Common proposals for classifying metonyms build on the contiguity of the meaningof a metonym compared to its original meaning. In contrast, this article offers amodel of metonymisation that focuses on the cognitive underpinnings and seesmetonymisation as an attentional process. By using event structure as a framework,we present a cognitive model of events that consists of four elements: actor, pat
Failure in change detection in the surrounding environment while driving is attributed among other things to the number of incidents and the density of them occurring along the task as this is directly related to an increase in cognitive load. Here, we investigate the role of time proximity between events on the detection performance during a naturalistic driving task in a virtual simulation. Part
Everyday tasks such as driving, and cycling, involve continuous predictions to fulfil the requirements of situation awareness. In these tasks, it is common for people to use predictions to address visual occlusion events or moments when information is out of sight as a result of human embodiment and natural locomotion. While the visual system is efficient in predicting small-scale visual actions (
Everyday driving relies on cognitive functions such as visual search, change detection and predictive attention for maintaining a high-level mental model of the world. Such functions are especially constrained by limited cognitive resources under complex conditions. Understanding the manner in which environmental complexity influences cognitive driving performance is key to improving road safety a
Archbishop Gustav Trolle worked for the freedom of the church. He was not afraid to compromise in certain circumstances if it served the church’s cause. His alliance with Christian II came later than is often presumed and was more reactive than calculated. Furthermore, the Bloodbath took place on a scale larger than Trolle had intended. His image has, however, been profoundly influenced by his ene
BACKGROUND: Insufficient knowledge among assistant nurses (ANs) in nursing homes (NHs) on medicines and drug-related problems (DRPs) in older people causes difficulties in acknowledging the side effects of medications, which can be harmful to the individual and endangers patient safety. The aim of this study was to explore the ANs' thoughts on their professional role in preventing DRPs in NH resid
BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) is associated with lower mortality in heart failure (HF) patients and protects against cardiac and kidney injury in mice.OBJECTIVES: The authors investigated dapagliflozin's cardiorenal effects by studying its association with ApoM in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction.METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of DEFINE-HF (Dapagliflozin Effects on
INTRODUCTION: Trust in healthcare is central to the delivery of care and unequally distributed between groups in society. Experiences of perceived discrimination have been associated with lack of such trust. Although the importance of trust in healthcare has been highlighted in recent years, studies in this area are relatively scarce.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated the risk of low trust in
Background: Inhibitory deficits are common in psychopathology. Emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) and rumination are general risk factors for psychiatric distress that are similarly associated with dysfunctional inhibition—particularly in affective contexts. A number of cognitive remediation procedures have been developed to improve inhibitory control; however, most remediation programs focus on “c
Dopamine replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease can induce impulsive-compulsive behaviours (ICBs). Here we compare the D2/3 agonist ropinirole and L-DOPA, given alone or combined, with regard to their potential to induce ICBs in rats sustaining bilateral striatal injections of 6-hydroxydopamine. Daily treatment with ropinirole (2.5 mg/kg), L-DOPA (24.0 mg/kg), or their combination was given f
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative opportunistic bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised hosts. The complement system is a critical mechanism of innate immunity that protects the human body from bacterial infections. Complement activation leads to the deposition of the membrane attack complex (MAC), which can directly lyse gramnegative bacteria.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide and the majority of AF patients are treated in primary care. In order to minimize hospitalizations and visits to emergency departments, nurse-led care was introduced in secondary care and primary health care (PHC). However, even though nurse-led care was initiated in PHC almost a decade ago, and ESC guidelines recommended
Background: Human milk offers significant health benefits for infants; however, when not feasible, infant formula serves as an alternative. The higher protein content in infant formula is thought to contribute to the distinct metabolic profiles observed in formula-fed infants compared with those fed human milk. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of formula protein quantity and whey pro
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a heterogeneous disease. Several studies have identified transcriptional subtypes of mCRPC, but comprehensive analysis of prognostic gene expression pathways has been limited. Therefore, we aggregated a cohort of 1012 mCRPC tissue samples from 769 patients and investigated the association of gene expression-based pathways with clinical out
