During development, the hypothalamus emerges from the ventral diencephalon and is regionalized into several distinct functional domains. Each domain is characterized by a different combination of transcription factors, including Nkx2.1, Nkx2.2, Pax6, and Rx, which are expressed in the presumptive hypothalamus and its surrounding regions, and play critical roles in defining each area. Here, we reca
Understanding the molecular mechanisms leading to retinal development is of great interest for both basic scientific and clinical applications. Several signaling molecules and transcription factors involved in retinal development have been isolated and analyzed; however, determining the direct impact of the loss of a specific molecule is problematic, due to difficulties in identifying the correspo
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and macular dystrophy (MD) are characterized by gradual photoreceptor death in the retina and are often associated with genetic mutations, including those in the prominin-1 (Prom1) gene. Prom1-knockout (KO) mice recapitulate key features of these diseases including light-dependent retinal degeneration and constriction of retinal blood vessels. The mechanisms underlying su
PurposeStreptococcus agalactiae causes severe infections. Time to blood culture positivity (TTP) has been suggested as a marker of disease severity. This study investigated the clinical characteristics of S. agalactiae bacteraemia and the association between TTP and outcomes.MethodsThis retrospective population-based study included adult episodes of S. agalactiae bacteraemia in southern Sweden, fr
This study utilizes a novel analytical framework to examine large-scale development-focused scholarship programs for international higher education. The Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) is systematically analyzed here utilizing its 2013–2022 annual reports. Applying the orders of worth approach, LPDP’s claims and justifications towards the common good are studied, alongside the organi
This article examines the Mexican government’s recently curtailed CONACYT international scholarships and its sponsored masters’ students who studied in Sweden between 2013 and 2020. It contrasts CONACYT’s human capital theory-based justifications with the experiences of ten sponsored alumni and indicators covering eighty-five such alumni from major Swedish universities. Employing a framework from
The paper examines preconceptions and assumptions behind common understandings of ‘scholarship awards’ in international higher education research, and analyses how these influence the production of knowledge on scholarship programs and their effects. The paper aims to make a major theoretical contribution by proposing an alternative approach to studying these programs. First, drawing on a comprehe
Theoretical research suggests potential cross-currency predictability in currency exchange markets, but empirical findings with macro-based models show mixed results. This has led to a growing focus on micro-based models which explore how trading integrates fundamental information into exchange rates. This study stands out by using detailed limit order book data for the foreign exchange market, en
This paper explores the composition of the extended family, the gens, in the Etruscan minor town of Blera, and surrounding territory, the Biedano region (Province of Viterbo). The aim is to study the inscriptions of the area in order to survey the leading families. Two major events can be noted: firstly, two alterations in the composition of the leading families, one in the first half of the Subar

We aimed to determine if thyroid autoimmunity is associated with a child's risk for subsequent development of islet or celiac autoantibodies. Children at high genetic risk of type 1 diabetes were followed for thyroid autoimmunity (thyroid peroxidase antibodies [TPOAb] and thyroglobulin antibodies [TGAb]), islet autoimmunity (IA), and celiac disease autoimmunity [CDA] in The Environmental Determina
The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze cash-for-care regulatory policies for the elderly long-term care in three countries, Germany, Sweden, and the UK, and to seek policy implications in preparation for regulatory policies that are suitable for the direction of South Korea’s welfare state and the socio-cultural environment. For this purpose, each country’s cash-for-care regulatory po
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of care workers employment characteristics and perception of facility directors’ transformational leadership on quality of service through a hierarchical linear model. For this aim, survey data were collected amongst 240 lder adults and 200 care workers who are affiliated within 45 long-term care facilities in Seoul, and analyzed using SPSS 26.0 a
