A search for heavy resonances decaying into a Higgs boson (H) and a new particle (X) is reported, utilizing 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at s=13TeV collected during 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The particle X is assumed to decay to a pair of light quarks, and the fully hadronic final state XH→qq¯′bb¯ is analysed. The search considers the reg
Background: Increasing evidence suggests a link between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and intake of gluten, but no controlled trials have examined whether a gluten-free diet (GFD) has positive effects on glycemic control in children with T1D. Methods: We conducted a non-randomized feasibility study. Twenty-three children with newly diagnosed T1D were included and either followed a GFD (n = 14) or a normal
Searches for exclusive decays of the Higgs boson into D⁎γ and of the Z boson into D0γ and Ks0γ can probe flavour-violating Higgs boson and Z boson couplings to light quarks. Searches for these decays are performed with a pp collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 136.3 fb−1 collected at s=13TeV between 2016–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
A search is presented for flavour-changing neutral-current interactions involving the top quark, the Higgs boson and an up-type quark (q=u,c) with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis considers leptonic decays of the top quark along with Higgs boson decays into two W bosons, two Z bosons or a τ+τ- pair. It focuses on final states containing either two leptons (electrons or
A search for Higgs boson pair production via vector-boson fusion is performed in the Lorentz-boosted regime, where a Higgs boson candidate is reconstructed as a single large-radius jet, using 140 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Only Higgs boson decays into bottom quark pairs are considered. The search is particularly sen
The notion of the “flesh” plays an important part in Jerome’s theology at large, and this is no less true of his anti-Pelagian polemics. Against what he presents as the Pelagian idea of apatheia, Jerome points out that due to our existence in the flesh, we cannot hope to be free from sin during our earthly lives. A central accusation against Pelagianism which Jerome expresses in this connection, iThe notion of the 'flesh' plays an important part in Jerome’s theology at large, and this is no less true of his anti-Pelagian polemics.

Background: Many patients with psychotic disorders have persistent paranoid ideation and avoid social situations because of suspiciousness and anxiety. We investigated the effects of virtual-reality-based cognitive behavioural therapy (VR-CBT) on paranoid thoughts and social participation. Methods: In this randomised controlled trial at seven Dutch mental health centres, outpatients aged 18–65 yea
Background: There is no consensus or clinical guidelines for screening routines of autoimmune disease in individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), since results are conflicting whether the risk for such conditions is increased or not among individuals with JIA. The aim of this study was to investigate if the frequency of comorbid autoimmune conditions is increased after JIA diagnosis i
Oxyanion holes play a major role in catalyzing enzymatic reactions, yet the corresponding energetics is frequently misunderstood. The main problem may be associated with the nontrivial nature of the electrostatic preorganization effect, without following the relevant formulation. That is, although the energetics of oxyanion holes have been fully quantified in early studies (which include both the
Background: The water supply in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, has been unstable and under strain for decades, resulting in major issues with drinking water quality, reliability, and acceptability. In 2018, between 25% and 30% of Gazans did not have regular access to running water. The progressive deterioration of water infrastructure and concerns over the quality of piped water have resulted in a com
The envisioning of a Scandinavian Theme Park to be located outside Malmö, close to the anchor of the bridge to Copenhagen, is here discussed in relation to the culture and heritage that was represented in the design proposals. The public presentations of the project were directed by a small group of visionaries who were given space and economic support by the political leadership of Malmö City, inThe envisioning of a Scandinavian Theme Park to be located outside Malmö, close to the anchor of the bridge to Copenhagen, is here discussed in relation to the culture and heritage that was represented in the design proposals.

The updated Consolidated Health Economics Evaluation Reporting Standards, CHEERS 2022, is considered the most comprehensive publication to assess reporting quality of economic evaluations (EEs) incorporating criteria of trial- and model-based studies, including emerging methods. However, it holds multiple criteria per item without clear decision rules on minimum requirements for complete reporting
Studying the composition of exoplanets is one of the most promising approaches to observationally constrain planet formation and evolution processes. However, this endeavour is complicated for small exoplanets by the fact that a wide range of compositions are compatible with their observed bulk properties. To overcome this issue, we identify triangular regions in the mass-radius space where part o
A search for decays of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a light resonance, with a mass of 0.5–3.5 GeV, is performed using the full 140 fb−1 dataset of 13 TeV proton–proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2. Leptonic decays of the Z boson and hadronic decays of the light resonance are considered. The resonance can be interpreted as a J/ψ or ηc meson, an axion-like particl
A search for pair-production of vector-like leptons is presented, considering their decays into a third-generation Standard Model (SM) quark and a vector leptoquark (U1) as predicted by an ultraviolet-complete extension of the SM, referred to as the ‘4321’ model. Given the assumed decay of U1 into third-generation SM fermions, the final state can contain multiple τ-leptons and b-quarks. This searc
People with intellectual disabilities commonly experience violent, abusive, and restrictive contexts, particularly those who are at risk of behaviours that challenge, behaviours that often are a sign of trauma, fear, pain, and loss of power. For example, the use of physical restraint and psychotropic medication to manage behaviours labelled as challenging is prevalent in services for people with i
Background: Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) is a new clinical method that may show better diagnostic quality at lower radiation doses than conventional CT. Objective: To investigate the diagnostic quality and radiation dose of paediatric cardiovascular PCCT for diagnosis of congenital heart defects at 70 kV and 90 kV. Materials and methods: This retrospective assessment included clinica
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with ~40–50% of patients diagnosed with non-metastatic disease (stages IA–IIIC). The treatment landscape is evolving rapidly as immunotherapies and targeted therapy are introduced in the non-metastatic setting, creating a need to assess patient outcomes prior to their introduction. This real-world study usin
