Wearable Technology for "Real-World Research" : Realistic or Not?
Parsing written language with non-standard grammar : An eye-tracking study of case marking in Arabic
Morphologically marked case is in Arabic a feature exclusive to the variety of Standard Arabic, with no parallel in the spoken varieties, and it is orthographically marked only on some word classes in specific grammatical situations. In this study we test the hypothesis that readers of Arabic do not parse sentences for case and that orthographically marked case can therefore be removed with no eff
Five years of pharmaceutical industry funding of patient organisations in Sweden: cross-sectional study of companies, patient organisations and drugs
BackgroundMany patient organisations collaborate with drug companies, resulting in concerns about commercial agendas influencing patient advocacy. We contribute to an international body of knowledge on patient organisation-industry relations by considering payments reported in the industry’s centralised ‘collaboration database’ in Sweden. We also investigate possible commercial motives behind the

StanceVis Prime : Visual Analysis of Sentiment and Stance in Social Media Texts
Text visualization and visual text analytics methods have been successfully applied for various tasks related to the analysis of individual text documents and large document collections such as summarization of main topics or identification of events in discourse. Visualization of sentiments and emotions detected in textual data has also become an important topic of interest, especially with regar
Standardization of Propagation Models for Terrestrial Cellular Systems: A Historical Perspective
Propagation models constitute a fundamental building block of wireless communications research. Before we build and operate real systems, we must understand the science of radio propagation, and develop channel models that both reflect the important propagation processes and allow a fair comparison of different systems. In the past five decades, wireless systems have gone through five generations,

Effects of modeling strategies for a slab track on predicted ground vibrations
In the paper, the effect of modeling strategies regarding the dynamic behavior of a railway slab track on a layered half-space is studied. The track is modeled with various degrees of accuracy through the use of either beam theory, shell finite elements or solid finite elements. The underlying soil response is included through a dynamic stiffness, obtained via the Green's function for a horizontal
Shrunken pore syndrome - a common kidney disorder with high mortality. Diagnosis, prevalence, pathophysiology and treatment options
Invasive studies show that the glomerular sieving coefficients for 5–30 kDa plasma proteins in the human kidney may be selectively reduced compared to those for small molecules < 0.9 kDa, commonly used to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Identification of this pathophysiological state, called shrunken pore syndrome (SPS), can easily and non-invasively be done by comparing estimations of G
Prospects for improved glomerular filtration rate estimation based on creatinine—results from a transnational multicentre study
Background The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation is routinely used to assess renal function but exhibits varying accuracy depending on patient characteristics and clinical presentation. The overall aim of the present study was to assess if and to what extent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on creatinine can be improved.MethodsIn a cro
Binding of a negative allosteric modulator and competitive antagonist can occur simultaneously at the ionotropic glutamate receptor GluA2
Ionotropic glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels governing neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Three major types of antagonists are known for the AMPA-type receptor GluA2: competitive, non-competitive (i.e. negative allosteric modulators; NAMs) used for treatment of epilepsy, and uncompetitive antagonists. We here report a 4.65 Å resolution X-ray structure of GluA2, reveal

The prion fragment PrP106-127 adopts a secondary structure typical of aggregated fibrils in langmuir monolayers of brain lipid extract
Understanding protein aggregation is essential to unveil molecular mechanisms associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and spongiform encephalopathy, particularly to determine the role of interaction with cell membranes. In this study, we employ Langmuir monolayers as cell membrane models to mimic interaction with the peptide KTNMHKHMAGAAAAGAVVGGLG−OH, a fragmen
Circular Economy in Home Textiles: Motivations of IKEA Consumer in Sweden
(1) If policy-makers and businesses are to encourage consumers to participate in circular consumption systems, knowledge is needed about what motivates consumers to choose different disposal options. This paper aims to shed light on what motivates consumers to engage in circular home textile disposal practices. (2) Quantitative data was collected through a survey of members of the IKEA Family prog
The role of territorially embedded innovation ecosystems accelerating sustainability transformations : A case study of the transformation to organic wine production in Tuscany (Italy)
Over the last few years, there has been a growing concern among academics and practitioners about the slow pace in which sustainability transformations unfold. While most socio-technical transformations tend to happen over extended periods, research shows that unless some dramatic changes are introduced, we are risking damaging the critical earth systems that sustain human life. In this context, u
Explaining the past, predicting the future: the influence of regional trajectories on innovation networks of new industries in emerging economies
Economic geographers have recently made important contributions to understanding of the relationship between regional transformation, industrial specialisation and innovation networks in the emergence of new industries. However, most contemporary research has focused on the influence of networks on regional trajectories, paying lip service to how regional trajectories also influence network config

III-V nanowire MOSFETs with novel self-limiting Λ-ridge spacers for RF applications
We present a semi self-aligned processing scheme for III-V nanowire transistors with novel semiconductor spacers in the shape of Λ-ridges, utilising the effect of slow growth rate on {111}B facets. The addition of spacers relaxes the constraint on the perfect alignment of gate to contact areas to enable low overlap capacitances. The spacers give a field-plate effect that also helps reduce off-stat
