The study delves into the production of (multi-) strange hadrons in proton-proton collisions at LHC. Novel observables are proposed to distinguish between Epos4, based on core-corona separation between a thermalised QGP phase and a vacuum phase with global strangeness conservation, and Pythia 8.3, based on microscopic interactions between Lund strings that conserve strangeness locally. Correlation

Family accommodation (FA) is widely-recognised as an important clinical phenomenon in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders, and is related to poorer treatment outcomes. However, FA has not been quantitatively explored in Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns and correlates of maternal accommodation in adolescent BDD, and its asso

Background: White noise stimulation has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing working memory in children with ADHD. However, its impact on other executive functions commonly affected by ADHD, such as inhibitory control, remains largely unexplored. This research aims to explore the effects of two types of white noise stimulation on oculomotor inhibitory control in children with ADHD. Method: Memory gu

What happens when the state removes the usual obstacles preventing refugees to ‘integrate’? Our article analyses the case of Ukrainians who fled the war to settle in France. Their legal status is different from that of ‘classic’ refugees: the EU directive on temporary protection gives them the freedom to move and the right to work. Moreover, they benefit from a rather positive attitude of the gene

Around one in ten Central Asians work abroad. Most migrant workers are Uzbeks, followed by Tajiks and Kyrgyz. They leave their homeland because of poverty and a lack of prospects. Many go to Russia. Their remittances from there to their home country are an important economic factor. In Russia, migrants live under difficult conditions. Many end up living illegally. So-called “digital neighbourhoods

This study compares the self-perception of first (L1) and second (L2) language competence and dyslexia awareness in two groups of dyslexic students, one German and one Italian, learning English as a second language. Based on a survey, we investigate the relationship between students’ self-perception of their L1 and L2 competence, and how perceived L1 competence, L2 learning motivation, time of dys

Obesity and cardiometabolic disease often, but not always, coincide. Distinguishing subpopulations within which cardiometabolic risk diverges from the risk expected for a given body mass index (BMI) may facilitate precision prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. Accordingly, we performed unsupervised clustering in four European population-based cohorts (N ≈ 173,000). We detected five discordant p

BACKGROUND: Transportation noise has been linked with breast cancer, but existing literature is conflicting. One proposed mechanism is that transportation noise disrupts sleep and the circadian rhythm. We investigated the relationships between road traffic noise, DNA methylation in circadian rhythm genes, and breast cancer. We selected 610 female participants (318 breast cancer cases and 292 contr

Hepcidin is an essential regulator of systemic iron availability mediating both iron uptake from the diet and its release from body stores. Abnormally high hepcidin levels resulting from inflammation in chronic diseases cause iron restriction with the onset of anemia. Restoring physiological levels of hepcidin could contribute to ameliorating anemia in these patients. Heparin derivatives are known

Objectives Physical function is often a main focus of knee injury rehabilitation, but recent recommendations include increasing attention to psychological factors. We have developed the MOTor Imagery to Facilitate Sensorimotor re-learning (MOTIFS) training model which integrates dynamic motor imagery into physical rehabilitation. The objective is to report interim analysis results of an adaptive r

The onset of resistance to artemisinin for malaria treatment has stimulated the quest for novel antimalarial drugs. Herein, the gold(III) coordination complexes Aubipy [Au(bipy)Cl]+ (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine), Auphen [Au(phen)Cl]+ (phen = phenanthroline), Auterpy [Au(terpy)Cl]2+ (terpy = 2,2';6',2″-terpyridine), and corresponding hydrolyzed species, have been investigated as inhibitors of the Plasmo

Forests have seen a strong greening trend worldwide, and previous studies have attributed this mainly to land-use conversions such as afforestation. However, for the greening of existing forests, the role of human interventions is unclear. Here we paired neighboring natural and planted forests in Southern China to minimize the differences between the forest types and analyzed the vegetation index

Dragonflies are poikilothermic animals with limited thermoregulation; therefore, their entire bodies, including the brain, experience a range of temperatures during their daily activities.1,2 These flying insects exhibit hunting prowess, pursuing prey or conspecifics whether in direct sunlight or under the cover of cloud.3,4 Likely to underlie these aerobatic feats are the small target motion dete
