Background: While shared decision making is a cornerstone of orthopedic care, orthopedic surgeons face challenges in tailoring their advice and expectation management to individual shoulder arthroplasty patients due to the lack of systematically summarized evidence-based knowledge. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of current knowledge on independent predictive effects of patient-
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of clustering of care activities for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants.
This document is created within the research project Nordic Fire and Rescue Services in the Twenty First Century (FIRE21). In this project, the fire and rescue services are seen as both governed by, and dependent on, formal and informal networks. A fundamental assumption in the research project is that efficient emergency management is dependent on efficient problem-solving in these networks. As a
Background: Despite the proven efficacy of telestroke in improving clinical outcomes by providing access to specialized expertise and allowing rapid expert hyperacute stroke management and decision-making, detailed operational evidence is scarce, especially for less developed or lower income regions. Aim: We aimed to map the global telestroke landscape and characterize existing networks. Methods:
This chapter introduces the Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurial Learning. It provides a brief review of how entrepreneurial learning emerged as a research field during the 1990s and early 2000s, coupled with an overview of the research field based on a bibliometric analysis of published research in the past fifteen years. It uses this analysis to depict the evolution of articles over time, top
The demand for cost- and time-effective and customizable components for High Vacuum (HV) and Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) systems has prompted exploration into the application of 3D-printing technology. This study investigates the viability of utilizing 3D-printed plastics in UHV environments by evaluating their outgassing properties. An extensive evaluation of 3D-printing materials was carried out, hi
Traffic related non-exhaust particulate sources and road dust are an increasingly important source for PM10 air pollution as exhaust sources are decreasing due to regulations. In the Nordic countries, the road dust problem is enhanced by use of studded tyres, causing increased road wear and winter road maintenance including gritting. Efforts to reduce road dust emissions requires knowledge on temp
Chronic wounds, particularly pressure ulcers, pose significant healthcare challenges, especially in the elderly population. This study presents an experimental murine model of chronically infected pressure ulcers using a single cycle of magnet-induced ischemic injury combined with infection by bioluminescent Staphylococcus aureus. The model addresses previous limitations in studying pressure ulcer
We present the building blocks of an energy-efficient on-chip platform for neural network applications based on III-V semiconductor nanowires and nanopillar arrays. These will work as emitting and detecting neurosynaptic nodes for spiking nanocircuits, as light sensors that emulate navigational properties of insect vision systems.
Dust burden during the dust storms events imparts an adverse effect on human health and environment. The aim of this research is to provide a deeper understanding about the atmospheric dynamics of long-range transport of mineral dust for 8 severe dust storm events over the Indian region during the period 2008–2022. Transport of mineral dust analyzed based on MERRA-2 Dust column mass density, follo
In this study, a coupled transient thermomechanical finite element model is developed to examine the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process of the Inconel 718 (IN718) and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) superalloys (ODS-IN718). The linear isotropic elastic perfectly plastic constitutive model is implemented for the mechanical part whereas all the thermophysical properties are defined as fully
This paper looks at the role of gender in the shaping and exercise of political authority. Its empirical focus is a slum in central Trivandrum, Kerala's capital city, which is undergoing a phased process of formalisation and rebuilding funded through a flagship Indian national programme, the JNNURM. The upgrade project should offer a dense network of ‘invited’ spaces for female participation withi
Motivation Efforts to address health disparities are often limited by the lack of robust computational tools for inferring genetic ancestry by calculating an individual's genetic similarity to continental groups. We have already shown that a preferred alternative to self-described race is using ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) that can be classified into ancestral components and used to estimat
Purpose: Developmental language disorder (DLD) has known consequences on academic performance, and adaptations to teaching methods and material are often required to counteract negative outcomes. This study used first-hand reports from students with DLD and their caregivers to explore how individual and school-related factors influence academic achievement and provision of educational support. Met
Spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) is emerging as a powerful tool in cancer therapy for patients who are ineligible for treatment with clinically established irradiation techniques. Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) is characterized by spatial dose fractionation in the micrometre range. This presents challenges in both treatment planning and dosimetry. While a dosimetry system with a spatial re
Aims To study the prevalence of masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) in patients recently hospitalized for myocardial infarction, and to develop machine learning-based prediction models identifying MUCH. Methods and results Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) was performed in 99 patients following hospitalization for a myocardial infarction. Sixty-two clinical variables were eligible f
Memory decline is a central cognitive symptom in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). While task-fMRI studies link hippocampal activity (AHA) to poorer memory and olfactory performance, this relationship during rest remains understudied. The objectives of this study are to examine differences in resting-state hippocampal networks, explore the occurrence of reduced AHA within these networks, and investigate i
