While immunity and psychological distress are strongly associated, studies seldom consider how different types of distress relate to immune functioning. The literature tends to emphasis the impact of stress on immunity. The present cross-sectional study estimated the unique contributions of depression, anxiety, and stress on immune function in culturally diverse samples of adults from Italy, New Z

BackgroundMisophonia is a complex condition characterized by extreme emotional distress in response to specific sounds or specific visual stimuli. Despite a growing body of clinical and neuroscientific literature, the etiology of this condition remains unclear. Hyperarousal, that is, a state of heightened alertness and disinhibition, as a core feature of misophonia is supported by behavioral and n

BackgroundCognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are recommended treatments for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but their relative efficacy and acceptability have not been comprehensively examined. Further, it remains unclear whether the efficacy of in-person CBT is conserved when delivered in other formats, such as over telephone/webcam or as In

Standards are put forward as important means to turn the ideals of ethical and responsible artificial intelligence into practice. One principle targeted for standardization is transparency. This article attends to the tension between standardization and transparency, by combining a theoretical exploration of these concepts with an empirical analysis of standardizations of artificial intelligence t

Perianal Paget’s disease (PPD) is a rare intraepidermal neoplastic disease, presenting with nonspecific symptoms, such as pruritis ani or eczema. Perianal Paget’s disease may present as a primary lesion or as a paramalignant phenomenon. Uniform evidence-based treatment strategies have not been defined for this rare condition, and currently, different treatment methods are suggested. This case repo

This work presents a systematic study of the properties (Light Output Non-Uniformity (LONU) and energy resolution) of two CsI(Tl) scintillation units over a span of almost three years, under adverse conditions of humidity and temperature. These two crystals are part of the CALIFA detector, a highly segmented calorimeter and spectrometer for γ rays and light-charged particles, that is placed surrou

Det handlar både om Den Stora Fredsresan och om Elisabeth Gerles liv. Fredsresan pågick från maj 1985 till det avslutande Folkens toppmöte ii FN i New York 1988 och uppvaktade över hundra regeringar.

Om människan ses som kund istället för som medborgare undergrävs demokratin. Detta försvårar nödvändiga insatser mot klimathotet.

The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industries in the world. The current pulp mills focus on the production of pulp fiber and electricity. By converting traditional pulp mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries, they can become a cornerstone of a future circular bioeconomy. To achieve this, pulp mills need to close their cycles and focus on making the most of the lignocellulos

The concept of direct membrane filtration (DMF) is relatively new for treating municipal wastewater. In contrast to a conventional membrane bioreactor, DMF decouples filtration and biological treatment. This presentation is based on a pilot scale DMF study conducted at the municipal wastewater treatment plant in Svedala (Sweden), combined with lab-scale experiments and analysis to optimise the pil

Under slaget om Guadalcanal 1942 sänktes USS Juneau. Ombord tjänstgjorde fem bröder i familjen Sullivan. Alla omkom vilket uppmärksammades på bred front i samtiden och deras öden utgjorde senare inspiration för filmen Rädda meinge Ryan.
