Importance: The ability to predict sudden cardiac death (SCD) in children and adolescents with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is currently inadequate. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is associated with SCD events in adults with HCM. Objective: To examine the prognostic significance of LGE in patients with HCM who are younger than 21 years. De

Plant responses to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, together with projected variations in temperature and precipitation will determine future agricultural production. Estimates of the impacts of climate change on agriculture provide essential information to design effective adaptation strategies, and develop sustainable food systems. Here, we review the current experimental

AlxCoCrFeNi (x=0,0.3,0.6,1 mole) high entropy alloys with multiprincipal elements and varying Al content were synthesized through mechanical alloying. Elemental blends of CoCrFeNi, Al0.3CoCrFeNi, Al0.6CoCrFeNi and AlCoCrFeNi powders were subjected to high energy ball milling in Fritsch Pulverisette P-5 until the formation of solid solution. The as-milled HEA powders having grain sizes of around 10

One of the most anticipated properties of high entropy alloys (HEA) is excellent oxidation resistance. AlxCoCrFeNi (x=0,0.3,0.6,1 mole) HEAs were synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) followed by consolidation through spark plasma sintering (SPS). Alloys with x = 0 and 0.3 show single phase FCC structure, whereas those with x = 0.6 and 1 have dual phases – FCC and BCC. Interestingly, synthesis t

DevOps has significantly improved the software development life-cycle by enabling fast, automated, and continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). However, its application to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) presents unique challenges that require rethinking of traditional practices. DevOps in CPS becomes even more challenging when we consider sustainability, which is becoming increasingly importan

A text by Gertrud Sandqvist as a response to the work Morning Haze by Oscar Eriksson, exhibited at Galleri Arnstedt in Båstad

Klimakteriet eller kvinnors övergångsålder, är ett ämne som fått stor uppmärksamhet i svensk media under de senaste fem åren och för närvarande hävdas att 1,3 miljoner svenska kvinnor berörs av klimakteriet. Klimakteriet beskrivs i media som ett fenomen, som inte bara påverkar kroppen, men även känslolivet. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att undersöka vilka diskurser om som förekommer om klimakter

In this chapter, we describe the work involved in developing a pedagogical framework at Lund University (LU). The work was carried out as a project. In our roles as educational developer and project manager for educational activities, we accepted an assignment to create a new framework that values pedagogical expertise.We collaborated with appointment committees, pedagogical units, representatives

This paper reports the observation of top-quark pair production in proton-lead collisions in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed using 165 nb−1 of p+Pb data collected at sNN = 8.16 TeV in 2016. Events are categorised in two analysis channels, consisting of either events with exactly one lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets, or events with two

Measurements of jet cross-section ratios between inclusive bins of jet multiplicity are performed in Formula Presented of proton-proton collisions with Formula Presented center-of-mass energy, recorded with the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These ratios are constructed from double-differential cross-section measurements that are made in bins of jet multiplicity and other observab

Background: Systemic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLGCI), commonly assessed by biomarkers such as total leukocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP), is associated with cardiometabolic disease, and both are associated with diet and abdominal adiposity. The Paleolithic diet may reduce SLGCI by reducing abdominal adiposity and through direct effects on the i

The recently adopted Norwegian Transparency Act obliges companies under the scope of the law to safeguard human rights and decent working conditions in their respective supply chain and publish annually reports about their efforts. This legislation aligns with the current trend of Western governments to regulate Western companies’ business conduct in the global supply chain by transitioning from v

While international research is increasingly concerned about the role of socio-economic status in special education, Greek scholars have focused on the psychological and behavioural aspects and their connection to academic attainment, overlooking the impact of socio-economic status. Even though the Greek legal framework advocates for inclusive education, there is a significant gap between policies

This study examines the paradoxical public support for President Rodrigo Duterte's War on Drugs (WOD) in the Philippines (2016-2022) despite widespread evidence of human rights violations and extrajudicial killings (EJKs). Through a socio-legal lens and employing Stanley Cohen's "States of Denial" framework, this research analyzes how Duterte's public rhetoric justified, norm

Patient choice of treatment provider was introduced within opioid substitution treatment in the southern Swedish county of Skåne in 2014. Substitution treatment has often been criticised for being strict, rule-based, and driven by an ethos of discipline. This study explores the patients’ views and experiences of patient choice, particularly as a potential means of empowerment. The study is based o
