Key points• Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a disabling mental disorder with a lifetime prevalence of around 2% with similar rates across age groups and countries.• Diagnosis is made based on a pattern of time-consuming, clinically distressing, or impairing obsessions and compulsions and most cases emerge during puberty or early adulthood.• Obsessions are recurrent, persistent, and intrus

Cancer mortality is exacerbated by late-stage diagnosis. Liquid biopsies based on genomic biomarkers can noninvasively diagnose cancers. However, validation studies have reported ~10% sensitivity to detect stage I cancer in a screening population and specific types, such as brain or genitourinary tumors, remain undetectable. We investigated urine and plasma free glycosaminoglycan profiles (GAGomes

Recently the first example of a family of pro-p groups, for p a prime, with full normal Hausdorff spectrum was constructed. In this paper we further investigate this family by computing their finitely generated Hausdorff spectrum with respect to each of the five standard filtration series: the p-power series, the iterated p-power series, the lower p-series, the Frattini series and the dimension su

Social resilience is a relatively new concept that has recently attracted researchers in the social sciences. In the 21st century, it is becoming significant in sustainability studies in the context of social well-being and its impact on quality of life. Cultural adherence, informal social networking, local knowledge and belief practices, the social value of relationships and community members, an

Aeolian transport rates decreases during wet conditions as the threshold shear velocity for initiation of transport increases over moist sand. This study investigates the influence of surface moisture on meso-scale aeolian transport simulations. Yearly transport rates towards the dunes are simulated with ten different threshold-based models to account for moisture effects. The ten models show larg

The Journal of Comparative Physiology A is the premier peer-reviewed scientific journal in comparative physiology, in particular sensory physiology, neurophysiology, and neuroethology. Founded in 1924 by Karl von Frisch and Alfred Kühn, it celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024. During these 100 years, many of the landmark achievements in these disciplines were published in this journal. To comm

Covid-19 has become pandemic, spreading all over the world. Scientists and engineers are working day and night to develop a vaccine, to evolve more testing facilities, and to enhance monitoring systems. Mobile and web-based applications, based on questionnaires, have already been developed to monitor the health of individuals. Internet of Things (IoT) can be used to avoid the spreading of Covid-19

The total area of Uttarakhand is about 53,483 km2, where 86% area is mountainous and 65% is covered by forest. The two main rivers Ganga and Yamuna originate from Uttarakhand. In addition to these two rivers, Uttarakhand has a large river and canal network that provides hydropower with immense reach. In 1907, one of India’s first hydropower stations was commissioned at Galogi (Uttarakhand). At p

Walking and cycling are considered sustainable transport modes, promoted as a means to reduce car traffic. In the scientific literature, they have mostly been investigated separately, but should be considered jointly to enable a modal shift. Both daytime and dark conditions need to be studied, to improve understanding of how environmental features are affected by temporal variation. A conceptual m

Background: The core of postnatal care is that midwives recognise the needs of women and new-born babies and provide the highest possible quality of care and medical safety to optimise the health and well-being of new families. The study aimed to describe midwives' experiences in providing postnatal care for families during the first week after the birth of their baby. Methods: An interview study

Celis and Childs have called for a ‘second generation’ of feminist scholarship on representation that foregrounds intersectional heterogeneity and emphasises responsiveness to representatives beyond parliaments. We build on these important contributions, arguing that second-generation feminist scholarship and democratic design can make the greatest gains by operationalising intersectionality in cl

Wide-spread adoption of solar energy is a key building block in sustainable production and consumption and a circular economy. However, as the market for solar photovoltaics (PV) will grow significantly, so will the demand for raw materials and the potential waste from discarded PV panels. Based on the experience of the European CIRCUSOL innovation action project, we review recent experience in te

Taza in Spanish refers to cups and mugs in English, whereas glass refers to different glass types in Spanish: copa and vaso. It is still unclear whether such categorical distinctions induce early perceptual differences in speakers of different languages. In this study, for the first time, we report symmetrical effects of terminology on preattentive indices of categorical perception across language

Quinoa is a pseudocereal that has gained more attention in the last decades, due to its outstanding nutritional value. Quinoa has a very good protein quality and content, with a complete amino acid profile; it is also rich in minerals and bioactive compounds. However, quinoa, like other cereals and legumes, has phytate which inhibits the absorption of essential minerals. High content of phytate is

A large number of children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) were adopted to Sweden in the last decade, mainly from China. Most of the children arrived with unoperated palates and at later ages than earlier years. This article aims to present an overview of ethical challenges within the practice of international adoption of children with CLP from the perspective of plastic surgery in a welfare healt

The large-scale mass mobilizations and colossal demonstrations of the last decade have shown that digital and social media platforms, globally, now play significant roles in early formation and further facilitation of activist movements, interested in progressive causes and societal changes. However, the repercussions of the very same events have also clearly shown the shortcomings of mediatized a

Inclusive urban design relies on the participation of disabled persons. This study examines how the involvement of this group is perceived and managed in three revitalization initiatives applying current legal and moral requirements, e.g. ‘universal design’. Qualitative content analysis was conducted on go-along interviews and participant observation in projects related to public places and buildi

The resonant structure of the radiative decay Λb0→pK−γ in the region of proton-kaon invariant-mass up to 2.5 GeV/c2 is studied using proton-proton collision data recorded at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. Results are given in terms of fit and interference fractions between the different compone
