Blink characteristics such as duration, amplitude, and eyelid velocity are widely used indicators of cognitive and physiological states. While early magnetic search coil studies suggested that vertical eye orientation relative to the head influences blink measurements, subsequent research has largely ignored this factor. No studies have investigated whether vertical eye orientation effects replica

Swedish tragedies from the first half of the eighteenth century often looked at French drama, but there are notable instances where inspiration seems to have come from elsewhere: Erik Wrangel’s Torilla (1738), for example, breaks conventions expected of French theatre by letting princes battle supernatural forces on stage; the story presented in Eric Brander’s Cleopatra (1749) seems familiar from

The Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater on Mars, which once contained a lake of liquid water. We report the rock properties encountered by Perseverance during a 10-kilometer traverse extending over 400 meters in elevation, from beneath Jezero's western sedimentary fan to the upper crater rim. These rocks consist of coarse-grained olivine, magnesium and iron carbonates, silica, and phyllosil

Objective: In the present study, we investigated the role of the gut–liver crosstalk in the pathogenesis of steatotic liver disease (SLD) induced by the compounding and deleterious effects of alcohol and metabolic risk factors, and explored the potential translational aspects of microbiome-based interventions. Design: The effects of combined exposure to alcohol and a high-fat, high-cholesterol die

The link between regional tau load and clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) highlights the importance of characterizing spatial tau distribution across disease variants. In typical (memory-predominant) AD, the spatial progression of tau pathology mirrors the functional connections from temporal lobe epicentres. However, given the limited spatial heterogeneity of tau in typical AD, at

In Swedish feminist debates of the 1960s and 1970s, the productive woman was frequently constructed as the binary opposite of the non-productive woman. The former was associated with liberation, moral integrity, and independence. The latter was characterized in terms of passivity, laziness, and dependence. By engaging in paid labour, or by otherwise demonstrating her contribution to the greater go

BACKGROUND: Post COVID-19 condition remains a complex and challenging issue, with diverse manifestations, despite accumulating research and clinical experience. Dyspnea is one of the most common symptoms reported in post COVID-19 condition. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) offers a cohesive assessment of dyspnea and exercise limitations. The Nijmegen questionnaire is a form for assessment o

The paper combines a truthmaker semantics with a dispositional view of beliefs according to which they are dispositions of agents to act as if truthmakers obtain. This has a number of virtues in that it gives us (i) an exact semantics for belief reports; as well as plausible accounts of both (ii) epistemic closure and (iii) contradictory beliefs. In particular, it allows us to analyze knowledge in
