The alleged relation between mental disorder and violent criminal behaviour has been investigated mainly from an epidemiological perspective. Population-based registry studies have shown that violence occurs more frequently among people with mental disorders, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, compared with control subjects, but that the increased risk is largely mediated by drug abuse and s
Objective:To evaluate short- and long-term outcomes after modified Stage-I (mStage-I) palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).MethodsThis retrospective single-centre study analyzed 128 patients with HLHS treated between 1993 and 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: Era-I (n=36), from 1993 to 2001, who underwent the classic Norwood procedure, and Era-II (n=92), from 2002 to 20
Study regionThe study encompasses Sweden (450 000 km2) located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in northern Europe.Study focusWe quantified the future crop-water demand and water-irrigation needs of 30,000 km² arable land across Sweden to prepare for climate adaptation. We applied a spatially distributed catchment-scale (40,000 sub-basins) hydrological model with an irrigation routine according to FA
Deliverable D3.3 is the result of T3.3 Develop context-enriched operational guidelines for AI research areas.The aim of T3.3 was “to identify and lift overarching ethical concerns by cross-analysing use cases toimplement the bottom-up co-creation of context-enriched non-technical AI ethics guidelines” per AIresearch area (cf. AIOLIA DoA). The AI research areas covered in this deliverable are Gener
Diel rhythms synchronized to Earth's photic cycle are near-ubiquitous among animals living in regions with distinct day-night cues. Where such cues are reduced or absent, however, activity patterns may weaken, reorganize or become decoupled from the light-dark cycle, which may allow for more flexible behavioural expression. Using a dataset of >900 free-ranging black-legged kittiwakes from colonies
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease caused by the selective loss of upper and lower motor neurons. There is a considerable variability in the disease progression of sporadic ALS, but the molecular basis for phenotypic heterogeneity remains largely unknown. ALS patients often manifest systemic metabolic abnormalities such as glucose intolerance and hyperme
Although the Chinese government claims respect of human rights, it seems that the official Chinese conception of these rights is not only different from but also challenges the dominant international conception - this Chinese challenge of the international human rights regime constitutes the problem area of this thesis. Using a Laclau and Mouffe inspired discourse analysis strategy to deconstruct
Background The fundamental problem with the pavement marking letter design is dealing with the phenomenon of image distortion by perspective. Because there has been a lack of a systematic way to deal with the problem on Korean pavement marking letters, the outputs have been determined by the installer's subjective design judgement. Ultimately, this causes low legibility. The purpose of this study
This invention is directed to a method for the preparation of docetaxel having an amorphous, anhydrous crystalline, or hydrated crystalline structure. In accordance with the invention, highly pure amorphous, anhydrous crystalline, or hydrated crystalline docetaxel can be produced with a high yield by using a solvent precipitation method, colloid formation method, etc.
The paper explores what the methodological considerations are for a study of educational practice and networked learning in technologically dense classrooms. The approach of the discussed study is informed by Actor-Network Theory (ANT) (Latour, 2005) and the paper outlines the methodological consequences for adopting principles associated with ANT and post-humanist critiques of representational ep
Purpose: To explore healthcare professionals' (HPs’) experiences of work-related challenges among people with inflammatory arthritis (IA). Methods: A qualitative, interview study using a hermeneutic approach was planned. HPs with different professional backgrounds working with people with rheumatic diseases were recruited. An interview guide was developed according to relevant literature. The anal
Transitioning towards a circular economy, where the existing building stock is more efficiently used, would significantly reduce material and energy use, emissions, and waste from the built environment sector. This study focuses on exploring what conditions are needed for circularity by imagining preferable circular futures for a 2035 timeframe and understanding the required actions to achieve the
Rapid developments in animal-tracking technology have enabled major advances in the field of movement ecology, which seeks to understand the drivers and consequences of movement across scales, taxa, and ecosystems. The field has made ground-breaking discoveries, yet the majority of studies in movement ecology remain reliant on observational approaches. While important, observational studies are li
The future of our planet relies on scientists' ability to effectively translate knowledge into action, and researchers have an imperative commitment to leverage their understanding. As aquatic early career researchers (ECRs), we draw upon personal experiences to share our learnings about how individuals can drive change. We showcase diverse approaches for ECRs to create meaningful impacts by conne
