LINE-1 retrotransposons drive human neuronal transcriptome complexity and functional diversification

The genetic mechanisms underlying the expansion in size and complexity of the human brain remain poorly understood. Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (L1) retrotransposons are a source of divergent genetic information in hominoid genomes, but their importance in physiological functions and their contribution to human brain evolution are largely unknown. Using multiomics profiling, we here demons

Molecular Recognition Materials Synthesized Based on Small molecules, DNA, and Imprinted Polymers for Bioanalytical Applications

The development of sensitive, convenient, and cost-effective methods for detecting disease biomarkers is very important for meeting the growing demand for early clinical diagnosis. Additionally, the detection of disease biomarkers at ultralow concentrations is very important for disease prevention and treatment and posttreatment rehabilitation. However, current ultrasensitive detection strategies

Creating age-friendly environments in a smart society in China: a policy review

Technology is increasingly being integrated into Age-Friendly Environments (AFEs). This study explores how technology is manifested in AFE policies in China. We conducted a content analysis of 176 policies spanning seven years to identify the relationship between technology and AFEs, and the characteristics of policy development. The findings indicate that technology plays a role in advancing a sm

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in children and adolescents

Children with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are often described by their parents or teachers as "little adults, " in part because of the seemingly adult-like themes that populate their child's worries; for example, the health of family members or family finances and concerns about performance. Younger children may experience more vague worries of "something" bad happening to themselves, famil

Multi-scale wave modelling; Field validation in Faxe Bay, Denmark

Access to local nearshore wave climate conditions on a detailed spatial scale is important for many coastal engineering practices. These include assessing the flood risk of coastal infrastructure, designing coastal protection measures, and estimating sediment transport processes and wave run-up. The present study displays a multi-scale wave modelling approach using the numerical wave model SWAN (B

Actors, knowledge and soft skills for implementing the reuse of building materials

Globally, there is a widespread consensus that the transition to circular economy (CE) within the construction industry represents a crucial pathway to achieve the decarbonization of the industry by 2050 while fostering economic growth. At the European level, policies and legislations are progressively promoting the use of circular building products and encouraging higher levels of energy and reso

Computational modelling in systems biology: from rewriting cell fates to detecting tumours

Beräkningsmodelleringar har blivit ett allt mer viktigt verktyg inom biologisk forskning. Genom att utföra datorsimuleringar av modeller blir det möjligt att testa hur teorier om biologiska system förhåller sig till experimentell data. Simuleringar kan även användes som ersättning för potentiellt ogenomförbara experiment. En välkonstruerade modells förmåga att göra förutsägelser kan hjälpa till atComputational modelling is becoming an increasingly important tool in biological research. By performing computer simulations of models, it becomes possible to test theories about a biological system against experimental data. Simulations can also be used as a replacement for experiments otherwise unattainable. Well-constructed models have great predictive power which helps improve experimental pr

Access to psychological treatment for chronic cancer-related Pain in Sweden

ObjectivesCancer related pain (CRP) is among the most frequent collateral effects of cancer, with chronic CRP, lasting at least three months, affecting >40% of cancer survivors.Evidence based treatments, including pain-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) are available, but it appears that cancer patients/survivors are often poorlyinformed about CRP or the potential benefits of CBT for such p

Sikh News in India, 1864–1924: Colonial Reports on Vernacular Newspapers of Punjab : Volume One: Royalties, Reformers, and Organizations

After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the colonial administration in British India introduced stricter control over Indian publishers and the press printed in various indigenous languages. Newspapers in the Punjab were monitored and scrutinized from 1864 to understand “native opinions” and identify seditious tendencies. The surveillance resulted in extensive weekly press reports that were considered

Occurrence of impaired fasting glucose in GH‐deficient adults receiving GH replacement compared with untreated subjects

Objective: The effects of GH replacement on glucose metabolism in GH-deficient (GHD) adults in clinical practice are not well defined. Therefore, we assessed GH treatment effects on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and haemoglobin A1c (A1c) concentrations in GHD adults in a clinical setting.Design: Post-hoc analysis of the observational Hypopituitary Control and Complications Study conducted at 157 US

Visualizing the Mechanism Switching in High-Temperature Au-Catalyzed InAs Nanowire Growth

We use environmental transmission electron microscopy to observe in situ the switch from an axial vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism in Au-catalyzed InAs nanowires toward a radial vapor-solid (VS) one, dominated by layers nucleating at the triple-phase line. At elevated temperatures, in addition to high V/III ratios, the affinity for In in the Au catalyst will be greater than that of In in
