BACKGROUND: Knowing whether interventions addressing everyday life as a whole can affect work readiness for people with severe mental health issues would be important for how to develop support. OBJECTIVE: To compare two groups of people with mental health problems, receiving either of two types of 16-week activity-based interventions, Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) or Care as Usual (CAU), regardin

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To provide an overview of recent studies discussing novel strategies, controversies, and challenges in the management of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) in the initial postinjury hours. RECENT FINDINGS: Prehospital management of sTBI should adhere to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) principles. Maintaining oxygen saturation and blood pressure within target ranges on-scen

Background: Brief Admission by self-referral is a preventive intervention here intended for individuals who recurrently self-harm and have a history of contact with emergency psychiatric services. Individuals with access to Brief Admission are empowered to self-admit to inpatient care for up to three days per stay and are encouraged to do so before experiencing crisis. Brief Admission was implemen

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health outcomes of international seafarers, who played a crucial role in maintaining global trade during the pandemic. The study examined how changes in psychosocial work environment and policies affected mental health outcomes among seafarers. Methods: We analyzed a survey including answers from

We present a combination of optical operando techniques that allow us to bridge the pressure gap in heterogeneous catalysis. By combining Polarization Modulated - InfraRed Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) with two dimensional-Surface Optical Reflectance (2D-SOR) and Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF), we can simultaneously measure the adsorbed species on the catalyst surface, mo

Background: We aim to examine the association between ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and to identify plasma proteins associated with UPF. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 26,369 participants from the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, established in 1991–1996. Dietary intake was assessed using a modified diet history method, and UPF c

Background: Effectiveness of biologics has neither been established in patients with high oral corticosteroid exposure (HOCS) nor been compared with effectiveness of continuing with HOCS alone. Objective: To examine the effectiveness of initiating biologics in a large, real-world cohort of adult patients with severe asthma and HOCS. Methods: This was a propensity score–matched, prospective cohort

Context. The population of strongly irradiated Jupiter-sized planets has no equivalent in the Solar System. It is characterised by strongly bloated atmospheres and large atmospheric scale heights. Recent space-based observations of SO2 photochemistry have demonstrated the knowledge that can be gained about Earth's uniqueness from detailed atmospheric studies of these unusual planets. Aims. Here we

Tomographic X-ray imaging techniques offer novel opportunities for studying membranes and membrane processes in 3D on a spatial resolution not seen before. Traditional 2D imaging techniques used to characterise membranes have limitations that can be overcome by tomographic X-ray imaging. Tomographic X-ray imaging can provide information in 2D/3D or 4D (3D plus time) on membranes, membrane modules,

A generic search for resonances is performed with events containing a Z boson with transverse momentum greater than 100 GeV, decaying into e + e − or μ + μ −. The analysed data collected with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider correspond to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1. Two invariant mass distributions are exami

The production of K∗(892)0and φ(1020)resonances has been measured in p-Pb collisions at sNN = 8.16 TeV using the ALICE detector. Resonances are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels in the rapidity interval -0.5 < y < 0 and the transverse momentum spectra are measured for various multiplicity classes up to pT = 20 GeV/c for K∗(892)0and pT = 16 GeV/c for φ(1020). The pT-integrated yields

Two-particle transverse momentum differential correlators, recently measured in Pb-Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), provide an additional tool to gain insights into particle production mechanisms and infer transport properties, such as the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, of the medium created in Pb-Pb collisions. The longitudinal long-range

The electroweak production of Z(νν¯) γ in association with two jets is studied in a regime with a photon of high transverse momentum above 150 GeV using proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis uses a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS detector during the 2015–2018 LHC data-taking period. This

Contemporary markets grapple with pressing challenges to secure socially and economically outcomes. Against this backdrop, market failures, notably those accentuated by sustainability and income inequality issues, have risen to prominence in competition law discourse, both doctrinally and in the realm of policymaking. This dynamic hints at an evolving paradigm: competition law might no longer be i

This presentation departs from two recent collaborative projects. The former An Urban Archive as an English Garden (Franzson, 2019) was instigated by Davíð Brynjar Franzson and revolved around a sonic hologram and performance therein. The second project, Violin with Þytur (Olofsson & Stefánsdóttir, 2021) was a collaboration with Kent Olofsson which resulted in a performance within the nine mon

Empowerment has been a key conceptual underpinning of participatory health research (PHR), both as a set of processes that inform how partners and diverse stakeholders engage with each other, as well as a set of outcomes that contribute to improved health and social equity. The concept of empowerment is present in a number of characteristics of PHR as described in Position Paper No. 1 of the ICPHR

Solutions of macromolecules exhibit viscoelastic properties and unlike Newtonian fluids, they may break time-reversal symmetry at low Reynolds numbers resulting in elastic turbulence. Furthermore, under some conditions, instead of the chaotic turbulence, the result is large-scale waves in the form of cyclic spatial and temporal concentration variations, as has been shown for macromolecular DNA flo

To study how mechanical factors influence the spread of cancer and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), it is crucial that cancer cell populations be sorted without labels in relevant subpopulations with respect to mechanical properties. It is also important to confine subpopulations for long-term observation to track changes, in inherent properties of the subpopulations, and on the influen

Differences in morphologies of bacteria and bacteria clusters are thought to contribute to their virulence and colonization. However, the conventional standard cell biological methods cannot separate bacteria and bacteria clusters based on their morphologies and sizes, making studies of the underlying mechanisms difficult. Here we report a simple label-free method for the continuous separation of
