The development of immersive visuoauditory media brings to the fore several design challenges concerning cognitive human factors, such as visual perception, embodied interaction, and emotional engagement. With a focus on visual perception, our research emphasises a systematic study of embodied multimodal interaction in immersive settings and provides a cognitive model of visuospatial complexity th
The European Green Deal recognises the importance of addressing the environmental challenges posed by agriculture to meet the global biodiversity and climate agendas. Environmental policymaking is needed to drive and speed up sustainability transitions in agriculture because the environmental consequences of agricultural activities are not generally reflected in production costs and lead to market
A novel approach is introduced to modulate the threshold voltage of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) that are fabricated by electropolymerizing the channel material between the source and drain electrodes. To achieve this, we adjust the ratio of two water-soluble tri-thiophene monomers, which share the same backbone, but present either anionic or zwitterionic sidechains, during channel
Background and purpose: Since patients with primary brain tumor are expected to become long-term survivors, the prevention of long-term treatment-induced side effects is particularly important. This study aimed to explore whether symptom experience and symptom distress change over five years in adults with primary brain tumors treated with proton therapy. An additional aim was to explore whether s
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of multisensory stimulation compared to any single sensory intervention or standard care for physical and neurological development in preterm infants.
Background: Cortical contusions are common in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cortical contusions often expand, potentially causing neuro-worsening several hours to days post-trauma. While contusion expansion (CE) may affect outcome, potential clinical and radiological markers that can predict CE have been insufficiently explored. In the present single-center retrospective observatio
The ease and consistency with which speakers of many languages provide direct judgments about syllable structure has been taken by scholars as evidence that these judgments are accurate and sufficient argumentation for an analysis of syllable structure in descriptive works. This paper questions whether the results of direct elicitation tasks reliably indicate a prosodic domain that is meaningful i
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To evaluate the benefits and harms of olfactory stimulation with different odorants in the NICU for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants.
Aims/hypothesis: The temporal suppression of insulin clearance after glucose ingestion is a key determinant of glucose tolerance for people without type 2 diabetes. Whether similar adaptations are observed after the ingestion of a mixed-macronutrient meal is unclear. Methods: In a secondary analysis of data derived from two randomised, controlled trials, we studied the temporal responses of insuli
Something that all Nordic countries have in common is that journalistic work, popular culture phenomena and public debates resulting in subsequent political initiatives have served as driving forces in the development of academic research on the Holocaust. It is also clear that the field is heavily politicized, imbued with moral questions and highly diversified.The memories of the Holocaust have i
The complexity and dynamicity of microservice architectures in cloud environments present substantial challenges to the reliability and availability of the services built on these architectures. Therefore, effective anomaly detection is crucial to prevent impending failures and resolve them promptly.

The interaction between a low angle grain boundary in front of a crack tip and the emerging plasticity from the tip of a microstructurally short edge crack subjected to fatigue loading has been studied. The modeling rests solely on discrete dislocations, were the geometry is described by dislocation dipole elements in a boundary element approach and the plasticity, restricted to one slip plane, to
Short fatigue cracks are known to have a growth behaviour different from that of long cracks, the latter well predicted by linear elastic fracture mechanics. Short cracks can grow at high rates at load levels well below the threshold value for long cracks, before entering into the long crack region, or arrest and become nonpropagating cracks. The growth behaviour of short cracks is strongly influe
Grandparents’ involvement in their adult children’s families has increased in recent decades, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren. This ‘new army of proxy parents’ calls for the need to critically analyse grandparental care.

It is well known that the behaviour of short cracks differs from that of long cracks due to the relatively large plastic zone and strong influence from the surrounding microstructure, and for very low growth rates, it is important to account for discrete dislocations within the material. In this study, a discrete dislocation model is presented for the study of the growth behaviour of a short edge
Neuroblastoma exhibits two cellular phenotypes: therapy-sensitive adrenergic (ADRN) and therapy-resistant mesenchymal (MES). To understand treatment response, it is important to elucidate how these phenotypes impact the dynamics of cancer cell populations and whether they represent distinct cell types or dynamic cell states. Here, we use an integrated experimental and mathematical modeling approac
