The identification, definition and typology of manuscript lacunae

In the article the question of how to identify and define lacunae is discussed, both in general and exemplified in manuscripts containing collections of monastic sayings of the Desert Fathers. These sayings, organized in different ways, were probably written down in Greek during the early fifth century and were soon translated into many languages. In a relational MySQL database, the sayings as the

Incremental validity of ambulatory assessment of acute dynamic risk in predicting time to recidivism among prisoners on parole

This study investigates the incremental validity of changes in ten stress-related acute dynamic risk factors, collected through automated telephony over 30 consecutive days following parole, for predicting time to recidivism during the following year. Before release, the participants completed self-report assessment of some stable risk factors–impulsiveness and history of problematic substance use

Frailty and prediction of recurrent falls over 10 years in a community cohort of 75-year-old women

Background: Frailty captures the age-related declines in health leading to increased vulnerability, including falls which are commonplace in older women. The relationship between frailty and falls is complex, with one leading to the other in a vicious cycle. Aims: This study addresses the gap in understanding how patterns of frailty and falls propensity interact, particularly in those who have not

Spatial relationship between telocytes, interstitial cells of Cajal and the enteric nervous system in the human ileum and colon

Telocytes (TCs) are recently described interstitial cells, present in almost all human organs. Among many other functions, TCs regulate gastrointestinal motility together with the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). TCs and ICCs have close localization in the human myenteric plexus; however, the exact spatial relationship cannot be clearly examined by previously applied double immunofluorescence/c

Field analyses for determination of material parameters - experimental and numerical aspects : Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Abisko National Park, Kiruna, Sweden, July 31 - August 4, 2000

The need for modelling of materials behaviour under various mechanical conditions is driven by the evolution of computer capacity and the ability of scientists to address complex mechanical problems. Reliable models for materials behaviour, including accurate numerical values of parameters, are necessary for a continued beneficial development of the computational side of solid mechanics. High rate

Experiences of teaching sexual and reproductive health to students with intellectual disabilities

There is growing awareness and international commitment to improving sexual and reproductive health for persons with intellectual disabilities. Despite this, people with intellectual disabilities continue to face stigma and have limited access to sexual health education and information. This qualitative phenomenological study uses data from 10 interviews to describe what it means to teach sexual a

Nordic Gods in Classical Dress : De diis arctois by C. G. Brunius

The 19th century in Sweden, like in many other European countries, saw a largedecline in the quantity of Neo-Latin literary production. However, a range of skillful Latin poets may be named from this period: Johan Lundblad, Johan Tranér, Emil Söderström, Johan Bergman and others, engaged as well in translating from Swedish into Latin as in composing poems of their own. It was also in the 19th cent

Highly-efficient removal of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) from water by novel lithium, sodium and potassium titanate reusable microrods

In this work, we report on the efficient removal of heavy metal ions with nanostructured lithium, sodium and potassium titanates from simulated wastewater. The titanates were obtained via a fast, easy and cost effective process based on extraction of sulfate ions from the crystals of titanyl sulfate and their replacement with hydroxyl groups of NaOH, LiOH and KOH solutions leaving the Ti-O framewo

Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide : Implications in diabetes

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are two gasotransmitters that are produced in the human body and have a key role in many of the physiological activities of the various organ systems. Decreased NO bioavailability and deficiency of H2S are involved in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and its complications. Restoration of NO levels have favorable metabolic effects in diabetes. The

Antibiotic-prescribing and antibiotic-resistance patterns among elderly citizens residing in two Nordic regions

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare antibiotic-prescribing rates in 2016 and antibiotic-resistance rates in 2017 among citizens aged ≥85 years between the Capital Region in Denmark and the Skåne Region in Sweden, with regards to overall antibiotic use and antibiotics of choice for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). Methods: Inhabitants ≥8

Proteomic characterization of the normal human medial meniscus body using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry

Recent research suggests an important role of the meniscus in the development of knee osteoarthritis. We, therefore, aimed to analyze the proteome of the normal human meniscus body, and specifically to gain new knowledge on global protein expression in the different radial zones. Medial menisci were retrieved from the right knees of 10 human cadaveric donors, from which we cut a 2 mm radial slice

Detection of F8 int22h inversions using digital droplet PCR and mile-post assays

BACKGROUND: Inversions involving intron 22 (Inv22) of F8 are detected in approximately 45% of all severe hemophilia A patients. Diagnosis is complicated by the large size of the ~9.5 kb int22h repeated sequence which generates the inversions. Methods such as long-range PCR and inverse-shifting PCR are currently used diagnostically, but suffer from low PCR efficiencies and are difficult to standard

Protein crystallization benefits from the rough well surface of a 48-well polystyrene microplate

It’s not clear whether the drop well surface can induce heterogeneous nucleation to increase the probability of screening success, although a medium-throughput 48-well SBS (the Society for Biomolecular Screening, USA) polystyrene microplate has been widely used for protein crystallization screening. Here, our accumulating data suggested that this 48-well SBS microplate with rough surface is benefi

Towards a tactile artifical hand

Amputation of a hand is a life-changing event, and the loss of motor and sensory functions leads to disability and has devastating effects on the individual. What is normally performed using two hands must be solved with only one, and the loss also affects body balance and body posture. In addition, amputation of a hand has psychological effects, and has an influence on social life, participation,

Bayesian alignment of proteins via Delaunay tetrahedralization

An active area of research in bioinformatics is finding structural similarity of proteins by alignment. Among many methods, the popular one is to find the similarity based on statistical features. This method involves gathering information from the complex biomolecule structure and obtaining the best alignment by maximizing the number of matched features. In this paper, after reviewing statistical
