Discussions about singular cognition, and its linguistic counterpart, are by no means exclusive to contemporary philosophy. In fact, a strikingly similar discussion, to which several medieval texts bear witness, took place in the late Middle Ages. The aim of this article is to partly reconstruct this medieval discussion, as it took place in Parisian question-commentaries on Aristotle’s De anima, s

Simultaneous rheological, polarized light imaging, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments (Rheo-PLI-SAXS) are developed, thereby providing unprecedented level of insight into the multiscale orientation of hierarchical systems in simple shear. Notably, it is observed that mesoscale alignment in the flow direction does not develop simultaneously across nano-micro lengthscales in sheared suspen

Entreprenadavtal kännetecknas av långvariga projekt med många inblandade parter och möjligheten för beställaren att ändra föremålet för entreprenaden under projektets gång. Förändrade förutsättningar leda till merkostnader där entreprenören kan vilja kräva ersättning. AB 04, ett av de vanligaste standardavtalen, ger entreprenören rätt till ersättning under vissa förhållanden. Men vid störningar i Construction contracts are characterized by long-term projects involving many parties and the possibility for the client to alter the scope of the project during its course. Changed conditions may lead to additional costs, where the contractor may want to seek compensation. AB 04, one of the most common standard agreements, grants the contractor the right to compensation under certain circumstance

Background: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cross the placenta and thereby expose the fetus, which may lead to developmental consequences. It is still unclear which chemicals are of concern regarding neurodevelopment and specifically behaviour, when being exposed to a mixture. Objective: The objective is to determine associations between prenatal exposure to EDCs and behavioural difficul

Background: Two risk factors for severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely preterm infants are thrombocytopenia and low levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). To date, these risk factors have not been linked. Method: Infants born < 28 weeks gestational age (GA) from 2016 to 2019 were randomized to postnatal enteral AA/DHA supplementation or standard care (contro

Föräldrar till barn med ätsvårigheter upplever stor stress. I Sverige finns inga nationella vårdriktlinjer för barn med ätsvårigheter. Mottagningen för ätsvårigheter arbetar med att behandla barn med ätsvårigheter och att stötta familjerna. Mottagningens vård har tidigare aldrig kvalitetsgranskats. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var undersöka hur föräldrar till barn med ätsvårigheter upplevde att vaParents of children with eating difficulties suffer from great distress. In Sweden there are no national guidelines for the care of children with eating difficulties. The evaluated pediatric clinic consists of a cross-professional team that treats children with eating difficulties and supports the children’s families. The care provided by the clinic has never been evaluated. The purpose of this th

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka de ackulturativa utmaningar som svenskar med annan religiös, etnisk, ras- eller kulturell bakgrund möter, med fokus på hur dessa erfarenheter relaterar tillens självkänsla. Vidare undersöker vi sambandet mellan ackulturativ stress och självkänsla samt hur ens copingstrategier relaterar till hanteringen och upplevelsen av dessa stressorer. Genom att använda enThis study explores the acculturative challenges faced by Swedes with diverse religious, ethnic, racial, or cultural backgrounds, focusing on how these experiences relate to self-esteem. It examines the relationship between acculturative stress and self-esteem and investigates how coping strategies shape the experience and management of these stressors. Using a mixed method approach, we assess the

Newts have large genomes harboring many repeat elements. How these elements shape the genome and relate to newts' unique regeneration ability remains unknown. We present here the chromosome-scale assembly of the 20.3 Gb genome of the Iberian ribbed newt, Pleurodeles waltl, with a hitherto unprecedented contiguity and completeness among giant genomes. Utilizing this assembly, we demonstrate conserv

INTRODUCTION: Despite predicted efficacy, immunotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has limited clinical benefit and the prognosis of patients remains poor. There is thus a strong need for better identifying local immune dynamics and immune-suppressive pathways limiting T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity.METHODS: In this observational study we analyzed by immunohistochemistry, gene express

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a common chronic condition that affects over 26 million people worldwide. It is a progressive and debilitating disease with a broad symptom profile, intermittently marked by periods of acute decompensation. People with HF generally do not self-manage their condition well (eg, monitoring symptoms, taking medications regularly, physical activity, etc). A better unde

Changes in hydration status may affect myocardial native T1 and T2 values and influence the clinical interpretation. We aimed to assess the impact of acute preload augmentation on native T1 and T2. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) native T1 and T2 mapping were performed twice on the same day in 20 healthy participants before and after an acute preload augmentation by a 2-liter intravenous i

In response to the growing demand for sustainable practices in the hospitality industry, many hotels have concentrated on operational measures to reduce energy consumption. However, the potential for promoting voluntary customer-initiated energy-saving behaviors has been largely overlooked. This study fills that gap by investigating how environmental values (egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric) a

BACKGROUND: Canine gastroenteritis (CGE) is a common cause for seeking veterinary care in companion animal medicine and an area where antibiotics have been reported to be widely used. Therefore, creating relevant benchmarks for antibiotic use in CGE is important when implementing and analyzing antibiotic stewardship interventions. The aim of this paper was to describe the level and temporal trend

INTRODUCTION: Much of what we know about the functioning of human T lymphocytes is based on the experiments carried out in atmospheric oxygen (O₂) concentrations, which are significantly higher than those maintained in blood. Interestingly, the gender differences in the activity of T cells and their susceptibility to apoptosis under different O₂ conditions have not yet been described. The aim of t

Increased radioactivity in the near-surface atmosphere is virtually an annual occurrence in the Gomel region, Belarus. However, there is no explicit evidence as to what causes these anomalies and whether their origin has a strong seasonal association. To establish any such relations, we have analysed long-term radiation monitoring data recorded in the region over the past 17 years from 2003 to 202

Haemolysis occurring during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is assumed to be a risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Plasma alpha-1 microglobulin (A1M) may have a protective role as haem scavenger. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between AKI and the degree of haemolysis and the course of A1M concentrations during cardiac surgery, respectiv
