OBJECTIVES: Implementation of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe (2018-2030) (SAP-E) was initiated in 2019. It is now updated at mid-term to reflect and respond to challenges for stroke care in Europe in 2025. METHODS: The SAP-E covers the entire chain of stroke care. The sections (state of the art, current status and targets) were developed by working groups and finalised based on inputs from the
Using population-wide data on Swedish university researchers and teachers, we identify the effects of parenthood on academic careers. Leveraging staggered event-study models that compare mothers and fathers around first birth, we document widening gender gaps in publication output, wage income, promotion, and PhD completion. These gaps arise across all scientific fields. We further document substa
We provide a detailed characterization of the planetary system orbiting HD 85426 (TOI-1774). This bright G-type star (: 0.99;: 1.13; age: 7.4 Gyr; V mag: 8.25) hosts a transiting sub-Neptune, HD 85426 b, with an orbital period of 16.71 d and a blackbody equilibrium temperature of K. By jointly analysing HARPS-N RVs, TESS, and CHEOPS photometric data and using two different stellar activity mitigat
Originally published in 1887 by researcher Richard Hodgson and amateur magician Samuel John Davey, The Mal-Observation Report is a classic of psychical research that remains startlingly relevant to modern psychology. This 292-page volume brings together two seminal papers that revealed how performance magic methods can be used to reveal surprising limits and eccentricities of human minds.In "The P
Mental simulation theories of language comprehension propose that people automatically create mental representations of objects mentioned in sentences. Mental representation is often measured with the sentence-picture verification task, wherein participants first read a sentence that implies the object property (i.e., shape and orientation). Participants then respond to an image of an object by in
In 1887, psychical researchers Richard Hodgson and S. J. Davey published a study that revealed counterintuitive aspects of human cognition: How healthy, sober, honest observers of events can be prone to seemingly remarkable errors of eyewitness testimony. Their report, titled ‘The Possibilities of Mal-Observation and Lapse of Memory from a Practical Point of View’ included a collection of eyewitne
Background: The association between lifestyle factors and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the association of alcohol consumption, smoking behavior, sleep quality and physical, cognitive, and social activity with cerebral amyloid pathology. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, we selected participants from
The human blood proteome provides a holistic readout of health states through the assessment of thousands of circulating proteins. In this study, we present a pan-disease resource to enable the study of diverse disease phenotypes within a harmonized proteomics dataset. by profiling protein concentrations across 59 diseases and healthy cohorts, we identified proteins associated with age, sex, and b
The Nuclear Renaissance is a term that describes today’s socio-political attitudes toward nuclear technology. The renewed optimism surrounding nuclear power frames it as a solution to climate change and environmental inequality. However, the popular visual culture that accompanies these attitudes rarely portrays nuclear power in a positive light, but rather as a form of destruction we are expected
In this episode, the story of Clever Hans, the horse who changed psychology for the better. We also sit down with psychologist and magician Matt Tompkins. Matt is the author of The Spectacle of Illusion, a book about the long history of the manipulation of our own magical thinking and how studying deception, and especially self-deception, can help us better understand perception, memory, belief, a
The production of fast pyrolysis bio-oil (FPBO) from secondary biomass is a promising technique for the production of liquid biofuels. However, the resulting FPBO is often viscous and chemically unstable, requiring significant upgrading while also being difficult to work with. To overcome this issue, FPBO can be hydrotreated using slurry hydrotreatment, which has a long history as a processing tec
Dr. Matt Tompkins, experimental psychologist and magician, explores the intersection of magic and cognitive science. From mastering coin tricks as a child to designing "fake mind control machines" at Lund University, Matt reveals how magicians understood principles like change blindness decades before scientists. He discusses his book "The Spectacle of Illusion," founding the Science of Magic Asso
The most common desalination technology for treating brackish irrigation water is reverse osmosis (RO). RO yields product waters low in monovalent ions that are harmful to crops (Na+ and Cl–) and in divalent ions that encourage crop growth (Ca2+, Mg2+, and SO42–). Fertilizer or divalent-rich brackish water must be mixed with the desalinated water to reintroduce these nutrients. Monovalent selectiv
This article contributes to literatures on local governments and just transitions by presenting a human rights–grounded framework for just transition and applying it to local governments. The framework holds that individuals have justified claims to protection of their most essential interests when those interests are threatened by climate policies, and it identifies four core responsibilities for
Background Inversions involving intron 22 (Inv22) of the F8 gene are detected in approximately 45% of all severe hemophilia A (HA) patients. Digital droplet polymerase chain reaction using milepost assays and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) allows robust diagnosis of inversions, copy number variations, and more complex rearrangements in F8 . Objectives A total of 350 HA pat
