The advancement of mobile technologies and their ability to utilize the Global Positioning System (GPS) to accurately locate their substantial number of users, prompt Location-Based Services (LBS) significantly. Ride-sharing is a popular means of transportation that utilizes LBS. With the rapid development of smart cities and their impact on addressing the critical issues of urban life such as tra

During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health

BACKGROUND: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in selected individuals with the rare tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) may benefit from resective epilepsy surgery. Furthermore, associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) are common in patients with TSC; however, long-term data on how surgery affects neuropsychiatric comorbidities are sparse.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two retrospective approaches were used

This article presents readings of three French novels from the nineteenth century, namely Balzac's La Peau de chagrin, Huysmans' À rebours and Octave Mirbeau's Le Jardin des supplices. It examines issues of representation and meaning in relation to debt narratives and the use of bodies as a motif in relation to debt, and it argues that, in these novels, literary language and monetary representatio

Engraved ochres and ostrich eggshells from the South African Blombos Cave and Diepkloof Rock Shelter are among the earliest expressions of human symbolic behavior. Furthermore, they appear to document a continuous practice of abstract mark-making across ~40.000 years. During this time, the engraved patterns change from simpler unstructured patterns to complex, ordered and symmetric cross-hatchings

Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior

Hela människor handlar om mötet med patienten i behandling av psykisk ohälsa. Perioden är sent 1700-tal till 1924, en tid av revolutionerande förändringar både i tolkningen och hanteringen av psykiskt lidande. En rad behandlingstraditioner växte fram, var och en med sina egna teorier om vad sjukligheten kunde bero på och hur den skulle bemötas. Några traditioner lever kvar i dag, som allmänmedicin

By measuring brain activity, through techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), it is possible to decode which sound source a person is listening to, called auditory attention decoding (AAD). This can either be done investigating the relation between speech sources and corresponding brain responses over time, or by discrimi-natively estimating directions to which auditory attention is focuse

Reducing socioeconomic health inequalities is a key goal of most health systems. A challenge in this regard is that healthcare providers may have incentives to avoid or undertreat patients who are relatively costly to treat. Due to the socioeconomic gradient in health, individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES) are especially likely to be negatively affected by such attempts. To counter these

This article evaluates the current gaps around the impact of post-manufacturing processes on the product qualities of protein-based biologics, with a focus on user centricity. It includes the evaluation of the regulatory guidance available, describes a collection of scientific literature and case studies to showcase the impact of post-manufacturing stresses on product and dosing solution quality.

Background: Management of young febrile infants is challenging. Therefore, several guidelines have been developed over the last decades. However, knowledge regarding the impact of introducing guidelines for febrile infants is limited. We assessed the impact of and adherence to a novel guideline for managing febrile infants aged ≤59 days. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conduc

In 2019, archaeologists carried out a large excavation of parts of the Dominican convent in the centre of Lund, in Scania, Sweden, which yielded a substantial medieval ceramic assemblage. This article aims to compare selected sherds from this assemblage with a collection of funerary pots, or censers, retrieved further south in the same town block during excavations in the convent church in 1906.
