Lars Elleström’s impact on intermedial studies is undoubtedly foundational, multifaceted and systematic. However, his medium-centered model of communication may be said to rephrase some arbitrary communication constants, such as the principle of transfer/transmission of cognitive import between source and target and through the media product. These kind of theoretical attachments imply that severaLars Elleström’s impact on intermedial studies is undoubtedly foundational, multifaceted and systematic.

Luminescence dating is a widely used method in combination with sedimentological analysis for reconstructing the landscape development of the Quaternary period. In this study, quartz and K-feldspar measurements were used to evaluate the luminescence characteristics with the aim of dating the deposits. The sediments were sampled from an abandoned gravel pit in the Biely Váh valley and eight sites i

BackgroundHemolysis is a cardinal feature of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and during hemolysis excess arginase 1 is released from red blood cells. Increased arginase activity leads to reduced L-arginine, as it is converted to urea and L-ornithine, and thereby reduced nitric oxide bioavailability, with secondary vascular injury. The objective of this study was to investigate arginase release in

Cognitive control is a skill used to control one’s own behaviour to reach a goal. We compared this skill across archosaurs by using the distraction task on American alligators, emus, chickens, and common ravens. We investigated whether the animals would still find a food reward hidden behind one of two identical opaque barriers after picking up a food distraction. Results show that all species can

Background: Nutri-score is now widely available in food packages in Europe. Aim: To study the overall nutritional quality of the diet in relation to risks of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. Methods: We collected dietary data at baseline from validated food frequency questionnaires. We used a dietar

10Be is produced by the interaction between galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) with the Earth's atmospheric constituents. The flux of GCRs is modulated by the varying strength of the magnetic fields of the Earth and the Sun. Measurement of 10Be concentrations from polar ice cores is thus a valuable tool to reconstruct the variations in the geomagnetic field and solar

AlphaFold can predict the structures of monomeric and multimeric proteins with high accuracy but has a limit on the number of chains and residues it can fold. Here we show that a combination of AlphaFold and all-atom symmetric docking simulations enables highly accurate prediction of the structure of complex symmetrical assemblies. We present a method to predict the structure of complexes with cub

INTRODUCTION: We sought to determine structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics across subgroups defined based on relative cognitive domain impairments using data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and to compare cognitively defined to imaging-defined subgroups. METHODS: We used data from 584 people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) (461 amyloid positive, 123

In the Scandinavian Caledonides, evidence of syn-collisional magmatism related to extensional basin development immediately prior to late Silurian Baltica-Laurentia collision was considered restricted to exotic terranes until late Silurian ages were obtained from the Halti Igneous Complex (HIC), hosted by a thrust sheet (Corrovarre Nappe, CN) of continental affinity. Various orogenic models for th

BACKGROUND: The significant role of long non-coding 7S RNA in controlling mitochondrial transcription highlights its importance in mitochondrial function. Considering the suggested connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and the onset of mental disorders, this study aimed to explore the potential involvement of 7S RNA in the context of depression/anxiety.RESULTS: A total of 181 patients in pr

This short paper explores building innovation platforms in the public sector, particularly in public healthcare, through an ecological lens. While existing research has mainly focused on the platform owner's role in orchestrating innovation, this study investigates the strategies used by public organizations and widens the net to analyse how a digital health platform’s complementing actors contrib

Covid-19 has caused great challenges to the energy sector, particularly in residential buildings with low-income households. This study investigates the impact of the confinement measures due to the Covid-19 outbreak on the energy demand of seven residential archetype buildings in Greater London. Three levels of confinement for occupant schedules are proposed and compared with the base case before

The ECG diagnosis of LVH is predominantly based on the QRS voltage criteria. The classical paradigm postulates that the increased left ventricular mass generates a stronger electrical field, increasing the leftward and posterior QRS forces, reflected in the augmented QRS amplitude. However, the low sensitivity of voltage criteria has been repeatedly documented. We discuss possible reasons for this
