Background Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but access to CBT is limited. Internet-based CBT (ICBT) with therapist support is potentially a more accessible treatment. There are no randomized controlled trials testing ICBT for OCD. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of ICBT for OCD in a randomized controlled trial

Insects rely on the detection of chemical cues present in the environment to guide their foraging and reproductive behaviour. As such, insects have evolved a sophisticated chemical processing system in their antennae comprised of several types of olfactory proteins. Of these proteins, odorant degrading enzymes are responsible for metabolising the chemical cues within the antennae, thereby maintain

In this article I call for an awareness of the mobile commons– the informal support that exists among migrating people, NGOs, and activists – in relation to the realization of family reunification. Taking its point of departure in a concrete case of family reunification for young unaccompanied children, the article seeks to expose how the traditional legal notion of the liberal subject fails to pr

Goal: Structural brain graphs are conventionally limited to defining nodes as gray matter regions from an atlas, with edges reflecting the density of axonal projections between pairs of nodes. Here we explicitly model the entire set of voxels within a brain mask as nodes of high-resolution, subject-specific graphs. Methods: We define the strength of local voxel-to

Rationale: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel-aspirin for the large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke subtype has been debated. Aims: To determine whether the 1-year risk of recurrent vascular events could be reduced by a longer duration of DAPT in patients with the LAA stroke subtype. Methods and study design: A total of 4806 participants will be recruited

In this work, we present the fabrication and investigation of the properties of quasi-vertical gallium nitride (GaN) fin field effect transistors (FinFETs) on silicon carbide (SiC) substrates and the influence of a postgate metallization annealing (PMA). The devices reveal low subthreshold swings (SSs) down to around 70 mV/dec. For a 1- $\mu \text{m}$ -thick drift layer, a low ON-resistance below

Photoredox catalysis of organic reactions driven by iron has attracted substantial attention throughout recent years, due to potential environmental and economic benefits. In this Perspective, three major strategies were identified that have been employed to date to achieve reactivities comparable to the successful noble metal photoredox catalysis: (1) Direct replacement of a noble metal center by

The detailed kinetic mechanism of the author was extended by reactions describing formation and consumption of excited species which are formed in NH3+CH4+air flames, complementing the modelling efforts presented in Part 1. Currently the model includes the following excited species: O(1D), OH*, O2*, CH*, CH2(1), NO2*, NO(A), NH*, N2(A), NH2*, C2*, CO2*, CH2O*, and CN*, among which many were observ

Many science students struggle with using scientific language and making sense of scientific phenomena. Thus, there is an increased interest in science education research and public policy with regard to understanding and promoting scientific language use and sensemaking in science classrooms. However, there is a lack of comparative studies on how upper-secondary school students of different achie

Background: 2D digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images are the gold standard for neuroradiological vascular assessment and the basis of interventional procedures such as mechanical thrombectomy and cerebral aneurysm coiling. However, length measurements in projected DSA images are affected by the distance between the x-ray source, the object, and the detector. Precise coordination between all

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate associations between having visited the theatre/cinema and an arts exhibition during the past year and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and other-cause mortality. Methods: The 2008 public health postal survey in Scania, Sweden, was distributed to a stratified random sample of the adult population (18–80 years old). The participation rat

Objective: Drug eluting stents (DES) might improve the results of stenting in the femoropopliteal (FP) segment, but randomized data between DES and BMS in the treatment of patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) is lacking. The aim of this study was to perform a randomized comparison, between DES and bare metal stent (BMS) implantation in a subgroup of CLTI patients with lesions in

The large variations of polyp sizes and shapes and the close resemblances of polyps to their surroundings call for features with long-range information in rich scales and strong discrimination. This article proposes two parallel structured modules for building those features. One is the Transformer Inception module (TI) which applies Transformers with different reception fields in parallel to inpu

Den undersökning och intervjubaserade mixed metods-forskningen som presenteras i denna sammanläggningsavhandling utforskar hur flygtekniker i Sverige, Norge och Portugal upplever att arbeta under den vertikala kedjan av hård och mjuk lagstiftning som utgör Europeiska Unionens reglering av denna sektor. Genom att fokusera på händelserapportering och certifiering av att flygplan kan tas i drift, somThe survey and interview-based mixed methods research presented in this compilation dissertation explores how licensed aircraft maintenance engineers in Sweden, Norway and Portugal experience working under the vertical chain of hard and soft law that makes up the European Union regulation of this sector. By focusing on occurrence reporting and the certification and release of aircraft into service

Understanding various aspects of ferroelectricity in hafnia-based nanomaterials is of vital importance for the development of future nonvolatile memory and logic devices. Here, the unconventional and weak electromechanical response of epitaxial La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 ferroelectric capacitors is investigated, via the sensitivity offered by nanobeam X-ray diffraction experime

The advent and popularity of shared electric scooters in many urban areas worldwide offer new opportunities and challenges to be addressed by the research community, especially as far as safety and accessibility issues are concerned. This paper proposes a methodology, based on geofencing technology (i.e., virtual geographic boundaries) to define in which urban areas the speed of shared electric sc

In this work, we use the measurement technique of high-speed Diffuse Back Illumination Extinction Imaging (DBI-EI) to obtain quantitative information in the form of projected liquid volume (PLV) in a highly transient GDI process. For the DBI-EI setup we use a LED-Panel as the light source, which fulfills diffuse back illumination extinction imaging criteria. Measurements were carried out in a cons

An accurate blood test for Alzheimer's disease that is sensitive to preclinical proteinopathy and cognitive decline has clear implications for early detection and secondary prevention. We assessed the performance of plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217) against brain PET markers of amyloid [[11C]-labelled Pittsburgh compound B (PiB)] and tau ([18F]MK-6240) and its utility for predicting longitud
