Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients are at risk for long-term adverse events. Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities may reflect ventricular maladaptation and predict complications. We investigated whether ECG changes correlated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) measures of right ventricular (RV) function and their prevalence in less mature myocardium (prematurity or early repair). This
Here, density functional theory calculations are used to evaluate Ti4C3 and Ti4N3 MXenes as sodium ion-battery (SIB) anodes. Both MXenes offer multiple energetically favorable Na adsorption sites with strong binding, supporting uniform Na accommodation and mitigating Na clustering. The Na adsorption increases the electronic density near the Fermi level that enhances metallic conductivity for effic
Is high fertility related to shorter lifespan? Evolutionary theories predict negative physiological effects of fertility on women’s later-life survival. However, kin and especially one’s own children may contribute positively to women’s survival in old age. Family members may transfer resources and provide caretaking assistance as women age and be a source of social support that contributes to hea
Since 2016, the Alzheimer's Association and the Fondation Alzheimer have hosted Global Alzheimer's Leadership Series (GoALS) global think tanks, with world-leading experts for innovative discussions to advance Alzheimer's disease (AD) research and care. The second GoALS think tank, held in June 2024 in Paris, focused on the relationship between biological changes and clinical manifestations of AD
New series of proton-conducting polymer composite membranes were fabricated by impregnating a cobalt metal–organic framework (Co-MOF) into a sulfonated polyethersulfone/poly(vinyl alcohol) (SPES/PVA) blend matrix. Post-sulfonation technique is used to sulfonate polyethersulfone using chlorosulfonic acid as a sulfonating agent. The presence of hydrophilic functional moieties in SPES and PVA contrib
Developing a conceptual framework of strategic silence and applying it to various domains of Central Asian international relations, this book uncovers how silence allows states to navigate structural constraints, maintain flexibility, and assert subtle forms of resistance or alignment. Strategic ambiguity and restraint often characterise Central Asia’s response to major geopolitical shifts. This b
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major long-term complication and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with a substantially higher prevalence compared to the general population and driven by multiple interrelated risk factors—underscoring the urgent need for accurate risk assessment. To support more tailored approaches to CVD prevention, recen
Background: Cannabis, the most consumed illicit drug globally, has been legal for non-medical use in Canada since 2018. Problematic internet use is considered a behavioral addiction involving excessive online activities (e.g., social media, video watching), which can cause social isolation, family issues, psychological distress, and even suicide ideation. Studies mainly conducted with adolescents
Correlation functions and correlation lengths are frequently used to describe phase transitions in quantum systems, but they require an explicit choice of observables. The recently introduced information lattice instead provides an observable-independent way to identify where and at which scale information is contained in quantum lattice models. Here, we use it to study the difference between the
Background: Preoperative lymph node staging in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) is sparsely reported. Objective: This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of PET-CT and conventional computed tomography (CT) for detecting regional lymph node metastases in patients with UTUC, using
Abstract – There is a growing interest in the genomic and developmental basis of discrete or multimodal phenotypes governed by genetic polymorphisms. Recent research has uncovered the genomic basis of such polymorphisms and their maintenance through balancing selection such as negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS). Such polymorphisms often originate through structural genomic changes or th
International mobility can provide students with opportunities for intercultural learning and developing language skills. Language proficiency is also a factor in the choice of a host university and satisfaction with study abroad programmes. The present study examines student reflections on the role language played in their academic, social, and personal experiences during international mobility,
Teledermatology is increasingly used for the assessment of suspicious skin tumours, yet referral content remains poorly standardized. To develop a European expert consensus on the essential clinical and visual variables required for teledermatological assessment of primary skin tumours. A 3-round modified Delphi study was conducted among experienced dermatologists. In round 1, participants propose
Syftet med den här uppsatsen har varit att undersöka den europeiska sociala dialogens samspel med den svenska arbetsrätten. Detta analyseras sedan, bl.a. med hjälp av ett maktperspektiv vilket tillåter oss att se den europeiska sociala dialogen, och hur den svenska arbetsrätten emottager denna, ur ett perspektiv som ger oss en värdefull inblick i bakomliggande makthierarkier. Detta ger oss även in
Med denna uppsats ämnar jag belysa de frågor som kan uppkomma då ett kommunalt vapen används i ett kommersiellt varumärke. De heraldiska, vapnen vill jag påstå, är föregångare till dagens varumärken, då deras funktion var att särskilja olika riddare från varandra. Det heraldiska vapnet verkade precis som varumärket gör idag, som ett identifikationsmedel och särskiljningsmedel. Heraldik är en sedva
Dokumentation av internprissättning har uppmärksammats allt mer sedan OECD utgav sina riktlinjer för internprissättning 1995. Ett av dessa riktlinjers kapitel behandlar just informations- och dokumentationsplikt vid interntransaktioner. Inspirerat av detta kapitel, och andra staters tidigare införda dokumentationsregelverk, lämnade Skatteverket under 2003 en rapport i vilken ett svenskt införande
This thesis approaches a field in refugee law, which is rather untouched by the researching community so far. The specific procedure scrutinised is the procedure allowing for asylum applications to be submitted at EU Member States' diplomatic and consular representations abroad. In the thesis this procedure goes under the name externalised processing. The specific aspect focused on is the poss
Parallellhandel är en laglig form av handel med varor mellan Europeiska unionens medlemsstater. Handeln betecknas som ''parallell'' eftersom den sker utanför och i de flesta fall parallellt med de distributionsnätverk som tillverkarna eller de ursprungliga leverantörerna har skapat för sina produkter i en medlemsstat, trots att det gäller produkter som i alla avseenden liknar de so
