The rapid growth of urban areas and concerns over climate change make it vital to improve the energy sustainability of cities. Understanding the complex interactions within different sectors (sectoral) and localities (spatial) of cities plays a crucial role in improving efficiency and sustainability, which is extremely challenging due to the complex urban morphology. State-of-the-art energy concep

Visual attention span (VAS) refers to the number of visual elements processed simultaneously in a multielement array. It is causally related to reading skills and may be impaired in readers with dyslexia. VAS is influenced by orthographic depth with opaque orthographies boosting it. Such orthography-specific VAS modulations are subject to crosslinguistic interactions in early biliterates, leading

AimsOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is an important differential diagnosis in unexplained syncope. Neurogenic OH (nOH) has been postulated to differ from non-neurogenic OH (non-nOH), yet pathophysiological differences are largely unexplored. We aimed to investigate aetiology and tilt table test (TTT)-induced haemodynamic responses in symptomatic OH patients.Methods and resultsWe performed a retrospec

This article seeks to propose a politics of landscape as a way to recognise emergent practices, methods and dramaturgies embedded in landscapes we inhabit. Being in and On Land/scapes means recognizing ways of making that challenge the means of domination, and to institute modes of doing and thinking that recognize dependencies. This article seeks to explore: What are the political implications an

Predicting long-term recurrence of disease in breast cancer (BC) patients remains a significant challenge for patients with early stage disease who are at low to intermediate risk of relapse as determined using current clinical tools. Prognostic assays which utilize bulk transcriptomics ignore the spatial context of the cellular material and are, therefore, of limited value in the development of m

Background: Escherichia coli, the most common bacterium causing urinary tract infections (UTIs), is increasinglyreported as resistant to multiple antibiotics. Swedish surveillance data from hospital and primary health care(PHC) report a 17%–19% prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin in E. coli from urine cultures in men over20 years of age. Surveillance data may include nosocomial infections.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a cost-effective, home-based kidney replacement therapy that enhances patient autonomy. Nevertheless, the clinical use of PD is limited by chronic fluid overload and excessive glucose absorption, which can lead to complications, such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disturbances, and deterioration of the peritoneal membrane.The aims of this thesis were to examine gl
