Background/introductionFlecainide is a commonly used efficient antiarrhythmic drug against atrial fibrillation (AF). P-wave indices reflect the atrial substrate and can predict incident AF, but their role as predictors of treatment outcomes for flecainide-treated AF patients are unknown.PurposeTo assess if P-wave indices can predict efficacy outcomes in long-term flecainide treated AF patients.Met
Purpose: Application of standardised and automated assessments of head computed tomography (CT) for neuroprognostication after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: Prospective, international, multicentre, observational study within the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial. Routine CTs from adult unconscious patients obtained > 48 h
Press release:Joakim Sandqvist explores what influences our perception of the world and its objects – from concrete manipulation to cultural context. As an artist, he works with a wide range of media in a process where the material and its story is essential. Behind each work lies thorough research spanning over a long period, sometimes several years. The artistic work often begins with something
The aim of this prospective, international multicenter, pseudorandomized study comparing RICT HCT to standard-of-care chemotherapy in intermediate- or high-risk AML patients 50–70 years using the donor versus no-donor concept. Part 1 included only patients with potential family donors (RD) at the date of HLA-typing of the first potential sibling or CR-date, if later. Part 2 allowed the inclusion o
Fish fins are remarkable devices of propulsion. Fin morphology is intimately linked to locomotor performance, and hence to behaviours that influence fitness, such as foraging and predator avoidance. This foreshadows a connection between fin morphology and variation in predation risk. Yet, whether prey can adjust fin morphology according to changes in perceived risk within their lifetime (a.k.a. pr
Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging technique that allows measurement of spectral absorption at each point of a scene, thus offering the capability to identify and characterize important biomarkers for clinical practice and therapeutic research, as well as enhancing image identification of important structures. So far, few hyperspectral cameras have been used for retinal scanning because of the n
We take our empirical and theoretical starting point in the practices of ecopreneurship in the making of marine markets. Seaweed has gained renewed relevance in the wake of a growing interest in alternative production and consumption. This coincides with a widespread interest in the environment and the production of sustainable lifestyles. In this context, there are a number of women entrepreneurs
Industrial workers in Ukraine have a complex political lifeworld because their political action aimed at bringing radical social change coexists with a demobilizing stance that condemns all political participation as corrupt. This contradictory attitude to politics defines the character of populist mass mobilizations that shook Ukraine in 2004 and 2014, as well as the electoral overhaul of 2019 a
The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war seems to have prompted a return to anthropology's origins: the armchair. Claiming authority based on status and knowledge accumulated elsewhere and extrapolated to Ukraine, public scholars have proffered takes, op-eds, and geopolitical phantasies. Slow research in the full ethnographic mode, studying actors and subjectivities in fast shifting contexts, would have be
Abstract in FrenchCet article interroge la nature spontanée de la politisation des ouvrier·ère·s habitant une région russophone ukrainienne. Leur mobilisation face à l’invasion russe récente est d’autant plus paradoxale que la ville en question a toujours été considérée comme « pro-russe », et que la population locale n’a pas ressenti d’intérêt pour la politique.

Abstract in French:L’article interroge les configurations de pouvoir industrielles (factory regimes) à Kryvyi Rih, une ville minière et sidérurgique située à l’est de l’Ukraine. En s’appuyant sur un travail de terrain ethnographique, il retrace la reproduction de l’hégémonie industrielle au travers des transformations postsoviétiques (la privatisation et les mesures d’austérité). La comparaison deThis article investigates factory regimes in Kryvyi Rih, a mining and metalworking city in eastern Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it studies the reproduction of industrial hegemony in the context of major post-Soviet transformations (privatization and austerity measures). The comparison of three cases representing different hegemonic configurations (mines privatized by Ukrainian busines
This article examines hegemonic norms of political and moral economy in Ukraine today acting at the level of the workplace. My research is based on fieldwork I conducted in a large industrial city in the east of Ukraine from January to June 2019. Using the general Gramsci-inspired theoretical framework and the insights of Hillel Ticktin, Simon Clarke and Michael Burawoy regarding Soviet and post-S
In order to explore factors conditioning the political quietude of Ukrainian labor, this article analyzes ethnographic data collected at two large enterprises: the Kyiv Metro and the privatized electricity supplier Kyivenergo. Focusing on a recent labor conflict, I unpack various contexts condensed in it. I analyze the hegemonic configuration developed in the early 1990s, at the workplace and at t
This article examines the asymptotic behavior of the Widom factors, denoted Wn, for Chebyshev polynomials of finite unions of Jordan arcs. We prove that, in contrast to Widom’s proposal in Widom (Adv Math 3:127–232, 1969), when dealing with a single smooth Jordan arc, Wn converges to 2 exclusively when the arc is a straight line segment. Our main focus is on analysing polynomial preimages of the i
Climate change and land degradation menace ecosystem sustainability. This study assessed the effectiveness of integrating nature-based solutions (NBSs); soil and water conservation techniques, agroforestry, and reforestation, to mitigate these impacts. Focusing on carbon storage and sediment retention at the watershed level (Sidi Barrak), the InVEST model quantified changes from 1990 to 2050 under
