Plasticity theory represents a fundamental continuum approach to the study of great variety of phenomena in the mechanics of inelastic solids. Basic to the theory is the appearance of permanent deformation and its association with the phenomenological concept of plastic deformation. The origin of plastic deformation in a solid may be looked upon as the result of a complex interference of its micro

BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHRs) are generated at an ever-increasing rate. EHR trajectories, the temporal aspect of health records, facilitate predicting patients' future health-related risks. It enables healthcare systems to increase the quality of care through early identification and primary prevention. Deep learning techniques have shown great capacity for analyzing complex data an

The attention to rare earth oxide nanoparticles (NPs), including yttrium oxide (Y2O3), has increased in many fields due to their unique structural characteristics and functional properties. The aim of our study was to investigate the mechanisms by which bio-corona formation on Y2O3 NPs affects their environmental fate and toxicity. The Y2O3 NPs induced toxicity to freshwater filter feeder Daphnia

Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are prevalent in the early clinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) according to proxy-based instruments. Little is known about which NPS clinicians report and whether their judgment aligns with proxy-based instruments. We used natural language processing (NLP) to classify NPS in electronic health records (EHRs) to estimate the reporting of NPS in sym

Emotional speech perception is a multisensory process. When speaking with an individual we concurrently integrate the information from their voice and face to decode e.g., their feelings, moods, and emotions. However, the physiological reactions—such as the reflexive dilation of the pupil—associated to these processes remain mostly unknown. That is the aim of the current article, to investigate wh

In the last decades, numerous post-mortem case series have documented chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former contact-sport athletes, though reports of CTE pathology in former soccer players are scarce. This study presents a clinicopathological case of a former professional soccer player with young-onset dementia. The patient experienced early onset progressive cognitive decline and devel

Background: The neotropical anopheline mosquito Anopheles darlingi is a major malaria vector in the Americas. Studies on mosquito-associated microbiota have shown that symbiotic bacteria play a major role in host biology. Mosquitoes acquire and transmit microorganisms over their life cycle. Specifically, the microbiota of immature forms is largely acquired from their aquatic environment. Therefore

Background: Long-term consequences of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury such as persistent posterior tibial translation and risk of osteoarthritis development are unclear. Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.

This study examines whether the IS 2010 Curriculum Guidelines and IS2020 Competency Model match employer expectations in Sweden. This is done by content analysis of 12 358 IS job advertisements, focusing on occupations, dispositions, technical skills, architecture, and the importance of programming. We find that: 1. The occupation group of ICT System Administration is much more important than in t

Reliably identifying short-lived chemical reaction intermediates is crucial to elucidate reaction mechanisms but becomes particularly challenging when multiple transient species occur simultaneously. Here, we report a femtosecond x-ray emission spectroscopy and scattering study of the aqueous ferricyanide photochemistry, utilizing the combined Fe Kβ main and valence-to-core emission lines. Followi

Background and aim: Neuropathic pain arises as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system. Pharmacological treatments for neuropathic pain often fail despite following guidelines. Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs (IPRP) are an effective intervention for chronic pain conditions. Little research has investigated whether IPRP can benefit patients with

This paper examines the emerging concept of hybrid intelligence, the collaboration between humans and AI, and its growing importance in sensemaking processes across diverse organizational contexts. While hybrid intelligence offers significant potential for progress, the integration of responsibility into this collaborative framework remains a crucial challenge. Current research often explores huma

Mental health assessments increasingly rely on remote formats that produce rich but complex multimodal data in the form of text, audio, and video, processed through multiple machine learning models. While these environments offer new opportunities for insight, they also pose significant challenges for effective clinical sensemaking. This study introduces a dashboard designed to address these chall

The goal of the VAST challenge 2019 Mini Challenge 2 was to visualize radioactive contaminations measured by mobile and static sensors and their changes over time, allowing city officials to determine the severity of the leakage at the city's nuclear power plant. We propose cpmViz, a web-based tool that allows for interactive data exploration of the sensor readings in both of the spatial and tempo

As 6G networks evolve, offloading extended reality (XR) applications emerges as a key use case, leveraging reduced latency and edge processing to migrate computationally intensive tasks, such as rendering, from user devices to the network. This enables lower battery consumption and smaller device form factors in cellular environments.However, offloading incurs delays from network transmission and

Background: The biodistribution of PSMA-ligands is of interest in radionuclide therapy planning. We investigated the variability of [18F]PSMA-1007 uptake in organs at risk and in relation to tumour burden in prostate cancer patients. Methods: A total of 1086 patients who underwent PSMA PET-CT for staging or recurrence of prostate cancer were included. Total lesion volume (TLV) and total lesion upt
