Coeliac disease : what can we learn from prospective studies about disease risk?
Paediatric prospective studies of coeliac disease with longitudinal collection of biological samples and clinical data offer a unique perspective on disease risk. This Review highlights the information now available from international paediatric prospective studies on genetic and environmental risk factors for coeliac disease. In addition, recent omics studies have made it possible to study comple
Computer vision-based assessment of cyclist-tram track interactions for predictive modeling of crossing success
Introduction: Single Bicycle Brashes (SBCs) are common, and underreported in official statistics. In urban environments, light rail tram tracks are a frequent factor, however, they have not yet been the subject of engineering analysis. Method: This study employs video-based analysis at nine Dublin city centre locations and introduces a predictive model for crossing success on tram tracks, utilisin
Young adults’ narratives about living with home mechanical ventilation–a phenomenological hermeneutical study
Purpose: An increasing number of children and young adults with complex medical conditions and respiratory failure are treated with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). The current study aimed to describe how young adults using HMV experience their everyday life with the ventilator, their physical impairments and their opportunities for an educational and professional career. Materials and methods:
The Consultant's Quest : Expansion Game for the Opera The Prophecies
How can ludic play frame and assist the participants' interactions in an immersive opera? The Consultant's Quest was developed as an artistic response to the idea and the challenge of integrating articulated game-playing as a both methodic and affective instrument in relation to operatic elements. Presented as a card-driven board game in connection to the operatic experience The Prophecies, The CoHow can ludic play frame and assist the participants' interactions in an immersive opera?

A Wideband Co-Linearly Polarized Composite Antenna with High Isolation
In this paper, a high-isolation two-port co-linearly polarized (co-LP) composite antenna is proposed. Dipole and W8JK array modes with co-LP omnidirectional patterns can be simultaneously supported by a plate with two etched back-to-back tapered slots. A microstrip differential and a T-divider coupling feeding networks are developed to selectively excite the dipole and W8JK modes, which results in
Wollstonecraft, Mary
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) was an English philosopher in the Enlightenment tradition, writer, novelist, and book reviewer. She was an advocate for women’s rights and for equality of wealth and privilege and supported the French Revolution. She made her name in 1790 as the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Men, the first published commentary on Edmund Burke’s critique of the French Revo
The Prophecies
The Prophecies is an AI-based chamber opera with interactive features in which the visitors are immersed in a ritualistic and temple-like setting where they can meet a singing oracle who instead of appearing to be connected to ancient divinities receives messages from the digital realm. The underlying theme of the opera is the eternal human search for guidance and our hope for help from external a
Climate and dispersal limitation drive tree species range shifts in post-glacial Europe : results from dynamic simulations
Introduction: The ability of species to colonize newly suitable habitats under rapid climate change can be constrained by migration processes, resulting in a shift of the leading edge lagging behind the ameliorating climate, i.e. migration lag. The importance and extent of such migration lags during the forest expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are still debated. Similarly, the relativ
Ligand-centered to metal-centered activation of a Rh(iii) photosensitizer revealed by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations
Excited state evolution of the rhodium(iii) complex [Rh(iii)(phen)2(NH3)2]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been investigated theoretically to gain a better understanding of light-driven activation of high-energy metal centered states. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations show the significance of asymmetric motion on a multidimensional potential energy landscape around the metal cente
Vertical Sky Component (VSC) and daylight regulation compliance by the EN 17037 and BFS 2011:6 standards
This paper explores the relationship between the Vertical Sky Component (VSC) metric and the European and Swedish daylighting regulations. VSC, a static geometrical metric, is considered a useful early indicator of indoor daylighting, as it is insensitive to late-stage design details such as material properties and internal layout. However, its relationship with modern building daylighting legisla

Other Important Elements
In addition to the major nutrients carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, many minor elements play an important role in the function of freshwater systems. Such elements may function as essential micronutrients, or they may affect the biota by being toxic, or they play an indirect role by influencing the mobility and availability of other elements. This chapter covers the fundamentals of important mino
Effect of polymer addition on the phase behavior of oil-water-surfactant systems of Winsor III type
Ternary oil-water-surfactant systems can give rise to an O/W microemulsion in equilibrium with excess oil, a W/O microemulsion in equilibrium with excess water, or a bicontinuous microemulsion in equilibrium with excess oil and water. This type of phase behavior has been known for a long time and the three systems are often referred to as Winsor I, Winsor II and Winsor III, respectively after the

A high resolution multi-object spectrograph for the VLT : a pre-concept design
Following the idea originally proposed during the ESO-Workshop The Very Large Telescope in 2030, the concept of a high resolution spectrograph for the VLT has been further explored, both for the science and technological aspects. Such an instrument will fill a gap in capabilities amongst the landscape of future instrumentation planned for the next decade. Its key characteristic will be high spectr
Perspectives of current understanding and therapeutics of Diamond-Blackan anemia
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital bone marrow failure disorder characterized by erythroid hypoplasia. It primarily affects infants and is often caused by heterozygous allelic variations in ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Recent studies also indicated that non-RP genes like GATA1, TSR2, are associated with DBA. P53 activation, translational dysfunction, inflammation, imbalanced globi
Opera Inside-Out : Reversed Staging for Sensory Immersion
How can the unseen be heard and imagined through operatic means? In the chamber opera In the Darkness, Everything Went All Black – set in pitch-black darkness – the stage was radically inverted. For the purpose of exploring the immersive potential of spatial reversal, methods for operatic creation and presentation were rethought in terms of visibility, layout, work order, and surveillance.
