Compound optimization of distributed energy systems, urban morphology, and the transportation network is crucial to improving the robustness of interconnected urban energy infrastructures and enhancing their resilience to extreme climate events. Available methods and tools mainly focus on optimizing one component in urban areas and fail to consider complex interactions in interconnected infrastruc

The advent of optogenetic tools has had a profound impact on modern neuroscience research, revolutionizing our understanding of the brain. These tools offer a remarkable ability to precisely manipulate specific groups of neurons with an unprecedented level of temporal precision, on the order of milliseconds. This breakthrough has significantly advanced our knowledge of various physiological and pa

The European baseline series was last updated in 2019. This article discusses the reasoning behind a further iteration of the series for 2023.

Introduction: Neurodegenerative disorders are associated with different pathologies that often co-occur but cannot be measured specifically with in vivo methods. Methods: Thirty-three brain hemispheres from donors with an Alzheimer's disease (AD) spectrum diagnosis underwent T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Gray matter thickness was paired with histopathology from the closest anatomic

This textbook provides an overview of the core concepts, theories and methods in strategic communication, using examples from research and experiences from practice. Strategic Communication begins by explaining the fundamental concepts related to communication, organizations and strategy, and then explores the communication processes within leadership, reputation, crisis and change. The authors wo

This chapter focuses on communication-centered change research and its implications for public sector organizations. It focuses on the organizational level and the communication processes through which changes are enacted. Special attention is given to coworkers and how they make sense in times of changes. Sensemaking processes play a crucial role in organizational changes; if managers and employe

Impaired lexical retrieval is common in persons with low-grade glioma (LGG). Several studies have reported a discrepancy between subjective word-finding difficulties and results on formal tests. Analysis of spontaneous speech might be more sensitive to signs of word-finding difficulties, hence we aimed to explore disfluencies in a spontaneous-speech task performed by participants with presumed LGG

Mpox (previously named Monkeypox) is one of the neglected viral infectious diseases that remained silent for a long period before finally emerging as a threat to the healthcare system in endemic regions of the world in recent years. It has been mostly centered in African countries but has now been reported in other non-endemic regions as well. While keeping a strict eye on COVID pandemic handling,

This chapter aims to provide insight into the phenomenon of European Union projectification . The paper is conceptual in nature and draws on the results of several research projects conducted by the authors, who represent two disciplines - management and political sciences . In the article we first discuss what distinguishes EU projects from other projects . Thereafter we describe the projectifica

ObjectiveThe relationships between carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) and β cell function and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have not been fully elucidated. This study is to investigate whether impaired glucose metabolism is etiologically associated with C-IMT in patients with T2D.MethodsThe study group consisted of 490 (284 men, 206 women) participants. Venous blood

The possible climate effects of redesignating lowland soils are contested among different stakeholders who have different interests in the soils.This presentation will focus on negotiations of knowledge in the process of identifying and classifying lowland soils in the act of recuperation with a particular focus on notions of farmers’ freedom and autonomy among local farmers as well as state regul

Mot bakgrund av den globala krisen för klimatet och den biologiska mångfalden ifrågasätts jordbrukets roll i landskapet. I Danmark har man politiskt beslutat att 100 000 hektar våtmarker ska tas ur jordbruksanvändning, och nya naturförvaltningsprojekt har inletts för att främja biologisk mångfald och klimat. Den gröna omställningen är alltså ännu ett lager av externa krav och regler som pressar laIn light of the global climate and biodiversity crisis, the role of agriculture is challenged. In Denmark, politicians aim to withdraw 100.000 hectares of low-lying organic soils from agricultural production, which paves the way for new nature management projects to address climate change and biodiversity decline. Thus, the green transition adds another layer of external requirements and regulatio

Aims: In the present study, we aimed to determine how Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), recovery (function and capacity in daily life) and well-being are followed up and characterised in persons ≥65 years of age who were being cared for in an intensive care unit (ICU). Design: A scoping review. Methods: CINAHL, MEDLINE (Ovid) and PsycINFO databases were searched in October 2021. 20 studies m

Background and aims: The associations of vitamin D level with venous thromboembolism (VTE) reported in observational studies, whereas these causal associations were uncertain in European population. Therefore, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) method to explore the causal associations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and the risk of VTE and its subtypes [including deep vein

Equality between men and women has also affected women in non-expected ways. Today, the prevalence of female substance abuse is slowly approaching the male level. A similar trend has been seen in gambling with increased numbers of women gambling and developing problems but also seeking help for problems related to gambling. There is reason to believe the same is applicable for gaming. Several stud
