-d orbit transiting the bright (V=9.3) G0 star HD 119355 (aka TIC 203377303) initially identified by NASA's TESS space mission. With the aim of confirming the planetary nature of the transit signal detected by TESS and determining the mass of the planet, we performed an intensive Doppler campaign with the HARPS spectrograp

Background: The textile dye mix (TDM) 6.6% in petrolatum contains Disperse Blue (DB) 35, Disperse Yellow 3, Disperse Orange (DO) 1 and 3, Disperse Red 1 and 17, and DB 106 and 124. The most frequent allergen in TDM-positive patients is DO 3. Around 85% of para-phenylenediamine (PPD)-allergic dermatitis patients have been positive to DO 3. There has been a discussion to exclude DO 3 from TDM 6.6% b

Hydrogen migration is a ubiquitous phenomenon upon dissociation of organic molecules. Here we investigate the formation of a H3O+ fragment after core-level photoionization and Auger decay in aminobenzoic acid molecules - a process that requires the migration of at least two hydrogen atoms. Using photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy, the formation of a H3O+ fragment is observed to be mor

Aims Cardiac telerehabilitation addresses common barriers for attendance at exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR). Pragmatic real-world studies are however lacking, limiting generalizability of available evidence. We aimed to evaluate feasibility, safety, and patient perceptions of remotely delivered EBCR in a multicentre clinical practice setting after myocardial infarction (MI). Methods a

This article combines insights from two emerging literatures on transnational private regulation: the grounding perspective and politics and power in global value chains. Drawing on a case study conducted in Turkey, it examines political economy of voluntary sustainability standards in hazelnut production, a critical but overlooked part of the chocolate value chain with no shortage of human rights

Transition metal oxides, with their wide range of electronic and magnetic properties, offer a remarkable platform for developing future electronics based on unconventional quantum phenomena, such as topological phases. The formation of topologically nontrivial states is linked to crystalline symmetry, spin-orbit coupling, and magnetic ordering. Here, by employing angle-resolved photoemission spect

Precision nutrition is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field of scientific research and innovation with the potential to deliver health, societal and economic benefits by improving healthcare delivery and policies. Advances in deep phenotyping technologies, digital tools and artificial intelligence have made possible early proof-of-concept research that expands the understanding of within- and betw

The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based

Background: Long COVID is a complex, heterogeneous syndrome affecting over four hundred million people globally. There are few recommendations, and no formal training exists for medical professionals to assist with clinical evaluation and management of patients with Long COVID. More research into the pathology, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of Long COVID, and treatments is needed. The goal of

In this paper, I explore similarities and differences between contemporary transphobic and anti-Jewish discourses. While scholars have shown entanglements between homophobic and antisemitic discourses in the European 19th century, as well as similarities between contemporary homonationalist and Western philosemitic discourses, less attention has been paid to how anti-trans and anti-Jewish discours

Dynamic interference is an elusive strong-field effect where photoelectrons from intense laser pulses interfere in time, forming rich kinetic energy patterns. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of isolated dynamic interference using a novel two-color scheme: chirped laser-assisted dynamic interference. Isolation was achieved with a crossed-polarization setup combining an extreme

There exists a knowledge gap in the literature on how international actors address artificial intelligence (AI) in international sustainability governance. By addressing this gap and bringing a critical perspective, this paper aims to enrich discussions on AI within international relations. First, this paper shows that the development and deployment of AI-based technologies are mainly seen as an o

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being discussed at the international level, with a particular focus on its potential to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Global Digital Compact, adopted at the Summit of the Future, calls for the establishment of international institutions to govern AI technologies. The impact of AI on sustainable development is a multifaceted

Science, technology and innovation (STI) are widely perceived as critical factors for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda defined STI as the central means of sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goal 17 has three targets that focus on technology transfer, and the United Nations Technology Facilitation Mechanism was launched to promote multi-stakeholder collaboration. While STI

Youth are one of the nine major groups of civil society for sustainable development formalized by Agenda 21. The Major Group of Children and Youth is an active independent mechanism facilitating youth involvement in the United Nations system. Youth representatives from various organizations increasingly engage in global sustainability politics but face challenges such as financial constraints, tok
