Magnitude of extended high frequency hearing loss associated with auditory related tinnitus distress, when controlling for magnitude of hearing loss at standard frequenciesa)

Impaired thresholds at extended high frequencies (EHF) are tightly linked to the prevalence of tinnitus, but little is known about how EHF status relates to tinnitus characteristics. In the present study, 93 individuals with tinnitus underwent standard (from 0.125 to 8 kHz) and EHF (from 10 to 16 kHz) audiometry and indicated their degree of tinnitus distress by completing the tinnitus functional

Putting the 'theory' back into grounded theory : Guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems

Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the use of grounded theory in information systems research. Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that seeks to develop theory that is grounded in data systematically gathered and analysed. The purpose of this paper is to suggest guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems. Our guidelines are based on a framew

Free-Energy Landscape and Rate Estimation of the Aromatic Ring Flips in Basic Pancreatic Trypsin Inhibitors Using Metadynamics

Aromatic side chains (phenylalanine and tyrosine) of a protein flip by 180° around the Cβ-Cγ axis (χ2 dihedral of the side chain), producing two symmetry-equivalent states. The study of ring flip dynamics with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments helps to understand local conformational fluctuations. Ring flips are categorized as slow (milliseconds and onward) or fast (nanoseconds to near

Chemical food safety of seaweed : Species, spatial and thallus dependent variation of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and techniques for their removal

The increasing interest in seaweed as a food resource in Western societies raises concerns about associated potentially toxic elements (PTEs), including arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, and iodine. Hence, this study examined variation in PTEs by including samples of four different species (Ulva lactuca, Palmaria palmata, Alaria esculenta, and Saccharina latissima) from Ireland, as well as of a sin

Isolated Attosecond Pulse Generation Driven by Spatio-Temporal Pulse Reshaping in a Semi-infinite Gas Cell

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is an ubiquitous tool of great interest in many fields of research from imaging to ultrafast spectroscopy [1]. In its most common implementation, an intense (≈ 1014 W/cm2) infrared (IR) pulse is focused on a noble gas target yielding a train of attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral region. By adopting proper strategies and target geometrie

Ben Kadosh (aka Carl William Hansen), Den ny morgens gry (1906)

This chapter describes Carl William Hansen’s (aka Ben Kadosh) Luciferian manifesto, Den ny morgens gry (1906). Throughout his life, Hansen was a member of several masonic and occult organizations operating in Denmark and was well known (or perhaps notorious) in the Danish occult milieu. Even though Den ny morgens gry appears to be a very original work, it ties in with late nineteenth- and early tw

Receiving a gift and feeling robbed : a phenomenological study on parents’ experiences of Brief Admissions for teenagers who self-harm at risk for suicide

Background: Brief Admission by self-referral is a preventive intervention here intended for individuals who recurrently self-harm and have a history of contact with emergency psychiatric services. Individuals with access to Brief Admission are empowered to self-admit to inpatient care for up to three days per stay and are encouraged to do so before experiencing crisis. Brief Admission was implemen

Capturing time variation within systemic risk estimation

Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system

Netsourcing strategies for vendors : A resource-based and transaction cost economics perspective

This paper discusses Netsourcing strategies for vendors, a little explored area of outsourcing research, using both a resource-based (RBV) perspective and a transaction cost economics (TCE) perspective. Using both theories and an infrastructural view of Information Technology service, we present a conceptual model of vendor sourcing decisions. We then present a number of propositions based on case

Inclusive design-theory : How to take advantage of diversity in information systems design

The theme of ICIS 2013 in Milan is "Reshaping Society through Information Systems" (http://icis2013.aisnet.org/). One aspect of reshaping society that has been recently discussed in central Europe is that of social inclusion (http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=750&langId=en). Yet, after decades of research and ambitious political programs, we still observe an imbalanced treatment toward

Social Media and Development: Understanding NGO practices and perceptions

The goal of this study is to identify the perspectives that development NGOs attribute to organisational social media, and furthermore elaborate on an appropriate categorisation of these perspectives for social media use by development NGOs. How social media is used in the area of development, where the use goes far beyond the private sector purpose of publicity and converting a sale, is a key iss

Gap properties of helical edge states in two-dimensional topological insulators with time-dependent magnetic impurities

The quantum mechanical equivalent of the classical Hall effect can lead to interesting results in solid state physics.A similar effect, that has received attention in recent years, occurs when large spin-orbit coupling is present in a material, the so-called quantum-spin Hall effect.In two-dimensional materials it leads to so-called helical edge states that exhibit counter-propagating electron sta
