Research on the rhythmic communication (RC) of nonhuman animals is undergoing a period of great effervescence and expansion. Here, we synthesize this rapidly growing literature with the aim of mapping RC forms and usage contexts in an unprecedented diversity of taxa, spanning insects, fish, frogs, birds and mammals. We see this as a first large-scale effort toward charting the functional and struc
Health is multifaceted, with divergent interpretations in diverse cultures and groups of individuals. The ways individuals understand health might aid in developing future interventions. There is scant knowledge on how adolescents with depression conceptualise health. A descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenographic approach was used to describe the different ways adolescents with depressi
Introduction: The pulmonary oxygen uptake is reduced during apnea, compared to eupneic baseline, preserving the pulmonary oxygen store. This study elucidates the time course for this reduction, comparing it to the time course for apnea-induced cardiovascular responses. Methods and results: Experiments involved two groups, performing apneas during rest, both without and with cold-water face immersi
Absolute environmental sustainability assessments quantify the environmental impacts of human activities in relation to ecological carrying capacities. Such assessments necessitate the application of sharing principles to allocate shares of carrying capacity to actors and activities at different scales, including products, companies, sectors, and countries. This can help decision-makers set target
Phosphorus (P) is a critical macronutrient for plant growth, often limiting plant production in areas where plant demand is higher than soil supply. In contrast to nitrogen (N), P cannot be sourced from the atmosphere; therefore, where it is rare, it becomes a strong constraint on primary production. Due to this, most dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are incorporating a prognostic P cycle
BACKGROUND: The impact of the environmentally sustainable EAT-Lancet diet on dementia risk remains poorly understood. The aim was to investigate associations between the EAT-Lancet diet and incident dementia.METHODS: Associations of the EAT-Lancet diet with all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VaD) were investigated among 25,898 participants from the Malmö Diet and
Cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) has received increasing attention over the last decades as a complication of posterior fossa tumour surgery in children. Risk factors, aetiological aspects, and treatment measures of the syndrome have been investigated, yet the incidence of CMS remains unchanged. Overall, we are currently able to identify patients at risk, but we are unable to prevent it from occur
Purpose: Digitalization and circularity are core elements to achieve a sustainabledevelopment and call for innovation in the building sector. Although reusing building parts is recognized as a viable strategy, it requires adapted design approaches. Generative design (GD) could assist designers in elaborating suitable solutions using the existing building stock as well as in designing for future re
PURPOSE: To assess whether higher plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is associated with improved outcomes in colon cancer and whether circulating inflammatory cytokines mediate such association.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Plasma samples were collected from 1,437 patients with stage III colon cancer enrolled in a phase III randomized clinical trial (CALGB/SWOG 80702) from 2010 to 2015, who were followed
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for postoperative pain and nausea after open repair for primary ventral hernias. Method: A population-based registry study was conducted based on data assembled from the Swedish national ventral hernia repair register between January 2016 and December 2021and cross-matched with the Swedish perioperative register. Results: Altogether 2064
One of the benefits often claimed for 'moving' the state closer to people through the institutional reforms of democratic decentralisation is an improvement in the inclusion of politically marginalised groups. Decentralisation promises to deliver both the closer physical presence of centres of government and the formalisation of practices of representation at the grassroots. These changes in turn
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire area of health care, including care provided to patients with mental health problems. Due to the stressful nature of the pandemic, the number of patients experiencing mental health problems, especially depression or anxiety, has increased. Even well-before the pandemic, Europe struggled with a lack of mental health care, which was especially caused by
Women have always played a central role in smallholder agriculture in many farming systems of the Global South. However, they have had, and still have, low access to agricultural information, and even less ability to enact on training or advice received, in comparison to male farmers. The paper investigates what is needed for female smallholders to better benefit from agricultural advice and train
When parametrizing multi-Higgs potentials, it is desirable to express its coefficients via observables. This is routinely done for the 2HDM, but this approach often fails in more elaborate models. Here, we show that the scalar sector of the CP4 3HDM, an intriguing model based on an order-4 CP symmetry, can also be parametrized in an observable-driven manner. The key feature that makes it work is t
Background: There are currently no molecular tests to identify individual breast cancers where radiotherapy (RT) offers no benefit. Profile for the Omission of Local Adjuvant Radiotherapy (POLAR) is a 16-gene molecular signature developed to identify low-risk cancers where RT will not further reduce recurrence rates. Methods: An individual participant data meta-analysis was performed in 623 patien
This study aims to develop a comprehensive model that accurately represents the perceptual system of drivers and provides insights into their behavior. Existing models, namely the Skill-Rule-Knowledge model and the dynamic driving task model, were integrated. This integrated model successfully elucidates the sequential processes involved in sensation reception, recognition, judgment, and control.
