INTRODUCTION: During the judicial process of addressing violent crime, a forensic practitioner may need to assess whether an inflicted injury should be considered life-threatening. This could be important for the classification of the crime. To some extent, these assessments are arbitrary since the natural course of an injury might not be completely known. To guide the assessment, a quantitative a
Research on long-term historical inequality has expanded to include previously neglected periods and societies, particularly in the global South. This is partly due to the resurgence of the social tables method in economic history, an approach which uses archival records to reconstruct income and wealth distributions in contexts where micro data is unavailable. This methodcan cause a downward bias
In 2005, Pachon et al.1 proposed cardiac vagal denervation to treat neurally mediated syncope. Since then, a metanalysis of observational studies2 and a recent randomized controlled trial (RCT)3 have provided some evidence that cardioneuroablation (CNA) is able to prevent syncope recurrence at least during the first 2 years following the procedure in patients affected by reflex syncope. In brief,
BackgroundAmbulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring has long been used to monitor BP in hypertension and lately emerged as a useful tool to detect hypotensive susceptibility in reflex syncope. However, hemodynamic characteristics in reflex syncope have not been sufficiently explored. The present study investigated the differences between ambulatory BP monitoring profiles associated with reflex syn
The pandemic process, which has affected the whole world, has deeply affected social, economic, and political structures, institutions, and human relations at the international and local scale. While central governments made various decisions at the national level to manage the pandemic process and protect public health, various policy and implementation tools were implemented by municipalities at
När medborgare vill gå samman och äga och producera energi gemensamt finns det olika sätt att organisera det på. I den här community briefen presenterar vi fem olika modeller av energigemenskaper. Modellerna baseras på en analys av 12 existerande solenergigemenskaper i Sverige. Genom att presentera de olika modellerna för delat ägande av förnybar energi hoppas vi kunna inspirera fler att etablera
This special issue follows on from a special call for contributions to the ECER 2016 conference in Dublin on the need to rethink and reconceptualise internationalisation in higher education (HE). The papers in this special issue contribute to a critically reflective interdisciplinary discussion on the phenomena ofinternationalisation in terms of the evolution of the structures, systems, and functi
Digital technologies in health care areexpected to increase in scope and to affect ever more partsof the health care system. It is important to enhance theknowledge of whether new digital methods and innovationsprovide value for money compared with traditional modelsof care.Objective The objective of the study was to evaluatewhether a digital health care model for primary care is aless costly alte
I denna rapport presenteras resultaten av den intervjustudie och efterföljande fokusgruppsdiskussion som vi genomfört inom ramen för forskningsprojektet Green Industrial Transitions (GIST, www.gist2050.com). Forskningsprojektets huvudsyfte är att studera förutsättningarna för en omställning till nollutsläpp av koldioxid inom den svenska basindustrin samt analysera strategier, åtgärder och styrmede
The rapid advancement of imaging technologies in pathology has ushered in an era of data-intensive diagnostic workflows, generating large volumes of data that demand sophisticated segmentation and compression techniques. Chemical imaging approaches offer an all-digital objective approach to pathological analysis, though image segmentation is required for efficient computation. Convolutional autoen
This article puts forward the core argument that a pedagogical shift is very much needed if we want to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities represented by increasingly diverse educational settings and move towards a more inclusive, equal, and just academia. First, it is suggested that we replace the current pedagogical models in use, namely, the teacher-centered and student-c
High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) is a significant clinical challenge. MYCN and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK), which are often involved in high-risk NB, lead to increased replication stress in cancer cells, suggesting therapeutic strategies. We previously identified an ATR (ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related)/ALK inhibitor (ATRi/ALKi) combination as such a strategy in two independent genetically
In this paper, we aggregate, analyze, and exemplify several metrics for the information value. The metrics vary by absolute value, normalizations, or full probabilistic quantification. The normalization of the information value encompasses the division by (1) the expected and maximized utility of the base scenario (usually without additional information), (2) by the system performance, or (3) by t
Cancer invasion and metastasis are known to be potentiated by the expression of aquaporins (AQPs). Likewise, the expression levels of AQPs have been shown to be prognostic for survival in patients and have a role in tumor growth, edema, angiogenesis, and tumor cell migration. Thus, AQPs are key players in cancer biology and potential targets for drug development. Here, we present the single-partic
Retention in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) care is critical to prevent vertical HIV transmission and reduce morbidity and mortality of mother-infant pairs. We investigated whether weekly, interactive text-messaging improved 18-month postpartum retention in PMTCT care. This randomised, two-armed, parallel trial was conducted at six PMTCT clinics in western Kenya.

The article focuses on a particular type of Islamic marriage, so-called imam marriages, which are not recognised by the Jordanian state but widely practised among and with Syrian refugees since their influx to Jordan in 2011. State institutions and feminist humanitarian organisations advocate a registration of these marriages on the basis of fulfilling UN conventions on gender and human rights pro
