Gaming disorder (GD) is an addictive disorder with health and social impacts recognized by the World Health Organization. Although the GD treatment evidence base appear to favor cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), knowledge of its common practice elements is limited. This systematic review critically evaluates CBT interventions for GD, encompassing individual, group, and mixed approaches, to ident
Many powder X-ray diffraction, total scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments at synchrotron facilities yield azimuthally integrated intensity data, yet current practice relies on facility-specific data formats that hinder inter-operability and reuse. We propose a standardized HDF5-based format within the NeXus convention (NXazint), designed to store 1D and 2D integrated data along
Bridges are critical assets within transportation networks, and their failure, whether due to accidental actions, extreme environmental events, or localized damage, can lead to consequences that extend far beyond the structure itself. In addition to direct safety implications, bridge failures often result in prolonged traffic disruption, economic losses, and reduced network resilience. As traffic
One of the main challenges in regenerative medicine is the spatiotemporal control of angiogenesis, which is key for the successful repair of many tissues, and determines the proper integration of the implant through the generation of a functional vascular network. To this end, we have designed a three-dimensional (3D) model consisting of a coaxial binary elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) tubular con
Introduction Distinguishing between homicide and suicide in cases of single stab injuries to the trunk can be challenging, particularly in the absence of clear contextual information. This study aims to address this issue by developing the MODSIT score (Manner of Death in Stab Injuries to the Trunk)—an evidence-based scoring system designed to standardise forensic manner of death assessments. Meth
Date palm oases in North Africa have historically supported agriculture through indigenous irrigation techniques such as foggaras and tabias, made possible by a relatively stable water supply. However, the sustainability of these systems is increasingly threatened by irrational water use, climate change and environmental resources degradation. In response to these challenges, we introduced and eva
In this second episode of the podcast Nic and Rebecca invite Josefin Martell to the mic and chat to her about Impact Craters. Thereafter they take a closer look at one of their favourite astronomical objects: Dimidium.
Accurate reservoir dynamics, particularly water storage and inflow, are crucial for release decisions and operation rule assessments. However, the lack of sufficient monitoring data has hindered the accurate representation of reservoir behavior in hydrological models. While the increasing availability of satellite imagery provides unprecedented opportunities for dynamic reservoir monitoring, its p
Background: The role of cystectomy in synchronous oligometastatic bladder cancer is unclear. Objective: To describe a population-based consecutive cohort with primary oligometastatic bladder cancer (M1a or M1b) treated with curative intent. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with primary stage M1a or M1b bladder cancer subjected to induction chemotherapy and radical cystectomy 2013–2024 in the S
Patients with dementia experience a steady deterioration in cognitive function that increases mortality and impairments. Moreover, dementia is also anticipated to increase significantly in prevalence as the world's population ages, placing a strain on healthcare systems throughout the globe. Hence, early identification and prediction of dementia are essential due to timely treatments, enhanced pat
Purpose: To define the curriculum content for two interactive learning courses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD): (1) an advanced course tailored for general ophthalmologists and (2) a basic course for non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff. This initiative aims to establish a national consensus on the educational framework for AMD management among general ophthalmologists in Denmark. Method
We present the CH4 and N2O budgets for anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks of Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) from 2010 to 2019 using bottom-up and top-down methods, in line with the RECCAP-2 initiative, with extensions to 2022. We show that the bottom-up CH4 budget for Australasia (2010–2019) was a net source of 14.1 ± 5.5 Tg CH4 yr−1, with Australia and New Zealand contributing 8
Background: Minimising time from injury to hospital admission is considered a key factor in trauma. Trauma care is often centralised to hospitals, which, because of their urban location, make treatment more accessible to patients in densely populated areas. If prehospital time increases with declining population density, an effect on mortality could hence be present. The primary aim of this study
Older adults are often portrayed as unwilling or unable to address quality issues in the formal care they receive. This study explores a methodology that captures the everyday reactions of older care users to quality problems, offering a nuanced understanding of their voice and agency when dissatisfied with care services. Using a telephone diary method, eight care users were contacted twice a week
Historical archaeology in Scandinavia is an expand- ing field, but despite its global nature, the discipline is trapped in methodological nationalism. The early modern and modern societies are generally studied us- ing the current national borders even though the ma- terial culture should not be constrained in this way. By illustrating with both theoretical and empirical ex- amples, the objective
Surface water pollution consists of various pollutants like heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Pb, and Ni), metalloids (Se, As, and Ag), and organic pollutants (dyes, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and phenolic compounds). The escalating issue of water pollution requires innovative solutions for mitigation and climate resilience. Although various advanced techniques are being developed for removing
A public housing company has applied a new renovation strategy, comprising no standards raising and thus rent-raising measures, in 20% of its apartments. Prior to renovation, the tenants were given the opportunity to choose renovation options involving different standards and costs after renovation. The purpose of the study is to follow up and give feedback on the renovation strategy. The aim was
This paper is based on the work done for the 2017 AIAA Student Design Competition-Human Spaceflight: Phobos Base. One of humanity's major challenges when travelling to Mars is represented by the existence of an atmosphere around the red planet. In fact, even though the Martian atmospheric density is only about 1% of that of Earth, the entry, descent and landing (EDL) procedure for large payloads i
