Introduction: There are multiple contributors to falls in older adults. Both health-related (poor balance, polypharmacy, and poor vision), and home-related (home hazards). However, most fall risk interventions only address one or two. The successful Lifestyle Intervention Functional Exercise (LiFE) program could likely be developed into a multicomponent intervention. Objectives: The objectives wer

ABSTRACT:Introduction / Rationale: From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing was recommended for adults 70 years and older (70+) in Sweden. From an outside view, they then became deprived of possibilities to engage in meaningful activities. However, as meaning is highly subjective, we need to listen to older adults’ voices to really know.Objectives: To explore how adults 70+ exper

Havs- och vattenmyndigheten har föreslagit att svenskt demersalt fiske (fiske efter bottennära arter som räka, kräfta, torsk) ska regleras med överlåtbara fiskerättigheter. En förväntad effekt av detta är en koncentration av fisket till färre men större företag. Illustrativa exempel från isländskt fiske och det svenska pelagiska fisket (sill, skarpsill, makrill) som förvaltas med liknande system v

By being predicated on supervised machine learning, pattern recognition approaches to myoelectric prosthesis control require electromyography (EMG) training data collected concurrently with every detectable motion. Within this framework, calibration protocols for simultaneous control of multifunctional prosthetic hands rapidly become prohibitively long - the number of unique motions grows geometri

Which images are made manifest across an artist’s practice and which are the ones that disappear? How do objects—whether seen or unseen—and the knowledge they possess traverse across place and time to avow their resistance? These are amongst the questions asked by artist Nour Bishouty in her artist’s book 1—130, a project that draws upon her ongoing research into the works of her father, Ghassan B

Strata compiles 37 conversations with artists whose work has made a significant contribution to the Italian and international art scene since 2000. This book is the personal account of a number of encounters, friendships, and professional relationships that Vincenzo de Bellis and Alessandro Rabottini have nurtured over the past twenty years. The conversations explore pivotal moments in each artist

This paper demonstrates a wideband 2.4 GHz $2\times 9$ -bit Cartesian radio-frequency digital-to-analog converter (RFDAC). Active-under-coil integration is introduced in the physical implementation, where all key active circuitry is located underneath the matching-network transformer, achieving a core area of merely 0.35 mm2. An 8× analog linear interpolation at the RF rate is proposed to suppress

This publication accompanies the exhibition of the same title co-produced by MACBA Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona and Sharjah Art Foundation of the United Arab Emirates. The book brings together projects that this French-Moroccan artist has produced over the last ten years, among them films, video installations, photographs and documentary material. The publication also includes documentati

The harmonic oscillator is a truly irreplaceable as well as ubiquitous analog integrated circuit. Starting from the basics of its CMOS implementation, we will discuss the phase noise of the harmonic oscillator in some detail, where the intrinsic large-signal operation mandates a time-variant analysis. This will be followed by a survey of the most popular design techniques enabling a low phase nois

This special section of the IEEE OPEN JOURNAL OF CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS (OJCAS) is dedicated to highlight the state-of-the-art research progress on circuits, systems, and algorithms associated with the design of beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G wireless systems.

We present the application of two fibre-optic-coupled time-resolved spectrofluorometers and a compact steady-state diffuse reflected light/fluorescence spectrometer to in vivo and ex vivo studies of skin cancer and osteoarthritis. In a clinical study of skin cancer, 27 lesions on 25 patients were investigated in vivo before surgical excision of the region measured. Preliminary analysis reveals a s

Challenges of insect monitoring is revised. I present our new lidar, and use remote dark-field monitoring as well as hyperspectral push-broom imaging to argue why lidar entomology is significantly improved when implemented at telecom wavelengths.

A CW-laser radar system developed for combustion diagnostics is described. It is based on triangulation to attain range information. Some initial results from measurements in sooting flames are shown and some future perspectives are discussed.

Worldwide, farmers use insecticides to prevent crop damage caused by insect pests, while they also rely on insect pollinators to enhance crop yield and other insect as natural enemies of pests. In order to target pesticides to pests only, farmers must know exactly where and when pests and beneficial insects are present in the field. A promising solution to this problem could be optical sensors com

Electroactive polymers are frequently used in engineering applications due to their ability to change their shape and properties under the influence of an electric field. This process also works vice versa, such that mechanical deformation of the material induces an electric field in the EAP device. This specific behavior makes such materials highly attractive for the construction of actuators and

Artikeln undersöker Martin Luthers reception av Erasmus Novum Testamentum omne som översättare av texten i andra upplagan (1519) och som engagerad läsare av Annotationerna i den fjärde upplagan (1527). Man drar slutsatsen att Luthers primära Vorlage för hans tyska översättning av Galaterbrevet var den grekiska kolumnen i Erasmuss andra upplaga (1519), medan hans översättning av Hebréerbrevet huvudThe article examines Martin Luther’s reception of Erasmus’ Novum Testamentum omne as a translator of the text of the second edition (1519) and as an engaged reader of the Annotations in the fourth edition (1527). It is concluded that Luther’s primary Vorlage for his German translation of Galatians was the Greek column of Erasmus’ second edition (1519), while his translation of Hebrews mainly refle

Background Orthognathic surgery addresses facial aesthetics and function in patients with dentofacial deformities. It is associated with changes in upper airway volume (UAV). If changes in UAV is perceived by asymptomatic patients is unclear. Purpose The purpose was to measure associations between changes in UAV and patient-reported benefits using patient-reported outcome measures (PROM). Study de
