This article revises the intellectual history of slavery in eighteenth-century Denmark. Against the view that there was little discussion of slavery in Denmark before the reception of British abolitionist ideas towards the end of the century, it shows that the teaching of natural law provided a consistent, significant, and overlooked forum for discussing the question of slavery. Engaging with a si

A new genus and species of emperor butterfly (Nymphalidae, Apaturinae) is described based on an exceptionally well-preserved specimen from the "Calcaire de Campagne Calavon" limestone of southern France (early Oligocene age, approximately 34–28 Mya). Most parts of the right wings and upper parts of the left wings are visible, with complete venation and even wing patterns. The head and thorax are c

While the impacts of climate change can negatively affect persons in both developed and developing countries, the notion of climate change loss and damage has typically been associated with the latter. Indeed, the mandate of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage, the institution tasked with addressing loss and damage in international climate change law, extends to developing count

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the associations between impaired spirometry such as obstructive pattern and preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and occurrent cardiovascular events and deaths in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: Cohort study of 517 patients with age ≥40 years and ≥10 pack-years of smoking, hospitalized for myocardial infarction at eig

ObjectiveTo compare the early and midterm outcomes of left subclavian artery revascularization during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) following carotid subclavian bypass/transposition (CSB) vs. fenestrated repair when landing in zone 1/2. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for baseline differences.MethodsDEbranching versus FENestrated Repair for Left SubClavian Arter

PURPOSE: Voice problems in teachers have been extensively studied; however, the relationship between voice disorders and work ability has not been thoroughly explored. Existing studies have often used self-reporting and cross-sectional designs. This 16-year longitudinal cohort study aimed to explore the association between sick leave due to diagnosed functional voice disorders and work ability.MET

Purpose: Altered auditory feedback research aims to identify methods to strengthen speakers’ awareness of their own voicing behaviors, diminish their perception of vocal fatigue, and improve their voice production. This study aims to compare the effects of two bone conduction devices that provide altered auditory feedback. Method: Twenty participants (19-33 years old, age: M [SD]=25.5 [3.85] years

Common health issues have been less examined in studies of early language development, particularly in relation to the child’s sex. Respiratory tract infections, often complicated by acute otitis media, are common in children during the first years of life, when early vocabulary development takes place. The present study, conducted in Finland, aimed to investigate whether possible associations bet

Objective: To validate the Voice Handicap Index-Throat (VHI-T) in Brazilian Portuguese and compare the three formats: VHI-T-Br, VHI-T used in combination with the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and VHI-T used in combination with the reduced version of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10) Methods: This cross-sectional study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Recruitment and data collection we

Several studies have shown the benefits for teachers and students in using Sound Field Amplification Systems (SFA). This study evaluates the effects of SFAs on reducing vocal strain in daycare staff and enhancing children's concentration in noisy environments. The study's novelty lies in exploring SFA use in the complex environments of daycare centers. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, structure

Purpose This study assesses changes in speech production caused by altered auditory feedback provided through two bone conduction devices. The first device uses sidetone amplification through bone conduction headphones and the second device, called Forbrain®, applies a two-band equalizer filter to the voice signal and provides this altered auditory signal through bone conduction headphones. Togeth

Objective: This study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the throat scale of the Voice Handicap Index to the Brazilian Portuguese language.uracy. Material and Methods: This was performed in five phases translation, synthesis, back translation, review, and pretest. Fifty subjects participated in the pretest, of which 22 participants had chronic cough, 13 had laryngopharyngeal reflux, and

The incorporation of electron-withdrawing B←N coordination units has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance n-type charge transport in conjugated polymers. However, the orientation of these units, whether perpendicular or parallel to the polymer backbone, profoundly influences effective conjugation, molecular packing, and ultimately charge transport properties. To address this structure-prope

Imaging technologies are very crucial in today's society, with critical importance in three major domains: security and risk detection, medical diagnosis, and industrial quality control. Imaging techniques enable the visualization, sensing, and detection of signals across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Starting from early digital radiographs to complex hyperspectral or low-light techniques,

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is associated with high mortality. Whether cefazolin or an antistaphylococcal penicillin should be preferred for the treatment of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus bacteremia is unclear.METHODS: In an ongoing international Bayesian adaptive platform trial, we conducted an open-label, randomized comparison of cefazolin with an antistaphylococcal penicill

BACKGROUND: Previously considered rare, penicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (PSSA) bacteraemia has re-emerged worldwide. Although benzylpenicillin might offer advantages in terms of pharmacokinetic and adverse effect profiles, anti-staphylococcal penicillins are recommended for serious infections because of concern over undetected penicillin resistance. We aimed to compare benzylpenicilli

Purpose – This article aims to examine how the agile approach interrelates with project complexity in product development. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopts a case study approach, using multiple dimensions of project complexity as an analytical framework to examine two complementary product development projects that involved the agile approach. Findings – The findings reveal that the
