Organic pollutants in aquatic environments pose a threat to ecosystems and human health, a challenge that requires urgent resolution. This urgent threat highlights the need for the development of efficient technologies for pollutant detection and degradation in environmental protection. This study presents the successful fabrication of a composite nanomaterial consisting of Ag nanoparticle-decorat
Aim: To provide an overview of a project aimed at enhancing person-centred surgical care through teamwork and professional development. Design: A discursive paper with the purpose of describing and discussing the project activities to strengthen person-centred care, teamwork and professional development. Methods: This project aimed to strengthen evidence-based surgical nursing care within a Surger
Objective To train and validate a deep learning-based diagnostic tool capable of accurately segmenting the alveolar cleft region and automatically estimating the required bone graft volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Study Design Eighty-eight CBCT scans from patients with nonsyndromic unilateral clefts were divided into training (n = 45), validation (n = 10), and test (n =
Viral hepatitis remains a global health concern, with growing recognition of the impact of hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and herpesvirus-associated hepatitis, particularly in vulnerable groups. This narrative review from the ESCMID Study Group for Viral Hepatitis (ESGVH) summarizes recent advances and expert perspectives. For HAV, insights into viral evolution, epidemiology, an
Childhood stunting is a serious public health concern in Rwanda. Although stunting causes have been documented, we still lack a more in-depth understanding of their local factors at a more detailed geographic level. We cross-sectionally examined 615 height-for-age prevalence observations in the Northern Province of Rwanda, linked with their related covariates, to explore the spatial heterogeneity
Dual temperature- and photoresponsive polymer nanoparticles with sensitivity toward temperature variation through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-assisted white light emission (WLE) were synthesized using distillation-precipitation polymerization. A fluorescence chemosensor of temperature, white light-emitting anticounterfeiting inks, and different products for security encryption of
This study assesses the potential benefit of Blue-Green Solutions (BGS), green rooftops, rain gardens, permeable pavements, and bioswales, in Lisbon, Portugal. These proposed mitigation measures are applied using TFM-DYN (Nilsson et al., 2021) to simulate potential fluvial flooding distributions from a 10- and 50-year rain event.Water depth of over 30 centimeters can cause damage to infrastructure
We present a search for magnetic monopoles and high-electric-charge objects using LHC Run (Formula presented.) TeV proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector. A total integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 was collected by a specialized trigger. No highly ionizing particle candidate was observed. Considering the Drell-Yan and photon-fusion pair production mechanisms as benchmark models, cr
Background: People with a psychotic disorder commonly experience problems in social cognition and functioning. Social cognition training (SCT) improves social cognition, but may inadequately simulate real-life social interactions. Virtual reality (VR) provides a realistic, interactive, customizable, and controllable training environment, which could facilitate the application of skills in daily li
Background: In attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), poor inhibitory control is one of the main characteristics, with oculomotor inhibition impairments being considered a potential biomarker of the disorder. While auditory white noise has demonstrated the ability to enhance working memory in this group, visual white noise is still unexplored and so are the effects of both types of white
Background and aims: Normative values are lacking regarding intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) in thin sections of 5 µm. Thus, we aimed to assess IENFD in thin sections in a healthy adult population as well as to investigate whether IENFD is related to age, sex, and site of excision.Methods: Archival skin biopsies or excisions at the Department of Pathology, Lund, Sweden, from arm and leg
Filter exchange imaging (FEXI) is a double diffusion-encoding (DDE) sequence that is specifically sensitive to exchange between sites with different apparent diffusivities. FEXI uses a diffusion-encoding filtering block followed by a detection block at varying mixing times to map the exchange rate. Long mixing times enhance the sensitivity to exchange, but they pose challenges for imaging applicat
Textile industry wastewater (WW) has intense color, high chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, and salinity, making it challenging for conventional treatment. Soda lakes, with high alkalinity and salinity, host diverse microbes capable of textile dye degradation. This study evaluated anaerobic/aerobic reactors using alkaliphilic microbial consortia from Lake Chitu, an Ethiopian soda lake, for treating
The TFM-DYN model represents a significant advancement from static flow accumulation estimations into dynamic hydrological modeling (Nilsson et al., 2021). It incorporates variable precipitation in time and space as input together with high-resolution topography and includes functions for friction and infiltration to produce results such as water depths, flow velocity, inundated areas, flow pathwa
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome. W
This chapter responds to the following question: what substantive positive obligations did the Court formulate in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz under Article 8 ECHR that can actually guide the future conduct of States? To frame it even more specifically, what is the content of these positive obligations? More precisely, this content is clarified through the lens of the standard of causation. Cau
