Recent cross-linguistic studies on spatial language reveal a great diversity in the way languages encode spatial information. Yet, given that there are not many spatial studies that have systematically targeted languages with a Philippine-type voice system, it is not clear how spatial expression is structured in such languages. The aim of this study is to address this knowledge gap through an in-d
Objective: Comparing the anatomical distribution of metastatic and non-metastatic pelvic sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in cervical and endometrial cancer. Methods: Detailed SLN mapping results were prospectively retrieved in cervical (n = 145) or high-risk endometrial cancer (n = 201) patients undergoing a robotic staging procedure. Cervically injected Indocyanine Green (ICG), allowing for reinjectio
Background: Subjects exposed to risk factors such as age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking are prone to atherosclerotic events. Aims: The main aim of this longitudinal cohort study was to determine whether the role of novel plasma biomarkers for atherosclerotic carotid artery disease is different in subjects developing symptomatic carotid artery stenosis (CAS), as opposed to th
A series of new nonionic antimicrobial polymers with a biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) backbone grafted with indole units and different hydrophobic alkyl or ether groups were synthesized by facile esterification. The chemical structures and thermal properties of the obtained polymers were characterized by GPC, NMR, FTIR, WAXD, TGA and DSC analyses. All these nonionic polymers showed a signif
Cesium lead halides are a family of bright, visible-light emitting materials with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in nanocrystals (NCs). The usual way to achieve visible light-emission tunability is by mixing halides, which often leads to phase separation and poor stability. While the NCs should also show size-dependent PL emission, reports on strong quantum confinement in these
Objectives: To study in vivo gray matter (GM) volumes of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM) in different parkinsonian syndromes and assess their relationship with clinical variables. Methods: T1-weighted magnetic resonance images from patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP, N = 43), multiple system atrophy (MSA, N = 23), Parkinson’s disease (PD, N = 26), and healthy controls (HC, N =
Muslim marriages have been the focus of considerable public debate in Europe and beyond, in Muslim-majority countries as well as in settings where Muslims are a minority. Most academic work has focused on how the majority Sunni Muslims conclude marriages. This volume, in contrast, focuses on Twelver Shi'a Muslims in Iran, Pakistan, Oman, Indonesia, Norway, and the Netherlands. The volume makes an
Scientific assessments, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), inform policymakers and the public about the state of scientific evidence and related uncertainties. We studied how experts from different scientific disciplines who were authors of IPCC reports, interpret the uncertainty language recommended in the Guidance Note for Lead Authors of the IPCC Fifth AssessScientific assessments, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), inform policymakers and the public about the state of scientific evidence and related uncertainties.

Energy conversion devices such as alkaline membrane fuel cells and water electrolyzers rely critically on durable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) with high hydroxide conductivity. In this context, poly(arylene piperidinium)s have emerged as one of the top candidate materials. Here, we report on the preparation and properties of poly(arylene alkylene piperidinium)s (PAAPs) with significantly higher
