Methods: We analysed data from 54,296 individuals aged 60–74 years from the German National Cohort (NAKO). We assessed the frequency of PIM, untreated conditions (medication and vaccination under

Steeds vaker kiezen landen ervoor om rechtspersoonlijkheid te verlenen aan onderdelen van de natuur. Deze korte bijdrage bespreekt die ontwikkeling tegen de achtergrond van het Antropoceen, het tijdperk waarin menselijke invloeden op de aarde voor mens en natuur bepalender en bedreigender zijn dan de grote natuurkrachten. In zoverre het verlenen van rechten aan de natuur bijdraagt aan het opheffen

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that total metabolic tumor volume (tMTV) measured before treatment in lymphoma patients undergoing [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans can predict prognosis. However, there is a lack of fast, reliable, and easy-to-perform multilesional segmentation tools with an urgent need to improve tMTV segmentation workflow in clinical practice. Here, we develop

Aims: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has developed quality indicators (QIs) specifically for evaluating the care and outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study was to evaluate TAVI care in all patients undergoing such procedures in Sweden using the ESC 2023 QIs for TAVI. Methods and results: We used the Swedish Transcatheter Car

This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both

Wind energy is an important form of clean energy, and its rational utilization represents a crucial solution for mitigating the energy crisis and global warming. In this study, wind energy potential and its long-term changes in the South China Sea (SCS) are evaluated using ERA5 100 m wind data from 1944 to 2023, validated against ASCAT observations. High wind speeds and high wind power density (WP

Introduction: Adolescents are increasingly exposed to hate speech in both online and offline contexts, yet limited research has examined how such exposure is experienced and how it relates to adolescents' psychological needs and well-being. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study explores how adolescents make sense of hate speech and how these experiences affect autonomy, competence
