Background: Patients in the forensic mental health services (FMHS) with a mental disorder, a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD), and high risk of aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB) are sometimes referred to as the ‘triply troubled’. They suffer poor treatment outcomes, high rates of criminal recidivism, and increased risk of drug related mortality. To improve treatment for this heterogene

This chapter considers the creation of the Later Life Audio and Radio Co-operative (LLARC) as an outcome of a participatory action research (PAR) project with a focus on facilitating later life civic participation. Developed in the UK, but with potential to become a global initiative, the LLARC is a collaborative network of older content creators, age-friendly radio stations, third-sector organisa

Context. Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) contains the second release of the combined radial velocities. It is based on the spectra collected during the first 34 months of the nominal mission. The longer time baseline and the improvements of the pipeline made it possible to push the processing limit from GRVS= 12 in Gaia DR2 to GRVS= 14 mag. Aims. We describe the new functionalities implemented for

Walking and biking are active transport modes, that may be part of sustainable transport chains, thereby reducing car use. In the scientific literature, they have commonly been investigated separately (e.g. Ewing et al., 2006; Kellstedt et al., 2021), but since pedestrians and cyclists often share the same environments, it makes sense to consider them jointly. This research proposes a conceptual m

OBJECTIVES: We sought to explore 25-year trends of gender disparity in the prevalence of obesity and overweight both in urban and rural areas among Chinese children from 1985 to 2010.METHODS: Data included 1 280 239 children aged 7-18 years enrolled in the Chinese National Survey on Students's Constitution and Health (CNSSCH), which is the largest nationally representative sample of school-aged ch

Limited research has assessed whether sports participation can be linked to decreasing risky sexual behavior among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. The current study aimed to assess whether participation in a football league that provides sexual and reproductive health and rights lessons before each football match strengthened adolescent Zambian girls’ sexual health knowledge, attitudes, an

148Gd may contribute to around 50% of the dose from inhalation in case of an accident at the European Spallation Source. Methods for its detection have been developed. They rely on biokinetic models predicting activities of the gamma emitters 146Gd (T1/2= 48.3 d) and 153Gd (T1/2= 240.4 d) as tracers in the lungs, urine, and faeces. The optimal choice of model parameters and associated uncertaintie

Barriers to healthcare for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are rooted in stigma and discrimination against MSM fuelled by the criminalization of homosexuality. These barriers are influenced by factors involving MSM and the healthcare workers (HCWs). MSM are uncomfortable disclosing their identities and conceal symptoms of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especial

Future Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems need to combine heterogeneous IoT components and support weak connectivity. This paper introduces ComPOS, a domain-specific language for composing IoT services into systems. ComPOS is a small language but supports powerful message mediation, using stateful reactions with nested and parallel message sequences and anonymous futures. To deal with weak connectiv

With growing urbanization and increase in energy demand for space heating and cooling in buildings, reliability, security, distribution of energy and its efficient end use is of utmost importance particularly when emissions from energy use and indoor thermal comfort of the end users isof question. Numerous solutions have been put forth in the field of effective distribution of thermal energy to me

The lead intervention article argues that the new reality of the planetary organic crisis awaits a normative critical social theory of planetary politics, a means of understanding the sharing of relationships within International Relations and an agenda for action in concert found in the normative power approach. The article and subsequent 20th anniversary special issue provide an opportunity to r

Proteinopathy, defined as the abnormal accumulation of proteins that eventually leads to cell death, is one of the most significant pathological features of neurodegenerative diseases. Tauopathies, represented by Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and synucleinopathies, represented by Parkinson’s disease (PD), show similarities in multiple aspects. AD manifests extrapyramidal symptoms while dementia is als

Milk is a nutrient-dense fluid which is essential for a healthy balanced diet. Thermal processing is the dominating approach in the dairy industry to ensure food safety, however, heat treatment can alter both the composition and quality of the milk. The aim of this thesis has been to evaluate the effects of various processing technologies on the nutrient content and physical properties of milk and

The ice phenology of alpine lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a rapid and direct responder to climate changes, and the variations in lake ice exhibit high temporal frequency characteristics. MODIS and passive microwave data are widely used to monitor lake ice changes with high temporal resolution. However, the low spatial resolutions make it difficult to effectively quantify the freeze-melt dyn

Recognising the need for objective imaging-based technologies to assess wound healing in clinical studies, the suction blister wound model offers an easily accessible wound model that creates reproducible epidermal wounds that heal without scarring. This study provides a comprehensive methodology for implementing and evaluating photography-based imaging techniques utilising the suction blister wou
