The S-scheme mechanism in photocatalysis offers a promising approach to significantly enhance photoreductive activity. Here, using Bi dots as electronic media, and by changing the amount of added C@CuO on the surface of flower-shaped Bi2MoO6, a diverse range of CBM-x heterojunctions, were synthesized using a multi-step approach that incorporated solvothermal preparation and calcination methods. CB
Background: Telemedicine innovations are rarely adopted into routine health care, the reasons for which are not well understood. Teleguidance, a promising service for remote surgical guidance during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was due to be scaled up, but there were concerns that user attitudes might influence adoption. Objective: Our objective was to gain a deeper unders
Background: High-dose haemodiafiltration has been shown, in a randomised clinical trial, to result in a 23% lower risk of mortality for patients with kidney failure when compared with conventional high-flux haemodialysis. Nevertheless, whether treatment effects differ across subgroups, whether a dose–response relationship with convection volume exists, and the effects on cause-specific mortality r
One-stop-shop (OSS) business models offering integrated renovation services, making renovation more affordable and feasible, are a requirement of European Union policies aiming in energy efficiency in buildings. The present paper offers an ex-ante (pre-implementation) and ex-post (post-implementation) evaluation of 37 OSS business models currently operating in the EU renovation market. The evaluat
The ALICE Collaboration reports a search for jet quenching effects in high-multiplicity (HM) proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV, using the semi-inclusive azimuthal-difference distribution ∆φ of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high-pT,trig) trigger hadron. Jet quenching may broaden the ∆φ distribution measured in HM events compared to that in minimum bias (MB) e
Background Mothers attending prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV clinics seem to lack knowledge on many aspects of PMTCT, among which is breastfeeding. Breastfeeding recommendations in PMTCT have changed several times over the years leaving some confused and doubtful of what is currently recommended. One method shown to help improve their knowledge and acceptance of PMTCT rec
In the following study, using highly-developed remote sensing methodologies, a historical over-ten-year study of the LULC phenomenon of the Khorezm Oasis was conducted. The analysis provides valuable insights about agricultural change, water management policies and the alteration of LULC in the region, including several processes, changes in plants and irrigation levels, population density and gro
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of methylxanthines in preventing or treating intermittent hypoxemia or respiratory insufficiency in late preterm infants.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by motor impairments caused by the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Levodopa is an effective and well-Tolerated dopamine replacement agent. However, levodopa provides only symptomatic improvements, without affecting the underlying pathology, and is associated with side effects after long-Term use. Cel
In the 20th century, the scientific community recognized global climate change as a preeminent challenge facing our planet. The primary driver of this predicament was identified as the substantial reliance on fossil fuels, constituting approximately 80% of the world's energy consumption. The combustion of these fossil fuels, particularly those rich in carbon, led to the emission of greenhouse gase
Different rights regarding poor relief – a comparison between the level of reasonable living standards for financial support for the elderly and financial assistanceIn 2003, financial support for the elderly (ÄFS) was introduced in Sweden, which shifted the responsibility for older people in need of financial support from the municipalities to the state. Prior to the reform, the target group recei
Introduction: Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines drive optimal patient care and facilitate access to high-quality treatment. Creating guidelines for rare diseases such as haemophilia, where evidence does not often come from randomized controlled trials but from non-randomized and well-designed observational studies and real-world data, is challenging. The methodology used for assessing av
Introduction: The 2024 ISTH clinical practice guideline (CPG) for treatment of congenital haemophilia, the NBDF-McMaster Guideline on Care Models for Haemophilia Management, and ASH ISTH NBDF WFH guidelines on the diagnosis and management of VWD all utilised GRADE methodology. Aim: Discuss missed opportunities and the methodological approach of the ISTH Guideline in contrast to how GRADE was previ
OBJECTIVES: Small extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain various signaling molecules, thus playing a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and emerging as a promising source of biomarkers. However, the lack of standardized procedures impedes their translation to clinical practice. Thus, we compared different approaches for high-throughput analysis of small EVs transcriptome.METHODS: Small EVs w
This deliverable reports on Risk Assessment for Wetland Sediment Applications on Agricultural Land. The main content is a thorough and critical evaluation (literature review) of the wetland coupled agriculture and the related concerns such as nutrients, sediments and contamination risks. This will also be supported by the two case studies. Constructed wetlands act as traps for substances carried w
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-established technique used in archaeological prospection and it requires a number of specialized routines for signal and image processing to enhance the data acquired and lead towards a better interpretation of them. Computer-aided techniques have advanced the interpretation of GPR data, dealing with a wide range of operations aiming towards locating, imagi
Objective While the incidence of children suffering from autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing in Sweden and worldwide, the underlying etiology and cellular mechanisms behind this remain unknown. The predisposition of the high-risk HLA DR-DQ genotype and as yet unknown environmental triggers lead to autoimmunity and the onset of T1D, which is preceded by islet beta-cell autoantibodies a
