Background: The affective profiles model has been used in several studies investigating individual differences in, for example, well-being and ill-being. The model categorizes individuals in four profiles based on the balance of high/low positive/negative affect: (1) self-fulfilling (high positive affect, low negative affect); (2) high affective (high positive affect, high negative affect); (3) lo
This review examines the hidden and invisible labor humans perform to enable robots to function as agents within Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). While robot agency is often framed as internal and autonomous, this perspective overlooks the relational dynamics that sustain robot functionality in real-world settings. Drawing on feminist theory, the review highlights how humans frequently share the res
Purpose: The number of women living with breast cancer (BC) is increasing, and the efficacy of surveillance programs after BC treatment is essential. Identification of links between mammographic features and recurrence could help design follow up strategies, which may lead to earlier detection of recurrence. The aim of this study was to analyze associations between mammographic features at diagnos
CONTEXT: A healthy lifestyle is the cornerstone of management in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the associations between dietary macronutrient composition and different aspects of NAFLD pathology are unclear and dietary recommendations for NAFLD are lacking.OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to evaluate the associations of dietary macronutrient composition with hepatic steatosis, hepat
In the present paper we consider the problem of attitude synchronization for a system of rigid body agents. We provide distributed kinematic control laws for two different synchronization problems. In the two problems the objective is the same, i.e., to synchronize the orientations of the agents, but what is assumed to be measurable by the agents differs. In problem 1 the agents measure their own
A group of pre-service teachers were studied from two social practices, as teachers and as students. Their perceptions of mathematics concepts and beliefs about the mathematics teacher role were studied through questionnaires, interviews and classroom observations. Three students were selected as cases in this paper where their links between the concepts limits, derivatives, integrals and continui
This study is a follow-up investigation of the influence of the alloying elements Nd and La on the corrosionCorrosionby immersionImmersion of an extruded and heat-treated Mg10Gd. The previous study made clear that the age-hardened condition has the lowest corrosion rateCorrosion Rate but high pitting corrosionPitting corrosion susceptibility. The extruded Mg10Gd(1Nd)1La shows the lowest pitting fa
Research shows mental health is impacted by poor-quality physical and social-environmental conditions. Subsequently state-led redevelopment/regeneration schemes focus on improving the physical environment, to provide better social-environmental conditions, addressing spatial and socioeconomic inequities thus improving residents' health. However, recent research suggests that redevelopment/regenera
In vehicular communications systems the channel estimation filter suppresses the additive noise in channel estimates obtained from pilot symbols. Vehicular channels show local stationarity for a finite region in time and frequency, only. Such a process can be divided into consecutive stationarity regions, allowing to calculate a Wiener filter. We analyze the increase of the mean square error (MSE)
Non-responders to checkpoint inhibitors generally have low tumor T cell infiltration and could benefit from immunotherapy that activates dendritic cells, with priming of tumor-reactive T cells as a result. Such therapies may be augmented by providing tumor antigen in the form of cancer vaccines. Our aim was to study the effects of mitazalimab (ADC-1013; JNJ-64457107), a human anti-CD40 agonist IgG
Although CD8+ T cell tolerance to tissue-specific antigen (TSA) is essential for host homeostasis, the mechanisms underlying peripheral cross-tolerance and whether they may differ between tissue sites remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that peripheral cross-tolerance to intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)–derived antigen involves the generation and suppressive function of FoxP3+CD8+
I discuss the dilution of responsibility of action and the idea of a symmetrical relationship between artefacts and humans. In doing so, I argue that meaning making is an activity unilaterally performed by agents, leading to an asymmetrical relationship between agents and artefacts. Therefore, the study of the one who is responsible for the action, the meaning-maker (with the capability to act) is
A frequency domain, weighted least squares, sensitivity function shaping procedure is presented. Pole placement is used as the basic servo design procedure. Controller overparametrization gives the degree of freedom for shaping the sensitivity function. A benchmark design example shows the capabilities of the method. The computation is simple making the design suitable for adaptive control.
CONTEXT: Vitamin D (Vit-D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are the major calciotropic hormones involved in the regulation of blood calcium levels from the intestine, kidney, and bone through a tight endocrine feedback loop system. Altered levels of calcium itself or through the effect of its regulatory hormones could affect blood pressure (BP), but the exact mec
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were identified more than 50 years ago, and research advances have promoted the translation of pre-clinical studies into clinical settings in several diseases. However, we are only starting to uncover the local factors that regulate cell phenotype, cell function, and cell viability across tissues following administration in different diseases. Advances in pre-clini
BACKGROUND: KRAS mutation can alter the treatment plan after resection of colorectal cancer. Despite its importance, the KRAS status of several patients remains unchecked because of the high cost and limited resources. This study developed a deep neural network (DNN) to predict the KRAS genotype using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained histopathological images. STUDY DESIGN: Three DNNs were c
In this chapter I analyse the recent criminalization of negligent rape in Sweden, introduced in 2018. My aim is to contribute to the discussion of criminalization as it relates to violence against women, while taking a broad view of criminalization that includes not only criminalization per se but also the application of law. My analysis of the application of the crime of negligent rape, from the
Health economic evaluations provide decision makers with information whether the health effects of one intervention come at a reasonable cost in relation to a comparator. The existing evidence indicate that health promotion for community-dwelling older people result in a range of positive health outcomes, but there is a general lack of health economic evaluation. The aim was to evaluate cost-effec
