Background: Cancer care for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) is challenging, with evidence of disparities, late diagnoses, and overlooked experiences of the individuals in question.Aim: To explore how individuals with concomitant ID and cancer experience the illness and navigate cancer care trajectories and everyday life from perspectives of themselves, their relatives and professio
The observation of the electroweak production of a W boson and a photon in association with two jets, using pp collision data at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre of mass energy of s=13 TeV, is reported. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment from 2015 to 2018 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb-1. This process is sensitive to the quartic gauge boson couplings via the
Fungi are one of the most diverse groups of organisms with an estimated number of species in the range of 2–3 million. The higher-level ranking of fungi has been discussed in the framework of molecular phylogenetics since Hibbett et al., and the definition and the higher ranks (e.g., phyla) of the ‘true fungi’ have been revised in several subsequent publications. Rapid accumulation of novel genomi
In the present work, we addressed the relationship between parental leave policies and social norms. Using a pre-registered, cross-national approach, we examined the relationship between parental leave policies and the perception of social norms for the gender division of childcare. In this study, 19,259 students (11,924 women) from 48 countries indicated the degree to which they believe childcare
Structural proteomics has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the convergence of advanced experimental methodologies and computational innovations. Cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, including cross-linking MS (XL-MS), hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDX-MS), and limited proteolysis MS (LiP-MS), now enable unprecedented insights into protein topology, conformational d
Background and objective: There are multiple pharmacological treatment options for motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). These comprise multiple drug classes which are approved for the condition, including levodopa, dopamine agonists, COMT inhibitors, MAO-B inhibitors, NMDA-receptor antagonists, anticholinergics, and others. Some of the drugs are approved for monotherapy and combination ther
Objective: To validate the ISGPS definition and grading system of PPAP after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Summary Background Data: In 2022, the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) defined post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) and recommended a prospective validation of its diagnostic criteria and grading system. Methods: This was a prospective, international, multicente
This paper presents a low-profile, single-layer, broadband, polarization-reconfigurable metasurface antenna with a low radar cross section (RCS). The design leverages characteristic mode analysis (CMA) applied to a staggered elliptical-shaped unit cell metasurface. The unique arrangement of the elliptical-shaped elements, oriented at 90°, promotes mode fusion through CMA, effectively reducing RCS.
We study the distribution of sequences of the form (qny)∞n=1, where (qn)∞n=1 is some increasing sequence of integers. In particular, we study the Lebesgue measure and find bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points γ ∈ [0, 1) which are well approximated by points in the sequence (qny)∞n=1. The bounds on Hausdorff dimension are valid for almost every y in the support of a measure of pos
In this study, we use a data assimilation framework based on the adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to constrain process parameters in LPJ-GUESS model using CH4 eddy-covariance flux observations from 14 different natural boreal, temperate, and arctic wetlands. The objective is to derive a single set of calibrated parameter values. The calibrated parameter values are then used in th
Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [Co(II)(L)(CH3CN)]2+, where L is one of three pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized. The capacity of the three complexes to effect photocatalytic proton reduction has been examined. Their photocatalytic activities in the presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+, acting as a photosensitizer, and asc
Urbanity is primarily a term for experiencing the city, and urban experience is very much about memory. Since urban meaning, as perceptual meaning generally, is not predominantly made up of signs, other notions of meaning, such as extended cognition or exogram, introduced by cognitive science, affordance, as in Gibsonean psychology, and sedimentation, in the sense of Husserl, are tried out, and fo
Background: We investigated the impact of time to adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) on survival after surgical resection (<8 weeks or 8–16 weeks) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by applying a target-trial emulation. Material and Methods: We used Swedish population-based healthcare registries to emulate a hypothetical target trial, with treatment arms of ‘initiate AC <8 weeks postoper
