This study describes the development of a three-step method called Participatory Research through Design using a co-design and dialogue approach to enhance cognitive accessibility in eHealth services in public healthcare. The method is a combination of Participatory Design, Participatory Action Research and Research through Design (RtD). Together with participants with lived experiences of cogniti

INTRODUCTION: Child stunting, a measure of malnutrition, is a major global health challenge affecting 148.1 million children in 2022. Global stunting rates have declined from 47.2% in 1985 to 22.3% in 2022; however, trends before the mid-1980s are unclear, including whether child stunting was previously prevalent in current high-income countries (HICs). We conducted a systematic review of child gr

In the 1960s and 1970s, Third World diplomats and jurists developed a distinct understanding of the use of force in international law. Two conclusions emerged from the understanding that colonial rule had been a “permanent aggression” against their territories: Firstly, a right to self-defense against colonial domination is a necessary corollary to the right to self-determination in the face of vi

We introduce a new initialization method for 3D Gaussians used in 3D occupancy estimation, a key task in autonomous driving that involves identifying semantic elements in a vehicle's surroundings and accurately locating them in space. Our approach leverages distance sensor data, such as from lidar or radar, to place 3D Gaussians using farthest point sampling, ensuring coverage of meaningful scene

Philosophical debate on conspiracy theories divides between particularism, which argues for an evaluation of conspiracy theories on a case by case, and generalism, which treats them — as a class — as inherently irrational. This divide complicates how we interpret empirical research on conspiracy theory belief. Many psychological and social-scientific studies emphasize correlations between conspira

INTRODUCTION: There are few recent studies on trends over time in functional outcome and mortality after stroke, with results separately presented for ischaemic stroke (IS) or ICH. We aimed to determine temporal changes in functional outcome and case-fatality 90 days after IS and ICH in Sweden between 2010 and 2019. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We included patients (≥18 years) with first-ever IS or ICH r

The paper analyses the legal framework for the collection and distribution of remote sensing data, particularly in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection at the European level. The research firstly focuses on the historical evolution of space law at the international, European, and national levels, starting from the 1970s. In parallel, environmental law has rapidly devel

Research in computational mechanics is increasingly in search of methods that directly incorporate the information governed by data. Within these data-based methods, the data-driven mechanics approach seeks to replace conventional material models with discrete data sets. Offering immense potential in computational mechanics, where the simulation of complex mechanical systems is often challenging,

Much of the hype about AI exploits the fact that human cognition, language, and categorization rely on imaginative scaffolding. Some degree of metaphor and conceptual borrowing should not be seen as a methodological failure. Law does not meet AI as a blank slate. It reaches for metaphors and other imaginative patterns that make the unfamiliar legible, channeling attention toward certain features a

Self-care has emerged as a critical practice of resistance in the current era of far-right resurgence. Building particularly on Audre Lorde’s insights, scholars, activists, and cultural workers conceptualize self-care as an act of political defiance and a strategy of collective survival. This article brings three different views of self-care into conversation. Beginning with Lorde's vision and con

Purpose: Diffusion MRI probes tissue microstructure, but low SNR and limited resolution hinder detection of features and parameter estimates. We introduce slice excitation with random overlap (SERO), which enables variable repetition times (TRs) and diffusion weighting within a single shot. This acquisition supports super-resolution reconstruction of baseline signal ((Formula presented.)), diffusi

Memory functions are susceptible to age-related cognitive decline, making it essential to explore the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms that contribute to memory function during healthy ageing. Resting-state EEG (rsEEG) parameters, particularly the aperiodic exponent, a marker of cortical excitation-inhibition balance, and individual alpha peak frequency, a correlate of neural processing ef
