Molecular “muscle” fibres built from light-driven motors promise controllable, contractile soft materials, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms causing macroscopic motion remain elusive, hindering effective design and tuning. Here, we develop a multiscale simulation workflow that connects atomistic chemistry to supramolecular mechanics across single molecules, fibres, and multi-fibre assemblies
Forskningsfråga: Hur påverkar individers kognitiva beslutsstil deras upplevda tillfredsställelse med analytiska verktyg i ERP-miljöer? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur individuella kognitiva beslutsstilar relaterar till upplevd tillfredsställelse med analytiska informationssystem i ERP-miljöer. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstuResearch question: How does individuals’ cognitive decision style affect their perceived satisfaction with analytical tools in ERP environments? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of how individual cognitive decision styles relate to perceived satisfaction with analytical information systems in ERP environments. Methodology: The study was conducted
This thesis examines how participant-made banners from the Strajk Kobiet protests in Poland re-appropriated national and religious symbols to challenge cultural narratives and offer alternative visions of Polishness and womanhood. Set against democratic backsliding and a strong state–Church alliance, the study focuses on five photographs from the Archive of Public Protests, selected for their enga
Aims: This study compares the associations of Life's Simple 7 (LS7) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8) with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome populations. Methods: This cohort study analyzed 11,487 participants aged ≥20 years with CKM syndrome from NHANES 2005–2018. Participants were categorized into non-advanced (stages 0–2) and advanced (stages 3–
BACKGROUND: Recent research using a data-driven cluster approach has identified five discordant subclassifying body mass index (BMI) subgroups, characterized by cardiometabolic biomarkers deviated from those predicted by BMI.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the associations of these subgroups with risks of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and liver-related
Optimizing the use of available resources is often termed “Fast-track”, a term more or less overlapping the term “Enhanced Recovery after Surgery” (ERAS). The obesity epidemic calls for increased use of surgery, since no other therapeutic modality can achieve massive and lasting weight loss. Good results can be expressed in terms of therapeutic success, patient safety as well as the optimum use of
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) caused by textile dyes is not uncommon. The main dye allergens belong to disperse dyes which are used for coloring synthetic textile fibers. The European baseline series is not suitable for the reliable detection of textile dye allergy although p-phenylenediamine has been considered as a marker for contact allergy to disperse azo dyes. In order to diagnose ACD fro
Diffraction gratings are among the most fundamental optical elements. They are essential in ultrafast optics for manipulating the spectral phase of coherent ultrashort light pulses in grating stretchers, compressors, and pulse shapers. In this work, we have exploited an effect associated with diffraction from a single grating, which can produce large amounts of spatially dependent GDD. Leveraging
A large panorama of lesions is accessible to fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). This chapter focuses on lesions of the salivary glands, as well as tumors of the tongue and oral and nasal cavities. Some unusual lesions of the neck will also be presented. Aspiration cytology of thyroid, parathyroid, and lymph nodes is dealt with in other chapters. When confronted with a mass lesion in the head
It is widely believed that Friedrich Hayek's first encounter with Gunnar Myrdal involved the latter's last-minute contribution, as a replacement for Erik Lindahl, to a Sammelband edited by the former in 1933, and that Hayek was lukewarm toward Myrdal and his ideas from the very beginning. Correspondence between the two shows that, in fact, their interaction about this contribution began two years
Although the ~200 impact craters known on Earth represent only a small fraction of the craters originally formed, the available data suggest an excess of craters by one order of magnitude, in number, in the interval ca. 470-440 Ma during the Ordovician. Most of these “excess” craters may be related to the breakup of the L-chondrite parent body (LCPB) in the asteroid belt at 465.8 ± 0.3 Ma. This is
Numerical models of meteorite delivery from impacts on the Moon have demonstrated that the impact event forming the lunar crater Tycho (~85 km diameter; ca. 109 Ma age) would have delivered considerable amounts of ejected material to Earth. The ejecta, containing lunar Ti- and V-rich chrome spinels, would have been distributed globally and admixed with seafloor sediments over a few meters of a typ
Swallowing problems may be due to an abnormal transportation of food and drinks from the mouth to the stomach. The esophagram aims to monitor this and to reveal abnormalities in the morphodynamic process. It is important to analyze the patient’s symptom before the examination in order to custom-tailor the radiologic approach and to be able to explain the patients symptoms. Lower motor-neuron disea
Just as the cytomorphological picture is composed of several microscopic components, the cytodiagnostic conclusion should be supported by several other components, such as the clinical setting and the ancillary techniques applied, particularly flow cytometry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular genetic analyses for lymphomas, and immunohistochemistry for metastatic disease. In the s
Antiferromagnets are promising candidates for ultrafast spintronic applications, leveraging current-induced spin-orbit torques. However, experimentally distinguishing between different switching mechanisms of the staggered magnetization (Néel vector) driven by current pulses remains a challenge. In an exemplary study of the collinear antiferromagnetic compound Mn2Au, we demonstrate that slower the
An explicit algorithm is given for the computation of the Hausdorff dimension of the closure of a regular branch group in terms of an arbitrary branch structure. We implement this algorithm in GAP and apply it to a family of GGS-groups acting on the 4-adic tree.
The purpose of this narrative review is to provide an evidence-based update on management strategies for young adults with meniscal tears, based on two recent randomized controlled trials comparing a surgical vs. non-surgical treatment strategy for this patient group. The results from these trials suggests that exercise therapy is a viable treatment alternative for young adults with a meniscal tea
