OBJECTIVES: This study aims to compare the performance on motor and cognitive functions of adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with or without psychostimulant medication, and controls. A secondary objective is to investigate differences on test performance across varying levels of disorder severity.METHODS: We included patients with unmedicated ADHD (n=52), patients
The Open and Reproducible Musculoskeletal Imaging Research community is a scientific community dedicated to promoting openness and reproducibility in musculoskeletal imaging, image processing, and computational modeling. In this perspective paper, we outline the motivations for conducting transparent research and provide practical guidelines for implementing it. We start by defining open and repro
Background: The presence of cancer in pelvic lymph nodes removed during radical surgery for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a key determinant of patient outcome. It would be beneficial to predict node status preoperatively to tailor the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and extent of lymph node dissection. Of 12 published node status predictors based on tumor RNA expression signatures, non
Kan man leva på en ödegård? Uppenbarligen har man inte kunnat det eftersom flera medeltida gårdar efter pesten och den medeltida agrarkrisen förblev öde. Svaret på frågan är avhängigt inte bara arealer, klimat och jordar utan i lika stor utsträckning sociala förhållanden och odlingssystem. Den kan alltså omformuleras till: På vilka villkor kan en given yta tjäna som underlag för ett hushåll?Detta
In addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions. This paper aims to study how neighborhood conditions in childhood influence fertility outcomes in adulthood. Theories focusing on motivation, aspirations and attitudes or peer influence generaIn addition to the family context, persons in the neighborhood and community are important for individual life course, socioeconomic and demographic outcomes such as education, career and family transitions.

A graphics processing system that is operable to perform ray tracing using micromaps is disclosed. A tree representation of a micromap is generated, and when it is desired to determine whether and/or how a ray interacts with a sub-region of a primitive, the tree representation of the micromap is traversed to determine a property value for the sub-region of the primitive.
This qualitative study analyses exaggeration in natural conversation from a dialogic perspective using data from the London–Lund Corpus 2 (LLC–2). We define exaggeration as an extreme degree on a scale, e.g., my bag weighs a ton. degree is central to our definition of exaggeration, which involves scaling a gradable property up, or down, to a level that comes across as counterfactual or inappropria
Determining the drivers of intraspecific variation in cognitive performance is crucial for understanding how cognition evolves, but experimental studies are scarce. Several correlational studies have supported the hypothesis that living in larger groups enhances cognitive performance. However, empirical explanations of whether and how living in large groups causally affects individual cognitive pe
Background: Early electrocardiograph predates electronic amplification and therefore required innovative and highly sensitive instrumentation. Willem Einthoven's introduction of the string galvanometer in 1903 enabled recording of clinically useful electrocardiograms and established electrocardiography as a diagnostic method. Objectives: To describe the provenance and technical features of a uniqu
Accurately predicting head motion is essential for reducing motion-to-photon (MTP) latency in XR systems. However, standard evaluation practices often conflate true prediction error with residual calibration artifacts-such as global rotation bias, lever-arm offsets, or sub-frame time skews-even after alignment. These small but realistic miscalibrations can dominate reported errors and obscure the
Conversational agents are increasingly being introduced in healthcare to enhance access to healthcare and address limited healthcare resources. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of a conversational agent for symptom checking and triage tool assessing the urgency and appropriate level of care implemented in public healthcare from a cognitive accessibility perspective.
