Symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorder are related to atypical sensory processing, particularly sensory over-responsivity, in both children and adults. In adults, obsessive–compulsive symptoms are also associated with the attenuation of access to the internal state and compensatory reliance on proxies for these states, including fixed rules and rituals. We aimed to examine the associations betw
Purpose in life, which is a central component of the eudaimonic paradigm of well-being, has been sparsely examined in adolescence. This is unfortunate as adolescence is characterised by identity development and is a key period for the onset of mental disorders. To inform future research on well-being and purpose in life in adolescents, we drew factors from several fields of research, including men
Aim: To further develop the Person-Centred Care instrument for outpatient care (PCCoc), evaluate its user-friendliness and content validity, and to explore its basic psychometric properties in various outpatient settings for adults with long-term conditions. Background: Person-centred care (PCC) has been identified as a key factor to provide high-quality care. However, there is still a lack of ins
Precision medicine is part of the logical evolution of contemporary evidence-based medicine that seeks to reduce errors and optimize outcomes when making medical decisions and health recommendations. Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, many of whom will develop life-threatening complications and die prematurely. Precision medicine can potentially address this enormous proble
This paper investigates the possibility of using empirical tool life models to predict tool life in a side milling application in a medium carbon steel, C 45E. To do this, an extensive dataset containing 46 data points with different machining parameters are produced. Four different empirical models: Taylor's equation, Colding's equation and Extended Taylor both using depth of cut and feed as well
Background: Patients with severe asthma may present with characteristics representing overlapping phenotypes, making them eligible for more than one class of biologic. Our aim was to describe the profile of adult patients with severe asthma eligible for both anti-IgE and anti-IL5/5R and to compare the effectiveness of both classes of treatment in real life. Methods: This was a prospective cohort s
Audio description (AD) serves as a vital means to make visual media accessible to non-sighted and visually impaired audiences. This study systematically investigates the impact of narrative specificity and voice quality on imageability and comprehension in both sighted and non-sighted populations. Twenty non-sighted participants, including congenitally blind individuals and those who lost their siAudio description (AD) serves as a vital means to make visual media accessible to non-sighted and visually impaired audiences.

European regions are currently confronted with significant challenges stemming from the green transition and technological disruption. These challenges impose growing pressure on regions to restructure their economies and transition towards more sustainable and innovative modes of production. While the existing literature extensively addresses regional transformation, less attention has been devot
The physiological mechanism for producing antigen-specific antibodies is based on a two-phase neo-Darwinian process: the first phase consists of diversity generation (formation of the repertoire), and the second phase is antigen-mediated selection. In this article, we consider how the natural immunoglobulin gene-diversification processes can be exploited both in vivo and in vitro in order to allow
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is a multidimensional concept which captures the individual’s perception of treatment burden. Evaluating HRQL during treatment for childhood cancer provides insight into the burden of the treatment from the child’s and/or parent’s perspective.In this review, we aimed to describe Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used to measure HRQL during treatment, d
BACKGROUND. Severe, early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) causes significant fetal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Predicting the outcome of affected pregnancies at the time of diagnosis is difficult, thus preventing accurate patient counseling. We investigated the use of maternal serum protein and ultrasound measurements at diagnosis to predict fetal or neonatal death and 3 secondary o
The discussion on the Anthropocene has increased the urgency to promote a sustainable society, considering the planetary boundaries, population growth and resource scarcity. Thus, the United Nations created the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to address this challenge, including 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 SDG targets. In this context, the energy sector is one of the ma
The transition to agile manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and high-mix-low-volume tasks require robot programming solutions that are flexible. However, most deployed robot solutions are still statically programmed and use stiff position control, which limit their usefulness. In this paper, we show how a single robot skill that utilizes knowledge representation, task planning, and automatic selection of
In this essay I argue that with too few alternative approaches, the strong feminist epistemological habit of attending to the political utility of art risks placing representations of subjective narratives whose emancipatory qualities might be unclear or doubtful out of scholarly reach. Feminist art historian Irit Rogoff discusses how feminist art historians are inclined to acknowledge visual repr
Recent studies have explored the influence of obesity and critical illness on ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetics. However, variation across the subpopulation of individuals with obesity admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with varying renal function remains unexamined. This study aims to characterize ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetics in ICU patients with obesity and provide dose recommendations for
This article analyses the claims of contemporary disabilityrights activists mobilising in a context where de facto second-class citizenship co-exists with legal and political declarationsabout the rights of disabled people. As an empirical case,it focuses on the blog ‘Full Participation.Now’, which wasinitiated by disability rights activists in Sweden. Drawing uponcitizenship research, the article
The European Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRI) community, in its pursuit of enabling seamless and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) access to environmental research data and services, has realised the ENVRI Catalogue of Services. This paper provides an in-depth look into the creation of this tool, highlighting the process, the challenges faced, and the scientifi
Crop pests, such as aphids and bark beetles, represent a big challenge for agriculture worldwide. Due to their high adaptability and more suitable conditions because of climate change, they can thrive on a large number of hosts. One of the strategies to control the population of these pests in agricultural areas is the use of pheromones, either to lure them, repel them or to attract predators as a
