This editorial introduces the Special Section on 'The Borders Within: Socio-Economic Rights and Non-discrimination in EU Law' whose purpose is to provide a comprehensive and non-fragmented understanding of socio-economic rights, the right to non-discrimination and their meaning for welfare in EU Member States. Under EU law the boundaries between national socio-economic policies and the enjoyment o

Abstract: Background: Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) inducing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) with multiple organ involvement is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The treatment has mostly been focused on kidney, respiratory and cardiovascular supports and not against the bacteria that cause STEC-HUS. The use of bactericidal therapy has been shown to be antibiotic Background: Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) inducing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) with multiple organ involvement is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

This chapter examines the experiences of children in the Holocaust in various geographic contexts. It raises questions about the avenues for rescue and survival of children and the limits of children’s agency. How did gender, age, and family background play a role? And how did children adjust to or resist their new - and supposedly temporary - separation from their families?.

This article analyzes the effects of self-balancing in multiactive bridge converters. Therefore, it proposes a time-domain approach to model the dynamics of multiwinding transformer-based multilevel dc/dc converter, including self-balancing. In previous research, multiwinding transformers have been modeled using average-based power transfer models. These models, while simple, have no direct intuit

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer (LC) are recognized as severe diseases of the lungs and are closely linked to cigarette smoking and environmental pollution and share common mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, matrix degradation, and airway remodeling. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a transmembrane receptor featuring an extracellular ligand bind

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to intracerebral inflammation involving resident microglial cells and astrocytes as well as invading peripheral dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes, and neutrophils. However, the profile of immune blood cells activated by TBI remains poorly defined. Several animal models showing invasion of circulating classical dendritic cells type 2 (cDC2s) to the traumatically in

ObjectivesThis study investigates the impact of transitioning from restricted to 24/7 access to blood culture cabinets on blood culture processing.MethodA post-hoc retrospective study and a prospective laboratory simulation to evaluate the effects of delayed incubation were conducted. Data analysis evaluated clinical data comparing incubation-to-detection (ITD) and Collection-to-detection (CTD) in

Disclosed is a process for production of a cycloaliphatic carbonate from a diol, triol or polyol and a carbon dioxide source, such as a dialkyl carbonate. Said process is performed in a solvent-free medium using a N-heterocyclic carbene or N-heterocyclic carbene complex as catalyst. Said N-heterocyclic carbene or carbene complex is preferably attached to a lipase. Said process comprises preferably

Chuño (black) and tunta (white) are two ancient potato derivatives traditionally produced in the high-altitude Andean region through a natural freezing, pressing, washing, and sun-drying process that preserves the tubers for long-term storage. The present study investigates the resistant starch (RS) content, antioxidant capacity, and bioactive metabolites produced by fermentation with probiotic ba

Theory and experience exist for much of the components of a combined system with heat recovery ventilation, building and occupant, but the parts are not put together in a comprehensive and analytical way to let the building sector take part of developed and positivistic knowledge that is needed to make predictable and desired dwellings. This project will, together with numerous ongoing projects, a

Anterior cord herniation is due to a ventral displacement of the spinal cord through a defect in the dura and/or arachnoid.1 Though the condition is rare, some case reports are available.1-3 The neurological symptoms can slowly deteriorate over several years.3 A Brown-Séquard-like syndrome is the most common presenting neurological finding.2,4 Asymptomatic cases may be discovered incidentally.4 Ho

INTRODUCTION: There is substantial heterogeneity in the reporting of outcomes in the global cranioplasty literature. This study aimed to establish a core outcome set (COS) for cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for stroke or traumatic brain injury.METHODOLOGY: The scope was defined according to the criteria recommended by the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) Initiati

This study evaluates two different natural language processing tech-niques: the normalised co-occurrence (PMI) versus neural networks. Incontrast to most previous studies, the focus is on the context of a propor-tional representation system – Sweden –, where the parties in parliamenttend to form coalitions. We test the models by collecting data from thenational parliament (Swedish Riksdag) and usi

Adaptive haptics, an amalgamation of different haptic systems and machine learning algorithms, has the potential for intelligent feedback in healthcare. Such systems are capable of learning to suit individual user needs in real-time, thereby improving patient care, medical education, and treatment. Targeted techniques of machine learning approaches are reinforcement learning, neural networks, supp

The characterisation of wood’s fracture behaviour is a challenging task due to its inherently complex microstructure and natural variability. Consequently, to accurately model wood for engineering applications, deterministic input parameters are rarely sufficient in, for example, finite element models; the stochastic nature of the material must be considered. In the present work, we aim to quantif
