Background/Objectives: Fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) is a standard practice for managing early stage cervical cancer, yet significant variation exists in clinical approaches worldwide. Our objective was to ascertain current practices and preferences for cerclage use among expert centers globally regarding FSS in patients with early stage cervical cancer. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional s
Micro-scale mechanisms, such as inter-particle and particle-fluid interactions, govern the behaviour of granular systems. While particle-scale simulations provide detailed insights into these interactions, their computational cost is often prohibitive. At a recent Lorentz Center Workshop on “Machine Learning for Discrete Granular Media”, researchers explored how machine learning approaches can aid
This paper examines the track record of private financial mechanisms aimed at funding conservation of biological diversity. It finds that, due to lack of rigorous and consistent benchmarks and monitoring, these investments may not necessarily safeguard biodiversity and could even, in some cases, have adverse impacts. Further, despite decades of attempts to draw private capital to biodiversity prot
The side-feeding patterns and the spectra of unresolved γ-lines are calculated for Gd, Dy and Er nuclei with neutron numbers from 82 to 86. Energies and configurations for states from the yrast line and approximately 2 MeV higher in energy are calculated as many-quasiparticle configurations in a deformed oblate potential. The γ-cascade is simulated by a Monte Carlo calculation. With a common avera
Fructose–oleic acid esters, biodegradable, biocompatible and biobased surfactants and value-added products were synthesized under solvent-free conditions at 65 °C in stirred-batch mode and using several different bioreactor systems. For a stirred-tank bioreactor (STBR) using fed-batch fructose addition and 5.0 wt.% immobilized Rhizomucor miehei lipase (Lipozyme® IM, Novozymes, Franklinton, NC), th
Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are increasingly used worldwide to meet the growing demand for agricultural pollination services and honey production. The spillover of managed honey bees into natural habitats can strongly transform wild plant-pollinator communities, resulting in mixed consequences for plant reproduction. To effectively predict and cope with the impacts of managed honey bees
This paper introduces a plug-and-play algorithm for enhancing compressive spectral imaging (CSI) through the integration of both a quadratic envelope (QE) regularizer and a deep prior. Our method employs the QE-based regularizer to foster a low-rank structure in conjunction with deep priors, synergistically integrated within a Plug-and-Play (PnP) framework. The distinct advantage of our chosen QE-
The field of biomedicine is constantly investing significant research efforts in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that govern the function of body compartments and to develop creative solutions for the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. The main overall goal is to develop relatively simple systems that are able to mimic naturally occurring constructs and can t
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can manipulate the electromagnetic (EM) waves in wireless channels and thus is promising for the sixth generation wireless communication systems. However, there exists little research on RIS channel measurements, which are important for the communication system design. In this paper, channel measurements are carried out in anechoic chamber, outdoor, and ind
The increasing global demand for food will be met chiefly by increased intensification of production. For crops, this will be achieved largely by increased yields per area with a smaller contribution from an increased number of crops grown in a seasonal cycle. Production systems show a spectrum of intensification practices characterised by varying methods of site preparation and pest control, and
LONG-TERM depletion of ozone has been observed since the early 1980s in the Antarctic polar vortex, and more recently at mid-latitudes in both hemispheres, with most of the ozone loss occurring in the lower stratosphere1. Insufficient measurements of ozone exist, however, to determine decadal trends in ozone concentration in the Arctic winter. Several studies of ozone concentrations in the Arctic
Endast i yttersta undantagsfall bör patienter i underhållsbehandling för opiatberoende kunna uteslutas. Det anser artikelförfattarna, som uppmanar Socialstyrelsen att ändra dagens regler.
Eye movements originally made during memory formation are often spontaneously reproduced during retrieval, even in the absence of visual input, directing gaze back to the locations where goal-relevant episodic information was previously encountered. This behavior, known as gaze reinstatement, is thought to support the reactivation of episodic content associated with those locations (e.g., Johansso
Vehicle models are often bound by non-disclosure agreements with manufacturers.This thesis presents a vehicle model based on vehicle data gathered for the NationalAdvanced Driving Simulator in Ohio and therefore it is not bound by such limitationsand can be used in future research projects.The development and validation of the vehicle model requires understanding of thesubsystems studied, componen

Exploring Narratives of Death (END) ASG 2019-2020 Att genom narrativ ge mening åt döden, dödsfall och sorg: En undersökning av texter, ritualer och artefakter. Religiösa berättelser och kulturella traditioner är idag alltmer frånvarande i västerländska samhällen, och läkarvetenskapen har tagit över både det medicinska och sociala ansvaret för döden, dödsfall och sorg. I takt med att läkarvetenskap

Vad är TEDDY? TEDDY är en internationell studie som syftar till att ta reda på vilka faktorer i barnets omgivning som triggar immun- systemet att attackera bukspottskörtelns betaceller och utveckling till autoimmun (typ 1) diabetes.
