Spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) affects ~3.4 million people worldwide each year, causing ~2.8 million deaths. Many randomised controlled trials and high-quality observational studies have added to the evidence base for the management of people with ICH since the last European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines for the management of spontaneous ICH were published in 20

This contribution aims to identify and clarify emotional aspects of conducting observation studies. The researcher, in most cases, does not want to interfere with or influence the phenomenon under observation, but uses her/himself as a tool to collect material. Even if the observer does not participate verbally, s/he can be emotionally participative using her/his emotions as a methodological tool,

Probabilistic numerical solvers for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) treat the numerical simulation of dynamical systems as problems of Bayesian state estimation. Aside from producing posterior distributions over ODE solutions and thereby quantifying the numerical approximation error of the method itself, one less-often noted advantage of this formalism is the algorithmic flexibility gained

This chapter explores performances of emotion regulation through a dramaturgical lens, focusing on occupations with high performative demands. While reviewing research and theorizing on performance, we point to key intersections between sociological studies on emotion management and psychological studies on emotion regulation. First, we focus on the scaffolding of performance, how the script and t

With the rapid development of blood biomarkers (BBMs) related to amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the question arises whether these can replace the accepted reference standard, positron emission tomography (PET), for assessing Aβ burden. BBMs can differentiate Aβ status reliably in cognitively impaired patients, but two-threshold strategies to further improve their performance

Access is the process of establishing rapport with a field containing different phases without an articulated end. Qualitative research often involves studying people in their social setting, documenting action, and meaning making in relation to the field in which it occurs through ethnographic methods such as observations, shadowing, and interviews. Gaining permission to a site or a specific grou

The literature on diversity has grown rapidly in the last decade. Research from different areas has suggested that diversity is a critical factor in creativity, knowledge generation, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the level of organizations, cities, regions, and whole countries. This chapter introduces the topic of diversity and discusses its role for creativity, knowledge production, innovat

This issue of Journal of Scandinavian Cinema demonstrates the methodological diversity characterizing contemporary cinema scholarship. Four contributions span from the archival reconstruction of a lost Swedish children’s film and a documentary on Bronze Age artworks to theoretical analyses of irony and environmentalim in Icelandic cinema and Finnish production paradoxes. Together, they reveal how

The model of technological cognition presented by Federico et al. does not specify how information is processed in and between the different hubs. Following Cisek’s proposal for an ‘ecological’ perspective on cognition, I discuss the role of affordances in action specification and action selection. Artifacts afford a multitude of action, but most of them must be learned. This involves learning new

Abstract – Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with Africa bearing a disproportionately high burden of poor outcomes. In sub-Saharan Africa, acute stroke care remains inconsistent, with organized stroke units being either absent or rarely available, contributing to the high stroke mortality rates in the region. To address this issue, the Tanzania Stroke Pro

A spectrally and polarization-resolved wavefront detector can measure the spatio-temporal vector electric field of ultrashort laser pulses in a single shot.
