The study of public transport and tourism, especially domestic tourism, is relatively under-researched, particularly in relation to emerging transport technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), and environmental, social, and governance (ESG). To bridge this gap, an integrated research model is created and tested with ESG, air quality, climate change, and AI, applying multi-analysis method

Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, and its contribution to neuronal damage appears multi-factorial. An open issue is whether pressure effects on blood vessels contribute to neuronal damage. In particular, little is known about pressure effects on capillaries, which are the site of most metabolic exchange in the retina, but cannot be easily visualized in vivo.

BACKGROUND: Overactivity or contractures of the hamstring muscles in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) can lead to either a jump gait (knee flexion associated with ankle plantar flexion) or a crouch gait (knee flexion associated with ankle dorsiflexion). Hamstring lengthening is performed to decrease stance knee flexion. However, this procedure carries the potential risk of weakening hi

Blood pressure variability (BPV) represents a cardiovascular risk factor, regardless of mean level of blood pressure (BP). In this post-hoc analysis from the PERson-centredness in Hypertension management using Information Technology (PERHIT) study, we aimed to explore BPV in daily home measurements in hypertensive patients from primary care, to identify factors associated with high BPV and to inve

Pregnancy might impact immunity after SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination. We describe the first case of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 during a pregnancy. While the mother lacked detectable antibodies 2 months after the first infection, both mother and baby had IgG antibodies at delivery. Infection did not cause any adverse pregnancy outcome.

With the popularization and development of CV technology, the SLAM algorithm is widely used in scenarios such as self-driving cars and autonomous navigation robots. As a key step in the SLAM system, the BA algorithm is responsible for optimizing camera parameters and 3D point coordinates. BA obtains more accurate estimates by shrinking the re-projection error. So as to support the SLAM system

A search for diphoton resonances in the mass range between 10 and 70 GeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presented. The analysis is based on pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb −1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded from 2015 to 2018. Previous searches for diphoton resonances at the LHC have explored masses down to 65 GeV,

Conventional measurements of fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels investigated in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) cannot capture the effects of DNA variability on ‘around the clock’ glucoregulatory processes. Here we show that GWAS meta-analysis of glucose measurements under nonstandardized conditions (random glucose (RG)) in 476,326 individuals of diverse ancestries and without di

Human and non-human animals are capable of using basic geometric information to reorient in an environment. Geometric information includes metric properties associated with spatial surfaces (e.g., short vs. long wall) and left-right directionality or 'sense' (e.g. a long wall to the left of a short wall). However, it remains unclear whether geometric information is encoded by explicitly computing

Weather surveillance radars are increasingly used for monitoring the movements and abundances of animals in the airspace. However, analysis of weather radar data remains a specialised task that can be technically challenging. Major hurdles are the difficulty of accessing and visualising radar data on a software platform familiar to ecologists and biologists, processing the low-level data into prod

The failure of the EU and its Member States to adequately respond to increased refugee movements since 2015, has caused disagreement on how the principle of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility should be given effect in the context of a reformed European policy on migration. In September 2020, theEuropean Commission proposed the new Pact on Migration and Asylum which was meant to promote

The importance of B cells and their critical role in the maintenance of health through generation of antibody-mediated immune protection is undoubted. However, the differences between the responses of B cells with different surface phenotypes in different microanatomical sites as well as diversity in B-cell function outside antibody production are just starting to be acknowledged and resolved. Thi

Control systems are ubiquitous and often at the core of Cyber-Physical Systems, like cars and aeroplanes. They are implemented as embedded software, that interacts in closed loop with the physical world through sensors and actuators. As a consequence, the software cannot just be tested in isolation. To close the loop in a testing environment and root causing failure generated by different parts of

BackgroundAchromobacter xylosoxidans is an emerging pathogen that causes airway infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. Knowledge of virulence factors and protein secretion systems in this bacterium is limited. Twin arginine translocation (Tat) is a protein secretion system that transports folded proteins across the inner cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. Tat has been shown to be impo

Surgical site infections (SSI) are a clinical and economic burden. Suture-associated SSI may develop when bacteria colonize the suture surface and form biofilms that are resistant to antibiotics. Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide (TCP)-25 is a host defense peptide with a unique dual mode of action that can target both bacteria and the excessive inflammation induced by bacterial products. The pep

Bakgrund: Intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (IF) är en utvecklingsneurologisk funktionsnedsättning med brister i kognition och nedsatt adaptiv förmåga. Orsaken kan bero på ärftlighet, kromosomförändring, sjukdom eller skada i hjärnan. Patienter med IF har ofta nedsatt kommunikationsförmåga och är ofta beroende av personer runtomkring som kan tolka behoven. En del av distriktssköterskors ansvar är

A functioning charging infrastructure is crucial for achieving full-scale national electrification within the transport sector. The system is likely to consist of different charging technologies, all with the main objective of providing efficient energy replenishment services. Careful planning for the deployment of this infrastructure is of high importance. The consumer segments are diverse, each
