Management of neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome following the Norwood procedure seeks to optimize systemic oxygen delivery while maintaining an appropriate distribution between systemic and pulmonary blood flow. The objective of this study was to quantify actively circulating blood volume, total cardiac output, the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs), and vascular resistance
Ferroelectricity in Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) originates from a polymorphic landscape where the metastable orthorhombic phase competes with monoclinic and tetragonal forms, making functional properties highly sensitive to structural instability. Recent strategies have exploited ionic-vacancy mechanisms, either through redox interactions with the environment or by employing ferroionic heterostructures, to
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
This paper examines the electoral impact of economic growth through increased foreign tourism using data from Croatia. To identify causal effects, the paper applies an instrumental variable strategy, which uses variation in the ruggedness of the local terrain to estimate the network of least-cost paths. The results suggest that an increase in foreign tourism reduces nationalist voting, and increas
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
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
In this work, we derive the relationship between the states of strain and stress in pseudomorphic epitaxial layers on a substrate with differing equilibrium lattice parameters under symmetry-conserving conditions for the case of monoclinic crystal symmetry. We compare surface vectors across the template-epitaxial layer interface and impose conditions of a stress-free epitaxial layer. As a result,
After examining 4247 articles in 10 journals between 2010 and 2020, we found only 11.7% (n = 497) included explicit policy recommendations, and just 1.4% (n = 60) had explicit policy implications subsections. We analysed these 60 articles using behaviourally anchored rating scales (BARS) to assess four key aspects of the policy implications for quality and practicality. Policy implications were ge
Aim: To evaluate the impact of initial mono- versus multitherapy on the ocular surface and related quality of life after 5 years follow-up in the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS). Method: The study included patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma who completed 5-year follow-up in GITS. Assessment of ocular surface disease (OSD) symptoms was done using a Sw
The aim of this Work Package 6 (WP6) report is to describe and analyze insights from Interreg North SeaWaterWarmth demonstration pilots. Specifically, WP6 examines the pilots' innovation and governancearrangements that help implementation and scaling of aqua thermal energy (AE) systems in real-worldcontexts. The work is therefore primarily based on lessons learned through a mixed methods approach
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
The main research question that guides the analysis for this Work Package 6 Deliverable 6.3 report is: What are the barriers and opportunities that govern niche development and scaling of aqua thermal energy (AE)systems? In answering this research question, we map and analyze the enabling policy and opportunitiesthat support AE system niche development, as well as policy that can also play a role
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
While the magnitude and types of data available to orthopaedic researchers are steadily growing, standardized and efficient data management workflows for orthopaedic research using artificial intelligence (AI) are currently lacking. This work introduces essential principles and best practices for planning, collecting, storing, processing, labelling and governing data in AI-based orthopaedic resear
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: Present literature on professionalism usually focuses on individual parts of professional identity development and mostly, as these are seen and are evaluated by the dental educators. When looking at professionalism and in particular professional identity formation, It is extremely important to listen to the voice of the students regarding their thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and ideas
Introduction: Divers are reported to have a lower ventilatory response to elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than non-divers. Hypoventilation with CO₂ retention during diving is potentially dangerous. It is unknown if CO₂ retention is largely inherited or develops during diving training. We aimed to investigate if a military dive training course would influence the ventilatory response to CO₂
