Background: Adherence to exercise interventions is often suboptimal, despite numerous studies documenting barriers and facilitators. Usability may be a critical yet underexplored determinant of adherence. This study aimed to develop and assess the psychometric properties of the Intervention Usability Scale for Exercise (IUSE). Methods: Item generation and content validation involved cognitive inte
The demand for real-time pulse characterization is becoming increasingly relevant due to the development of high power lasers and a growing number of applications that require precise knowledge of every laser pulse. To meet this demand, a few different single-shot dispersion-scan (d-scan) implementations have emerged over the last decade. In single-shot d-scan, the required dispersion range, i.e.,
BACKGROUND: There are limited data guiding the optimal inflation time for coronary drug-coated balloons. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of an inflation time of ≥30 seconds compared with <30 seconds.METHODS: We conducted an observational nationwide analysis using the SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry) to identify all patients undergoing percutan
Hur används Gamla testamentet i Svenska kyrkans gudstjänster, undervisning och församlingsliv? Vilka texter lyfts fram, vilka tonas ned – och vilka konsekvenser får det för kyrkans bibelbruk idag?Den levda bibeln samlar aktuell forskning om Gamla testamentets reception i Svenska kyrkan. I bokens artiklar undersöks hur Gamla testamentets texter tolkas, förmedlas och används i allt från evangeliebok
INTRODUCTION: We evaluated associations between phosphorylated au 217 (p-tau217), p-tau181, p-tau231, and vascular risk factors with cognitive outcomes across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. METHODS: Baseline plasma p-tau concentrations and vascular risk factors were assessed in 277 Consortium for the Early Identification of Alzheimer's Disease–Quebec (CIMA-Q) participants. Associations be
We provide the first comprehensive analysis of the origin of two enigmatic Satyrinae genera of uncertain affinities. Calisto Hübner, the only Satyrinae genus from the West Indies and endemic to these islands, has resisted numerous attempts at phylogenetic placement, regardless of the data type or methods used. Llorenteana Viloria & Luis-Martínez, a monotypic genus from northwestern Mexico, has
The authors note that Table S8 in the SI Appendix appeared incorrectly. The SI Appendix has been corrected online.
We describe factors to consider when establishing collaborative research projects with agricultural growers, issues that can arise in establishing these relationships, and key steps that researchers can take to improve collaborations and increase the likelihood of project success. We conclude that the most important features of successful collaborations between researchers and agricultural coopera
Scientific integrity and consensus rely on the peer review process, a defining feature of scientific discourse that subjects the literature forming the foundation of credible knowledge in a scientific field to rigorous scrutiny. However, there is surprisingly little training in graduate school on how to develop this essential skill [Zimmerman et al., 2011] or discussion of best practices to ensure
For the 1980-2003 period, we analyzed the relationship between crop yield and three climatic variables (minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation) for 12 major Californian crops: wine grapes, lettuce, almonds, strawberries, table grapes, hay, oranges, cotton, tomatoes, walnuts, avocados, and pistachios. The months and climatic variables of greatest importance to each crop were us
The magnitude of future climate change depends substantially on the greenhouse gas emission pathways we choose. Here we explore the implications of the highest and lowest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emissions pathways for climate change and associated impacts in California. Based on climate projections from two state-of-the-art climate models with low and medium sensitivity (Parallel
We investigated carbon cycling and ecosystem characteristics among two prairie restoration treatments established in 1987 and adjacent cropland, all part of the Conservation Reserve Program in southwestern Wisconsin, USA. We hypothesized that different plant functional groups (cool-season C3 vs. warm-season C4 grasses) between the two prairie restoration treatments would lead to differences in soi
Most research on the agricultural impacts of climate change has focused on the major annual crops, yet perennial cropping systems are less adaptable and thus potentially more susceptible to damage. In regions where perennial crops are economically and culturally important, improved assessments of yield responses to future climate are needed to prioritize adaptation strategies. These impact assessm
