The Journal Digital Corpus (JDC) is a corpus comprising transcriptions of Swedish historical newsreels, primarily sourced from the SF Veckorevy newsreels produced between the early 1910s and the 1960s. JDC includes transcribed speech from 2,553 newsreels (over two million words) and intertitles from 4,333 videos. Utilizing custom-built Python libraries, SweScribe and stum, the corpus facilitates u
Background: Studies on national policies for biologics are warranted. Objectives: To map and compare national healthcare set-ups for prescription, start, switch, tapering, and discontinuation of biologic/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in patients with psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis across Europe, and assess the healthcare set-ups in relation to c
Hypothesis: The structure and functionality of pea albumin can be described in detail as a combination of its main fractions, PA1 and PA2. Experimental: PA1 and PA2 were purified from a Pea Albumin extract (PA) using size exclusion chromatography, and characterized by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Their secondary structure was analyzed using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). T
Background: Many people ageing with late effects of polio (LEoP) experience new or increased impairments which could negatively influence daily life. Currently, there is limited knowledge how LEoP-related impairments change over time. Objectives: To assess how various self-reported impairments change over 10 years among people with LEoP, and explore factors associated with the changes. Methods: Th
Background: Portal vein embolization (PVE) may be used to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) before major hepatectomy. The influence of hyperbilirubinemia on FLR hypertrophy after PVE is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare FLR hypertrophy after PVE between patients with and without elevated P-bilirubin. Materials/methods: This is a Scandinavian retrospective cohor
An Fe(III)-NHC complex has been employed for the green light driven catalysis of base-promoted homolytic aromatic substitution (BHAS) reactions. Tributylamine was used as a sacrificial electron donor, together with potassium carbonate as base in dimethyl sulfoxide as solvent. In contrast to previously studied photocatalysts, the excited Fe(III)-NHC complex is not reducing the arylhalide substrates
Background: Combination lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) after myocardial infarction (MI) achieves lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and better cardiovascular outcomes vs statin monotherapy. As a result, global guidelines recommend lower LDL-C but, paradoxically, advise treatment through a stepwise approach. Yet the need for combination therapy is inevitable as <20% of patients
Spin-orbit torque (SOT) magnetization switching is crucial for next-generation energy-efficient spintronic technologies. The recent discovery of van der Waals (vdW) magnets holds promise for such SOT phenomena because of their tunable magnetic properties. However, a demonstration of energy-efficient and field-free SOT switching of vdW magnets is required for their potential applications. Here, we
The success of cancer immunotherapy depends on the priming of tumor-specific T and B lymphocytes. However, tumor cells often downregulate antigen presentation and mount an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which excludes immunogenic cells and hinders broad success of cancer immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) are cr
Non-Hermitian physics, studying systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, reveals unique phenomena not present in Hermitian systems. Unlike Hermitian systems, non-Hermitian systems have complex eigenvalues, making their effects less directly observable. Recently, significant efforts have been devoted to incorporating the non-Hermitian effects into condensed matter physics. However, progress
Road verges can harbour a diversity of flowering plants and may be useful foraging habitats for pollinating insects in landscapes where flower-rich habitats are scarce. Targeted management of road verges can further enhance flower abundance, thereby potentially benefitting flower-visiting insects. However, traffic on the adjacent road could pose a risk, such that flower-rich road verges instead ac
Labile organic carbon is a major nutrient, controlling microbial activity in aquatic ecosystems and contributing to the global cycling of carbon. During the production and distribution of drinking water, labile carbon fractions often escape treatment, which threatens water quality and biostability. This study proposes and compares two rapid methods for monitoring the production and removal of labi
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prototype). The objectives are as follows:. The aim of this scoping review is to map the quantitative literature about in-hospital motor interventions used to reduce neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. We will collate information about the features, delivery mechanisms, objectives, providers, underlying theoretical frameworks, hyp
Loss of genetic diversity threatens a species' adaptive potential and long-term resilience. Predicted to be extinct by 2038, the orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) is a critically endangered migratory bird threatened by numerous viral, bacterial and fungal diseases. The species has undergone multiple population crashes, reaching a low of three wild-born females and 13 males in 2016, and
INTRODUCTION: A subset of amyloid beta (Aβ)-positive Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is tau-positron emission tomography (PET) negative. We aimed to characterize this subgroup using [18F]flortaucipir PET visual read (VR), as this is important for prognosis and selection for therapies. METHODS: Aβ-positive VR tau-PET-negative AD dementia patients (AD A+T−) were compared to tau-PET-positive AD pat
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To evaluate the benefits and harms of using NGS techniques compared to conventional newborn screening alone for pre-symptomatic identification of genetic diseases in newborns. Secondary objectives: to explore equity and ethical issues in the application of the new techniques, to inform healthcare d
