Suicide attempts among adolescents are common and can lead to death. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with suicide attempts among secondary school-going adolescents in the Kilimanjaro region, northern Tanzania. The study used data from two repeated regional school-based student health surveys (RSHS), conducted in 2019 (Survey 1) and 2022 (Survey 2). Data were anal

Background: Registries are important in rare disease research. The Anorectal Malformation Network (ARM-Net) registry is a well-established European patient registry collecting demographic, clinical, and functional outcome data. We assessed the quality of this registry through review of the structure, data elements, collected data, and user experience. Material and methods: Design and data elements

Rapporten utgör den andra av tre delrapporter och redovisar resultatet av forskning på uppdrag av Försvarsmakten.The report is the second of three sub-reports and presents the results of a research commissioned by the Swedish Armed Forces.

Reversible phosphorylation is an important regulatory mechanism. Regulation of protein phosphorylation in β-cells has been extensively investigated, but less is known about protein dephosphorylation. To understand the role of protein dephosphorylation in β-cells and type 2 diabetes (T2D), we first examined mRNA expression of the type 2C family (PP2C) of protein phosphatases in islets from T2D dono

Both intelligence operatives and criminals have a constant need to be able to communicate clandestinely, circumventing surveillance efforts carried out by highly capable adversaries. The recent highly-publicized breaches of internet-based clandestine communications technology and targeted malware attacks, in combination with increasingly sophisticated methods for surveillance of internet traffic h

The Earth’s magnetic field (or geomagnetic field) has been measured for hundreds of years, starting with maritime observations from logbooks for navigation purposes to present day real-time recording by satellites. From these records, the geomagnetic field variation throughout recent time is well-understood. In order to study longer term field variations (on the scale of hundreds to thousands of y

Alterations of the sense of self induced by meditation include an increased sense of boundarylessness. In this study, we investigatedbehavioural and functional magnetic resonance imaging correlates of trait self-boundarylessness during resting state and the performanceof two experimental tasks. We found that boundarylessness correlated with greater self-endorsement of words related to fluidityand

IntroductionNine in ten of the world’s 1.74 million adolescents living with human immunodeficiency virus (ALHIV) live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and poor viral suppression are important problems among adolescents. To guide intervention efforts in this regard, this review presented pooled estimates on the prevalence of adherence and how it is affecte

As the dream of autonomous vehicles moving around in our world comes closer, the problem of robust localization and mapping is essential to solve. In this inherently structured and geometric problem we also want the agents to learn from experience in a data driven fashion. How the modern Neural Network models can be combined with Structure from Motion (SfM) is an interesting research question and As the dream of autonomous vehicles moving around in our world comes closer, the problem of robust localization and mapping is essential to solve.

The differential cross section of inelastic electron scattering for the low-lying “collective” Kπ=1+ excitations in rare-earth nuclei is calculated in DWBA by using microscopically calculated transition-densities. In the region of low-momentum transfer (q⪅0.5 fm-1) in which experimental data are available the shape of calcualted cross sections is almost the same for all nuclei and is slightly but

The influence of a quadrupole pair interaction on Kπ = 1+ states in rare earth nuclei is investigated using the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation. Comparison of the obtained results with available experimental data indicates a rather weak quadrupole pair interaction in these nuclei. The calculation of the B(M1) strength is extended to higher energies to account for the recently observed hig
